The question of the use of the family
coat of arms vexes the American very
seriously Originally all book plates
were heraldIc. That was in an age
when people generally could not read
and when the blazon of each family, us
shown on wearing apparel or small be-
longings was ms well known and quick
ly distinguished rs an autograph or
photograph today. In the main, it Is
safe to advise Americans not to use
coat armor on their book plates. The
uncertainty of the actual right to arms
and the extreme difficulty of getting a
drawing that one knows IS undeniably
correct In every detail are strong rea-
sons against its use. Heraldry is too
exact science to admit of liberties,
and 1t is no small achievement to draw
the coat of arms with absolute correct
ness and yet With artistic feeling.
Though 1t is not very generally prac'
uced, 1t is legal to copyright the book
plate design At least two plates are so
protected in this country. This would
seem to leave door open for those who
wish to secure for Themselves per
sonal distinguishing mark, quasi
heraldry. for the drawing may be in
heraldic form as well as In any other

wh., Hit Him.

Some years ago, while a gentleman
was walking from st. James park to
Pail Mall on n bright afternoon in sum-
mer, he suddenly received blow on
the shoulder which caused him to stun

loud. cracking noise. On recovering
he looked around for his assailant, but
there was nobody visible except a po-
liceman. who was many yards away.
When the gentleman reached home.
his shoulder was examined. but no In
jury could be found to account for the
pain in 1t. Soon afterward the servant,
who had taken away his masters out
door coat to brush 1t. brought back the
garment and pointed out that the nap
on the shoulder was pressed fat us IL
a hot wire had been drawn across 1t.

The question is often asked, Why do
cyclones, "whirlwinds" and tornadoes
oil persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex-
listed us rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular segregations from q
vague. irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses. thus
determining the direction in which the
rings reyolved, and oil the rest from
this took the same course.
But" you say, "why did the nebula
revolve at all?" 1t grew from chaos.
and chaos presumably possessed an in
herent motion from right to left. This
being the case, from that time to this
sun. moon, stars. planets, cyclones and
tornadoes have adhered to the original
habit.
