he had brought against Mrs. Adelia s.

his home at the Cove. at Oyster Bay. After
listening to the testimony Judge Thomas
dismissed the case without allowing it to
70 to the jury. saying there was no cause
for action.
Mrs. Underhill had the house insured
when she sold 1t. but did not have the title
of the insurance transferred to Mr.. Sewell.
The deeds were given to George B. Stod-
dard. a lawyer Of this place. by MIR. Sewell
with instructions to have a few changes In
the description Of the property made. Mr..
Stoddsrd had the papers when a IRE de-
stroyed the house a short time ago.

Perhaps the largest and most valna
BILE OF literary treasures the world has
lost was the Alexandrian library. This
collection, the most remarkable of the
ancient world, is said to have con.
tanned In It's most fiourishing period
100000 or, according to others, 700 900
manuscripts. Its royal founder col
lected from all nations their choicest
composition. We are told that one of
his successors went so far as to re-
fuse 70 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 re-
placed by the collection presented to
Queen Cleopatra by Marc Antony.
But II was not destined to endure
long When the Emperor Theodosius
the Great In S91 A. ID. ordered the
destruction OF all heather temples
within the Roman empire, the Chris
tians, led by the archbishop Theophil-
u.s. 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 burned in $40 by saracens under
