French King First to
Employ Sealing Wax

The first gummed envelopes were
made IN 1910 in England and three
years later q machine was invented
by Warren La Rue and Edwin Hill for
folding and cumming the envelopes.
Sealing-wax was not used until lib,
when Louis VI sponsored it in France.
Before that all letters and docu-
ments were sealed with the impress
sion Of ring In clay. This device
was superseded by the use of lump
Of pitch, wax and plaster. Yellow
beeswax was next used and was sue
ceeded by sealing-wax mixed with
other substances. This made a white.
or nearly white, seal.
A century later red wax appeared
and, some time after that, green. BIZ
lets-doux were next secured with yell
low, brown, rose and blue wax Black
also was used at this period but was
mostly employed by the religious or
ders.
Waters for seals were first used in
Italy and were brought to France by
French army officers, who thus were
instrumental in introducing them to
the rest of the world. The first waters
were cut from thin sheet of dough,
moistened and applied to the folded
missive.

Sundials Told Mayans
of PASSAGE of Time

Recent discoveries in the ruined
Maya city Of Copan have proved that
the Mayas' method of counting the
passage of time was Of a highly &C
curate nature. The inhabitants of the
city had In reality a form of gigantic
sundial for obtaining the necessary
data by taking observations from an
eastern hilltop to a pillar of stone or
stella erected on a prominent western
hill approximately four and a half
miles away across the valley in which
lay the city. Clear evidence has been
found that a correction was made at
some date after the western stella had
been set up, by the fact that the col
umn was moved from its original posi-
ton in the center of the stone base to
another position farther north. The
correction was made when the NOV
able New Years day fell on the same
date as the commencement of the
Maya agricultural year. In the first
place the sun set directly behind the
western stella on April 8 and Septem-
Der 2, but after the removal the dates
were altered to April and Septem-
Der 6.-Illustrated London News.

Lure of City Holds

The hopelessness of efforts to in
duce people to move from the crowded

the country, according to the Lincoln

doner who was asked for a copper by
b hobbling old man. When he asked
why he did not live in the country.
where his old age pension of ten
shillings a week would go much fur

Tender Notes Burned
BY Mrs. Washington

After George WaShington's death his
widow burned every letter that she
had received from him, with the ex-
ception of three or four that escaped
apparently by accident.
No one has ever elueldated the mo-
tive behind this letter burning episode.
Martha Washington knew at the time,
indeed, the whole world knew, that
George Washington was a star of the
first magnitude in the field of history
and that every scrap of his writing
would be treasured and printed. Did
she feel that his letters to her were
so sacred in their intimacy that pos
terity had no right to read them?
But there are other tenable hypo-
theses. She was antldemocratic and
antipublic to an extreme degree. Con
sidering her as surrounded by such
limitations Of perspective, one may
readily conceive that her motive may
have been simply one of aristocratic
seclusion.
In destroying his letters she effec-
tually effaced herself, for she lived
only in his reflected light. But that
may have been what she wanted. The
highest form of pride is a disdainful
humility.-The Nation.

Springtin1e on Mars

It seems almost useless to specu-
late upon the conditions existing on
the planet Mars when we realize that
under the most favorable circum-
stances the best views and photo
graphs show the planet smaller than
the butt end Of lead pencil. So that
the markings" seen on the planet can
not be very pronounced nor the
changes Of color which take place
from time to time. However, the opin-
ion grows that the dark patches which
appear on the red disk when spring
time comes to Mars and the polar
SHOWS melt, can now be declared
much more certainly than before to
be plants or shrubs or moss, or, at
any rate, something green that grows.
When the polar SHOWS melt on Mars,
the water flows into the dry places
and the deserts become alive with veg
citation. All this happens very quick
ly and we may reasonably speculate
great marshes are formed.

Old Chinese Money
Had Shape of TOYS

1t Is pretty definitely settled that
the Chinese were the first to make
use Of the token Idea In metal coins
for the convenient Interchange Of COM
modities. When first working with
metal money they tried to shape the
metal to indicate what one could buy
with It. For example, some Of the
early coin money was shaped like
human body. 1t was given this shape
to indicate that it would buy clothing.
Another shape was that Of modern
razor-not a safety-which indicated
that the coin would buy weapon. A
third shape was that Of spade.
The Chinese did not have coin
shapes Of sufficient variety to indi-
cate everything in which they traded.
They had few shapes only, and the
theory Is that these would cover all
the different articles one might wish
to buy. For example, the body-shaped
money would cover everything per
taining to clothing and shelter; the
razor-shar d would cover all weapons.
implements and tools which men use,
and so on. The brass cash" Ground
coin with a square hole In the middle),
which has been used for 1900 years or
more, Is still the common money In
the interior Of China.

Ancient Spanish City
Holds Open-Air Court

Justice, swift and certain, is meted
out every Thursday morning at the
Tribunal de las Aquas, or the Court
Of the Waters, In the Spanish city Of
Valencia. The courtroom is the pave
ment, open to the blue sky, and has
been thus for FIVE centuries. The
judges bench Is a sofa, appearing
from some mysterious hiding place,
and a portable iron railing provides
the bar Of Justice. There are seven
judges. The plaintiff makes his state
ment, then the defendant states his
side Of the case. Any interruption
brings a fine. One Judge announces
the verdict and there is no appeal
from the decision. Neither the gov
eminent of Spain nor that Of Valencia
has any part in the court, yet they
honor its acts. None Of the decisions
is ever recorded land no lawyers are
permitted to appear before the judges.

Condition of Nerves
Cause of Stdnl1,1ering

Almost every movement Of our body
is due to the involuntary obedience OF
our muscles to the directing will of the
brain. This generally happens with
our talking. We will to make certain
sounds, and the proper muscles auto
matically force the wind from the bel
lows of our lungs here and there,
against the roof of the mouth, through
the teeth, and so on.
1t sometimes, however, happens that
the nervous connection between the
brain and the various sets of sound
making muscles is weak or has been
damaged by some shock.
Then the brain must either give Its
orders very slowly, something like
playing an organ with one finger, or
if it goes faster must risk playing the
wrong notes or getting the whole ma
chine so tied up as to make gaps be-
tween the movements. In other words,
the sufferer stammers and shutters
more so when he Is excited and tries
to play" quickly. Nor will he be
cured till his nervous system is
strengthened and he has educated his
speech-muscles to obey him without
question.
