Ii seems that the tablccloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served the
grown people i'll place OF napkins. When
they did begin to use napkins they placed
them first on the shoulder, then on the
left arm, and finally tied them about the
neck. a French writer. who evidently
Was conservative and did not welcome
the napkin kindly, records, with s:orn:
"Thc napkin is placed under the chin
and fastened in the back, us if one were
going to be shaved. A person told me
that he wore his that way that he
might not soil his beautiful frlls."
1t was 1; difficult matter to tic the
two corners in the back, and it is said
for straitcncd circumstances: lizard
to make both ends meet" This custom
led to the habit of the table walters OF
carrying II napkin on the left arm.
Napkins became popular in France
sooner than in England. At one tirnc
1T was customary at great French din
ncrs to change the napkins at every

water and to have them folded n differ

About 1850 Pierre David published
the "Maistrc d'Ilostcl," (which
teaches how to wait on Il table proper

WONDERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Soap Bubbles Photographed In the Act OF
I}urstfnC.

soap bubbles Photographed In the Act OF
Bursting.
Electricity has been doing some pref
ty work in the photographing of
drops Of water, and Prof. C. V. Boys in
recent lecture gave illustrations of
what had been accomplished, says the
Detroit Free Press. He first showed
photographs taken by the electric spark
of soap bubbles in the act of bursting,
and explained the process by which it
is possible to ascertain the respective
speed 1T which different soap bubbles
burst. One photograph showed an issue
of liquid from very small pipe, which
to the naked eye appeared to be per-
feet stream, but which, on an electric
photograph being taken, was resolved
into a beautiful and regular series of
drops. In connection with this Prof
Boys remarked that the science of
liquids and of the forces involved in the
phenomena Of the surface of liquids
was one of the most interesting branch
es of physical science. The effect on n
fountain of playing or singing was to
change its appearance into one, two or
three apparently separate, clear streams
of liquid, but n photograph taken as
tuning fork was struck demonstrated
that the water was disposed in drops in
perfect regularity. A picture of rifle
bullet, passing through the air at the
rate of two thousand feet Il second, was
also exhibited Prof. Boys, however,
showed that if it were wished to inves-
tigate what was really happening when
rifle bullet was beng projected
through the air at the maximum posi-
bic speed, it would be necessary to have
recourse to 4 method of illumination in
iinitely more rapid than the electric
spark. For this purpose n mirror Of
steel, about the size of twenty five
cent piece, is now used. 1t is SO mount
ed as to rcvolvc with case without get
ting hot at the enormous speed of one
thousand times Il second, and the end of
1h2 beam of light given off from this
mirror passes across the screen at such
a rate that it enables photographs to be
taken in about one tcn-millionth of a
second.
