kSe.s=S more than half a million volumes
MEM The Congressional Library, in Wash
ington. and the New York Public Lib
rnry have more than a million each
Foreign libraries have even more. The Biblio-
theque National, of France, has 5000 600; the
British Museum has 100000; and the Imperial
Library, of st. Petersburg, has 100000 Some
OF these institutions have collections of manu-
scripts, but nearly all Of the volumes mentioned
above are products of the printing press.
But however wonderfully these vast treasures
Of knowledge may appear they eink back into the
commonplace when we rend of the Libraries that
were accumulated by the ancients When we
consider that every volume in one of those ancient
libraries were carefully written by hand, we are
fairly staggered by the fact that the Alexandrian
Library in Egypt, held within It's walls no fewer
than seven hundred thousand volumes, two cen.
turics before the birth of Christ
All preceding collections of which we have
any record arc cclipsed by the Alexandrian Lib.
r0ry, founded by Ptoemy Softer, b c. 300. IT
was designed by him for the use of an academy
of his institution, and was contained in the
Bruchion where were 100000 volumes; to which
Ptolemy Philndelphus added the library in the
Serapeum, which was augmented until it mum
bcrcd 100000 volumes; making the Alexandrian
Library TO consist Of 100000 volumes.
The Alexandrion Library was often plundered,
but maintained its bulk by new accessons until
A. d. $40, when il was barbarously destroyed by
the Saracens by order of the Calf Omar
This noble collection, which had now num-
bercd nine hundred and thirty years since its
by Ptolemy Softer, was distributed
among the four thousand baths of Alexandria,
and supplied them with fuel for six months

CRUSHED BY LOO
Wallace Mcdonald Victim of Serious
Accident at Johnson Logging
Camp.

Wallace Mcdonald, the youngest
son of Charles Mcdonald, met with
an accident Saturday morning, that
may result in making him cripple
for life. He was working at the
johnson logging camp on the La
Creole river above Dallas and was
caught beneath a moving log and
badly crushed. AS soon as he could
be rescued from his perilous position,
he was taken to Falls City, where
medical aid was summoned. An ex-
animation Of his injuries did not dis
close any broken bones, but it was
found that his spine was seriously
injured and that he was hurt inter-
nally. The young man was brought
to Dallas, Wednesday, and is at the
home of Mrs. Ollie McCarter.
Late reports from his bedside are
to the effect that he may recover,
but the doctors express the fear that
the injury to his spine will leave him
hopelessly paralyzed.
