Half historical and half mythical, Tyrian Carthage— .which must not be confused with the later and flourishing Roman city of the African fathers, of the Donatists, -and of Belisarius—stands as no city of. sweetness and light, but rather as a type of the commercial and, for all the splendors which poetry and art have woven about its fabric, of the commonplace and the banausic. Arche ology, however, may correct this im pression, though, when the spade lias performed its task, it may be ques tioned whether, after all, Carthage as seen through the eyes of Virgil, Tur ner and Flaubert does not yet present the more entrancing spectacle. Despite Schleimann, the Sceun gate Is still neai’er to us in Homer than In the ground plan of llissarlik, and Aga memnon’s palace is still rather to be 'sought in the pages of Aeschylus than on the modern site of excavated My cenae. But we would not underrate the spadework of scholars, or its re sults. What was Crete, with Laby rinth and Minotaur, but a myth a short time ago?

Frdm Leipzig comes word that th* copy of the famous Guienberg Bibla, which is said to be the finest example extriAt of the first book printed by me chanical means, is on the market, t» be sold to the highest bidder. TUh Bible for years has reposed Hi the Leipzig museum of books. It« «ale at this time Is forced because the mu seum- is unable to continue Its exist ence iwithout new funds to cover It* cost-Of maintenance. This copy of the Gutenberg Bible was presented to the state of Saxony by a Dresden collector. The state, In turn, vested the title in the Leipzig museum, and tills Institution, at the present, i* prepared to pass on the heritage to the highgBt bidder. Artists of Germany, including Max Llebermann, Louis Corinth, and others, are attempting to raise funds te cover the deficit and save the book for Gor- many. The value of the Leipaig Bible Is practically beyond appraisal. One copy, in bad condition, was sold In 1911 for $500,000. All other examples known are damaged. This Lolpaig Bible alone is a perfect specimen, and, for that reason, is most highly valued of all those examples of the oai i f printing art. Another Use for X-Ray. The French Investigators, who are among the most ingenious, have din- covered that the X-ray furnishes a very rèady means to detect stony im purities in coal. Now, carbon 1 b very transparent to the Roentgen rays, while sllicla Is opaque to them. Con sequently the silicates, which form slag when coal Is burned, can be seen like a skeleton when the shadow of the coal is projected upon a florescent screen. It is reported that this meth od Is much in vogue in France.— Washington Star.
