THE FADING DECLARATION" :"

IAN interesting phase OF this work now being
scientifically studied by the bureau of standards
in conjunction with the library is the fading OF
writing under sunlight Not only certain
inks likely 20 fade. but the texture OF the paper
undergoes a change. The bureau Of standards
IS preparing instruments for measuring any de-
tcrioration in Ink or paper. Ii must be

The modern repairer of documents does not
hesitate to put documents intended for repairs
in water for the advance in knowledge has made
this method safe; and. in fact. the depth OF color
of the ink is increased by th<s method. This is
due to the fact that ink was formerly made of
nut gals and by hand 1 can remember that my
father thus made his own ink but ink has
been made in that way in the last forty years.
Calls have been made the library by our
new dependencies in the Philippines and Porto
Rico for help to combat the little insect known
as the pollilla. which makes Iacework of books
eating through and through them. Formerly
protection sought against this insect by
making bOokshelves of teakwood and placing
the ends of them in boxes Of pitch or some
ncavy oil. but those precautions were found to
be insufficient. To put the volumes In tin boxes
occasionally washed with petroleum Is better.
We have had here some instances of the ravages
OF insects. and some OF Che books received we
have had to fumlgate before could put them
the shelves. although the pollla itself could
hardly live here because there is not enough
moisture or heat for it,

AN UNSELFISH HORSE.

A doctor and a clergyman exercising their

animals possessed the sweeter disposition.

MY mare has the best temper of any horse in the

the editing and publication of valuable historic
