The famous library Of Ivan tie Ter.
rtble 10 now supposed to b still hid
den in some underground vault. which
the efforts Of generations have hither-
to failed to discover. 1t was Ivaa the
Terrible whose reputation a. . great
ruler has been obscured by the fas-
cination Of his extraordinary excesses
who established the printing press
In Russia.
There IL . wide field of conjecture
~ to what might not come to light in
the event Of this curious library one
day being discovered. Ivan the Terri
BILE was in close Communication with
all the rulers Of our hemisphere, from
London to Peking; one branch Of
knowledge 10 almost certain to be we'll
represented In this lost library, and
that 10 the scencs Of black magic. II
10 equally likely that new codicss Of
Holy Scripture may yet come to light.
for Ivan the Terrible undertook to
print the Scriptures In the vulgar
tongue. Only one thing 10 certain.
that such . library existed and has
never beea foand. nor 10 1t even known
to have Derished in any Of the nuner-
ous nres that devastated Moscow.
