THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
POPULAR BOOK ABOUT PUBLIC
LIBRARIES-NEW ACCESSIONS.

The list of new books added to the
library contains one entitled The
American Public Library that It is
| hoped will be widely read by library
users who are not librarians. Its au-
| thor. DIR. Arthur E. Bostwick. librarian
OF the st. Louis Public Library. has
written a work almost wholly devoid
of technical terms. and at the same
time one that is definite i'm statement
and entertaining in style. The aims
and tendencies and the general develop.
ment of the public library In this coun.
try are clearly set forth in this work.
AS the point of view of the author is
essentially that of the larger munich
pal library rather than that of the
small rural library, the work is ad-
mirably adapted to give the users OF
the Washington Public Library a
| proper conception of its work, present
ideals and methods, as we'll as the lines
! of activity which will ultimately be
developed here. Numerous Illustrations
of branch libraries. of children's read
! ing rooms. Of story hours. of roof
reading rooms, ETC.. add to the inter-
est OF the work.
| read not only by the members of the
! library's own staff and by workers in
other local libraries, but also by gen.
| eral readers and those interested in
the library as a factor in education.
| the Public Library has purchased a
considerable number of copies and
stands ready to buy more to meet de-
mands.

To OBSERVE
ITS CENTENNIAL
Anniversary of Independence to Be
Celebrated with Exposition
at PuebIa

MEXICO, March 11.-Consul General
Arnold Shanklin of Mexico City has
prepared the following information in
regard to the centennial exposition in
Mexico:
Mexico is arranging to celebrate the
centennial of her independence; the To-
cation of the buildings and the objec-
tive point will be at Puebla, a few
hours railroad ride out of Mexico City.
A national committee has been formed
with Jose Casarin as secretary, whose
office is in Mexico City. A great deal
of enthusiasm has been shown and the
national committee estimates that
$25O0 gold will be raised in Mexico
City alone. The committees are busy
arranging for caring for the large
crowd which Is expected to arrive here,
and they have posted bills on the
streets asking that residents who are
willing to rent rooms during the expo
.sition period to advise the committee.
While there are many commodious ho-
tells here the committee believes the
crowd will be far greater than the no.
tells can accommodate.
1.-THE exposition will be held during
the months of September, October, No
vember and December, 1910, and while
it was originally planned that 1t should
be an interrepublic of Mexico exposi-
ton, showing products grown or man.
ufactured in Mexico, the demand from
manufacturers elsewhere has been so
great that I am advised that those in
charge of the exposition will grant
some space to those desiring it"

OVERCOME DIFFICULTY
OF X-RAY PHOTOGRAPHY
With Use of New Screen Heart Beat
Can Be Impressed
on Plate

LONDON, March 1.-THE greatest
difficulty of X-ray photography-the
long exposure-has been overcome, and
by the use of a new screen, which re-
duces the ordinary exposures to one
twentieth of what would otherwise be
necessary, medical men will be able to
realize what has always been their am
bition-the X-ray snapshot.
The chief difficulty in photographic
work has always been that during a
long exposure the patient is apt to
move, especially If in a painful posi-
ton, while in many cases the mere
act of breathing was sufficient to
make the photographs indistinct.
The new invention, known as the
sunic screen, consists of thin sheet
of cardboard of the same size as the
Photographic plate, with which it is
placed in contact during the exposure.
The result is that instead of giving,
say, a minutes exposure, three sec
onds is sufficient, while with the pow
erful modern X-ray apparatus now Of
ten used snapshot exposures are cas-
lily obtainable. Thus photograph of
the heart during q small part of its
beat can be obtained.

PRIEST, IN ALTAR,
POISONED BY ACID
Worshipers In VilIafranca Church
Quake with Terror as Father
Falls Victim to Fanatic

TURIN, March 11.-An attempt to
kill a priest with poison has been made
at Villafranca, near Verona.
Don Aleardo Rossignati, who was
celebrating mass, drank from the cup
of consecrated wine, and Immediately
felt a terrible burning in his mouth
and fell unconscious on the altar steps,
to the terror of the worshipers. The
wine, it was afterward found, had
been poisoned with sulphuric acid. 1t
was discovered too, that the aims
boxes of the church had been tempered
with, but this, it appears, was only
to give the police a false clew.
