ATTENDING MErrrNcs. Tho question las
often been suggested, whether pastor Is
under GREATER obligation to attend runctual-
Is religious meetings Of the church and sp-
ci,ty with which hc is connected than the
people themselves. D1ubilgs, some Of our
reader, have ncArI this AHi.d al by their
pastors. Acorrcspondent Of the True Union
relates a case where the mattr was brought
to a practical issue. lIa says:
~ certain church Of my acquaintnncr,
had agreed in midsummer, u hold their
meetings Cor the Lords daYat 1 I. NJ. ra'h-
cr than at night On account Of the 'hIr'noss
Of the night. Very soon It was found that
not more than half the members were pre-.
sent at /, while at II \. NJ. the house was
crowded. After complaining several times
Of thi, afternoon detection, the Pastor, who
as some thought was rather queer genius,
res5rtod 10 the following method Of rcmov.
in. the evil Ona certain Lords day after.
noon, when the clock struck 1, % the sur
prs, Of those assembled in the church, the
Pastor was absent After waiting a short
time, two Of the Deacons, (thc other Eve
being at homc.) went to his residence, ap-
pretending that he was sick. They found
him in hls study, lying on lounge, Rad.
ing. On their inquiry why be was not at
church, the Pastor grayely replied, that
having eaten bountiful dinner, and the
weather being very bot, ho did not feel like
going to church; aud as large number Of
the brethren seemed to take 1t 10y turns to
stay at home, he thought it his turn to stay
at home this afternoon.

Curious Invention Of Shot.

Almost every body has seen shot tower;
but perhaps not all who have seen one
knows what is the necessity for having SO
high structure for making shot Prevl-
Gus to the year 1882 persons called plumb
ers were the only ones who made shot,
The process was to let he melted lead drop
into water. But in this process the part
that first touched the water was always
hattened. About 1882 a man named
Watts, living in Bristol, England, by trade
plumber and shoemaker, was assisted by
his wife in the latter operation. Mrs.
Watts was a woman of some genius, and
often reflected upon the subject of devising
some means to make shot more round. 1t
was her particular business to cast the shot,
and she experimental for this purpose by
dropping the melted lead into oil and 9th
er liquids besides water; but the shot
were still indented or hattened on the
sides which first came in contact with the
liquids She retired to bed one night,
thinking deeply on the subject of making
shot round In the anxious state of her
mind her sleep was not sound, 0. course,
She began to dream, and ber dream is thus
related by writer in the Scientific Amer
iictn:
/ "She dreamed Of going into neigh
boris shop, halter ny trade and while
lltalkipss to him she heard shot falling, and
on asking him If he made shot, he wont
out, brought in handful, and they were
perfectly round In much surprise she
exclaimed, " My God how do you make
them round?' " By dropping them from
a great height" said the halter. Mrs
Watts awoke under the exciting discovery,
aroused her husband, informed him Of her
dream, when they both dressed themselves,
tried it upon the highest place on their
own premises and found the shot rounder
than before, but still indented. The next
day they tried it from the tower of St
Thomas church, that leans some feet over
its base, when they attained shot rounder
than the home attempt, but not yet per-
feet The next attempt was made IN the
shaft of a coal mine, a few miles from Brs
tol, at place called Kingswood, and from
this trial they obtained perfectly round
shot Watts ascertained the height nee
essary, to make them round, by trials al
different depths, entered caVeat Tor pat
ent, made known his discovery to veal
thy acquaintance, erected a shot tower, re-
allied eighty thousand pounds, undertook
to erect large block If buildings at Cliff:
ton, sunk all he had made before they were
half finished, and became poor in his ole
age. | have passed this block many times
and it was called Waits Folly
There IS no doubt that Watts or his wife
made this discovery. But the idea accord
ing TO some, belongs to Watts more than
his wife. It was Wa is, and not Mrs
Watts, who is supposed to have dreamed
on the subject. Watts is said to have
dreamed that he was cut in a shower, ane
that it rained lead instead of water, anC
thus was engendered the idea Of giving
perfect roundness to shot by letting thu
melted lead fall great distance.
