college president recently suggested
that public Libraries ought to burn their
dead books. By dead books" he means
those that have not been asked for once
in five years. Thereupon q librarian
writes to the Philadelphia Record that
among other baaks on his shelves which
have not been asked for once in five
years are tom JONES'" "Tristram
Shandy," plato" 'The HAD" Dan
tie" THE Aeneid," Marlowe's Jews of
Malta" Sponsors "Faerie Queene,"
Pope's poems, the plays of Beaumont
and Fletcher, and "Vathek." There are
several more books on his shelves, he
says, which, under the college presi-
dents definition, would be dead
books" but, he says, eff we should
burn them the loss to the library would
be, l fancy, rather perceptible." 1t is
likely that the college president had
In mind when he made his sweeping
suggestion the uncalled for fiction of the
cheaper sort which lumbers up the
shelves of every library. 1t might be
an excellent thing to get rid Of most
Of this, but it would be more profitable
to dispose of 1t to the second hand deal
ers than to burn 1t. But, on the other
hand, the late DR.. Poole, who had had
large experience with books, used to
say ''never destroy any book. Some
time, it may be year hence or fifty
years hence, some person will wish that
book" 1t does not follow a book Is
valueless because not called for. 1t
may be doubted, indeed, whether any
book ever dies. Books may be unused
for years, then Unexpectedly come into
demand. They may have long periods
of resting and come to be almost for
gotten; then public interest revives in
them and they are as great favorites as
es ever. Witness the new edition of
the novels of Miss Burney, Richardson,
and others, which were long ago sup
posed to be dead" In the sense I'M
piled by the college president, and wit
ness also the great demand for them.
His suggestion was a most unfortunate
one. Pliny the elder used to say that
mo book was so bad but some good
might be got out of It," and CervanteS
repeated this sage observation in Don
Quixote."

as the principal matter of interest.
Z. No unnecessary accessories. The
camera takes in with too great sharp
ness all the details within range and
the tendency OF the inartistic amateur
is to help it make a record of all his
possessions at once.
8. There should be a proper balance
between the amount of light and
shade
D. Don't omit to get some sort of
sky into the picture, even If it is no
more than summing the print after 1t
comes from the printing frame, so that
the sky shades up from bright hori-
zon to somewhat deeper color above.
10. Look out for the foreground and
the lower corners. They ought not to
look like a barren waste, nor ought
anything of Importance to appear in
them.

Thomas Barker, another gambler.
Barker was dealing a game in a back
room Of the saloon when Engle en-
tered the saloon. Going to the table
where the game was in progress he
leaned over between two of the play
ers and fred four shots in quick sue
cession at Barker. Three shots took
effect in his right arm near the Shout
der and one in his right side, the lat
ter causing his death. Barker was 60
years of age and was we'll known in
Coos Bay. Engle was cauptured.

only means of warmth, except as her
husband held her hands, and her moth

ately fond of her daughter, and her dis
tress on account of her Illness and pow

Mrs. Poe died In the little sitting

from here her husband, wearing the
military coat that had but lately been

For some time after his wife's death

house and establish it as a memorial to

hill was by far the best home he had
yet known. 1t was only story and
a half high. On the ground floor are
two small rooms, a sitting room and a
kitchen, while above, reached by a
narrow stairway, are two other rooms,
one of these, Poe's, cramped little
box of place, lighted by tiny win
dows, the other bed room about the
size of closet. Mrs. Cove, who visit
ed the Poes here. says: 1.-THE furni-
ture was of the simplest; in the clean,
white-floored kitchen, were table, a
chair and a little stove, and in the 9th
err room, which was laid with checked
mating, were only light stand with
presentation volumes of the Brown
lngs upon it, some hanging shelves
with a few other books ranged on
them, and four chairs"
Poe's wife, Virginia, only %, was
still beautiful, her large black eyes
and dark hair accentuating her pallor,
and Poe, proud, ill., and bitter with a
sense of the injustice of the world and
his own inability to provide the COM
forts required for his wife, was in a
constant fever of anxiety.
AS the summer went on Virginia
failed and faded away daily and the
resources of the household were being
slowly reduced to the starving point.
Autumn came, the snow and the cold
and the winter seclusion, and affairs
grew desperate.

THE 500 POWER CANAL.

Cost $5,oOO,OoO and Required Four
Years to Construct.
1t has taken four years to construct
and $5,000,000 to build the great water
power canal which has been finished at
Sault Ste. Marie. This canal is consid-
cred by engineers as the most magnifi-
cent work of its kind in the world Like
an immense river, 220 feet broad, and
deep enough to float the biggest vessel
that sails the lakes it divides Sault Ste
Marie into city Of two parts, with the
island portion now for the first time
completely surrounded by water, the
business section and the balance of the
city being given over to the homes of its
citizens.
The canal is two and a third miles
long, from the mouth of the intake

Earthquakes in Utah.

Salt Lake, Utah.-Since November
II, when an earthquake shook up
southern Utah and as far north as
Salt Lake, daily shocks have been felt
in the extreme southeastern portion
of the state. According to advices
received from Pine Valley, hamlet
in the mountains of Washington
county not a day has passed since
that date that at least one earth
quake shock has not been felt and SER
ious alarm is being felt for the safety
OF the place. Every chimney in the
town has been badly cracked or com
pletely tumbled over. At Pinto, the
shocks have been SO severe that the
public school has been abandoned for
several days. About Is miles south
are five or six old craters, and the
continuance of the earthquake shocks
has strengthened the belief that there
has been a fresh outbreak Of volcanic
activity in the mountains Of that re-
gion.

The following rules have been CON-
piled fer amateurs:
1. Do not put the principal object of
interest in the exact center of the pic
ture.
z. Do not have the light and shade
In patchy spots all over the picture
3. Do not have the lines in the pic
ture sloping off to one side, nor have
figures apparently walking off the pa
per.
i. Do not have prominent objects
In straight line, nor with equal
spaces between them.
D. Remember that an effect of dis
lance is produced by lack Of sharpness
of outline as well as by diminishing
size.
6. The picture should tell but one

Hardshins RetoId.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 17.-Tales of
eviction from houses owned by G. B.
Markle & Co., the narration of the
death of a wife as a result of an en-
forced removal from her home and the
story of a mother whose husband was
killed in the Markle mines, and of
how she and her two boys struggled
for years to pay the Markles the back
rent and coal bill she owed them, were
the principal features of Tuesdays
sessions of the coal strike commission.
The testimony as given by some OF the
witnesses whose lives are given up to
the coal mining industry was at times
pathetic and surprising to the com
missioners, who listened to it with I'M
divided attention.

London's Unemployed.

London-1n East London thousands
of unemployed persons daily congre-
gate at the dock yard gates, literally
fighting for a chance to do a days
work. Unskilled laborers there are
in strong force and the police find it
necessary to protect the former who
distribute the work tickets each morn
ing.
1t is estimated that 100000 persons
are idle in the United Kingdom and
the board of trade returns show the
largest percentage for 10 years past
of unskilled persons out of work,
while the proportion of skilled men
without employment is constantly
growing.

intake has an area of more than $4,000
square feet through which will flow a
volume which is estimated to be 10000
cubic feet per second, with a velocity of
about two feet per second or about one
and half miles per hour. The entrance
is S91 feet wide and eighteen feet deep.
In its excavation some 100000 cubic
yards of material were removed.
At the lower end the canal widens out
into the forebay, or mill pond, for the
purpose of securing sufficient frontage
for the uniform distribution of the wa
ter to all the turbines, which are in
stalled along the river face of the fore
bay In the power-house. Because Of
this expansion the water issuing from
the canal at once disperses and enters
the turbines at velocity of two feet
per second.
TIE river front or the forebay Is
closed by the power-houso, the dupli-
cate of which cannot be found In the
United States. 1t is constructed OF red
sandstone, Is forty-eight feet over a
quarter of mile in length, is 100 feet
wide, and 125 feet high. The energy to
be developed by this immense engineer
ing achievement Is estimated at 100000
horse power, developed by 800 turbines.
After converting the water power into
electrical power the latter will be trans
mitted to various plants.

Tragic Story of the Fordham House,
Where His Wife Died.
Few homes associated with men Of
genius have attracted more sympa-
thetic and melancholy interest than
the little cottage in Fordham, N. Y,
where the bitter tragedy of Edgar
Poe's life was played nearly to the
end.
He established himself at Fordham
in 1916 with his young wife and her
mother, the longsuffering and patient
Mrs. GLENN, hoping by his work on
various newspapers and magazines in
the great city near by to make enough
to afford the necessary comforts for
his invalid Virginia and himself. The
little cottage on the top of Fordham

this sort of publicity. In 1877 Col Pope
organized the Pope Manufacturing
Company, which started year later
with an output of fifty wheels. Now the
company employs a capital of upward
of S20,O00,000, covers ten acres of floor
age In its factory at Hartford, Conn,
and besides an army of skilled mechan-
les engaged the services of 1000 selling
agents. Col. Pope gained his title In
the War of the Rebellion, entering the
service as a private at the age of Is
years and receiving his discharge with
the rank of lieutenant colonel. He
served under Burnside, Grant and Sher-
man.
