IN MEMORY OF BILL NYE
movement Afoot to Erect Monument
Over the HumOrist's

Grave.
Asheville, N. c., Dec 15.-The grave
Of Bill Nye, the famous humorist who
died nearly eight years ago and was
buried at Arden, near here, is I'M
marked, and a movement is afoot to
have a granite monument erected
above his resting place. The North
Carolina division of the Sunshine So
ciety is raising the fund.
When Nye passed away his devoted
widow placed a memorial window in
Calvary Episcopal church, nearby, but
her plans for a more fitting memorial
were frustrated by the failure, soon
after Nye's death, of banks in which
practically all the fortune left her by
her husband had been deposited. At
present little tree is growing at the
head of the grave, and some one has
laid upon the mound a rude piece Of
stone picked up on the highway. 9th
err marks there are none. Mrs. J. NJ
Ransier, president of the Sunshine So
ciety, Hendersonvi.le, N c., is the ac-
tive head of the memorial enterprise,
and contributions are invited from the
friends of Nye throughout the country.
They should be addressed to Battery
Park bank, Asheville, N c., custodiaps

origin. The earliest mention Of it, &C
cording to DR.. Murray, goes no further
back than 1856. In fact, tea as an aft
ernoOn meal is not much older. 1t is
thought to have originated in 1887 In
the house Of Nine. de Circourt, a Rus
sian lady, whose salon in Paris was at
that time much frequented by the most
intellectual society of the day. The
fashionable dinner hours were then
getting late. and she introduced a 4
o'clock light meal, at which tea was
served. Fanny Kemble in Records of
Girlhood' attributes the introduc-
ton of the afternoon meal into this
country to the then Duchess of Bed
ford. Fanny Kemble paid visit to
BelvOir castle in March, 1912, and she
relates how a mysterious invitation was
received to the duchess private rooms,
where she found small group Of
friends partaking of tea in a private
and rather shamefaced way, and dates
the o'clock meal from this time. But
it was several years later that the prac-
flee became general ~

grave of Hesse-C assel. was the IN
ventor of mezzotint, that branch OF
engraving which comes nearest to ma
ture, though it is far from being The
best means OF artistic expression.
1t dates from about 1911 and is said
to have been suggested by the rust on

covered process consisted Of a picture
of the landgrave's mother. the dow
ager landgravine, which Siegen pre-
scented at court, stating that no copper
plate engraver or artist could explain
or imagine how it was done.
Evelyn, in his ''Sculptura." 1862, at
tributes the invention to Prince Ru-
pert. An original letter of Siegen's
still in existence proves this to be an
error. for Siegen met Prince Rupert in
Brussels in 1854 and disclosed the proc

that the prince had already practiced

MORE MARINES ARE LANDED
Company from u. S. s. Prairie Sent to

YaviZa.
Colon, Dec. ia company of ma
rineS from the United States cruiser
Prairie has been landed here, and i'm
mediately started by train for Pana-
ma. The destination of the marines
is said to be Yaviza, up the San Miguel
gulf and Tuira river. It is believed
that the decision Of the naval au-
thorities to station marines at Yaviza
may possibly be owing to the reports
that Colombian troops have been sent
in that direction.
The opinion seems to prevail that
a few Colombian soldiers seen were
probably scouts who were endeavor
ing to learn what preventive and pro-
tective measures were being taken by
the republic of Panama, and that it
was their presence which gave rise to
exaggerated rumors of a speedy at
tack by Colombia on the isthmus.
