another firm is of the opinion that 90 per
cent. of all manuscript books once re-
jected never see the light.
Perhaps 70 per cent. of all manuscript
books are condemned as hopeless by the
first reader to whom they are sent. Many
are condemned, and rightly, after having
been read only in small part. The reader
dips in here and there when the first few
chapters seem to condemn in book, and, if
the thing does not improve he makes a
report of unconditional disapproval. The
Irst reader sometimes commends u book,
but suggests material changes. It then

finally is considered from the business
point of View as to its probnblc snlnbillty.
If it is deemed soluble the suggested
changes are presentelLto the author, and
after they ere made perhaps the book is
accepted and perhaps it is not. A novel
recently sent to a conspicuous publish-
ing house of New York was enthusiastic-
elly commended by the first reader, se-
verely criticised by the second and not
condemned by the third. it was then

publishers finally declined to publish the

Authors’ agents, middlemen better
known in England than in this country,
hawk about manuscripts among the pub-
lishing houses and niullurre sometimes to
have an author's successive works pub-
lished by many different houses.
Publishers who are 11150 printers put
out many books that they would not take
the risk oi publishing on their own ac-
count. They sometimes uppour us print~
ers of such books, sometimes us publislr
are. There may be reasons of lusts why
choose prefers to appear in the former
capacity ruther than the Inttcr.
Publishers say that novels now lead in
the number of books offered, nud three
quarters of the rejected munuecripts are
novels. The immense mu-ccssuml large

upon the public exvite therupidlty of
runny lmitutors. Every publisher is a
bear on the novel market, us, indeed, up-
on every sort of manuscript. Theology
is a much overwritten science, and scores
rejected by publishers. A few standard
Works on theology ure supposed to have
been fairly profitable to their writers as
well as their publishers. .‘ii. least one of
the famous Presbyterian theologians has
had a large sale. Some houses are known
as publishing only orthodox works. This
is true of the ilarpcrs and the Scribners.
The Putnums have published theology of
all sorts, from the strictly orthodox
treatise to works of destructive criticism.
The Appletnus have published much of
the lattcr'class, though the bond of the
house is a sound churchmen.

Ohio. The flow of oil commenced Nov.
18. The spectecl'eis described as one of
the most magnificent ever witnessed in
that part of the country. ‘Flrst appeared

stream of mud end send, which grednw

deafening roar, the ass burst forth in en
immense volume, hiding the derrick

Asthis clesred swsy a solid golden
column a foot in diameter shot from the
derrick floor 100 feet in the eir, there
e shower of yellow rain for a quarter of

this great column of oil shot upward. In
a very few moments the field about the
well was covered several inches deepwith
petroleum. .,
Within three or four hours the ditches
the product might be estlmuted, but
these were over-flowed and swept away as
rapidly as built. Some persons living in
the vicinity. alarmed at the spectacle,
packed their household goods and fled.
The Buckeye pumping station, a mile
distant, was compelled to extinguish its
fires on account of the gas, and till other
fires within the district Wt'i‘e put out.
It was it literal flood of oil, the esti-
mated production for the first twenty-
four hours being 14,500,000 gallons. About
19,000 burrels per day have been saved
and murketed, since the oil has been
