SOME InTEBESTING JfACTS ABOUT JHI, ;.; British Museum The House of Commons has before It a Bill which, if passed will give th« Trustees of the British Museum power to get rid of "ry destruction or otherwise printed matter which 1b not of. sufficient valae to justify its preservation*" The Museum is becoming so crowded that It is difficult to find room for all'the Viet amount of literary matter which arrives daily from all parts of the world. The Museum auth rlties would like to get rid of the provincial evening and weekly journals and periodicals, which they believe would be of greater value in provincial museums. We publish below a few Interesting particulars gathered by one of oar representatives as to the overcrowded condition of the British Museum. TWO'AND A. HAM? MILE 3OF PAFEBS. The space available for newspapers cf any kind in the basement of the Museum will be completely occupied iv. two years. Should, however, some of the provincial papers be turned out there will ba accomodation for London newspapers for forty years to come. If room be not made in this way, new building opera* tiona will ba necessary ab once. A new wing for the Maseum on the norrh elde is already planned. It will cost £160,000 and, say, £20,000 for fittings ; bub it cannot bs ©pened ia less than three yeare, and when ib is built the galleries are required for the exhibition of prints and drawings—the Museum has the finest collection in the world, and only one room to show them in—and the basement foe the general purposes of the library. Of course, etlll further i xtenaions of the Maseum are possible — long galleries on the east and west sides (on which all the house property belongs to the trustees), providing about thrice the accomodation to be afforded by the contemplated new wing—in all. bringing up the area of ground covered by the institution from 5£ to 7£ acres' Some idea of the rate at wh eh knglieh, Scottish Irish, Colonial, and Foreign newspapers accumulate at the Museum may be gained from the fact that four years ago the bound volumes of them occupied 2J miles of shelving, and that uince thtii another quarter of a mile has been filled. Stories tor boys alone now fills miles or space. Excluding 223.941 copies of home newspapers received at the Maseum last year, there arrived 105,000 books, pamphlets, and other "printed matter." It helps one to grasp wbac these figures mean when it is realised that there are not Vdozan libraries in this country, public or private, containing even 100,000 volumes. EOiTY-FIVE BULBS CF SHELVES ; Meanwhile, the British •;.Museum Library^shelvea continue to extend at au amazing rate. The contents of the Library now occupy forty.five miles of shelves. Round and round the side of the great domed Reading Room, which is hidden fcom the sight of holders of readers" tickets, they go, tier above tier. There is more than one gangw»y describing the circumference, and to light and left, and through the gratings ok which one walks, and above the grating ceiling overhead, nothing can be discerned bub books. Running Iron* framed bookcases, which a child could move, are placed in front of the shelves at many points, and have already added five miles to the Library's accomodatien. Everywhere—and the thing seems curious in these days of cloth covers—there is the smell of leather bindings ; even the officials on returning from their holidays notice it. A BIG BOOKBINDING BILL Up in the topmost gallery—whence through a quietly unlocked door one gets that wonderful coup d'oeil of three hundred students, eagerly at work, under the largest dome in the world, men and women, old and yoang, some reading hard, others with pens hovering over memoranda or carefully handled books in type written sheets, or rapidly accumulating neatly written pages of manuscript down to the basement, the temperature is exactly that calculated to preserve the life oi books. Damp rather than time is the fje of libraries, and throughout the Museum there is. happily not a damp corner. Some of the more obscure newspapers are printed on such bad paper that it is a hard job to bind them, but many of them may outlast their 1875 or 1885 bindings, for the aniline dyes with which they were treated are eating the cases away. "Never use Russia or calf for your books, ware sulphuric acid," is a Museum expert's advise to those who have libraries. Half-roan is a binding in great popularity in the National Library. "•Half-buckram is also in favour for soma purposes ; for good books you hear morocco recommended ; for volumes likely to be hardiy used, pigtkin. The- Museum does its own binding, and some hooks are bound for as email a smm as 9.i; bub the monthly volumes of one uewspaper cost for their doubly strong outfit-straps by which to haul them from the shelves are now added-225. It is a striking iilnstration of the number of annual additions to the great insti tution of which y,Q are all ko proud that the yearly expenditure of £10,009 does not suffice to keep the binding depart ment from falling into arrears*
