Photographlug in COlors.



The latest invention in photography is the
discovery Of a process by which colors AS well
as objects may be photographed. By the use Of
several plates instead of one, three negatives
are taken on plates specially prepared. These
ere exposed in triple camera. In front OF
them " light filters are set, carefully adjusted,
so as to admit to each plate the amount OF light
just requisite to impress on the negative the
picture of such a color as viii, when combined
with the other two coOred negatives, reproduce
the desired color and light and shade of the
object photographed. In a recent lecture Mr..
Ives, the inventor, exhibited the photograph OF
a landscape, in which the different shades of
green in foliage and varied colors of sky, house,
and barn, with the rich orange of Autumn
leaves, were perfectly portrayed. This will
work a revolution even in photO-engraving,
while the composite Photographic process, pro-
ducing the fine lines of wood engraving which
the gelantinized zinc plate was not able to fur
nish, now rivals handwOrk so accurately that
the difference is not disceruibIe except to the
expert.

CURSE OF SCOTLAND.
Why is the Nine Of Diamonds So CalIedl
AmsrfCqn Notes aud QUERIES


A. G. G. asks, Why is the nine of diamonds
called the curse Of Scotland?" This question
has been answered IN many ways, and none are
entirely satisfactory. No less than IL answers
have been collected in 81 Quizzism aud its Key"
New England Publishing Col. The express
sion goes back at least as far as I7l5, for carl
cature, dated Oct. 81 Of that year. represents
the young Chevalier attempting to lead a herd
Of bulls, laden with papal curses etc, across
the Tweed with the nine Of diamonds lying
before them. Perhaps the most satisfactory
explanation is that which refers 10 TO the mas
sacre Of Glencoe. The order for this cruel deed
was signed by the Earl Of Stair, John DaIrym-
pie, Secretary of State 70 Scotland, who was IN
strumental in bringing about the union of
England with Scotland. The cOat-Of-arms Of
the Dalrymple family bears nine Iozenges, re-
sembling nine diamonds IN its shield and it
appears 10 have been with reference TO them
that the nine of diamonds was called the curse
Of Scotland. The other reasons that have been
suggested for this expression are:
That, during the reign Of Mary, thief at
tempted to steal the crown from Elizabeth Cas-
tie, and succeeded in abstracting nine valuable
diamonds from it. To replace these a heavy
tax was laid upon the people, which was term
ed the curse Of Scotland.
That when the game Of COrnete was intro
dueed into the court at HOIyroOd, the nine of
diamonds being the winning card got this
name because OF the number OF COurtIers ruin
ed by the game.
That in the game of Pope Joan the nine Of
diamonds is the Pope whom the Scotch Prcsby-
teriaus considered a curse
That it IS q corruption Of the phrase Cross
of Scotland The nine "pips" on the card
were formerly printed in the shape of st.
Andrews cross.
That the Duke of Cumberland wrote his in
human orders at Culloden, on the back of a
nine Of diamonds. But the battle of Culloden
was fought April 8, 1916 nearly six months
after the date Of the caricature before men
toned.
That Scotch member Of Parliament, part of
whose family arms were nine lozenge5r voted
for the introduction of the malt tax into Scot
| land.
Col. Packer, who guarded Charles I on
the scaffold, bore arms of Gule5 across Iozenge.
| lie was hated for his seventies in Scotland.
In the Oracle; or Re50lrer Of Questions. IT7O,
| it is stated that the crown of Scotland had but
nine diamonds, and the Scotch were never able
TO get more.

Handling Wasps Without Harm.

W. l.. Wltder IN Science.
1t is fact not generally known that if one
holds his breath wasps, bees, and hornets can
be handled with impunity. The skin becomes
sting proof, and, holding the insect by the feet
and giving her full liberty of action, you can
see her drive her weapon against the impene-
trable surface with a force that lifts her body
with every stroke; but let the smallest guam
tity of air escape from the lungs and the sting
will penetrate at once. l have never seen an
exception to this in % years observation. ]
have taught young ladies with very delicate
hands to astOnish their friends by the perform
ance of this feat and l saw one so severely
stung as to require the services of a ply
stefan through laughing at a witty remark
of her sister, forgetting that laughing required
breath. For theory in explanation l am led
to believe that holding the breath partially
closes the pores Of the skin. Ny experiments
in that direction have not been exact enough
to be of any scientific value, but I am satisfied
that it very sensibly affects the amount Of in
sensible perspiratiOn.

HONORARY Membership.

The following letter from the Department
Commander of Wisconsin gives the law on
honorary and other membership very ezpIic-
lily.
s. w. BARR, Commander, Post No 81, GAR,
Department of Wisconsin, Beloit, Wis
DEAR SIR AND COMRADE: Your favor Of the
7th inst, written at the request of said Post,
asking for information relative to changing tho
rules and the admission of ex-rebels into the
Grand Army Of the Republic, is received.
In reply permit me to say it is one Of the
fundamental principles of the GAR, and its
Rules and Regulations article ", Chapter l.
unqualifedly declare: No person shall be
eligible TO membership who has at any time
borne arms against the United States" There
is no exception TO this rule.
The question is not a new one. It has been
before the National Encampment since 1872
In the case Of r. NJ. j., who was impressed into
the rebel army Of Tennessee in 1861; deserted
therefrom in the Spring Of 1862 went to In
diana and Immediately enlisted in a regiment
from that State, serving until the close of the
war, when he was discharged on account Of
wounds received in battle and in the line of
duty. He claimed he had to enter the rebel
army or hang that he was closely watched
but deserted at the first opportunity; he was a
worthy citizen, and the comrades where he re-
sided say as loyal a citizen as ever lived. The
itAN2NAO42 CDAi'4 DC tbilt iDE
in the way of admitting him to membership
in the GAR?
The Judge Advocate General decided that
although the service was involuntary, still it
did not make the case an exception to therule,
and that the applicant was ineligible.
There can be no honorary membership in the
GAR. tsee GAR. Blue Book, p. 4, note 1O),
and contributing membership" would be
simply prepOsterous.
One Of the fundamental objects Of the Grand
Army of the Republic is to maintain true al
legiance to the United States of America, based
upon permanent respect for and fidelity to its
Constitution; to dscountenance whatever tends
to weaken loyalty, incites instruction, treason
or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the eiici-
ency aud permanency of our free Institutions,
and to encourage the spread of universal lib
erty, equal rights and justice to all men. In
conclusion, would say, into the Grand Army
Of the Republic ranks no man on whom the
stain of treason rests can come
Yours, in f.. G. and L., a. G. WEIssERT,
Department Commander,
