And per- haps none of the amusements of human life are more satisfactory and dignified, than the finvestiga- tion and survey of the workings and ways of Providence: it occu- pies and elevates the mind, is inex- haustible in supply, and, while it furnishes meditation for the closei of the studious, gives to the re- flections of the moralizing ramb- ler admiration and delight, and is an engaging companion, that will communicate an interest to every rural walk. We need not live with the tenants of the woods and hedges, or the grasses of the field; but to pass them by in utter dis- regard, is to neglect a large por- tion of rational pleasure open to our view, which may edify and employ many a passing hour, and y easy graduations will often ecome the source whence flow "ers, "Young minds cannot, I should conceive, be too strongly impressed with the simple wonders of crea- tion by which they are surround- ed.

VATICAN LIBRARY NEARLY FINISHED Rome, Feb. 13--The new Vatican library, which will house the trea- sured volumes of Old World civili- zation, rapidly is nearing completion. . Pope Pius XI designed the build- ing and is supervising its construc- tion. He is especially interested in the work, since before his election to the pontificate he was head of the Ambrisian Library in Milan and of the old Vatican Library in Rome. More than seven miles of "steel shelving, three stories high, resemb- ling the skeleton of an American skyscraper, were. required to house Each deck floor has been covered with marble. The task of cataloguing the great collection, now practically finished, bas been accomplished with the aid of American [library experts and, more particularly, with the aid of the Carpegie £ndowment for Inter- ational Peace, pices four members of the Vatican staff recently a year's study of By introducing the index and filing systems used in the Library of Con- gress in Washington, students will be enabled for the first time to con- sult rare volumes never before avail- able for research. Special Aserican devices have been. installed to keep the temperature of the air in book- stacks adjusted so as to prevent warping and cracking or moulding of bgoks. : i The mew library edifice is con- struced in the plot of ground ad- joining the courtyard built by Julius II and ly as a promen- ade by the Popes. In the Vatican Library are the famous Yemen col- lection of Arabian manuscripts, which came into the Pope's posses- sion in 1922 after Vatican ities had negotiated: for them for twelve years. in that same year Pope Pius procured the collection of Prince Chigi, which alone contains more than" 3000 manuscripts. CANADA'S RAW PELT PRODUCTION er whose aus-|. GERMAN-AFRIGAN PACT HITS SHAG London, Feb. 13.--A dispatch to the Sunday Times, from Johannes- burg, South Africa, says something like consternation has been created among British manufacturers' ag- ents by the discovery of a "snag" clause in the German trade treaty prohibiting either part to the treaty from classifying or defining ' the products of the other as an indirect |. means of restricting or ° unfairly discriminating against the importa- tion of the products of the other. One prominent industrialist, it is said, contends this provision will not only militate against the devel- opment of British trade, particular- fy in steel, but will result in con- fusion beceuse of differences in di- mensions between Germany and South Africa and Germany and Great Britain. The trade treaty with Germany, recently negotiated by the Govern- ment of South Africa, provides for mutual tariff preferences between the two countries. The adoption of new classifications and definitions of products if permitted, would cut down the scope of the treaty by enabling either party to place » product entitled to preferential treatment in some other category not covered by the treaty. . ~ Adam and Eve were borne in Flint, Mich., this week.
