There are big book stores in all the cities
of Japan, and also in those of Corea and
Manchuria l have before me a list of
the books taken out of some of the big
libraries of Toxic during one month. At
the Osaka library there were over TO-
0G0 applications for books Four thou
sand of these came from students, over
1900 from business men, 2000 from children
and 600 from women.
During the same month at the Ueyno
library in Toxic $4,000 books were taken
out; and the most of these related to
literature, mathematics and medicine.
The calls included somethink like 10000
histories and biographies, 5000 books on
social and political economy and 10000
volumes on engineering and the industrial
arts. The demands under literature and
language probably include fiction, and
the number of calls in this department
was over 10000. There are now in Toxic
200 book-lending shops which require a
desposir and charge from one-half to one
cent per book per day, according to the
value of the book and the time it is out.
Many of the books called for are fiction,
but Buddhist PHILOSOPHERS, foreign trav-
els and biographies, such as those of Lin
coin, Garfield Gladstone Bismarck, Ma
poleon and Roosevelt are in demand.
Roosevet's life is, L understand, very
popular.

VTTRIOL TO KILL CARP.
Food DeIicacy of the Germans Is Dis
liked by Americans.

The Hartford Times, noting the attempt
to exterminate the carp in Southington
pond by using vitriol that resulted in kill
Ing all of the fish except those against
which it was employed, declared it re-
markable that no one had recognized the
carp as valuable. In Germany, where tho
carp is understood the cooks make much
of him, but here he is voted nuisance,
to be destroyed, not caught. These rad
ically opposite estimates of the carp are
probably due to the different opportunities
of the two peoples. The Americans have
such a wide range of fish that they have
acquired a fastidjousness impossible TO
the Germans. This consideration was
overlooked by our government when 80
years ago it imported the carp. The pro-
moters of an experiment which has since
brought down on them the curses of fish
ermen appear to have reasoned that the
Germans were people and ate carp; tho
Americans, being likewise people, would
likewise consume the same fish in the
same quantities.
This Is a kind of reasoning which Is by
no means monopolized by the promoters
of fish culture. Great men, sometimes
cabinet officers and even sociologists, for
get that national tastes and habits are
factors of actual results. The carp came.
and to make them go is now the prob
lem Some states exempt them from their
fish protection laws as nuisances Tho
carp in some places have conquered Huge
fellows-they often weigh 20 pounds
apiece-they have driven out the little
fishes to the disgust of anglers, and as
they root up the mud in their appetite for
water vegetation and thereby pollute
streams The sanitarians are against them,
too. Abhorred by the American fish eater,
the carp have fatened and thriven like
a privileged class and unless some very
radical measures are generally adopted
they will outlive their human enemies.
Carp are said to live to be 200 years old.

be to avoid embarrassment of claims

There was nothing like Official con

rumors, but they were extremely effec-
