Tho"K'l ngdom of Slender Swords, by
Hal lie Krmlnle Rives, with a foreword by
Baron Maklno. Published by Bobbe-Mer
rlll Company.
A tale of Japan, flawless in detail as an
Ivory carving, scented with sandalwood,
breathing In every page the spirit of mod
ern Japan, whore gold-lacquered Buddhas
contemplate calmly the latest model of
motor-car. and bakers in the modern com
mercial spirit advertise. "The biggest
loafers In Tokyo." To quote. "It seems na
tural for people to live In houses made of
bird-cages nnd paper napkins, and travel
about In grown-np baby-buggies."
story Is an exciting one dealing w ith aero
planes. patriotism, love, and deadly In
ventions, but the charm I» In the Intimate
descriptions of people and country, which
make the book unique, for nowhere else
has this "flavor" of Nlppln been so vital
ly Incorporated,
Perhaps nowhere else has the difference
between Japanese and foreign viewpoint
In regard to morals been so clearly and
impartially expressed.
Among many amusing descriptions Is
the funeral of the dog-doctor, attended by
all the dogs In the precedence of their
masters' Importance, and striking 1s the
likening of an aching tooth to "a small
hell filled with myriads of lost souls."
The Illustrations by A. B. Wenzell show
his characteristically long and slender
maidens, and are among his best produc
I .
tions. Extremely pleasing is the effect of
these colored plates printed to cover the
entire page, so that the white margin does
not spoil the coloring with Its cold ugli
ness.

What is probably the largest steel pas
senger car equipment owned by any rail
road In tho world Is that of th* Pennsyl

this large number of steel cars, the Penn

of Us lines of densest traffic.
On August 12th. 190«. the Pennsylvania
Railroad announced that all future pas
senger equipment would ho built of steel;
not only steel frame, but steel and non
cotlapsable In every particular. In plann
ing the cars and establishing the stan
dards, which are now copied In all Penn
sylvania passenger cars, no expense has
been spared by the company to build a
coach which should provide the greatest
possible strength, a steel framing which
could not be affected by fire, an Inside
lining which should be absolutely un
burnable, and. at the same time, one that
would not conduct heat or sound.
The Pennsylvania Raul road In Novem
ber, 190«. ordered 100 all-steel passenger
cars. Since that time additional orders
have been placed and there are now In
service on tho company s lines 246 coaches,
10 dining cars, 21 combination passenger
and baggage cars. 79 baggage cars, 1* pos
tal cars, and one company car; a total of
324 cars. In course of construction there
are 14« conches. 81 dining cars, 48 com

LOCAL LIBRARY
WELL APPOINTED
There is a sign which la frequent!, seen I
In stores In various parts of the country |
which Is oeculiarly applicable to public i
libraries—"If you don't see what you
want, ask for It." It Is so common an
expression as to attract little attention,
and yet * ought to be borne In mind by
those who go to public libraries. Libra
ries of the present day are arranged, as
far as possible, so as to make It easy for
readers to find what they want; assist
ants are trained to render all the help
possible, but In epite of arrangement and
aid of assistants, readers sometimes leave
libraries unsatisfied because they fall to
make their wants fully known.
There Is scarcely any subject on which
the Library of this city cannot give some
Information, hut owing to tha fact that
much Information Is contained In period
icals. and in out-of-the-way places, ae
cessible only through Indexes In the hands
of the reference assistants, It follow, that
unless a reader asks for what ae does not
see. ho will fall to get the Information
wanted. I
The resources of tho Free Library of
Wilmington for reference work are ex
ceptlonally good for a city of Its size, but
It Is almost Impossible for any one to
get the greatest good from It without ask
ing question, of the assistants.
