NO SLEEP SUBSTITUTE
The latest quest of over-imaginative
scientists is a substitute for
sleep. They figure that one-third of
life is spent in sleep, and that if one
could obtain the rstorative effcet
could obtain the restorative effect
pill or phial, man's active days
would run to 24 hours per, instead
of the estimated 16. Just so; and if
one could find a substitute for death,
immortality could be attained.
The Great Designer counted in
time for sleep when he measured
man's span of life, and selected
science can not beat the game of a
substitute. This is one of those scien
tific quests that make reactionaries
of Abyssinia experimenters whom
Rasselas found searching for dyes
that, when spread aver flies fed to
spiders, would result in the spinning
of colored webs by their devourers.
Cucumbers still contain sunshine, and
rainbows yield pots of gold, but only

ENRICHING the con-
GRESSIONAL LIBRARY
Conre&9 now has an opportunity
to enrich the Congressional Library
and the nation with one of the most
valuable and varied collections of in
cunabula in the world. Dr Oaao E.
P. Vollbehr has offered to sell his
extraordinary collection of books and
documents of the fifteenth century
to the library at about half its value,
and Representative Ross A. Collins of
Mississippi has introduced a bill to
buy the collection for $1,500,000.
The Vollbehr collection is the sec
ond largest in the world, being ex
ceeded in number of books only by
the Hunting collection, now in Cali
fornia. It is excelled by none in rare,
well-preserved and beautiful ex
amples of the beginnings of printing
In Europe. The collection has been
exhibited not only throughout Europe
but in several cities of America, in
cluding St. Louis, where it aroused
the greatest interest. It has the ad
miration and approval as a wonder
ful collection of experts all over the
world, who give it the greatest value
from a historical and literary, book
binding and printing standpoint. It
cannot now be duplicated. It has
what has been called the Incunabul
um Incunabulorum the greatest ex
ample of early printing a Guten
berg of 42-line Bible printed on vel
lum in the world, and this is the only
opportunity to procure one for the
United States. Its money value alone
has been placed by experts at $1,000,
000. But of course as a rare speci
men of Gutenberg printing its histor
ical value is inestimable.
Dr. Vollbehr originally offered
3000 volues for $3,000,000, which
was considered a fair price, but now
he has added to the collection offer
ed Congress for half that sum, 1500
more, making a total of 4500. It is
impossible within the space of a brief
article to name the valuable and in
teresting documents and books in the
collection. It has 300 classics, very
rare books and historical documents
and letters, including the celebrated
Columbus letter of Peb. 16, 1493. An
idea of the variety of the collection
may be gathered from the following
quotation from a speech by Mr. Col
lins: The collection embraces a
great variety of languages,
which, besides Latin and Greek,
includes 48 books in Spanish,
10 in Hebrew, 52 in German dia
lects, 100 in Italian, 17 in
French, one in Slavonic, one in
Chinese, arid eight in English.
There are 424 first editions in
the collection, 450 books not
mentioned in the standard bib
liography of Kain, 100 that were
printed in the period from 1456
to 1470, and 100 that have not
been described in any catalogue.
Here are some of the most
beautiful examples of Guten
berg, Fust and Schoffer, the
earliest European printers; Men
' tel. Eggesteln and Rusch, the
"R" printer of Strassburg; Zain
er and Baemler of Augsburg;
Anthony Koberger of Nurem
berg, the first captain of the
printing industry; Ulrich Zell
of Cologne, said to have print
ed the first Latin classic, and
Heinrich Quentell of the same
city. From Italy, where print
ing flourished to a reasonable
degree, one finds the great names
of Sweynhelm and Pannartz, the
first printers in that country, as
well as Wendelinus Spira, Jen
son, Plannck, Hahn, Zarotus, de
Tortis, and a host of others, in
cluding the incomparable Aldus
Manutius of Venice. France is
represented by Hubs of Lyons
and Caillaut, Petit, Marchant
and Verard of Paris; Spain by
Ungut and Rosenbach, among
others; Switerland by Furter,
von Amerbach and Kessler; the
Low Countrkies by Leon and
Ballaert, and last, but by no
means the least, one finds from
England the rare Caxton and
Pynson and Wynken de Worde.
The liberality of Congress has en
abled the library to acquire a vast
and varied collection of rare books,
pamphlets and documents, but Con
gress has miiised some opportunities
to acquire invaluable collections,
mch as the library of George Wash
ington, the original manuscript of
Washington's farewell address; the
Hartley papers, rich in American his
tory; all of which Congress refused
to buy and has regretted its refusal
ever since. The Vollbehr offer is
probably the only chance that Con
gress will ever have of getting the
Gutenberg vellum Bible. Its purchase
will put the Congressional Library
in the first rank among libraries.
If the nation can spend $40,000,-
000 for a battleship, it can certainly
spend a million and a half for a col
lection of incunabula and classics
which will have not only intrinsic
value but an inestimable value to his
torians, students, scholars and the
art of book-binding. The library
building and land cost nearly $7.
000,000, but its value is measured
not by the cost of land and building
but the treasures it contains. St.

MEXICAN PROGRESS
Mexico has drafted an army, not
to kill other Americans, but to build
a hew highway to the United States.
This announcement recently has been
made through the Department of
Communications and -Public Works.
The highway will connect Mexico
City with Laredo, Texas, and the of
ficial announcement affirms that It
will be completed within the year.
Ground for this significant enter
prise was broken this week. The
work will be under the direction and
supervision of General Juan Andrew
Almazan, Minister of Communica
tions. General Almazan expects to
employ 20,000 soldiers of the Federal
Army during the construction of the
thoroughfare, declaring them to be
among the most efficient road build
ers in the world.
What this construction should
mean to the farmers, miners, business
men and all classes living along the
route of the highway should be ob
vious. It should be obvious, too, that
such construction is a striking evi
dence that Mexico's present faith in
the friendship of the United States
is something very different than it
was in the day of Villa and Caranza,
for example. It seems most eloquent
ly to suggest that understanding be
tween the Mexican and American
people is well on the way to become
as firm and satisfactory as is that
which for so long has existed between
the people of this republic and the
people of the Dominion of Canada.
Such action and such highways sug
gest an influence for peace that
should prove to be more powerful
than howitzers and armies.
:o:
DANGEROUS PRACTICES
While it Is happily true that trust
busting is a moribund issue, it could
be revived. And, if it is revived, the
pulmotor that does it will be new
evidence of exploitation of the peo
ple by unregulated monopolies.
The public feels a growing dis
quietude over some practice and poli
cies which exhibit bigness not only
in the combines, but In schemes of
cunning greed.
Attention has Just been brought to
evidences of "water" In the stocks
of certain large power companies and
combines. Those practices may have
been necessary and pardonable in the
early days of railroad and industrial
development when capital was scarce
and susceptible only to unusual lures.
But they are not necessary today,
and where found are pretty conclu
sive proof of deliberate inflation to
create a fictitious valuation for rate'
fixing purposes.
The power industry is inviting gov
ernment regulation when one com
pany asks a six per cent return on a
book valuation of $30,000,000 on wa
ter power rights that cost it $86,-
892 a year.
Interests resorting to such repre
hensible practices are betraying their
industry to the enemy, the reformer
type of political opportunist who is
ever on the hunt for an opening Into
power or public office.
:o:
POOR MEMORIES
Witnesses afflicted with loss of
memory when brought before House
and Senate probing bodies have an
illustrious compatriot in the person
of Cyrus Curtis, Philadelphia pub
lisher. A few days since Mr. Curtis put
into harbor at San Francisco aboard
his private yacht and negotiated by
telegraph purchase of the Philadel
phia Bulletin. The price was some
where between $10,000,000 and $11.
000,000. And then Mr. Curtis sailed for
China, forgetting to sign the check.
Naturally, one wonders how much
money would be needed to make that
man remember.
