Articles of Historic Value.

Among the most interesting historical
articles In Mr.. Morgans collection are
several bricks and tablets bearing Chal-
dean, Assyrian and Babylonian inscrip-
tons. One OF those most recently ac-
quired contains several new historical
references Of the year 1000 y. G..
Among the historical articles now on
exhibition is a treaty made with Holland
by the new government of the United
States two years after the close of the
revolutionary war, which was the second
country to recognize our independence
1t is called a Treaty of amity and
commerce between their high might
nesses, the states general and the United
States of America
Beside 1t is the advertisement of lot
terry arranged by the Continental Con-
gress In 1873 to raise money to buy guns
and ammunition for the revolutionary
soldiers. There are altogether 42,317
prizes, the highest being $4,000, and
1858 blanks. The official proclamation
endeavors to excite the avarice of the
public by reiterating that the chances OF
drawing a prize are unusual, and that
AL patriotic citizens should take advan-

III is pity that every collector of rare
books. autographs and treasures of art
and antiquity cannot be so generous in
sharing his enjoyment with the public as
j. Pierpont Morgan. He IS the fortunate
owner of the largest, the most costly
and, from an artistic and educational
standpoint, the most important private
collection i'll the world. II has cost him
several millions OF dollars. and he intends
il ultimately for the public: and In the
meantime he keeps certain rooms at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the library
of Columbia University and other exhibit
ton places that are always open to
visitors filed with selections from his
collection, which are changed from time to
time. He Is equally considerable OF the
people of England and certain rooms in
the South kenSngton Museum are given
up entirely to objects loaned by him for
exhibition Similar loans are made to the
museums OF other countries, and thus
Mr.. Morgan confers a great benefit upon
the world at large; but there are private
collections of great value in New York,
Chicago, ST. Louis and other cities which
their owners selfishly keep for their own
qualification and the entertainment of
their friends without allowing the public
TO see them.

wrote large bold, irregular hand and
made many changes and interlineations in
his text. He used paper of folio size of a
dark blue color. with wide lines, and
as everybody ought to know, is a viola
ton OF one of the most sacred laws of
the topographic art. He made what a
printer would call very bad copy, and
evidently composed rapidly and put down
his thoughts as fast as he could do So
Hume, on the other hand, wrote a small
hand and used small sheets of white pa
per. His penmanship closely resembles
confirms a popular theory among the
literary world that large men usually
write fine hands and vice versa President
Taft, however, is All exception to the
rule He writes rather a large hand and
requires twice or three times as much
paper as Grover Cleveland to express the
same thought.

First Work Printed by Gutenberg.

There are other Bibles, each Of which
has peculiar interest for different Ia
sons, including two of the first that were
printed by Gutenberg. one on paper, one
on vellum. The most famous one pe-
longed to Cardinal Mazarin, protege of
Cardinal Richelieu and his successor as
prime minister of France. This is claim
ed to be the first book ever printed with
movable types. and was printed at A4ainz,
in 1862. Near by are other specimens
of early printing, including the Cologne
Chronicle of 1899, which gives a history
of Gutenberg and a description of the
new art which he had just invented.
But, a contradiction to the preten-
sions of the western worlds. Mr.. Morgan
shows copy of d Chinese book entitled
"Tzu Chi Tung Chen" or Mirror of
History" which was printed In Picking
with movable type in 1850, just 100 years
before Gutenberg set up his press.
