GOOD FORM IN NOTE PAPER.

Artistic Simplicity the Proper Thing.
Eccentric Styles Should Be Avoided.
eff there is any one thing in the world
that may be said to denote the breeding OF
a person it is ia the taste displayed in the
use of note paper" says Harper's Bazaar,
which furnishes the following information
in regard to THE etiquette of note paper"
Fashions change but slightly in that line,
and artistic simplicity is the form to be
sought after. There is nothing so often
sive as eccentricity in styles Of paper, for
it is one of the little things that seem SO
trivial and count for so much in the eyes
OF the world The height of bad form is in
the use of anything startling or pro
nounced. Paper that rivals the sunset in
gorgeousness of hue, odd shaped sheets
and envelopes, or gilt edged paper stamp
the user at once as one who is not familiar
with the precepts of fashion. And not
fashion alone by any means; it is refine
ment that is shown in the use Of proper
stationery, and refinement and fashion
may not always mean the same. Never
use paper that is decorated with flowers
in one corner, the leaves of which wander
all over the sheet. Avoid anything in that
way.

of paper, requiring but one fold, and the
envelope should be square. The single cor
respondence cards have gone out of style
and are seldom seen nowadays. The paper
is generally linen or cream laid, as best
suits individual taste, and should be I'M
ruled White or cream paper is the best,
although a gentle shade OF blue Is per
mitted Other tints are not desirable,
neither are they proper. Do not use paper
that is ragged at the edges nor envelopes
with curious flaps. The best linen paper
may be purchased at the same price as il
paid for the fancy varieties, and the best Il
the cheapest; it is guarantee OF refine
ment.
If a monogram is desired, have It en-
graved-never printed. In this country
coats of arms and crests are out Of place,
but you may have a neat monogram of your
initials for a heading with perfect pro
priety, only be sure that the work Is In
keeping with taste, and not too prominent
or glaring. The name of your country
place is very good. the name of the village
in which you live, or the street number II
you chance 10 reside in a city. In the lat
ter case, however omit the name Of the
town, and in either case the state should
not be given. This is but glance at the
etiquette Of note paper. The che great
thing IN note paper Is 70 avoid vulgarlty or
show in any way, and then you know that
you cannot be wrong. The simplest is the

left on another part of the plate. Bya rep
etition of this operation series of images
is made to extend from one side of the plate
to the other.
To illustrate the operation, let US sup
pose that the object to be photographed is
q running man. He is dressed as repre-
sented in Fig. l, in black costume with
white dots and lines on the head, arm, leg
and foot. lie then takes a position in front
of black background The camera is
placed in position and the disk set in revo-
luton. Only the dots and lines of the
moving figure are photographed.
As the openings pass before the plate as
series of images like those represented in
Fig. 2 is produced. If we wish to photo
graph the motions of man jumping, the
same general plan is pursued. The result
is indicated in Fig. 8. 1t will be noticed
that the revolutions of the plate are SO adj
justed that the lines overlap each other but
very little, the rate in this instance being
twenty-five images per second. This is
one Of the great merits of Professor Ma
rey's method.
Excellent as this method is it is not, as
Professor Marcy found. adapted to all pur-
poses. To meet every requirement he con-
structed IA camera on different plan. The
chief feature of it is the use of rapidly
moving films. In this way Professor Marcy
was able to obtain in short time large
number of separate pictures These repre-
sented the position of the moving object at
any given moment. 1t was with such a
camera that Professor Marcy photographed
the phases of the movement of a swimming
medusa and those of a starfish in turning
itself over. He photographed also the move
ments of eels and of different species of ser
penis.
Speaking Of the movements Of serpents
in and out of water, be says, The creep
ing of some and the swimming of others
show considerable analogy to the motion
OF cells in water, but have not found the
same regularity Of movement" This
shows of course that cells are more skill
full swimmers than serpentS. 1t may be
added in conclusion that Professor Marcy
has constructed special instrument for
photographing the movements of micro
scopical objects.

Geologist Turner's discovery is important
10y reason of the fact that hitherto the
somewhat thorough research made as to
the component parts of meteoric stone and
iron has failed to show the least trace of
gold.
1t has been ascertained that meteoric
iron is malleable, though very tough, and
contains from l to 20 per cent of nickel, as
well as some cobalt.
Mr.. Turner says that his find demon

The First NTeteoric Stone Containing
Gold Ever Found.
Since 1913 gold has been found in the
"bowels Of the earth" in California, and
now the precious metal seems to be literal
ly falling from the heavens onto that re-
markably favored state.
The exact locality in which the little
piece of meteoric stone containing gold was
found is near Cave City, Calaveras county.
1t was picked up by Geologist H. W.
Turner, Of Washington Mr.. Turner has
been engaged for couple of years explor-
ing the gold bearing sections of the Sierras,
under the direction Of the California divi-
sion of mining geology, and while his labors
have been painstaking and his investiga-
tions thorough, his accidental finding of
the small pieces of meteoric stone contain
ing gold will probably attract more atten-
ton to him and excite more comment than
all else accomplished on his expedition.

Both Havana and Santo Domingo claim
the honor of possessing the mortal remains
Of our great Columbus. He died in 1905
and was buried at Valadolid. In 1913 his
body was removed TO Seville, and after the
death of his son. who was buried there also,
both bodies were taken to Santo Domingo
and buried in the chancel of the cathedral
In 1885 Santo Domingo was ceded to
France, Spain reserving the right to re-
move the remains OF Columbus. The
Dominican ecclesiastics did not want this
done, and rs events have proved perpe-
trated fraud and effected a substitution
whereby the remains of some one else were
taken.
AS late as 1877 an investigation was made
in the presence of the religious and civil
authorities, including our American con-
sui. A metallic box was found with this
inscription on silver plate inside, "Ua pte

Muybridge's method was to have great
number of cameras, necessitating the use of
a similar number of plates. Professor
Marey's method requires only one camera
and one plate To this camera is fitted a
disk perforated with holes and capable of
being revolved at any desired speed. The
object to be photographed, properly
marked. is made to move in front of a black
background. AS one of the openings in
the revolving disk passes in front of the
plate in the camera an image of the object
is made.
During the interval before another open
ing passes in front of the plate the moving
object has changed it's position relative to
itself and in relation to the camera. When,
therefore, the next opening permits another
