The Toledo Blade.

Before the close of 1902 the Toledo
Blade will be installed In Its new build
ing, with modern plant and equip
ment with facilities equal to any pub
lication between New York city and
Chicago. 1t is the only weekly news
paper edited expressly for every state
and territory. The news of the world
so arranged that busy people can more
easily comprehend than by reading
cumbersome columns of dailies All
current topics made plain in each issue
by special editorial matter, written
from inception down to date. The
only paper published especially for
people who do or do not read daily
newspapers and yet thirst for plain
facts. That this kind of newspaper
is popular is proven by the fact that
the Weekly Blade now has over l78,000
yearly subscribers and is circulated in
all parts of the United States. In adj
dition to the news, the Blade publishes
short and serial stories and many de-
partments of matter suited to every
member of the family. Only one dol

Everybody Is writing nowadays" !"
sighed magazine editor, disgustedly,
as he ran through pile of manu-
scripts heaped up on his desk, accord
ing to the New York Herald. Here is
sonnet from cabman, story from
policeman and an.essay from soap
maker at Penobseot, Me-" 1t is true.
All the world is pushing the pen or
banging the typewriter, and one never
knows at what moment his best friend
may not draw deadly historical novel
on him or demand that he peruse a
driveling narrative of rustic life"
In this era of well-nigh universal au-
thorship there has arisen band of
unscrupulous knaves who. with the
skill of confidence man, endeavor to
turn the popular desire for literary
fame to their advantage.
ut is the greatest graft that ever
happened, my boy" said one Of the
most cold-blooded of these rogues, as
he boasted of his achievements. 1--WE
have our hands on the most potent
valve of the human mind-the conceit
of literary authorship--and when we
press the button the money is sure to
follow. We keep sharp lookout as
soon as we learn of an aspiringauthor
who is engaged upon 'magnum opus,
or has had one turned down by big
publisher, we camp on his trail, and
we never let up till we land him.
"Of course we adopt stand-ofish'
policy as soon as he begins to nibble,
tell him that we can never consider his
book untilit has run thegauntlet Of our
readers and critics, but that is only for
the purpose of increasing his own be-
lief in its great qualities. Lord bless
you, il it is the yeriest rot ever penned
we will handle it. An adverse criticism
upon book is an unknown quantity in
our shop.
''Then we inform him that the ex-
pense of publication will be about
$500, which we expect him to stand. He
demurs, whereupon we ask him how
many copies he thinks he can dispose
OF himself. lncautiously and ignorant
ly he estimates the number at 1000. In
reality, if he has good luck and lots of
friends he can sell about so. We show
him, however, that by his own state
ment he will be able to publish at his
own risk to much better advantage
than If we offered him terms, and so he
is at last firmly hooked.
THAT 5000 is merely a first contribu-
tion, though. He speedily finds that his
manuscript must be thoroughly re-
vised, corrected and punctuated, at
cost of 800; illustrations must be Sc
cured, the proof must be read and a
hundred other little things done, each
Of which has its separate fee. l may
say that never let an author get away
from me for less than 5000.
FINALLY, when he is MIXED dry, we
turn over 1000 printed and bound
books to him and give our attention to
a fresh victim"
"Do they ever come back with a Sec
ond book?"
Never. That Is the sole drawback
to the business. One never has the
chance to make steady connections,
for our clientele is always changing"

Everybody has read stories of mys.
terious islands exercising an irresisti-
BILE attraction on ships passing near
them. These, OF course, are pure in
ventions; but there is an island named
Bornholm in the Baltic sea near the
coast of Denmark whose rocks, accord
ing to a Vienna journal, Der Stein der
Weisen, are so strongly magnetic that
they affect the compasses of passing
ships, even as far as nine miles away.
In this manner Bornholm may be said
to turn vessels out Of their course, since
an error of the compass needle may
cause a corresponding error in the
steering of a ship.

The nird That FIies Lonaest.

Mr., J. Lancaster. naturalist, who

Florida studying birds there, came to
the conclusion that Of an the feathsred
tenants OF the air the frigate bird can
ly the longest without resting. lie has
seen one dying Tor a whole weeS night
and day without repose.
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma.
terials for its nest aud even sleep on
the wing. Apparently its wings can
be controlled automatically. without
the power OF It's will. and Il probably
adapts itself 10 take advantage of the
upward or bearing force OF the wind.
