One of ttie most remarkable books
ever published is tue "i,u.iiosrrapuia
Wlreeburgensla," written by s Wurs-
burs naturalist namod Behringer In
20. Probably very few copies are In
existence., as tlie author destroyed all j
tbnt no could get possession or soon
after the book appeared. Ho bad been
Icllmizod by some practical Jokers, '
who had inado a great variety of artl-
rial "foRHlls" and hidden them In a
quarry, to which they then enticed the j J
nrofesaor. Hehrlniter was overjoyed I
by so rich a Urnl and bad no suspicion
of the trick, although many of the fo-
IIh were of a very grotcsquo charac
ter. He took his treasures home, maae
elaborate drawings of thorn and wrote
mlnuto description of each, as well
h an exhaustive commentary filled
with liiRonlons and. plausible theories.
When be had published the book the
Jokers confessed, and then, of course,
the professor did his utmost to sup
press the work.
