FOR THE EYES OF POSTERlTY
Satisfactory Way Said to Have Been Found 10 Preserve Newspapers
 for Indefinite Period.

How to SO pickle newspapers that they can be preserved indefinitely In the public libraries is problem which has apparently been solved, according to the American Paper and Pulp asso- ciatlpn.
 Eight years of experimenting, par tlclpaled in by three big New York newspapers at a cost of 5000 q year each. under the supervision of the New York public library, has taught librarians how to preserve for poster Ity newspaper flies The solution seems simple. being the mounting of each newspaper sheet between two sheets of thin Japanese tissue. shut ting The air from the original sheets, reducing lts legihllity but slightly. and strengthening the page Bound vol umes of the mounted pages are now iu constant daily use. and are free from the wear and tear which de- struyed the uHtreated newspapers.
 The New York experiments have been so successful that q big Western newspaper has sent representatives to New York to study and adopt the practice for use there.
 The first investigation was made IT Boston. and the library there tried tC persuade the newspapers to prlnt library editions on an extra paper but the expense was too great. Thi' is now done by London paper, anC was tried by Brooklyn paper, but th' cost was prohIhitive.
 In the New York experiments sill was first used. but the Japanese tis sue was found the best for the pur pose, as it dramatically sealed th' newspaper pages from the air.

PIANIST DEL|GHTS' | ARGE AUDIENCE.
Rachmaninoff Greeted By Great Throng Despite
 Rainy Evening
Rachmaninoff, Rus

Sergei Rachmaninoff, Russian pianist. played to a large Birming- ham audience Tuesday evening in the Masonic temple auditorium under the auspices of the Mrs. Richard F. John son and Mrs. Orline A. Shipman man. agement. .-
 Mir. Rachmaninoffs program was brief, we'll proportioned and un- usually effective. With few minor changes, such as being a bit short ened, it followed closely the pro- gram of his previous tour. As a composer he offered. his Seranade in stead of the familiar Prelude.
 The Prelude he, recited as an en- core-intended as final encore-but Birmingham tclung to him with all the tenacity> of it's grateful heart and the concluding encore was Chopin's Minute Waltz.
 The Masonic temple audience, an unusually large one, received with discriminate enthusiasm every mum Der which the pianist offered, seem ing to especially enjoy the things most dear to Rachmaninoff. Then the chords of his Prelude were struck his listeners vented their en- thusiasm with sincere and uni- versal applause.
 The pianist, if a whit different from his last tour, played bit more kindly and with nuance more felling and mellowness. The power was still there in all its beauty.
 His audience seemed transported with Mendelsshon's Variations Serie- uses, and aplauded especially the Chopin Nocturne, the pianist's sera- made, the Bizet- t-Rachmaninoff Minuet and the fantastic Hopak of Nous sorgsky- y-Rachmaninoff.
