The prize bounty case which came up recently, and which had to do with claims as to the sinking of the German cruiser Breslau, brought out a curious decision of the Admiralty. The Goehen and Breslau were bril- liantly rit.liantly tackled by two of our small destroyers, the Lizard and the Tig- ress, yet the Admiralty suppressed Abe names of the commanding offi- cers. . -. . It now turns out that the name of the commander of the Lizard was Lieut. Norman Ohlensohlager, and it wan thought that the Teutonic sound of the name would offend the sus- ceptibilities of the British public. The death of poor little Prince John has called to mind the fact that John has been an unlucky name for Royalty all through English hietory.

Watermarks, as they are generally known to -day, merely serve as trade- marks,-_ helping to distinguish one grade of paper from another, and to enhance for commercial purposes tbe value of the liberal advertising which the various paper ?rills em- ploy. In earlier days the devices were symbolic in their diameter, and stood as the signatures of the papermakers rather than as an ex- ploitation of the paper itself. In those times, of course, the paper was all made by hand, and the .me- thod of introducing . the 'watermark ‘bas primitive, yet this sante method has obtained in hand -made papers with slight improvements down to the present day. The mold is a shal- low box of ' wood, upon which a fine wire cloth is stretched, which is made of parallel wire. This is called the' i',ieve. The design to be watermark- ed is made by wires bent into the shape of the desired characters, and attached to the surface of the wire cloth. o This remelts in making the paper thinner where the device is introduced, and the watermark thus becomes transparent. Of Ancient Origin. Watermarks are 200 years before printing and they most diversity of found in paper the ,invention of represent the ut- design. Among these may be mentioned the circ] including the stylus and the star; th bull's head and stylus, appearing in many a variation; the bow and ar- row; the jug; the anchor; the cross- bow; the scales, and the cross—in multitudinous variety. A few years ago a irolume appear- ed in which many deductions were made concerning these watermarks. According to the theory advanced, papermaking was introduced into Europe by the Crusaders or the Moors, and first, became prominent in establishing the industry in Pro- vence. Here was the site of a primi- tive civilization during the Middle Ages, and it was also the home of the Albigenses, who were the most pow- erful opponents the Roman Catholic Church had before the Reformation, and who were both rationalists and mystics. Reasoning on this basis, the author claims that the early pa- permakers were Albigenses, id that driven from '• their strongholds, they were obliged to seek new locations for the establishment of their indus- try. Never ceasing in their devotion to their • secret doctrines, they found i it necessary to devise some means for communicating Writ% each oder- and the early watermarks, according to' this theory, provided- an exeunt ve- hicle for accomplishing this pu This adds romance and interest the subject, but '►in ortunately t author succeeds in providing e, been employed, and then for definite e .trade purposes. In later years, .how- ever, publishers have recognized the; opportunity which the watermark of- fers to introduce, ther own mono- gram, or, in other words, to give to the complete volume unity to which the presence of the house mark con- tributes in an indefinite but agree- able way. The - Russian papermakers have perhaps been the most ingenious in developing watermarks, which in some cases cover the entire sheet, bet ,the Japanese have been more artistic. While the Russians employ imperial wreaths, arms and portraits beautifully reproduced, the Japanese introduce in -artistic fashion flying birds, dolphins, floral designs, land- scapes.

The use of the watermark in mod -1 he but scant authority for the bast% of his theory. It is still only safe to as- sume, therefore, that these marks were placed in the paper as a guar- antee of their quality, and without so eerious a purpose swig suggested to the theory advanced. Until the invention of papermak- ing machinery in 1798, watermarked paper was universal except in the inferior unbleached Swiss varieties.
