The Kricgsbibliothck—war library-
of Berlin, is a unique collcvtion of books.
It contains all known works printed dur-
ng‘ and since tll’e Franco—German war of
1870 and 187], havin: direct relation to
that campaign. The library contains
portly volumes compiled by staff officers,
pamphlet descriptions of single battles,
war maps, plans of battlefields, diplo-
matic documents, biographies of Princes,
Generals, and other prominent military
personagés of the ‘ period, caricatures
and humorous war pictures. Additions
are continually made to this kriegsbib-
liotl'lek, and the “kaiser“ naturally takes
much interest in it. He would, no
doubt, like to. know very much, also,
what new mat rials for this library of

is of copper and shaped like ' a wine
bottle. Inside is a little pillar so placed

so placed that they appear to watch the
dragon’s face, so that they are ready to
