MADE OVER FOR BOOKLOVERS New York Has Substitute for 8al>on, Where l iterature and 8oft Drinks Are Sold. ? > A new I den In the way of a substi tute for the saloon Is to be tried out In tlie Booklovers* tavern, recently opened In New York, the J'bdndelphlo Inquirer states. This Is simply a- plac? with the familiar bar and brass rail, where soft drinks and literature are to be dispensed together. 'Puis the men tal exhilaration to be derived from the latest novel will saVlsfy those ac customed to the cocktail and give gin ger ale or Ico cream soda a lllllp It has not hitherto had. The Booklovers' tavern may draw book purchasers, though Its superiority to the ordinary bookshop is not ap parent. Hut can It be expected that thirsts will be assuaged ip this way? And will yose Who seek Inebriation between covers be able to pay the price? A Kipling highball or a Wells llzz at $1.75 Is considerably more than the purchasers of alcoholic beverages have been charged under wartime prohibition. It Is obvious, too, that the kind of literature dispensed over the bar will have to be very carefully guarded. Many of our poets were a roistering lot, who did not hesitate to celebrate the charms of the Demon Hum. Aviators' Qualification#. In England airmen were apt to be nrdent hunters of the fox and to have what horsemen call "hands"?a quality which as aviators enabled them to know Instinctively, as It were, what an airplane was going to do before It did it. And, what will be shocking to some folk, to keep the aviator In best condition for his work and for enduring Its terrible stresses, he seem ed, according to these authorities, to need "a really riotous evening at least once or twice a month." The older men were found to use alcohol freely, but the younger ones required no such stimulants, and tbey all avold ed excess, Leing well nware XlfSt for them the penalty was sudden denth. Marriage deteriorated the aviator by Increasing his .sense of personal re sponsibility for others. Courage "he had, of course, and a touqh of reck lessness is not undesirable from the standpoint of achievement in war.? Exchange. Machinery in Japan. Japan's rapid industrial progress during the past live years Is nowhere more conspicuous than In the develop ment of the machinery trade. Japan Imported In 1914 machinery to n value of somewhat more than $12,000,000; in 1918 more than $29,000,000. In 1914 the United States furnished 20 per cent of the total imports of machin ery; in 1918 80 per cent. Japan's ex ports of machinery, chiefly to far eastern countries, have Increased from $<134,000 In 1914 to approximately $7,890,000 In 1918. Exports Include electrical machinery, spinning and weaving machinery, lathes and print ing machinery. The Lucky Cuss.

IGLOO HOME SUITS ESKIMO lUfanuon DnlirH $Mb?tUutlW ?# Concrete Hut# WeuW Bring )? Death to the Native* f The movements to modernise tbo Bttklmo by providing him with con crete huts In place of his picturesque snow Igloos, as suggested by an offi cial of tbo United Htatea bijreau of fisheries, would l>e the death of the denizens of the Icy North. In the opin ion of Vllhjaliuur gtefansson, tlie arc tic explorer. Not only la the Ksklmo devoted to hla age-long habitation, aa the South ^ea Inlanders are to their traditional garb of flower garland# and freah smiles, but he la far healthier, warmer and more comfortable In hit domed mansion of snow blocks than he could be In any modern houfre of concrete. The statement that the natives of the Prlbllof islands were about to dis card their enow huts for modern con crete huts, finding the galea of the Bering sea too strong for the former, upon which the story of the Intended change of Eskimo hablta was based, Mr. Btefansson characterised as too allly for discussion. The explorer, talk* log at hla headquarters at the National Geographical society building at New York, aald that the Prlbllof lalanders had ne>er lived in snow huts, but In wooden hutt, atod that farther north, where the natives do live In snow housea. It would be next to Impossible to convert them to any other dwell ing. ? "Their Igloo serves as a home for two or three weeks," he said. "Tlieu they build a new one. Because it Is new It Is clean and sanitary. It Is as warm and comfortable as your library. A candle gives as much Illumination as three electric lights, becauso of the Intense whiteness of the Snow. *fhe snowhouse will stand under any^condl tions. In all, the Igloo la as comfort able a home as a man could wish." FOUND MILLIONS FOR OTHERS Mgp Who Discovered the Famous Com atock Lode Profited Little by Their Great Luck. The famous Oomstock lode, greatest of silver deposits, was discovered In 1859 by three prospectors, Pete O* Rlley, Pat McLaughlin, and "Old Pan cake" CoinKtock, while washing gravel for gold<. They were In hard luck. Needing water for their rockers, they dug a iiole four feet deep and carte upon a bed of sulphide of sliver. Not knowing what It Was they tried It for gold, with highly satisfactory results,* though cursing the "Infernal blue sand" that^elogged their primitive ap paratus. The blue sand was an' outcropping of the wonderful lode, one vein of which. 300 feet wide, came afterward to be known as the "Big Bonanza," yielding ore that was nearly half sliver. From this source were derived the multlmll lions of Mackay, Flood, O'Brien and Fair?the last-named being a young mining engineer, while the other three were everyday miners. The discoverers sold out for 8ninll sums. "Old Pancake" blew out his brains; O'llilcy went In sane and McLaughlin died a poor. man. World to Be His Parish. A Scottish parson, Rev. D. A. G. Malr,vl8tglvlng up a comfortable pas-' torate, and, like John Wesley and SL Francis, Is going to make the -world his parish. In other words, he Intends to become an Itinerant preacher, wan dering up and down Scotland. In the winter he will take up quarters In one of the poverty-stricken parts of Glas gow, where he hopes to speridTbls time In study and ministering to the wants of people In tots neighborhood. He has no private means. "It Is God's work," he says, "and I rely on God's promises. l-J? ?-*?~ "One of the experiments In the Gos pel that we have never tried Is that of evangellcnl poverty as a holy voca tion." Want# Trees With History. If you know where the?? Is a tree with a history, the American Forestry association, at Washington, D. O., wants a report on it with a picture for its hall of fame. Tho association is anxious to find trees with a history, rather than trees whose only claim to fame is their size. The Dumont Ken nedy Klin, at Crawfordsvllle, Ind.; is reported as being larger than the elm at Huntington, which has held first place as to sizo for some time. The Wye Mills oak, near Eastern, Md., is credited with being 51^ feet In cir cumference, Dancing Craze Affects Scotland. The dancing craze has reached such proportions, even In sober Scotland. that It came up before the Inverness magistrates. Bailie Petrle, who fa vored restriction before, said he would not now oppose dancing to four o'clock In the morning, because after consider ing the question, he conslderd the evils which he had In view were not the di rect outcome of those dances. Bailie MacAllen moved that dancing be re stricted to two o'clock, but It was agreed that it should be permitted un til four o'clock. Wireless in China.
