Historical Filins Approved and Work Has Begun.

The Indiana Historical commission has formally endorsed the scenario submitted by the Selig Polyscope company for the centennial historical picture of Indiana. The work of making the -picture is already under way. The production will require 7,000 feet of film, or seven reels. Two reels will be devoted to a prologue .depicting the early history of the state. Five reels cover the centennial period from 1816 to the present. Location men in the employ of the Selig Polyscope company are busy touring the state in search for ideal ‘ locations” for the staging of the film. The‘'location” experts have the task of arranging 300 scenes covering a period of 23 6 years. The Selig company is arranging to re-enact the scenes on the identical grounds where they occurred. The battle of Tippecanoe, for example, will bo staged at Battle Ground, in Tippecanoe county, and the landing of LaSalle at the St. Joseph-Kankakee portage and his ie-Cmbarkation .on the Kankakee will be staged near South Bend. The scenario for the production, written by Gillson Willetts of Chicago, provides that where original buildings are not available, new ones are to be erected. The costuming of the production in itself will be an important undertaking, as the wardrobe must be accurate to the last detail. The weapons used in the various battle scenes also must be historically accurate. The cast for the production, which at times will number over 1,000 persons, must visit all the various scenes, as’ the scenario necessitates the taking of pictures in the extreme northern section and the extreme southern part of the state.

When “U” Is “V.”

Why do modern architects assvme that U is V, and carve in stone that palpable and bold absvrdity? Now that we possess the U with soft and gracefvl cvrve, or vnexcelled docility and willingness to serve, why do they carve Vnited States and pvblic school and svch, and make the English langvage look as fvnny as the Dvtch, with restavrant and Pvllman car and vnvierslty and other marks of edvcational perversity? That V impresses some of vs as cheap and gavdy blvff, which parvenves may pvll in place of more svbstantial stvff, bvt people who are fashioned ovt of vnpretentiova dvst view all svch affections with an vnassvmed disgvst. Svch exhibitions always make me very glvm and blve. Now, honest Injvn, don’t they have the same effect on yov?—Printer's Ink.
