' LIBRARY CEMETERIES.
Million! of Books Buried Awsy nd
Navor Oponad.
The Brillli inuseuin possesses Id all
about 4.0OMXX) volumes. A year or
two ago those In the reading xooio were
carefully fine over and made to form
a library completely up to date. Wheu
this work was In progress the authori
ties could uot And more than 00.000
books which were In use. Experi
tnre therefore points to the fact that
the proportion of live to dead or half
dead bookH Lu this huge collection Is
as 1 to 000.
"You may assume," said the libra
rian, "that of all the vast number of
works that generations of men have
Indited only UO.OOO remain alive. In
this bulldlnc la a great Ironmongery
of shelves, forty-two miles of books
repose, and there are miles of volumes
which no human being has ever opened
and no buinan being Is ever likely to
opun. There they rest apparently for
gotten. "Sometimes an esoteric volume from
the midst of this huge maze of shelves
Is asked for by a student wno may
have come from any part of the world
to see some book which can be found
only In the British museum. 8o that
In the museum, unlike other libraries,
no book can be Bald even to be abso
lutely demised.
"This differentiates the museum per
haps from all other libraries In the
world. The only other great collec
tions of books which at all coinpeto
with It In this sphere of cosmopolitan
research ore the Blbllotheqiie Nation
ale in Paris and the great itlonal li
braries nt Berlin, Munich and Vienna.
"Notwllhsaudlug this there arc acre
and acres of books here which are un
cut and which have never left their
places on the shelves since tliey were
placed on them." Exchnuae.
Origin of tha vurtew.
In the year (1iv.li afler King Henry's
death, lu a synod, by the duke's an
-tbority and attended by bishops, ab
Dots and barons, it was ordered that a j
bell should be rung every evening, al
the bearing of which prayer should be
offered and all the people should gel
within their hoURes and hut their
doors. This odd mixture of piety and
police seems to be the orlein Of the fn
' moils and 'misrepresented curfew
Whatever was Im object. It was nt least
not ordnlncd as any special hardship
