Likeness of Onepnpa, n Sioux, on New
Silver Certificates.

Some curiosity has been expr sssed In re-
gard to the Indian head on the new five
dollar bills, and enquiries have been made
as to whether 1t is portrait. Acting Sec
rotary Vanderlip yesterday answered this
question in the Affirmative, but said the
subject Of the portrait was not selected for
this distinction because of his heroism or
special friendship for the whites

Mr.. Vanderlip remarked that since the

banknote plates. Over a thousand orders
had been received. and the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing was so filled up with
these orders. it being impossible to pro-

PLATES OF THE ECLIPSE
Good Pictures Taken of the Recent
Solar Exhibition.
Secured by Observers
That Will Interest Laymen nv Well
nv AstronOmcrs-Resul Met by
Smithsonian Institution and Naval
Observatory officials.

| While all the plates taken OF the eclipse
of the sun Of May 90 last by the Naval OBJ
servatory and Smithsonian parties have
not yet been developed, the results al
ready achieved are eminently satisfactory.
No new or startling facts have been dis
closed, but there have been obtained mag
nificent pictures OF the corona, showing
/ its structural details with perhaps greater
| minuteness than have ever been obtained
in past eclipses. The photographs OF the
Smithsonian party were taken upor a
| larger scale than has ever been attempted
and when all are developed will form a
superb record OF the eclipse in series Of
pictures which will attract great attention.
Even the unscientific beholder will be fas-
Grated to degree by the illustrations.
The Naval Observatory has also obtained
splendid series OF results, judging by
the plates developed so far, and while
these are not of great size as those taken
by the Smithsonian party, they are unsur-
passabie in completeness and delicacy Of
detail
One of the plates is photographed from
drawing by Prof 7. J. J. Lee. OF the Naval
Observatory, and represents the corona as
it appeared to the eye, an effect which Is
produced by none of the photographs,
which show different phases of the suns
mysterious appendage according to the
length Of exposure given the plate.
Another is short exposure photograph
taken by the Smithsonian party, display

tiful, showing the prominences or masses
of glowing red vapor In the midst OF the
white pearly light of the corona OF
course, no chromatic effect is visible in the
photograph, but the forms Of the promi-
nences are clearly to be noted.
The part of the moon shown Is the
southern portion OF the eastern limb and
the inequalities of surface or mountainous
regions appear very plainly in the original
photo.
1t is an interesting speculation as to
whether any Of the wide range plates will
disclose the existence of the hypo. heticll |
intra- Mercurial planet Vulcan. Prof E. c. |
Cotton OF the Naval Observatory, says that |
while this is barely possible. in the case of !
the Observatory's photographs it is scare ly |
probable, as such plates would have to be /

There are ten scars in the new State
house at Columbia. S. c., made by shot
and shell in 1865 when General Sherman
army was advancing on the city.
This has been called the new" State
house because. although 1t was begun
about 1850. 1t has not yet been finished.
In 1855 all of the rough work had been
done, and the huge granite pile was the
most conspicuous object when the Federal
army halted on the opposite side of the
COngaree.
While the mayor OF the town was GO
ing out to meet the commanding gen.
eral. who entered over a bridge two miles
above Columbia. the artillery threw
dozen shells and solid shot at the State
house. Four of them passed through the
openings for windows and shattered them
selves against the interior walls. while the
six that struck the exterior just made i'm
pressions in the granite.
The marks are plainly visible and In
the work to be undertaken Immediately
for the completion of this building the
wounds will not be obliterated. 1t Is be-
lieved this is the only public building in
the country that can claim such distinc-
ton.
The building was designed to be the
finest state house in America at that time
and was to cost about si.000.0OO. The
general appearance resembled the Carl
tol at Washington.
Work OF completing the structure will
begin In few weeks. In the building of
the portico will be used columns TO be
hewn out OF huge blocks of granite that
were quarried near Columbia more than
a half century ago and hauled to the State
house grounds. There is no adequate ap-
paratus now in the State for moving
these blocks. that weigh many tons. 1t
is said they were hauled to their present
position by thirty or forty yoke of oxen
