PASSION THAT MAKES THIEVES
Emerson's Declaration Concerning
Book Collectors Would Seem to
Have Been Amply justified.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once declared
that book-collectors were all thieves.
1.-THE passion of classification masters
the mind and makes rogues of honest
men," The case of professor of the
ology in the University of Berlin, who
had Just been convicted of stealing
books from the university, reminds q
writer in the Boston Transcript of En-
erson's saying and of the following in,
cidents:
"W. s. Shaw, the founder Of the Bos-
ton Athenaeum,i used to steal from the
private libraries of his friends any
books he wanted to make his darling
Athenaeum complete. Collectors Of
shells steal 'orangias' from the Grim
nells' mantelp piece and Mrs. Coffin's
house at Siasconset. Mellish Moore
told me that the books stolen from the
Boston Athenaeum are mostly from
the theological department, so that
they are forced to keep those locked
up. But the books most often taken
are patent reports, by lawyers" Pro-
fessional and collecting morals must
have improved since Emerson wrote
those words in his Journal in the fifties.;
he goes on and adds: "But even in
comparatively late days have seen
some queer instances Of collecting zeal
AS, for example, this: A couple Of
respectable Boston business men, one
Of whom collected weapons, visited
very swell house in Rhode Island once
in the absence of the family; they
were admitted by the aged caretaker;
while in the drawing-room, one Of
these reputable gentlemen engaged the
old custodian in conversation while the
other slipped under his coat the au-
thentic tomahawk Of a noted Indian
chief-and got away with 1t. And the
queerest part Of the matter was that
the collector used to boast of the
achievement when exhibiting the torna-
hawk as an item of his treasures"

This arrangement was not designed to
exclude any one, as all those entitled
to admission were gladly granted in

Pay Their Own Way.
The financial side Of this work is in
teresting. The policy has always been
at these affairs to furnish amuse-
ment at cost, but in spite Of the
small admission charge the committee
has been able. to accumulate a bal
ance of more than 81, 100 as result of
the first years effort. In the summer
Of 1916 the season ticket cost 81 per
couple. It was good for two admis-
sions for each of the twelve parties,
making the cost per person about four
cents per party. The 1917 summer
ticket was rs cents a person, making
the cost about six cents per party. The
season ticket for the fall series was 81
per couple, being twelve cents per
person per party. The midwinter SER
les season ticket was 81 per couple,
making the cost of each party twelve
and half cents per person. The pur-
chase of season tickets was recon-
mended. Single admissions were new
er more than Is cents per person at
any time. No charge was made for
the children under 16 years of age,
provided they accompanied their par
ents or some older person. There
never have been any salarfed work
'ers. There has been no financial OBJ
legation on any workers or patron
esses at these affairs. No money-get-
ting schemes are tolerated at any OF
these gatherings, as it is the idea cf
the promoters that the Catholic peo-
pie should assemble and become bet
ter acquainted. Therefore, they are pes
tered or annoyed by ticket sellers or
solicitors for any church or charity
purpose, no matter how worthy that
cause might be. Announcements are
welcomed, however, of other Catholic
gatherings, which promotes sociability
and friendship, but ticket selling for
these affairs is not allowed at the
Catholic Federation socials.

Bible e. Inches Hiuh.

A bible five feet two inches high and
three feet six inches across has been
built at the oxford university war
house in Amer court, London. In the
building it was found necessary to
erect wooden staging from the cross
beam of which depended an iron chain
and pulley block and by this means the
position of the book was changed as
occasion required. Without this me-
chanical arrangement the services of
six men would have been required to
manipulate the volume. The width of
the book is ten inches, and when the
book Is opened it measures seven feet,
ten inches across. The binding is of
red levant morocco, which absorbed a
dozen large goat skins. The front
cover contains the arms of the eoun-
ties of England and Scotland in blue
morocco leather, decorated in gold
and surrounding the royal arms inlaid
In heraldic colors. On the back the
arms of the Welsh counties are de-
picted in manner similar to those on
the front.

BATTLE OFF FRENCH COAST
First Advices Said Six Undersea Graft
Sent Down-Daniels Discovers Mis-
take After Country Electrified BY
brilliant Achievement"

Washington.-A typographical error
IN cablegram reporting a submarine
attack on a convoy of merchant ships
off the coast of France on September
5 led Secretary Daniels to announce
that six submarines probably had been
sunk in the battle, when in reality
the probabilities are only one was de-
stroyed.
The mistake was not discovered I'm.
Ill several hours after the country had
been electrified by the report of a
wholesale sinking of German U-boats.
Secretary Daniels then issued the
following statement:
MY attention has Just been called
to a serious error made in TRANSCRIPT
ing the report of the attack made on
the =Westwego and other vessels. l
gave the report to the press exactly
as it was presented to me, stating
that two of the steamers attacked
were sunk and probably all of the
submarines were lost The cable
gram, | now find. stated that one of
the submarines was probably lost"
The true version, it appears, is that
the merchant ships. of which the
Westwego was one, were attacked by
submarines in force off the coast of
France on September 5, and that in
the fight of the merchant ships were
lost and probably one of the subma-
rines was sunk. The ships were con-
voyed, presumably, by American de-
stroyers or other warships.
Some statement probably will be
made later to show where the typo
graphical error was made which led
the Navy Department to announce the
probable loss of six submarines.
The uncorrected dispatch as given
out was as follows:
1.-THE Navy Department has received
report from Paris which states that
the steamer Westwego reports on Sep
TENDER s that while cruising with sew
eral other ships, was attacked by a
massed force of six submarines off the
coast of France on September 5. The
result of this attack being that two of
the steamers attacked were sunk and
probably all of the submarines we're
lost"

of the Julian or Roman, three coun-

WITHIN Mine FIELD
British SeapIane Observer Tells
of Day of Terror.
Forced by Dead" Engine to Descend,
He and His Pilot Ward Off Dead
ly Floating Machines With
Their Bare Hands.

A British seaplane observer de-
scribes an adventure that befell him,
during flight over the North sea.
Suddenly, when the plane had travelled
through fog and haze to u height of
$500 feet above the water, the en-
CINE stopped dead. The observer and
his pilot We're compelled to descend
quickly, and when their plane struck
the water they had no idea where they
were. Through calculations they final
~ decided that they must be at least
30 miles from the shores of England.
What was worse, it was gradually
borne in upon them that they were
extensive mine field.
They could not signal, for their wire
less apparatus was out of commission.
The heat was terrible and the sen was
dead calm. At least dozen times as
the day wore on the men heard the
roar of engines, but the sound always
reeeded into the distance again, and
there seemed to be no hope of rescue.
Finally the wind rose and shifted the
haze little, and high up in the north
west they saw dropping toward them
a birdiike machine. Nearer and near
er it came, and presently it dropped
on the water beside them. 1t was a
British seaplane from their own base.
The pilot of the rescue machine
steered within 20 yards of them, and
his observer heayed overheard Il huge
vacuum flask. Then, without stopping
the engine. they droned along the sur
face and tilted into the air again.
When the men turned to the flask they
found that it had fioated out of reach
into the midst of school of jellytish.
Then the long, hungry, impatient
wait began again. The hours seemed
to drag more heavily than before. As
the tide went down dark spheroidal
objects began to bob up by twos to
the surface. Through their glasses the
men could see scores more of them in
the distance They were deadly con-
tact mines The nearest pair were
only half a cables length away. and
the seaplane was drifting toward them
on the ebbing tide.
During the next four hours the
death traps gave the men terribly
anxious time, for there were hundreds
of them. and 1t was impossible as the
plane drifted along to avoid Them
Once or twice they actually had to
ward off the mines with their bare
hands to keep them from knocking
against the machine.
Shortly after six o'clock in the eve
ming the men-burned almost black by
the sun, with parched throats and
swollen tongues-heard the sound of
a propeller chugging away at no very
great distance. The throbbing grew
louder. and at intervals the observer
fired three pistol shots. Then out of
the haze plowed a trim little motor
launch She crept alongside, lowered
her dinghy and took the men off. Then
she made fast line to the seaplane
and took 1t In tow. 1t was long after
midnight when the launch reached the
English shore. Wide World Maya
