After the death of Pierce there was

chest filed with letters from the most

them for fuel, in order to diminish
the expense of firewood.
In the great fire of London, in
1868. many manuscripts of the Eliz-

The burning of the Strausburg Ii

In 1898, Gaurino, a learned Ital-

Perhaps the largest and most val
liable of literary treasures was the
Alexandrian library. This collec-
ton. the most remarkable of the an
cient world, is said to have contained
in its most fiourishing period 100000
or, according to others, 100000 man
uscripts. Its royal founder collect
ed from all nations their choicest
composition. We are told that one
of his successors went so far as to
refuse to supply the Athenians with
wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts of Aeschylus'
Sophocles and Euripides.
When julius Caesar laid siege to
the city the greater portion of this
library was destroyed by fire. 1t was
later replaced by the collection pre-
sented to Queen Cleopatra by Mark
Antony.
But it was not destined to endure
long. When the Emperor Theodosla,
the Great in 391 A. d. ordered the
destruction of all heather temples
within the Roman empire, the Chris
tians led by the Archbishop Theopi-
lus, did not spare that of Jupiter, in
which were kept the literary treas
ures. From this general destruction
about 1000 manuscripts escaped
only to be bunred in Gao by Saracens

SCARCITY OF WOODCOCK.
Sportsmen Having Great Difficulty in
 Finding Them.

While many sportsmen throughout the state, and others interested in game, are advancing various theories in explanation of the apparent scarci- ty of partridge and quail, no one has advanced any reason why woodcock are not found in greater numbers. A comparatively few years ago 1t was Tot an unusual thing for a good shot to bag from 15 to % wOodcock in q day during October, and often In No vember. There has been a gradual falling off from year to year in the number of these birds taken. without any apparent reason for the decrease. It is we'll known among sportsmen at least that they. are governed by weather conditions. as they migrate as soon as cold weather comes on.
 The opinion prevails, to some extent that a large number of these birds have been killed by coming fin contact in their flight with telephone and tele- graph wires. but this doesn't satisfac- torily explain 1t. because the same conditions prevailed when woodcock were plentiful Hunters have been unable to get more than two or three long bills in q days hunt on land where they were formerly found iE plenty.

BLACK BEAR WANTED.
Governor Woodruff is Hunting for
 One to Be Used as a Mascot.

Governor Rollin Woodruff is on a hunt for a mascot for the United States battleship Connecticut, the flagship of the fleet which will start around the Cape to the Pacific in a few days.
 A goat wouldn't do, because goats have been tried. A black bear is sug- gested. and would be very acceptable. If any residents of the state have a black bear to spare, they are invited to send him to the governor for use on the Connecticut. The request is from c. L. Claxton, seaman on the Connec- ticut, and reads as follows:
 ''I take pleasure to inform you that the men on the U. s. S. Connecticut have tried in all kinds of ways to get mascot, but have failed every time. So have tried to think you might be able to help us out in some way or other. have sold books of all kinds in trying, and have also failed.
 ''I heard some time ago the people of the state made an offer in The Navy Blue Jacket of black bear. If we can get the same offer again. I will jump at it, as we have tried goats but they die on us on account of not having the right kind of food"
 The governor thinks that when the facts become known to the people of Connecticut, they will see that the battleship named after the state has suitable mascot.
