NEW YORK, April 22.-Heavy
and persistent selling pressure was
again highly effective during today's

Indians Of Mexico are a quiet, some
what melancholy people. Even on
holidays. of which there are 131 on
the Mexican calendar. they move
silently among the crowds. the men
either barefooted or wearing woven

their striped sarapes, and the women
with their dingy blue rebosas wrap

are miniature replicas OF their

rare book, said to be bound in the
skin Of Moorish chieftain, and once
to have been the property of Christie
pher Columbus as the latest and most
valuable addition to the great collec-
tion of Notre Dame University's IL
brary. This priceless old book is the
gift Of Senior Sebastian Carol Bra
ganza de la Carrolla of Matagorda
Bay. Tex.
The strange volume, which was
printed in Strassburg in 1903, half a
century after the first Bible was

The work is treatise by John Picus
on astrology. a subject in which the
great discoverer was deeply interest
ed. 1t is said by scholars at Notre
Dame to be a strange mixture o;
scholastic philosophy and peripatetic
philosophy. One hundred and seven
names Of authors cited in the work
are written in ink, apparently by Col.
umbus's own hand. on the last pages
of the book. For years this rare work
was in the cathedral library Of Seville
Spain. From there it was taken by
the monks to Peru. and in that coun.
try. during period Of revolution, fell
into the hands of Senior Carolla.
Although more than four centuries
old. the work, which was printed BY
John Argentinus, is in a remarkable
state Of preservation. 1t is printed
in Latin on heavy white paper. The
borders are Illuminated by hand and
the illuminations are as bright and
beautiful today as the day they were
made. The volume is quarto and is
strengthened with metal and leather
clasps.
Human skin as a binding for books
seems to indicate barbarous condi-
ton of society and is repugnant to
modern persons, but Carlisle tells us
that the second edition OF Rousseau's
works was bound in the skins of the
young nobility and the tops of the
period Of the French revolution. Lat
err instances of human skin being used
for binding are not uncommon.
Senior Sebastian Carol Braganza de
