Buehanan's Public Life.

One hundred years ago James Buch-
anan, who in later life became Presi-
dent of the United States, was elected
a member OF the house OF representa-
tives in the Pennsylvania legislature.
This marked the beginning OF Mr..
Buchanan's public career. At the time
he was affiliated with the Federalist
party. He disapproved of the war with
England, but did not shirk the duties
OF an American citizen when the war
became fact and was himself one of
the first volunteers to march to the de-
Tense OF Baltimore. Mr. Buchanan
retired from the legislature at the
end OF his second term with a deter
mination to abandon political life. and
devote himself exclusively to the prac-
tice of law. A few years later, how
ever he was induced TO accept cleo
ton to congress aud soon became o
hGlr of national prominence.

The Latest Statistics of the Unlver-

The last report of the Lemberg Uni

the Polish Monthly Ksiazka. 1t re-
cords an increase of 5,505 titles in the

tai of 100000 volumes. OF these, 1874
volumes came as gifts from the Call
clan publishers, 1883 volumes from
institutions and government publica-
tons and 1878 from individuals or
private institutions. In 1918 $685.
readers used 220,317 volumes in the

called for 1910 volumes for outside
reading. making total of 1882 read
ers and 237,1S3 volumes. The in
crease In circulation was 1,455, thanks
to easier access to the improved card

the books Of the confiscated cloisters
OF Galicia In 1S4S it was almost COM

FoREsAw WARFARE IN AIR
Horace wsIpoIe Recognized the Value
Of the Balloon, While u Was
In Its Infancy.

A remarkable prediction OF the parl
that aerial machines would one day
play in warfare was made by Horace
walpole--described by Lord Macar
iay as the best letter writer in the
English language-in a letter written
from his famous Gothic castle
Strawberry Hill. to the countess OF
Upper Ossory on October %. 1884.
Not only did Walpole forecast the
use OF airships in war, but he also
suggested the century in which such
warfare would be waged. He wrote:
balloons is a subject did not in
tend to tap II they can be improved
into anything more than Brobding'
nag kites, II must be In a century or
two after shall be laid low. A cen
fury in my acceptation. means hun.
dred years hence. After one
ceases to be, all duration is of the
same length; and everything that one
guesses will happen after oneself is
no more is equally vision"
Walpole goes on to speak of the
"airy vehicles" with which the atmos-
phere may be peopled hereafter, and
says he does not care to discuss the
question.
"How much more expeditiously the
East, West or South will be ravaged
and butchered than they have been by
the old-fashioned clumsy method of
navigation"
81 SMILE" says Walpole. eat the
alteration paid to these aerial Quix-
otes. =. I observe that no I'M
provements OF science or knowledge
makes the world jot wiser"
The first successful ascents in a
balloon had been made by Montgolfier
