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 statement that the natives of

upon which the story of the Intended

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
