Readers' Estimates of the Worki in a - Circulating Library Apt to Be Irritating to Author, If He Saw Them.. Not only is the battered condition of certain works of fiction in circulatin: libraries n .sure proof of their popular ity, hut one nmy even .trailer detail from the lnariiuil notes mude by feminine readers. It is not sufficient for the ooiiimenladve neiieil to uml t seore admired passages, observes a writer In the New Orleans Tinies-rka-:"'.; iiilj-etlves of praise also are lively if not always discriniuatini,! lived. On the closing pajjo of some favoritr Aiowl may often be read: "Fine!1 "Splendid!" "Lovely!" or IiIrIic.-H ciia;a,-!.f.atioii of all ' Grand !" One lioteniaker undertook the lurge order, "I would read every siujjle word she writes," and another avowed, with more justice than she knew, "Yor Jjn't often find a book like this." On the other h; nd, tVso unprofes sional critics can be terribly severe. A novel which takes iheni out of tjiwr depth is denounced Us "A great bU bore," or, with rude terwuess, "Hot !' or even, in one i?o of evident exas peration, "You Vu. you know it all." A vigorous con-.'.tK'Btator on one of Mary Cholimmdeloy's novels did not wait for the last, but on the first p:-;:-warned away posMble readers with the word, "run!;," and three exclnn tion points. Th-; ..ifawliiig, tfifo:-i'.:e hand pursued the author with invei. ernte seoru tlir.j;i;. iiout the book, muni testing that strung" sense of super; jrity which f'-equenlly characterizes Ignorance. A verse jjf French poetry evoked the impatient query, "Why not writ -Greek?" while above another was scribbled, "Aw. piltle I We are not all French, you know." Observe that no intellectual curiosity was kindled In that thick brain to know what the French words meant, nor any realiza tion awakened that we enrich our selves by knowledge of another lau gnage. The author's humorous touches were clearly taken as serious by this out raged reader who, after one passage, wrote mockingly, "My hero !" When a mnsculine character says something "hoarsely" It Is asked with biting sar casm, "Did he have a cold?" The hero conducts the heroine through a dark room, "knocking her carefully against pieces of furniture." as usually happens when one person tries to pilot another through obscuri ty, but this merciless critic demands, "Wasn't lie chivalrous?" Of a tastelessly arranged room the author said, "The furniture was not of the kind that expresses only one Idea, and that a bad one," which culls forth the comment. "Like this book." The sun is not permitted to shine "brave ly" without C.e jeer, "The sun ougln to have u medal." Filially the cup of the author's ia iquities, so far as the captious rendsT Is concerned, quite overllov,-.-:, ii.li' t (.'. the last page we liml the verdict, "This book is the buggh-st ever." Gunner's Mate W'ns Praise. Frederick 1'et r:.on Yost, chief gun ner's mate, United Slates navy, has received a letter commending him for the excellent work of rlie armed guard of which he was in ch-.rge on a caro ship attacked by a Miliiimrltie. The promptness with wbl-h the submarine was picked up and iircl upon and tin accuracy of aim proved the eilk-ieur;, of the gun crew. Yost cniisted In the navy at Philadelphia, Pa., October .". 1007, and gave as his next of kin hi:-, father, Albert John Yost, Centerville, ft. I. Here Is a characteristic report from this gunner: "Might and fop when a sub was sighted, port bow. Ship started to swing when enemy crossed port bow, giving the appear ance of craft from 200 to 300 feet Showed one gun astern. We fireii three shots, one striking conning tower and exploding, while the lliird shot, fired as the sub got broad off the ship's beam, hit abaft conning tower, (.'row of sub taken by surprise, as there were no return shots. We fired still an other shot while sub was going under, striking near conning tower, l-'irini' was heard folio .ing this attack fi-mn a distance, it being learned later Hint another shin had been attacked ami sunk." Rather Risky Proceeding. The government's efforts to cure the mule of the braying habit reminds ihe Liberty Tribune ibut the same prob lem was up ilnrin? the Civil war. Then, says the Tribune, a Colonel Car land of the Confederate army, after ward attorney general uf iu. United States, asserted that Hie mule (iild be made brayless by lying a brick to Its tail, as it was impnibie for a mule to bray unless it raised its tail and re leased the clutch on its vocal cord. But wouldn't it be far less dangerous to operate on n mule than so to attach a brick? Kansas City Times. Spinach Puff, With all the other things which the reserve man power of the nation has to worry about at this very peak and crisis, why should the household editor devise an alleged comestible known as eplnach puff and spread the plans and specifications just where the noble womankind of the nation will be sure to see them and pounce eagerly upon thein? Ohio State JournuL CHINESE HAD BRIGHT IDEA Attempted Reproduction of Machine, I However, Didn't Win Any Approval From Aviator. I After completing his service In the United States army (he enlisted in 1007), Raoul Lufberry roamed over ' Japan and China and India. During his travels he ran across an airplane : exhibition flight In Saigon. Marc Pour pe, the famous French trick llyer, was barnstorming In the fur Fast. He gave I.ufbery employment us mechanic, and thus occupied in a new and fascinating ! pursuit, Lufhery continued his nir- p'ane education for three years under Pourpe. The experience lasted until the beginning of the great war. While performing In China the two aviators were struck with the unusual warmth of their welcome and i.ae re peated Invitations tiiey lVceived to prolong their stay. They were over whelmed with gifts as well as with praise, and received many marks of royal favor. Their hosts examined the strange bird again and again, received the un intelligible explanations of its mirac ulous flight, made measurements nnd drawings, and excitedly discussed the problem with one another, while the two foreigners examined the new gifts that had been lavished upon them. Finally the secret of tills prolonged hospitality -was out. Pourpe and Luf hery were conducted In state to a neighboring city, where the Chinese experts had all this time been con structing their first airplane. It was far more marvelous to the airmen than was the original. Upon approaching the inclosure, the aviators saw the admiring populace roll back, disclosing to view a gorge ous spectacle the first Chinese air plane. Stepping nearer to study the magnificent creation they heard the subdiied roar of the engine above the riotous clamor of foreign tongues. Politely examining the framework and multicolored fabric, they found the spars, struts and flooring to be constructed of light bamboo. The beautiful fabric was of the lightest tissue paper. The roar of the engine continued. Placing an ear against the engine hood, Pourpe tried to fathom tins mys tery. The propeller stood motionless, a splendid production of highly pol ished teak wood and mahogany, but undeniably Indifferent to the healthy manifestations of engine power with in. Several coolies anchored the Im patient machine to earth by holding desperately to Its framework with all their might. The crowd was pressed back and the airman cordially Invited to climb Into t,he seat. He lemurred politely, and Inquired, with gestures, as to the character of the motor and the fuel. And could he examine the spark plugs? The engine hood was reluctantly re moved. A huge swarm of angry hees was buzzing madly within the glass cage, rivaling in the intensity of their fury the noise of Pourpe's own power ful motor. The Chinese had estimated conscientiously the amount of weight that could be carried by one bee and after carefully weighing the new nir phine their mathematical experts had inclosed enough bees to carry the whole weight, adding a few extra bees to give a small margin of extia horse power for emi.gencie,-i. , Rut Pourpe was dissatisfied with the soundness of these arithmetical (-adulations and declined to fly, much to the disappointment of his new friends. Lnurence La Touretto Driggs In Cen tury. England Breeds Rabbit; !;r Food. Rabbit: breeding In England ha.-; been undertaken by the government in an effort to relieve the shoriage of meat due to the war. The National Utility Knbblt asso ciation, it was announced recently, litis established a central breeding station and stud exchange in Vauxhull, Lon don. The first club started in London under auspices of the association Is at the Royal mews, Buckingham palace.. The primary object is to build up as quickly as possible a large supply of the best pedigreed stock, which will be sent to provincial breeding centers. These in turn will supply breeding stock to smaller stations. Each of the larger provincial centers will hove 100 breeding dmw, while the smaller stations will keep on hand about 20 each. It Is the hope of olll cials Unit all allotment societies, food production organizations, women's In stitutes and many factories, munition works, school nnd summer camps will form rabbit clubs to be ulliliated with the national association. Study of Rata Valuable. After 11 years of experimenting with rats, Dr. E. V. McGullum, head of the chemistry department of the school of hygiene and public health of Johns Hopkins university, has readied the conclusion that the food requirements of all animals, includ ing man, iye the same. He declares that the extensive con sumption of dairy products Is neces sary to produce a vigorous race and prolong life. Durii.g the years that Doctor Mc Collum has been studying this ques tion, especially Interesting now, when food Is playing such an Important part In the affairs of the world, he has been housing about 1,500 white and hybrid rats In his laboratory.
