FORGED TO EAT BOOKS.
People Who in This Way Have Con- tributed to the Destruction
 of Literature.

Among the causes that contribute to the destruction of books, says an Italian writer, America Scarlatti, there is one very curious one that may be called bibliophagia. No reference is intended to the mice that once de- stroyed in England an entire edition of Castelrs Lexicon Heptaglotton," :" but to human beings who have liter ally devoured books.
 In 1887 Barnabo visconti compelled two papal delegates to eat the bull of excommunication which they had brought him. together with its silken cords and leaden seal As the bull was written on parchment. says the Scientific American, not paper, 1t was all the more difficult to digest.
 A similar anecdote was related by oelrich, in his Dissertation de Bib liothecarum ct Librorum Fatis" (1756), of an Austrian general. who had signed note for 2.Oo0 fiorins, and when 1t fell due compelled his cred itnrs to eat it.
 The Tartars. when books fell into their possession, eat them, that they may acquire the knowledge contained in them.
 A Scandinavian writer. the author of a political book, was compelled to choose between being beheaded or eat ing his manuscript boiled in broth.
 Isaac volmar. who wrote some spicy satires against Bernard. duke of Sax ony. was not allowed the courtesy of the kitchen. but was forced to swallow them uncooked.
 Still worse was the fate of Philip Oldenburger. jurist of great re- nown, who was condemned not only to eat a pamphlet of his writings, but also to be fiogged during his repast. with orders that the nogging should not cease until he had swallowed the last crumb.

PROFIT IN WINDOW POSING
Professional Who Can Keep the Same Attitude Almost Two Hours
 at Time.

Of the many curious ways of mak- ing living not one is more unique than that which St. Louis man has adopted as a profession. He is 9 win dow poser, and has made such a sue cess of the work that his wife and seven -year-old daughter assist him.
 This man began to pose in the win- dows of business houses about ten years ago. But his work was con- monplace enough and he shared the honors of 1t. with many others.
 But one night in a dream he saw himself striking attitudes to display wearing apparel before crowd. The dream impressed him and he began practicing the poses. He found he could hold some of them a long time. and the more he practiced the more expert he became.
 Finally he went to clothing store and offered to pose in a window for a certain wage. He drew 8 crowd. People were perplexed to know wheth- CT he was a real man or an inanimate model. They tried to make him laugh. They tapped on the window.
 The boys particularly delighted in experiments to ascertain what the man in the window was like. The man says they did not disconcert him In the least.
 He explains his motionless periods by saying that he concentrates his mind upon what he is doing and does not permit it to rove to anything else. He says he has done this sort of thing until his wife and even his little sev- en-year-old girl can initiate him and do the trick as well as he can.

Jacques
SHENANDOAH

The summer stock companys sea- son at the Jacques opened yesterday under the most fattering auspices with a splendid presentation or Bronson Towards great old war play, Shenandoah" The little the ater was literally packed to the doors at both performances and at the evening show hundreds were turned away. The readiness of the public to patronize the stock produc- tions and the enthusiasm of the au- diences augur well for a successful season. The play was put on with more particular regard for detail than any of last seasons offerings with the exception of Dorothy Yer non" and the mounting of the piece was wonderfully well done. The set tings of the first and last acts were specially made and are fina bits or workmanship. Stage Manager Fitz- gerald's crew made great speed be- tween the acts and there were no waits. Of the play itself little need he said. The Acme club gave It few years ago and it's story is well known. Richard Gordon in the lead ing role of Kerchiyal West read his lines with dignity and repose and will doubtless be big fayorite with the ladies for he is good looking chap. Helene Warde, the Gertrude Ellingham of the play, shows evil dence of great capability. She has a pleasing voice, temperament and an impressive presence. Willard Dashiell played Edward Thornton with distinction and expression, and Frank Wallace made good General Hamill. James Mullin as Captain Heartsease, Harry Langdon as Gen | eral Buckthorne and Billy Walsh as Sergeant Barkett furnished the laughs. Edith Crolius and Louise Leblanc received rousing receptions on their first entrances and proved by their work that they are still to | he reckoned in the honors. James
 Kennedy gave a forceful interpreta-
 tion of Captain Ellingham. and Dan- iel Lawlor by his intelligent playing
 of unimportant bits demonstrated that he is fit for bigger parts. Nel' lie Boutelle and Dorothy Lamb
 made their presence felt, and Jere
 Sanford sang two illustrated songs
 with effect. The production deserves

CHEAP GOAL IN AUSTRALIA
So Abundant in New South Wales It
 Sells for Fifty Gents Ton.

Fifty cents a ton is the price they pay for coal in New South Wales. Coal is so abundant and cheap in New South Wales that it can hardly be said, in places, to add to the value of the surface. It is drawn out by ponies. Beside it are an inexhaustible field of limestone and permanent water. both on a railway line. Rates of haulage on minerals are extremely low. There are enormous deposits of iron ore of richness varying from 60 to 90 per cent.
 The chemical composition has been found satisfactory to experts in Europe. and these deposits usually are alongside deep water, thus facilitating transport. At Burnie. in Tasmania. the deposit from water level up is es- tImated as 20.000.o0o tons. In New soath Wales the deposits within sight are sO.0O0. 900 tons. The deposits known as the Iron Knob and Iron Monarch in South Australia are stated to contain 2o.00a. 900 tons
 The first great demand of Australia has been stated as the comprehensive production of iron and steel from her own ores. These basic articles vii. then be available al half their present imported cost. just ss Australia now supplies herself with the puress of all salt. another basic article. at less than half the price she formerly paid for her importations.
