COLUMBIAN STAMPS.

Philadelphia Imes:-Those smart
people who think they show their SUI
perOiity by finding fault with every
kind of public work have not yet got
done sharpening their wits on the Co
lumbar postage stamps. They have
great fun over the fact that the face
Of Columbus is not the same on all the
stamps, being evidently ignorant that
the engravingS are made from pictures
by different artists and that there is
equal authority for representing COlum-
bus with or without n beard.
The most surprising thing of all is
that anybody should be unfamiliar with
Nanderyn's picture Of the landing on
San Salvador, which is engraved on
the two-ccnt stamp. The original hangs
in the rOtrInda Of the Capitol, and the
engraving OH the back OF the five-dOllar
national bank notes has made it one
of the best known American paintings.
There had been no very careful research
in NanderIyn's time, and historical &C
cuacy was somewhat less ardently pur-
sued than picturesque effect, yet he was
not without authority for painting Co
lunDuS bearded, anG the engraverS OF
the new stamp would have been justly
to blame if they had attempted to
alter Vanderyn's oW1k. On the other
hand, a painter Of today might conclude
that the weight of evidence, on the
Whole, favored the shaver face, and he
would be justified in presenting his ideal
Of the explorer without q beard as in
the group on the One-cent stamp.

DUO DE AIORNY'S DISCOVERY.
Novel Device for Cheapening the Cost
of Photographic Prints.

London Telegraph: That distinguished
amateur photographer, the Due de Nor
ny, has communicated to the French
war Office Il process by which paper of
any kind or thickness can receive Il
Photographic print. Eighty copies can
be printed per minute at a trifing eX-
pGnSe, and note paper. season tickets,
etc, may thus bear Photographic pOr-
traits of the owner. Gen. SauSSier, the
commandment of the garrison at Paris,
is engaged. it is stated. in making eX-
perimentS with a view to applying the
process to the 'livrets," or certificates
of service and character delivered to
soldiers, and ere long perhaps the Due
de Morny's system OF cheap photograph
ic printing may be adopted in the case
of the 'livrets' which workmen and
domestic servants in France are eX-
pected to possess.
OF the usefulness Of cheap photo
graphic portraits on season tickets and
other documents which may lead TO per
sonal Identification Of the real prOprie-
tor there can scarcely be any doubt.
| tiplicatiOn Of very cheap Photographic
portraits has been long practiced in the
| United States, where the photographers,
| for a very moderate consideration, will
supply a client with q hundred little
! effigieS Of himself, printed on Il sheet
| of paper gJInmed at the back, the sheet
! being Invisible by means of perforation
into of Of
age stamps, so that the tiny portraits
can then be used at the possesSor's own
sweet will He may stick one inside
| the cover of every book in his library,
OF affiX them as seals to the envelopes
of the letters which he dispatches to
| his friends aud acquaintance.
Travellers in Russia, in the East, and
| in all countries where foreigners are
| looked upon with suspicion, would also
act wisely in causing themselves to be
photographed on their passports and
| their visiting cards. and there are, in
deed, hundreds of transactions in social
life which might be considerably facli-
tated by attaching photographs swiftly
and cheaply obtained to articles in gen
eral use IL, when a check was made

himself could be gummed on the face
of the document, the appearance OF the
counterfeit presentment would be Sufii-
Gent to assure the banks cashier that
the check had not got into wrong hands
| The Due de MOrny's ingenious i'm
provement in Photographic printing IS
only a further Illustration of the almost
innumerable possibilities of photography
itself, yet it is passing strange and some
what mournful to have to admit that
some of the earlier experiments in pho
biography were distinctly associated
with the production or the alteration
of certain colors under given conditions,
| but that at the present time, immense

| in this the most scientific Of all the
arts, we seem to be as far as ever from
the infinitely yearnedfor discovery Of
the sensitized plate images in the exact

Scotland when there are three on top

IGNORANCE ABOUT VAMPIRES.
Confused Stories About the Blood
Sucking Bat Of South America.

Ever since the South American CON
tinent was discovered, especially that
part Of it lying between the Amazon
and OrinOco rivers, travellers have come
from there with wonderful tales of the
vampires, or, as they call them, blood
sucking bats. AS fact, little is known
about these pests, says the New York
Tribune. That there are blood-suclling
bats which feed not only on the blood
of man but also animals is an I'M
doubted fact, and though the writer
himself has never been bitten by one,
he has, while travelling in the interior
Of British Guiana, seen Indians and
ponies that had undoubtedly been bit
ten by these bats. In the case of q
man attacked the toe or nose is the
point punctured, willie animals are
liable to be bitten anywhere. How the
bat does its work has not been made
clear, for no man has yet awakened
while being operated on by one Of these
bats, despite the fact that considerable
loss of blood takes place after the opera
ton. It is probable that the bat hoy
ers during the operation rather than
rests on the body. The rapid vibration
Of the soft wings probably also has Il
soothing effect on the skin of the part
operated on
The blood-suckers belong to only two
or three species, and wherever these
are found there are also many others
whose food is only fruit or insects, or
both. The most natural mistake about
the bats which are innocent of preying
on man or beast is the common suppO-
siion that vampyrus spectrum is a
bloOd-Sucker. The stretch of wings of
this bat frequently reaches three feet,
with enormously large and pointed ca
nine teeth. It is perfectly certain that
in most parts Of British Guiana this
bat is only a fl'uit-eater and is a serious
pest to frrIit-growers. Bates and Ed |
wards, who travelled much in that cOun- !
try, vOuch for its harmlesSneSs, and the !
writer could never hear of case where !
pected of being bIood-sucker Wallace !
however, gives a different account.
''The vampires are especially plentiful
IN the Amazon valley. Their carnivor-
Ous propensities We're once discredited,
but are too well authenticated. Horses
and cattle are often bitten, and we
found them in the morning covered
with blood, and repeated attacks weak
IN and ultimately destroy them. Some
persons are especially subject to the
attacks of these bats, and as native
nuts are never sufficiently close to keep
hem out. those unfortunate persons
ire obliged to sleep completely muffled

ously i'll or even losing their lives
