The year 1900 was a comparatively favorable one for shipping disasters on or near the coasts and on the riv- ers of the United States. There were 346 total wrecks as against 538 the year before, and’ 888 partial wrecks and casualties as against 1036 the year before. The lives lost were 252, the lowest on record in the present Unit- ed States maritime statistical bureau. According to a recent computation, the British Museum library contains over 2,000,000 volumes, acquired part- ty under the provisions of the Copy- right act, which give the museum a right to a copy of every book pub- lished in the United Kingdom, partly by purchase, and partly by donation or bequest. It also appears that in the museum there are over 16,000. vol- umes of London newspapers, moie than 47,000 volumes of provincial newspapers from England and Wales, about 10,000 volumes of Scottish news- papers, and some 9,000 volumes from Ireland, figures which go to support the demand for increased accommoda- tion.
