reduces the water power for the factories, Suits

city authorities

:" / should think not" Indignantly
exclaimed Abel.
Therefore Northw wick's assignment
will be forgery, and shall bring him
here and confront him with you"
Mr. Horton was as good as his word,
and met the rascally agent at the time
and place appointed. Northwick did
not have the assignment, although he
professed his ability to produe IL as soon
as the negotiations were concluded, and
Mr.. Horton brought him to the house
for the purpose of winding up the trans.
action. There he was confronted, great
ly to his astonlshment and dismay, by
Abel Kentridge, and 1t was made evil
dent to him that his swindling scheme
was discovered.
The upshot Of the interview was that
Abel gained possession of his precious
patent, and Northwiek was glad to go
clear of criminal proceedings.
g Now, my boy" said Mr. Horton,
''if you will take me as partner in
this business, / will furnish the needed
capital and push IL, and I have no doubt
that both of us will grind out grist of
money with your turbine wheel"
Abel gladly accepted this arrange
ment, and the result soon became SO
satisfactory to both parties that Mr..
Horton heartily congratulated himself
upon the fact that his supposed tramp
had not taken his advice to ''jog along"
1t should be also added that his pretty
sister-in-law, Bella Grattan, also found
in the same fact cause for self-congrat-
ulation.

Discoveries by Accident.

Valuable discoveries have been made and valuable
inventions suggested by the variest accident. Al
slchemist while seeking to discover . mixture OF
earths that would make tho most durable crucibles
one day found that he had made porcelain. The
power of lenses, applied 20 the telescope, was
discovered by . watchmaker's apprentice. While
holding spectacle glasses between his thumb and
finger he was startled at the suddenly enlarged ap-
appearance of neighboring church spire.
The art Of etching on glass was discovered by
Nuremburg glass cutter. BY accident few drops
of aquafortst fell upon his spectacles. He noticed
that the glass became corrsed aud softenei where
tn, acid had touched it. That was hint enough.
He drew figures upon glass with varnish, applied
the oorroding huid then cut away the 81 ass around
the drawing. When the varnish was removed the
figures appeared raised upon dark ground. Mez-
zotinte owed its nventng to the simple accident OF
the eun-barrel OF , sentry becoming rusted with
dew. The swinging to and fro of chandelier In 8
cathedral suggested to Calico the application Of
the pendulum.
The art of lithographing was perfected sh
suggestions M de by accident. poor musician
was curious to know whether music could not be
etched upon stone we'll upon copper. After
he had prepared it his mother asked him to makes
of such clothes she proposed to
send away to be washed. Not having peu, ink and
paper convenient, he wrote the list the stone
with the etching preparation, intending to make
copy Of it 1t leasure. few days later when about
to clean the stone, he wondered what eec a1usfor-
tbs would have upon it. H. applied the acid, aud
in few minutes saw the writing standing out In
relief The next step necessary was simply to Ink
the stone and take on an impression. The compo-
sition Of which printing rollers are made was dls-
coversd by saioplan printer. Not being able to
ind the peltball, he inkei the type with piece OF
soft glue which had fallen.out of glue pot. 1t
was an excellent substituts-so that, after mixing
in moasses to give tho glue the proper consistency
the old pels bail was entirely discarded. The shop

who had about equal fortunes. They
were both old settlers, both rich, and both
much respected IL that fearful year,
1852, when the dying and destitute imml-
grants literally cra.led on hands and
knees over the Sierras, trying to reach the
settlements, one Of these men drove all OF
his cattle up to the mountains, butchered
them, and FED the starving. He had his
Mexicans pack all the mules with flour,
which at that time cost almost its weight
in gold, and push on night and day over
the mountains to meet the strangers there
and feed them, so that they might have
strength to reach his house, where they
could have shelter and rest. The other
man, colo. aud cautious, saw his opportu-
nitv and embraced it. He sat at home
and sold all his wheat and mules, and
meat, and with the vast opportunities for
turning money to account in that new
country soon became almost Il Prince in
fortune. But his generous neighbor died
begsar in Idaho, where he had gone to
try to make another fortune. tie liter
ally had not money enough to buy
shroud; and, as he died among strangers
by the roadside, he was buried without
even SO much as pine board coffin.

the entire population of Berlin is lodged
in dwellings possessing only one nre-
place, and no fewer than 1899 sets OF

families in humble circumstances :
Dr.. Starke draws an appalling picture OF
the immortality characterizing the lower
classes of Berlin society, and his lecture

depressing effect upon the public mind

A Duel With Bows and Arrows.
(RelprAyia.1

On one occasion bows have been bent
with most blood ;hlrsty intent. On Feb"
ruary 10Th, 1891, very ludicrous duel
took place at Edinburg, of which, unfor-
tunately, only this meagre accrun: is pre-
served: 1.-TWO gentlemen met on tie
Meadows, supplied with bows and ar
rows. to decide point of honor. They
were accompanied by seconds, and had
surgeon attendance IN case their Indian
artillery should by any mans prove ef-
fec,ive. After a harmless exchange Of
three shots the parties retired, the point
OF honor doubtless being satisfactorily
arranged If similar weapons we're al
ways employed in dueling, adds the
newspaper reporter, this amusement
would speedily become questionable,
seeing that the seconds would run quite
as great, if not greater risk, than the prln-
cipals.

The consumption Of malt liquor in this
country has Increased oyer one hundred
per cent in ten years. During 1880 taxes
were paid on 13,374,O00 barrels, 414,00c,-
600 gallons. This is equivalent to $50
mugs for every man, woman and child in
in the country. Leaving out the females
and children, this vast quantity represents
800 glasses year for each male over 81
years IN the United States. When we
consider the very large number of adult
males who drink no beer at ALL and the
other host who partake of it only in the
most moderate manner, and at more or
less ,protracted intervals, it IS evident that
some other American must drink a great
deal At five cents glass this beer man
ufacture of 1880 brought 1915 100000 or
about g. so per capita for every man, We
man and child This is quarter more
than the total expense of runniag the

How to Detect Glucose.

The proportion of glucose added varies
from IL TO 90 parts per 100, and there are
very few fancy sirIps or sugars in the
market that are not indebted to the corn
crop for their beauty and comparatively
low cost. Aside from elaborate scientific
tst., the means of detecting this adultera.
ton are very simple. Being less soluble
than sugar, the glucose settles at the bot.
tom of the cup, unless the hot tea or cof-
fee is persistently agitated, and, when lett
to dry, forms hard. horny film, similar
to dried gelatine, but little more readily
scraped or cut. Upon the surface of syr-
I'D thus adulterated 8 film or pellicle
forms upon exposure to tine air. The
pellicle is of extreme thinness and trans
parancy. but becomes corrugated when
the exposure is prolonged, and possesses
a considerable degree of resistance to
rupture. A lens is not necessary to its
detection and study. These are very sim
pie tests, but they are capable of detecting
very minute percentage of the adulter
ant
