QUESTION OF CAPITAL LETTERS.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir Referring to the note in the editorial page OF
your issue OF to-day Calling Guns spelled wiW
a lower.oase "g' may l ask whether you deem II
necessary in all TO begin proper names Win
capitals when used as descriptive terms or adecuves'
Certainly we commonly write bessemer steel, faradic
current etc. and such sdjectives rs plaonic. mosaic
and the like are almost invariably written with small
letters so also We write daguerreoype without dis
respect TO DaglleIre and Napoleon when we refer
TO a twenty franc piece and not to the Emperor OF
the French. Why then Is gatlng gun, oolec.Ion-

lf"W. G. T." will give the subject moments
further consideration he will observe that IN
every case but two which he cites the proper
noun is compounded, as In dagueireotype, mosaic,
etc The two exceptions are Bessemer steel,
which is never properly printed except as here
given with capital b. and the French coin
Napoleon, which is sometimes spelled with
small n, and properly so, since the word is psed
by itself to designate the piece of money named
after the Emperor. IT, in the course of time, peo-
pie get tired of saying Calling gum and use
the name Of the inventor alone TO designate his
invention, it will be proper to spell it with
