Library Notes

(From the librarians report for No.
vember.)
The library has been open rs days
druing the month. 1t was closed all
day Thanksgiving day, November %.
1t was open, for reading only, three
Sunday afternoons, from to 5 p. M,
the members of the library board kind
ly offering their services.
This month again shows decided in
craese in both circulation and reference
room attendance. This month the cir
culation was 2606, an increase of 1876
over that of last month, and of 52S over
the circulation for November of last
year. The largest daily circulation was
ISL; the average daily circulation was
l04. Of the total circulation S94 W as
from the children's department.
The estimated reference and reading
attendance was 1923 against Til for the
corresponding month of last year. The
three Sunday afternoons OH which the
library has been kept open IS were in
attendance. The last three weeks OF
the month we have attempted to keep
record of the children who have come
in to sit and look at the picture bovks
and to read. The number, sl4, was a
surprise to those who are in the library
all of the time.
One hundred and fifteen books have

In discussing the development of the
modern loom from the hand loom oi
early date, tho writer states that the
first indication Of the coming change In
the broad-weaving trade was In 1851.
when Joseph Mason patented a machine
uhich he described as IAN engine. by
tho help Of which a weaver may per-
forme the whole work OF weaving such
stuffs as the great weaving trade OF
Norwich doth now depend on. without
the help of n draugh-boy. which engine
hath been tryed and found out to be OF
great use to saic weaving trade.
A machine invented by Joseph Marie
Jacquard. and known in England as the
"Jackard' machine, which substituted
for the weaver's tie-up n band Of per-
forated paper. was first applied to the
draw loom In l725. and in 172s a chain of
cylinder added. Its most striking ad
vantage Is the fact that Il makes pos
sible a frequent change OF design, Il
being only necessary to take down one
Get of cards and substitute another to
change the pattern.
At frst employed alone for weaving
elaborate designs in the silk trade. II
has since come to be universally used In
all kinds OF plain and ornamental tex
tiles whether woven or hand or power

tions OF the loom except throwing the

Changes In Prospect.
In reviewing the future promise OF
development in weaving. the author
SAYS that the hand shuttle. for work
none too wide for 1t. and the perforated
comber board will be retained. that
some arrangement similar to that In
the circular loom will be effected. ann
that the Jacquard machine will ne
superseded by an ELECTROMAGNETIC ar

improvements. ne feels that the master
weaver OF the future will not only pro-
duce webs as exquisite as those or the
hest weavers OF the past, but will carry
the art forward to a higher degree OF
perfection than has vet been attained.

National Museum Exhibit Teaches Lesson In Develop
ment of Textile Industry-Luther Hooper Explains
Prehistoric Methods of Weaving. .

The spindle and the loom. the one for
twisting the fbcr into thread. and the
other for weaving. the thread into cloth,
are prehistoric and almost universal.
says Luther Hooper. who writes for the
Smithsonian Institution historical
paper on weaving. 80
These tools. he says. and the methods
Of using them. have never been sub

genious craftsmen of the primitive
tribes OF today. 1t is not only In ele-
mentary forms Of weaving that this
similarity is found: the essential prin-
ciplee Of the most modern spinning and
weaving machinery are Identical with
those used In the most ancient times
and the complicated textile machinery
OF today Is a natural development from
time.
Mr.. Hooper demonstrates the princi-
pies OF the primitive loom and spindle.
