Discoveries BY Accident.

Valuable discoveries have been made
and valuable inventions suggested by the
veriest accidents. An alchernist, while
seeking to discover a mixture of earths
that would make the most durable cru
cibles, one day found that he had made
porcelain. The power of lenses, as APP
piled to the telescope, was discovered by
a watchmaker's apprentice. While hold
ing spectacle-g glasses between his thumb
and finger, he was startled at the sud-
denly enlarged appearance of a neigh
boring church spire. The art of etching
upon glass was discovered by Nurem-
burg glass-cutter. By accident few
drops of aqua FORTS fell upon his spec
tacles. He noticed that the glass be-
came corroded and softened where the
acid touched it. That was hint enough.
He drew figures upon glass with varnish,
applied the corroding fluid, then cut
away the glass around the drawing.
When the varnish was removed the
figures appeared raised upon dark
ground. Mezzotint owed its invention
to the simple accident of the gun barrel
of a sentry becoming rusted with dew.
The swaying to and fro of chandelier
In cathedral suggested to Calico the
application of the pendulum. The art
of hthographing was perfected through
suggestions made by accident. A poor
musician was curious to know whether
music could not be etched upon stone
! as well as upon copper. After he had
prepared his slab his mother asked him
to make memorandum of such clothes
rs she proposed to send away to be
washed. Not having pen, ink and paper
convenient, he wrote the list on the
stone with the etching preparation, in
tending to make copy of it at leisure.
A few days later, when about to clean
the stone, he wondered what effect aqua
FORTS would have upon it. He applied
the acid, and in few minutes saw the
writing standing out in relief. The next
step necessary was simply to ink the
stone and take off an impression. The
composition of which printing rollers
are made was discovered by Salopian
printer. Not being able to find the pelt-
ball, he linked the type with piece of
soft glue which had fallen out of glue
pot. It was such an excellent substi-
tuGo GudG, dIGot ullAIuS AIO1ASSeS Will
the glue to give the proper consistency,
the old pelt-ball was entirely discarded.
The shop Of Dublin tobacconist by the
name of Lundy was destroyed by fire.
While he was gazing dolefully into the
smoldering ruins he noticed that his
poorer neighbors were gathering the
snuff from the canisters. He tested the
snuff for himself, and discovered that
the fire had largely improved its pun
gency aroma. It was hint worth prof
ting by. He secured another shop,
built a lot of ovens, subjected the snuff
to heating process, gave the brand
particular name, and in few years be-
came rich through an accident which he
at first thought had completely ruined
him. WOOns0cket Patriot.

Viva Yoce Voting.

To establish system is a service not
more distinguished than to prevent its
subversion. ct desire no more Ilustri-
Gus fame" said Tully, ethan to have
inscribed on the tablets of the republic
that Cicero preserved it." When the
subyersion of political fabric is threat
ened by practices repugnant to the the
DRY Of its existence and incorrigible with
out superseding the agencies which make
them possible, is it not wise to consider
the possibility of averting the peril by
the substitution Of agencies less capable
Of such perversion?
The political system of the Constitu-
ton is theoretically founded in popular
consent, whence its vitality and vigor are
supposed to be drawn through the free
and fairly ascertained expression of pub
lie opinion. The agency employed fo1
collecting this expression is the ballot
box The facilities which experience
has shown it to furnish for thwarting
and defeating the electoral will are null
tifaious. Among them are the follow
ing: The seizure and destruction of bal
lots prepared for the use of voters; false
ballots printed in the similitude of genu-
inc the stufing of ballot boxes; the
fraudulent exchanging and substitution
of ballots after they have been cast; col
onization and repeating; the destruction
of ballot boxes; the objections of ballots
and returns on purely technical grounds;
the fraudulent counting of ballots and
false returns these are some of the
methods incident to the ballot which are
employed to defeat the popular judg-
ment. They are not all common to, yet
some Of them are possible, in every To-
cality. The opportunity is greater In
some than in others. The disposition to
practice is commensurate with the disre-
gard of right.
Statutory restraints are Intellectual.
Rejecting false ballots only DISTINGUISHES
the elector, which but half corrects the
wrong. The crimes against and frauds
upon the ballot box may be detected and
punished, but their consequences are
generally without remedy. They can
rarely be corrected, except upon the tes-
timony of the perpetrators, which is as
unreliable as the crime is fragrant. The
possibility and unrestrained continuance
of these practices must sooner or later
bring elective government into merited
contempt or terminate its existence in
violence.
With view to elicit popular discus
sion, the inquiry is suggested whether in
national elections an approximate, if not
a complete, remedy for these practices
may not be furnished by the substitution
of UiUa voce voting for the ballot Hoary
custom is obstinate, innovation regarded
with disfavor. The wisdom that shall
devise and the courage that shall give
effect to elective methods free from the
possibility of these subversive practices
will merit the distinction which Tully
deemed illustrious. Cincinnati Gazette.
