Moroan,a Valuable Library.


Experts attached to the American
Art association have completed their
nine months task Of appraising the
Morgan library, and have submitted
their report to the comptroller's office.
No official figures have been made
public, but 1t is known that the value
of the rare books, manuscripts and en-
cravings has been placed at about ST.
100000. OF this amount the books rep
resent about 100000.
The Morgan library Is housed in the
marble building built for it at 80
East Thirty-sixth street by the late j.
Pierpont Morgan, New York CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says. The library is especially rich
in the collection of Bibles, which ex-
tend back through the era of printing
to the manuscript Bibles that preceded
it. Especially noticeable, also, are
the Chaucer, Shakespeare and Burns
collections. Among the manuscripts
in the Morgan collection which have
greatly increased in value are the
Dickens manuscripts, including that
Of "A Christmas Carol" which ex-
perts believe now would bring about
$685. to 100000. There also is the
manuscript of Thackeray's vanity

daughter. The manuscripts Of all the
more important Burns poems are IN
the collection.

ORIGIN OF THE TANKER
Thirty Years Ago tho First Iron OIL
Carrier Was Built by
Prussian.

About 1880 Wilhelm Riedemann, a
Prussian shipowner, withdrew from
the East Indian and American trade
for use in transporting petroleum two
sailing vessels which had amidships
two iron tanks of the same depth as
the distance between deck and keel,
the Wall Street Journal states. Orig
inally these tanks contained drinking
water for the sailors, but it was found
out that the water could not be kept
free of iron rust and this use was
abandon d. Reidemann utilized these
tanks as petroleum containers and
found that his transportation eK-
penses were reduced four marks a
barrel in this way.
Continuing the experiment on a
larger scale, Riedemann transformed
the Andromeda, a 5000 ton vessel,
into a petroleum carrier by installing
on, each of her three decks twenty
four iron tanks connected with pipe
lines. The big disadvantage on this
arrangement was that in the event Of
repairs being made on the ship, which
was of wood, the tanks had to be re-
moved at great expense and risk Of
damage. Riedemann finally concluded
that the ideal tanker must be of iron
and the entire hull Of the vessel used
as container. Accordingly he
planned ship with the engine aft,
protected by water-filled cofferdam.
and the remaining space separated by
bulkheads into eight compartments.
Riedemann tried in vain to get a
German shipbuilding firm to construct
q vessel after his design. He went to
England and finally persuaded New
castle concern to undertake it. The
result was the first modern tanker,
the Glueckauf, which was launched in
1885.
The arrival of the Glueckauf in New
York in August Of the same year Gre
ated CONSERVATION among petroleum
shippers. An indignation meeting was
held, and 1t was proposed to petition
congress to prohibit the expectation
of petroleum in bulk on the ground
that the oil gases would endanger the
lives of all on board the tanker A
committee was appointed to request
the Standard Oil company to refuse
petroleum to the Glueckauf.
But progress triumphed as usual.
Today there are 400 vessels Of sub
stantially the Glueckauf type trans
porting petroleum and So more are In
course of construction in American
shipyards.

Value Of Flower Shows.

Preparations are already under way
for flower shows, and it is pertinent
to ask, What Is the permanent value
to those who attend?" Mere attrac-
tions will not permanently endure
with any considerable measure of sue
cess. They must educate as well. In
order to interest you must instruct.
All love best what they know most
about. The more one is instructed in
horticulture the greater will be his
appreciation OF plants and flowers.
Every exhibit should be a bureau of
information regarding fundamental
knowledge. Every attendant should
be mine OF information regarding
details. a feast for the eyes will not
alone attract the best attendance, but

Have a Garden.

Begin now to think OF that little
garden In the back yard, everybody
who has back yard. Such a modest
enterprise has much to do to restore
the harmony of life. II you don't get
radish, a tomato, a bean or a mess or
peas, you will get something greater
pure air, sunshine, exercise and COM
partnership with nature, which are a
richer crop than all the truck in the
garden. 1t is a great thing to watch
things grow. They make man
grow, too; add health and
strength to every part of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her
victuals. Tending little garden
makes good citizen out of a man;
gives him better thoughts; makes him
kindlier to his neighbors, and gives a
gentler accent to his voice. And then,
II he should raise anything in the gar
den, how happy he is to gather 1t and
take it into the kitchen and lay it ON
the table, saying to his wife: These
are some of our own raising; amt
they fine?" That's life grander than
