WkrERM aRKS.


The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably thousand years ago. Parch
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonxlly. In those
days the watermark was regarded
al a blcmish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep i'm
preston made on the paper proved
. drawback in writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross ON
the surface of the manuscript
Hswitchback scripture" it has been
termed. But when wire was sub
stituted for fiber in the sieve, says
q writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the watermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous =
The possibilities Of the useful
ness OF the watermark became ap-
parent by degrees. It was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu-
scripts. Many a bogus copy Of a
rare work has been detected be-
cause the counterfoiter failed to
take into account the watermarks
Of the original.
The watermark of many a pre-
cious manuscript in the worlds mu-
seums is alike its glory and its
safeguard. And in the sphere of
bank notes and paper money every.
where the watermark is most use
ful in p.-otect;ng. tho bot from
imitation.
The term waterman" is in re
atty a misnomer since the mari
is actually produced by wire. Wire
Il fashioned into the desired pat
tern, figure or lettering. This ia
inserted beneath the sheet in the
last stages Of its manufacture and
while the paper is still capable OF
receiving the impression, and the
wire device stamps itself into The
sheet.
Ordinary note paper held up to
the light reveals hundreds of par
allel lines running up and down
betraying the fact that the paper
was made on a wire foundation
To this the paper owes its smooth.
ness and its even texture.

waterfalls are found, those especially
notable being Eel River falls and cata

The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind Of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to GER

Two men a mile apart can carry
on conversation in an ordinary
tone Of voice, particularly If there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
tl hundred mark. We awake,
shs, ering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
Of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A i,rayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky These again
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows TO half circle, ther
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lax,

by the many civic forces that are sup
porting the state committee in its ef-
forts to obtain great fund by popu-
lar subscriptions with which to pur-
chase as many scenic spots as possi-
BILE. The state parks are to he the
centennial gift OF the Hoosier people
