FREE BOOKS FOR WIS. READERS

Forty thousand books free to Wis
consin readers. There will be no lack
of good live reading matter to fill in
the long winter evenings on the farms
or in the villages of Wisconsin this
winter if one may Judge by the activ-
tiles of the Travelling Library De-
partment of the Wisconsin Free Lii
brary Commission at Madison.
Within the past three months more
than 10000 volumes have been ship
ed to eager readers living in all parts
of the state. More than seven hun
dred communities received collections
of books-books of all kinds, for old
and young, popular books of fiction.
books of history, travel, biography,
as well as practical books on farming
or business. In some communities
these collections are placed in the vii
lage postofice, the barber-shop, the
bank, a store, or in rural school or
cheesefactory, wherever the people
may have access to them. Such col
lections are loaned without charge
providing the community will pay the
freight and return them at the end
of six months.
More than $500 individuals have
received books by parcel post since
the first of October. These borrowers
have simply written a letter asking
for certain books and the books have
been sent by prepaid parcel post for
a three-weeks' loan, at the end of
which time the borrowers return the
books, paying return postage. This
opportunity to borrow books free OF
charge is open to all citizens of Wis
consin, by addressing the Travelling
Library Department at Madison.

This Monster Was Batter.

The curators of the Launceston and
Tascanian museums have presented to
the Royal Society of Tasmania the pre-
liminary account of nearly complete
skeleton of a gigantic extinct monster,
recently discovered in the pleistocene
beds of Tasmania.
The animal was as large as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows clearly that it was a
rhinoceros-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and In the crushing and subsequent
repair of the bones of the nose and
snout.

Embroidery Ancient Art.

The art of embroidery has been
practiced from time immemorial-it is
said to be as old as the art of dress
ing. The mummy clothes of ancient
Egypt show the earliest extant en-
broidery and the 'pome-granates Of
blue and purple and scarlet" Of the
book of Exodus were of embroidery.
The art reached its height in the
early middle ages. In Greece and
Rome laws were made to moderate its
use, but without success. The most
distinguished artists did not count 1t
condescension to make the designs
from which the highest ladies In the
land executed their embroideries. No
workers were more skilled In the art
than the English.
