A LITERARY CRIME.
* he Deitruetion of the Great Library
of Alexandria.
On Dec. 22, G40, after a siege
that had lasted fourteen months,
foe great ZuuhummOutiu general
Amrou found himself master of the
renowned city of Alexandria, the
capital of Egypt and at that time
the commercial and intellectual me
tropolis of the world.
To his master, the Caliph Omar,
Amrou wrote, “1 have captured
Alexandria, a city containing 4,000
palaces, 4,000 baths, 12.000 dealers
in fresh oil, 12,000 gardeners, 40,-
000 Jews who pay tribute and 400
theaters and other places of amuse
ment.”
Amrou made no reference in his
letter to the magnificent library,
concerning which there has come
down the following story: John the
Grammarian, the most learned man
of his day. being in Alexandria at
the time, begged of Amrou that lte
would give him the library. Amrou
told him that it was not in his pow
er to grant such a request, but that
he would write to the caliph about
it.
Omar, on hearing the request of
his general, sent back the reply:
“If those books contain tbe same
doctrine as tbe Koran they are of no
use, since the Koran contains all
needful truth; on the other hand,
if they contain nnything contrary
to the Koran they ought to be de
stroyed. Therefore, whatever their
contents may be, I order them to
be committed to the flames.”
Accordingly they were distribut
ed among the public baths of the
city, where for more than six
months they served to supply the
fires.
The loss to the intellectual
wealth of the world by that ruling
of Omar is incalculable. The stored
up wisdom of ageB was in that Alex
andrian library, and with the de
struction of the precious volumes
facts were lost which were never to
be recovered. Tbe caliph’s igno
rant and fanatical belief in the in
fallibility of the Koran worked hu
manity the harm that can never be
atoned for while the world Btands.

Bathing an Elephant.
The elephant’s bath takes a week
to carry out in detail; it requires the
services of three men, and it costs
$300, the Philadelphia Record says.
This treatment is necessary for a
circus elephant, and if the animal is
n valuable one the proprietor of the
circus does not consider the money
wasted. The first process consists
in going over the immense body
with the best soap procurable—150
pounds of soap are used—and the
elephant’s cars are especially care
fully attended to. When the soap
ing and drying are completed the
elephant is well sandpapered and
after that rubbed all over with the
purest Indian oil until the mouse
gray skin is supple and glistening.
This last finishing touch is the moBt
expensive part of the whole bath, as
$150 has to be spent on the oil
alone.
Forehanded.
An industrial commission ap
pointed by congress was conducting
certain investigations with refer
ence to the operation of mills and
factories in various parts of the
country, and the members became
especially interested in the working
of one mill in a southwestern state.
The investigators were in one room
when the whistle blew for noon.
The operatives put up their tools
and vanished as if by magic. “Do
all the workmen drop their tools the
instant the whistle blows?” asked
one of the commission. “No, not
all,” answered the man who was
acting as guide. “The more orderly
have their tools put away before
that time.”

Strange Children.
George Bancroft, the historian,
used to relate with gusto a joke that J
he caught while trotting to school '
along a Massachusetts country road. :
It was about old Levi Lincoln, says
Percy H. Epler in “Master Minds at
the Commonwealth’s Heart.” The!
old gentleman was nearly blind. A I
flock of geese was being driven gob- 1 a P !1 j * I ho fight thumb will go out of
liling up Lincoln street. Leaning: busine-s temporarily, for its picture
far out of the carriage, the fine old | lull upon the blind spot.
The Eye’s Blind Spot.
The blind spot in the eve is where
the optic nerve comcjs through the
retina about one-tenth of an inch
nearer (he nose titan the center.
To lest it close your fists with your
thumbs outside and held against

“God bless you, my children!”
Just What He Said.
“I don’t believe a word you have
said.” snapped the skipper, “but
I’ll tell you what 1 do believe—that
you are a confounded sen lawyer
and that you would talk the hind
log off a donkey. Did you hear what
I said ?”
“Yes, sir,” replied Able Seaman
Danks sulkily.
“What did I say?”
