LIBRARIES IN MiNIATURE,
Suggestion for Reducing Space Nend
ad to House the Books.
One of the greatest difficulties with
w'hith the custodians of modern libraries
have to contend is the disposal of 'the
eonalantly increasing number of volumes
in the limited space at their command.
Ilut a nevi idea has been propounded in
.he Bulletin de Pfustitut International
de Bibliograpbie by 11. Goldschmidt, and
Paul Oulet, which might, if successful,
revolutionize all the great public libraries
of the world,
The plan consists hi substituting for
the huge pages of the books as printed
ulicro•photographie reproductions of the
same to be read through a magnifying
Ices, It is propos! that the size o1 the
plates repro.oeitiig *pages should be in.
ternationa!ly standardized, so that any
one possessing the necessary magnifying
apparatus should be able to rand any
book ret •o
t diced in this t ,
1 t namtr.
No teehnicnl difficulties are said to be
int the way. 1t is ek,imed that the cost
of pro:hmeticn would be enormously re-
dmccd; that a volume of 836 pages, now
costing five francs, could be produced
for eight centimes. It would, moreover,
greatly reduce the work is large libraries
`now encumbered by Mittel of every shape
and size.
The plates, according to the ingenious
propounders of the scheme, are to be
made of a fireproof and durable material;
while the system admits of an edition
being enlarged to any dimensions desired
in ticcordnnce with the clenand. It is,
indeed, a very clever idea, which any one
who stakes habitual INC of a great public
library will fully' appreciate, but it will
scarcely meet with rho approval of those
writers'of fiction who are known as the
authors of the beat selling novels of the
year,

while living in Hamilton, my health
began to decline. The first symptoms
were headaches and general weakness,

to my household duties. I lost flesh,
looked bloodless and had frequent
fainting fits. I was constantly doc-

cases in which she knew of the great
benefit that had followed their use.

pills and had only used them a few
weeks when I began'to feel bonefitted,
and from that time on the improve-
ment was steady, and by the time I
had used about a dozen boxes of the
pills I was again enjoying the ble;lsing
of good health- I cannot too stronglsa
