TOO MANY NOVELS
Reading Most Of the New Stories 10
Waste Of Time.

1t would be a great deal better for
society, II the prevailing inquiry at a
public library should be. What is
your oldest book?" instead of "What
is your latest?' since the first ques-
ton is apt to bring forth the more
valuable suggestion. There are some
old books that are absurd and some
new ones that are invaluable, but
there are more empty and foolish
books among the new ones than
among the old, and consequently, more
risk is run in getting a new than in
getting an old book.
II greatly depends. Most OF the
new books are novels that IL Is n
waste of time. and worse, to read.
And these are the ones that are most
ly chosen. See the literary-inclined
young lady on the trolley car reading.

is some fussy flimsy novel that is
tangling up her thoughts in all sorts
OF incongruous and untidy human ex-
perience.
But novels are good things, one
says. The preachers read them; so do
the professors. the judges and other
powerful minds. Yes, they are good
things, but the sin OF the century is
too much OF the good thing.-Ohio

says the physician, while the real Of

which 1t has high hopes, but no en-

Professor Says Old Theory 10 Wrong

Not Fatal

Minneapolis.-D. ID. Mayne. princi-
pal OF Minnesota school OF agriculture,
announced the result of an experiment
which he believes has exploded the
old theory that oxygen was essential
to life and that death would result
from breathing carbon dioxide.
To demonstrate this theory, Prof.
Mayne confined a steer In a hermetic-
ally sealed stall and another in an
open stall. The first animal was shut
II from oxygen completely and at the
end OF several days was found to be
In as good condition as the other. The
experiment was repeated. the steers
exchanging stalls. The result was the
Same-both animals could live In the
Theoretically sealed stall without oxy-
gen and neither suffered poisoning
from carbon dioxide thrown out OF
their lungs
The school ventllating system is
asserted Prof. Mayne.

942 souls at the close of 1908, fall
ing off Of 4.419 in one year. Emigra-

the country. In March, 1908, more
than 10000 persons left the German
capital for other countries, most of
them going to America.
