FACTS FOR PHILATELIsTs.

In 1869 there was a lucent stamp is
sued which bore a picture of the land
ing of Columbus.
A specialist who collected the stamps
Of France and her colonies recently sold
his collection for $11, 900.
1t takes a stamp collector to tell where
are Ancash, Antofagasta, Apurimac,
Chiapa, Diego Suarez, Bamra, Yea, Wad-
whan, Goliad. Jhino, Ujong. Faridkot,
Nabba and Obock.
1t requires more than forty large al
buns to house the collection Of United
States stamps owned by the earl Of Craw-
ford. This collection of United States
stamps is thought to be the most com
plete in existence.
The credit of originating adhesive
stamps is generally given to James Chal-
mers, of Dundee, Scotland. He first ad-
vocated them in 1887, and in accordance
with a legislative enactment of Deem
Der q, 1899. they were issued for public
use in England, May 6, 1910.
A letter mailed at Columbus. Wis, on
October %, 1903, and addressed TO a Mani
towoc girl, has only recently been deliV.
cred to her, The letter bore the postmark
of johannesburg, Africa. 1t Is presumed
that the parcel was included. by mistake,
in a foreign mail pouch. 1t travelled a
long distance before being returned to
the state from which it was mailed.
No less than fifteen million postal
cards are used annually in the transact
Zion of the worlds business. The honor
Of their invention belongs to Pro-, Eman-
'uel Herman, of Vienna. One January
rs, 1869, he wrote a letter to the Neue
|Freie Presse in Vienna, in which he sug-
the use of a postal card to cost
two kreutzers. The result was that on
October l, 1869, the first postal card ever
ISSUED was put on sale in Vienna. Some
years later German. adopted the idea,
and gradually other countries made use
|of them. The United States was one of
the last nations to adopt them, but now
uses them by the million.
