For quite a while Il was thought that book
worms would not touch modern paper be-
cause OF the clay. the blenches. the plaster
Of Paris and other adulterants used in It's
manufacture.
Father O'Conor declares that he found
bOolswOrms Reasting upOn some recent
volumes of a New York newspaper. That
Ia not 80 remarkable as the reverend
gentleman seemed to think. The paper in
question MAJ have been made Of wood
pulp, which would have suited the book
worms absolutely.
They are vogetnrians by choice. The
probability. however. is that IL was rag
PAPER. He found other worms Rt work on
bound volumes OF the Scientific American
OF 1879 and 1878. Other books Of COM
Paratively recent date AVE suffered. so IL
appears that the bookwOrm is not rarticu-
lar about his diet.
Various methods of discOuraging his
depredations rave been suggested. Book
binders advise poisoning the paste used.
But even corrosive sublimate has been
used in this way without having al effect
on the bookwOrm.
One authority says to rub the books three
times a year. in March. July and Septem-
Der. with a mixture Of powdered alum
and pepper on a piece of woollen cloth.
This sounds as II 1t would take away the
appetite Of even the most voracious worm.
but Father O'COnor ~inclines to. the belief
that it is the rubbing more than the pepper
and alum which is e~ffectual. He says:
LET the librarian twice or thrice a year
overhaul the library. busting each separate
book with a cloth. Wipe rather h dust.
Expensive? Very we'll. let a worm eat one
expensive volume and then count the cost.
Where there is dust. poor ventilation and
lack of light, sooner or later the bookworm
will enter and. devour."

~. 1000, 600 HORSEPOWER.
OT That Total In This Country TwO-thIris
Comes From COal.

NVNtNh FHVuN aVNhs
BY far the greater portion Of the power
manufactured at the present time is de-
veloped from the combustion Of coal. and of
this again the greatest part is produced
from steam engines and boilers.
IL is estimated that at the present time
there is nearly 1900. 900 horsepower de-
velopcd in the United States. OF this. says
the Forum. more than 10000. O0Ohorse-power
il PRODUCED by the burning of coal. about
100. 1000 OO tons being consumed in the
operation.
About BOG. 1000 horsepower. it is esti-
mated. is derived from gas engines. or as
they are better termed internal combus-
ton engines, and yet there is no doubt that
the internal combustion engine. burning
the gaseous fuel directly in the power cylin-
der. requires but one-half AZ much coal per
horse-pOwer as the steam engine.
There IL at the present tame n rapidly
growing interest in the development of the
combustion engine! and II is probable that
in many power PLANTS to be erected in the
near future the steam boiler and engine
will be reT laced by the gas producer and
combustion engine. This is tho more prob
able since the structural and operative
difficulties encountered in the early at
tempts TO make large gas engines have been
Practically overcome and gas engines in
units az large as 5000 horsepower are suC-
cessfUlIy built and operated.
ACart from the fact that the gas engine
uses the heat twice as efficiently as the
steam engine in the conversion OF the latent
energy of the fuel into useful work, 10 has
also the still greater advantage Of Offering
the possibility of utilizing fuels of low grade
uusuited for use in the boiler furnace.

From me Shanghai UCrcU'B.
The question of "A diplomatic language has
been raised in China for the first time in our
recollection by the japanese within the last
week or two. Up to the present time treaties
have been made out in the language of the
West as well IA in that of China and in each
case il has been stipulated that u there we're
found to be any difference between tho two
the Western should be held to be the correct
version. But as n rule, we believe. communi-
cations with native officials have been in
Chinese. and the Japanese In sending in
theirs in their own tongue have attempted
to create an awkward precedent.
For "a very long period the diplomatic Ian
guage of Europe has been French. though of
