The Usefulness Of a Committee Clerk.

A well-known Washington newspaper
man, says Washington letter, had the
clerkship of one of the Senate commit
tees last year. The committee was one
which had very little work to do, and
the Senators were not very often all
present at committee meetings. One
day there were only two Senators pres
ent, one a Republican and the other a
Democrat. The clerk was in his place
when they came in. "Well, Mr..
Clerk" said the Democratic Senator,
have you prepared the majority re-
port on that caseg' "Yes," answered
the clerk. won't you please read it,
Mr.. Clerk?' The clerk proceeded to
do so. The report seemed to be Salts
factory to the Senator. As there were
only two Senators present of course no
work could be done, so the Senators
started to leave the committee room.
BY the way" cried the Republican
Senator, coming back, ..you seem to
have genius for writin e committee
reports. Write my minority report on
the same case for me, and have ii ready
at the next meeting.'' The clerk had
the minority report ready at the time
named. and it proved as satisfactory as
the majority report which he had al
ready prepared on the same case. This
clerk was generally known as the Chair.
man of the committee.

Accidents Utilized.

1t is often said that many of the most
serviceable inventions originated in an
accident 1t should be remembered.
however, that there is one remarkable
fact about such accidents-a man with
brains always witnesses them.
One day, at an English print-works,
piece OF calico became displaced as it
was passing under the printing cylin-
der. The displacement caused q dag
onal repetition of the pattern, and pro-
duced forked-lightning effect. The
master-printer saw it. 1t struck his
fancy, and he suggested to the pattern
designer that it should be initiated. 1t
proved one of the most successful calico
patterns ever printed.
The, Journal of Chemistry tells the
story of how the rejecting apparatus
for lighthouses originated in wager.
An Englishman made bet that he
could read the small print of a news
paper by the light of a farthing candle
placed ten yards distant. He coated a
board with pieces of looking glass, thus
forming u rough substitute for con-
cave mirror. In front of this mirror he
placed a. lighted candle, whose rays
were reflected to a focus ten yards dis
tant. In that light he read the news
paper. There was a practical man
present who had the brains to see the
bearing of fact. He thought if the
light OF small candle could be thrown
ten yards, the light of large lamp
may be projected miles. The thought
grew into the rejecting apparatus for
lighthouses.
"Not every man." says the Journal,
scan take the hint afforded by chance
occurrence. The result depends not
so much on the accident, as on the
man who observed it, thought upon it,
utilized it,
