Japs Read lAatio Fiction.

An Insight into the literary tastes OF
the Japanese Is given by a report upon
the kinds Of books most In demand at
the imperial library of that country.
While 12.4s6 works relating to the.
ology and religion, or only 10 per cent
OF the total number of books In the II.
brary. were asked for according to the
records of last year, there were de-
manded by readers 1d6,G77 volumes, or
2l.6 per cent, classified under the head
of mathematics, science and medicine
Works on literature and language to
the number of l53.7l1-that Ia 20 per
cent, We're asked for. while IS per cent
of the applications We're for books on
history and geography.
Fiction, the report says. finds no
place In the classified table of hooks in
demand by readers In this japanese
library. "a curious contrast to the ex.
perlence In most English public free
llbraries," ana to the experience OF
American libraries.
Work on art, industries. engineering
military and naval science figure
prominently on the list of additions
made In recent years to the shelves OF
the imperial library.

Swiss houses impress one almost In.
varlably with sense of loneliness.
Probably this may be attributed to the
contrast they present 20 their sur.
roundings. They are commonly
dwarfed into insignificance by the gi-
gantlc scenery In which they have
been placed. But near at hand they
are decidedly pretty. although their
architectural style Is distinct from any
other.
They are rarely painted and seldom
Ornamented or embcllished, save that
the boards and shingles are not In

shapes. Sometimes the front Of a
chalet bears the owners or builders
