DaNtinne Aurora.

An aurora seen in the daytime is de.
of the Royal Astronomical Society of
Canada. The writer was at Viking,
Alberta, In latitude 80 degrees north,
and observed the aurora half an hour
before sunset on April %. Its visibility
was due to the fact that a cloud hung
above the horizon, serving as curtain
or screen against which the aurora
could be seen. The observer states
that numerous bright, hazy. milklike
streamers, appearing TO have thelI
source just below the cloud. darted
upward. rising about fifteen degrees"

BOOKPLATES.
Forms and Styles In Use and Labels
Place In a Volume.

TldSC WI a NNi6HISs
Bookplates are not of modern inven.
tion. Their beginning was in the latter
half Of the fifteenth century and their
accredited first home Germany. But as
a boOkplate has the same merit in a
library that a scarecrOw has in the
grainfeld, "a polite hands Off, TO the
too ready and forgetfu borrower. the
fashion Of this mark of ownership has
increased, not decreased, until today
one finds bookplate collections in mul
titudes as well as bookplate users.
There are three forms OF plate, the
engraved plate, the photogravure and
the line cut plate. The engraved plate
has for long while been as popular as
1t is beautiful, but recently there seems
q shifting In fancy toward the photo
gravure-Just why nobody knows. Per
haps 1t Is the lesser cost. for the en-
graved plate mounts up from 500 tc
$500, whereas the photogravure may
be had for $50, and the line cet. If one
Is clever enough to draw ones own de-
sign, costs mere trihe for simple
design. Once one has ones plate. how
ever, the printings therefrom are bnt
trihe.
There are four distinct styles in
plates. The first is the armorial. in
this the crest or coat Of arms is used
and sometimes, the owners name add
ed thereto. The second style is the
decorative, In which allegory or pure
decoration creates the basis of the idea.
The third is the pictorial plate. This
shows the owners tastes and inclina,}
tions. A college boy, for instance. may
have plate which will show a tennis
racket, golf sticks, a football. The
fourth. and last style is seldom seen.
Still Ii exists, so ii is worth mention
ing. 1t Is classed as portraiture and
consists of the book owners picture or
portrait framed In some decorative
scheme. And as far as good taste goes
it is questionable.
Where to place the bookplate when
once 1t Is a possession also reuds the
soul of many. Common usage and
common sense show the best place to
be on the inner side of the books front
cover, foS<~a plate pasted between the
fly leaves Of the book defeated its own
purpose. Being well obscured. it Is
rarely noticed. When husband and
wife combine libraries it is often usual
to find the plate of one i'm the front OF
the volume and the plate of the other
in the back, or one may be added in
smaller size beneath the other.-New

a Nations Heroes,

Generally the heroes of a nations
history are not those who have bene-
fitted mankind, but those who have in.
jured other nations. If we pride our.
selves upon the good and not the harm
that we have done we should have put
Shakespeare on the Nelson monument
and given Apsley House to Darwin
But the citizens whom every nation
honors most are those who have killed
the greatest number of foreigners.-At-

PERSIAN PAINTINGS.
Oriental Art That Embodics the Es-
sence Of Romance.

oriental Art ! NAT EmpodlCS tne GS-
sence of Romance.
No dramatic, no passionate motive
ever SO grips and possesses Persian
artist as to absorb his whole imagiaa-
ton His sensuous love of beauty can
not resist filing in the acces sories OF
the scene with just as much care and
intention In every detail as he devotes
to the central figures.
In the great works Of Chinese and
japanese painters. as in masters like
Rembrandt, accessories are subdued or
suppressed, the color is limited, and
the figures which create the motive Of
the design are so emphasized, so domi-
nant in the eye that they seem to tran
scend the limits of the framing space,
they seem alive with all the latent en-
ergies Of actual men and women.
No Persian painting imposes itself
thus on the imagination. Everything
remains within the frame, inlaid as in
Il lustrOus mosaic. The Persian method
has, ii is true. its own compensation.
Just as I'm the early pictures Of Ros-
Scttl anu hhldlS' tNSAy 'hihS II IedlHtu
