CARE OF OLD MANUSCRIPTS
Valuable Relics Are Now Preserved az
Might Be the Finest Works
Of Art.

There are not fifty persons in the
United States who are skilled In the
preservation and repairing of old
manuscripts. One Of them, says the
University Of Wisconsin Bulletin, may
be found working on the third floor
of the Wisconsin historical library
building at Madison, one Of the six or
institutions in the country that
carry on such work scientifically.
About a generation or two ago a
priest in the Vatican library at Rome
originated and developed the C
now in use in the taking care Of old
papers. Until last year there was none
of this work which was high grade
and scientific done in this country
west of the Alleghanies. All work that
the university had done was sent to
Massachusetts. Last July the process
was introduced to the state historical
library.
The first thing done in the process
of preserving the letters is to place
them between wet newspapers under
a weight and leave them for fveto or six
hours. This removes the creases and
the dirt. Then they are put between
%woodpulp boards and left "a hours and
then between blotters to complete the
drying process. The next stepsis to
repair the paper. The paper ofssome
of these letters is so old when received
that it falls to pieces If struck. This
is strengthened by a layer Of erepo-
line, a transparent CLOTH; on both sides
Of the piece Of paper; Other letters
need mending along the edges with
parchment paper. TO cover holes a
piece Of paper is glued ovsr the edges
and is left larger than the hole until
dry. 1t is then cut down to the proper
size and the edges are s~andpapered
until smooth. After all such repairs
are made the letters E mounted on
large white sheets and prepared for
binding.

cago's % miles of lake front during

along some Of the beaches powerful

FEAR FOR HALIBUT YIELD
important Northern Pacific Fishery Is
Believed to Be in Danger Of
Extinction.

Halibut fisheries In British Columbia
r reported in danger of depletion,
the Toronto Globe states. The yield Is
now second only to that of the salmon
in the coast fisheries. During 1914 the
quantity landed at Canadian ports
was over 64,OO0,OO0 pounds, and it is
expected that the record for the last
year will be slightly greater. These
years show a marked increase over the
total of 100000 pounds in 1918. The
advance Is said to be due mainly to the
adoption of more effective methods of
fishing and to the better profits OBJ
tanned through facilities for preserv-
ing, shipping and marketing. Cold
storage and refrigerator cars make 1t
possible to place the catch of the
northern Pacific fresh on the markets
Of California and the cities Of the East
in Canada and the United States.
More information is necessary re-
garding the special circumstances of
the Pacific coast before effective can
Of protection can be devised. The hair
seal is suspected of being among the
~destroyers. A government bounty for
destruction, established chiefly as a
means of protecting the salmon, has
led to the destruction Of many seals.
It is claimed that only about one in
five shot in the water is recovered to
make a claim for the bounty. Sea
lions are also destructive. AS they
herd on known islands during their
breeding season systematic means can
keep them in check. Methods of fish
ing May some day need regulation.
Although a bottom hsh, and keeping
in comparatively deep water, the hall
but comes to the shadows to spawn.
The government.is alive to the impor-
lance Of the industry, and signs Of
serious depletion should prompt i'm
mediate efforts toward protective
measures.
