Mario Pellecbet, since dead, offered a prize of '$200 to the discoverer of the best means of saving books from worms. The prise was divided recently between two competitors. Constant Houlbert, a pro fessor at Rennes, and Johann Boll of Oorets. They have not found a way to get rid of the book destroyer, but they hays catalogued more precisely the number of the Insects and have suggested means to combat them. It appears thst ths most formidable eneifiy the book has Is the anoblum, which, sees through a microscope, bears a strik ing resemblance to a cowled monk, and has very destructive claws and antemao. It has been found that sulphur of carbonate kills It. but there is always danger In using the stuff, for it is Inflanimabla at a com paratively low temperature. At Nice tba reading rooms havs had to be closed evenings on account of a sort of moth very harmful to the books. VEILS DAMAGE THE EYESIGHT Interesting Experiments Mad by aa Eminent German Oeallst.

WHEN GAVIBETTA MET PRINCE CiaMlffet Tells of Conversation Dr. tween Great Republican and P.dnird. (Copyright, 1908. by PreM Publishing Co.) PARIS. Aug. 23 (New York Worhl Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The veteran Marquis ds Oslllfet, a former minister of war, is letting some of his highly interest ing recollections get Into print. He tells of meeting King Edward VII In Paris in 1880. while the latter was prince of Wales, and the prince asked him to dine at the Cafe Anglais, where he would meet Cam betta and another guest. At dinner, as they chatted, the prince said to Gambetta: "May I ask wby you and your friends keep the French aristocracy out of office T" "But, air, there is no aristocracy In France," answered Gambetta. "There are dukes that head no army, marquises who defend no marches, counts and viscounts who have no counties or viscounties, no authority nor Influence." "Suppose, then, that I spoke of nobles." "But they don't want to be employed. They know their day Is over. They sulk, and that la their final state. One only meets them in the army and navy, and now and then In diplomacy. In these ca reers they cut, I own, a good enough figure." "But, why do you not act as In my coun try f" queried the prince, "where we pick out what is best in manufactures, trade, science, literature, etc. These men we en noble, and our nobility remains a true aristocracy." "In your country that is still possible, and may remain so for some time, but not In France. The duke of Mossystone would object to rub shoulders with the duke of Cotton Mills or of Commerce or of Science or ot Fine Arts. We cannot in a republlo have any aristocracy but that of science and personal merit. Such an aristocracy needs no titles. It is looked up to for its worth." "I see you are a true republican, M. Gambetta." "Allow me, air," retorted Gambetta, "to confess that I think you consistent In being a royalist."

The automo bile accident in which Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair were killed continues to engross at tention and new theories are constantly be ing advanced over the signatures ot expert automoblllats. Borne contend that the auto mobile did not touch the tree, but that on seeing the danger Mr. Fair gave the ma chine a sharp twist, bringing the front wheels up absolutely perpendicular and at the aame time applying the brakes, hard, which combined action stopped the vehicle so suddenly that Mr. and Mrs. Fair were pitched forward violently. Others explain the accident otherwise. There are all sorta of rumors explaining the change of front of Brotey, the chauffeur, and Mme. Hourdet, the wife ot the castle gatekeeper, who seem now to know much more than they did at first. It la current gossip that both witnesses are now in the hands ot lawyers who will manage their teetlmony to the beet advantage. Brotey now claims that the accident was not due to a burstsd tire, but that Mr. Fair was suddenly chocked by a violent fit of coughing.

Tha acheme ia to start the year with the vernal equinox (March 21) and have each "Trimester," or quarter, contain one month of thirty-one days and two months ot thirty dsys each, thus making a year of 364 days, and to have afterward a fete day not counted in any month, and every four years two such fete or new year'a days. Ths months are called after the stars. The main advantage aeems to bs that the same dates recur on the same daya ot the week, so that there would be no need ot changing calendars every year.

This nstlon has great problems to face, problems in its ex ternal policy, problems even more Impor tant In the administration of its Internal affairs. We can solve them only If with serious purpose we set ourselves to the tuiik alike in the national and state gov ernments and In the local municipality and county organizations. We have great problems ahead of us as a nation. They will lax our Intelligence, but they will tax still more what ranks ahead or lntelll gence character. (Applause.)
