LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
Editor Post:

Editor Post:
The writer wishes to enter a
protest against the practice
now in vogue among book
borrowers. Let it Toe distinctly
understood, though, that he
would not have the door closed
against those who borrow books
with an understanding Of the
obligation under which they
place themselves. The fact is,
the writer sometimes borrows
books himself, but always with
the implied agreement to take
special care of them, and to
make returns before the lender
gets out Of patience The us
ual fault with the borrower is
that he keeps books indefinite
ly, unless reminded that returns
are expected But giving re-
minders of this nature is not Il
pleasant task, The average
borrower of books does not feel
-if his actions signify that
he is morally and legally bound
to take care of them and to
make returns within reason
able time. The writer knows
of books that were loaned
twenty years ago, and are still
out. Of course, no returns viii
over hc made of such ou,-of-date
borrowings, for twenty years
"peacoable possession vests
the borrower with the right of
ownership Che Thinks
There should be a clear under
standing on the part of the Dor
rover as to the care and return
of books. Such understanding
would become an agreement on
his part. and any violation of
this agreement should be held

RUSSIANS DISCOVER
ANOTHER CONTINENT
Said To Be About Size OF Greenland
Scientists Say Finding OF New Land
Most important In Century.

Washington, Oct. -12.-Members of
the National Geographic society said
here today that the reported Russian
dicoVery of a continent 500 miles
Lorth of Asia, if true, would be the
last great discovery of land. They
pronounced it the most important dis
coVery within the arctic cirle in the
last century.
The report from st. Micheals, Alas
ka, that Commander Whisky, in
command OF the Russian Government
steamers Taimyr and Waygatch, had
arrived there and announced the dis
covery of a body of land as large as
Greenland, extending beyond latitude
II north and longitude 102 east, came
as a distinct surprise to the members
OF the society. 1t was known that
the Russian goVernmentzfo for years had
pursued a survey in the Siberian
ocean, but no word had reached them
OF regular exploring expendition into
the frozen north. The expanse north
of Canada, Alaska and Siberia has
long been regarded as an inviting
FIELD for Investigation, however, and
the Canadian government sent With
jalmar Stefasson into the area last
summer on a three-year expedition.
Major-General A. w. Greeley, arc
tic explorer and scientists, thinks some
error must have been made in de-
seribing the location of the newly
found continent, though he was not
Inclined to doubt that an important
! discovery had been made.
The general said today that on De-
cember Is, 1894, the Fran, in which
DR.. Nansen drifted in the arctic re-
gions, vas in latitude $3.50, longitude
1O4, just a little north of where the
southern extremity is said to be.
DR.. Nansen's party saw no land and
so confident was he that none existed
in the vicinity of his vessel that he
has already said that the explored
portion of arctic ocean is a deep basin.
