Eorliu, Nov. S tP, - Germany easily holds fh" book-producing record Every 2o minutes day and night, book rolls off tine presses in the Fatherand, but it is csti- mated that some 1o.uoD of the an- nuaD harvest Of volumes remain un- cut a0I unread, Their destiny is 10 mouldrr away on top shelves Of university libraries.
 Tho great flood Of books is caused hy 'ho compulsory publication or dissertations written by aspirants for doctorI honors. d centuries old custom which survives 10 the pres eut day X halt was called during the imitation period, when typed manuscript served the purpose; but sInco 19g5 dissertations in book form were reinstated "by au- thoriiy,"
 Every year from G.ooo to 1o,ooo learned theses arc printel-somc of them yoritabIc monuments of p1InsrakinS research - that are doomed to oblivion from the time they leave the presses. The state insists tha. of every dissc rta1ion go0 copies be printed for distribu- tion 10 all universities and colleges. They arc carefully registered in q catalos which this year was q book Of over 1000 pages, but their only use is that they can be borrowed" by budding savants on the popular principle that two old books make q new one.'
 One condition for taking q doc tors degree is that each disserta- tlon shall develop some new idea or work out an original problem. Candidates for the degree are but human, so they often turn for in- spiration 10 th" works of those who came before them. Many Of their subjects are weird and abstruse. One deals with Dog Breeding and Canine Diseases in the Literature of the Classics.' Another discourses lcarnodly on "The reign Of Prince Neheri, according to the graffiti in the Alabastcr Quarries of Hatumb in Middle Egypt" A third delves deeply into The Formation Of Sui fixes in the Bantu languages of South Africa"
 The cost of printing these trea- tises runs from s50 10 $25O each, Il considerable sum for the average German student It is generally ad- mitted that much of the money paid every year for the printing of these dissertations is thrown away; but academic tradition has so far defied all attempts to break up the system.
