THE MAGIC FLUrE.-The most won
derful Instrument of the magical orches-
ira is described in q Hessian legend,
recorded by the Brothers Grimm. A man
kills his brother while they are out
hunting, and huries the corpse under
tue arch OF q bridge. Years pass. One
day q shepherd, crossing the bridge with
his flock, sees a little white bone, shin
ing like ivory, lie goes down, picks it
up, and carves it into a mouthpiece for
bis bagpipes. When he began to play,
the mouthpiece TO his horror began to
sing of its own accord: ''Oh, my dear
shepherd! you are playing on one of my
bones! my brother assassinated me, and
buried me under the BRIDGE The shep.
herd, terrified, took his bagpipes to the
King, who put the mouthpieca to his
lips, when straightway the refrain began:
sob, my dear King you are playing
on one Of my bones; my brother assass-
mated me, and buried me under the
bridge" The King ordered all his sub
iects to try in turn the bagpipes. From
mouth to mouth the instrument passed
to that of the fratricide, and then it sang:
"Oh, my dear brother! you are playing
on one of my bones; it was you who as
sassinated me!' and the King caused the
murderer to be executed.

HOW A LITTLE GIRL SUGGESTED
THE INVENTION OF THE
TELESCOPE.

Some OF the most important discover
les have been made accidentally; and it
has happened to more than one inventor,
who had long been searching after some
new combination of material for carrying
ont pet idea, to hit upon the right thing
al last by mere chance. A lucky instance
of this kind was she discovery of the
principle of the telescope.
Nearly three hundrnd years ago, there
was living in the town of Middelburg, or
the island of Walcheren, in the Neither
lands. poor optician named Hans Lip
pershein. One day, in the year 1903, he
was working in his shop, his children
helping him in various small ways, or
romping about and amusing themselves
with the tools and objects lying on his
work bench, when suddenly his little girl
exclaimed:
..Oh, Papal See how near the steeple
comes!"
Haif-startled by this announcement,
the honest Hans looked up from his
work, curious to know the cause of the
child's amazement. Turning toward her,
be saw that she was looking through two
lenses, one held close to her eye, and the
other at arms length; and, calling his
daughter To his side, he noticed that the
eye lens was plano-concave (or fiat on
one side and followed out on the otherl,
while the one held at distance was
plano-convex (or fat on one side and
bulging on the other.) Then, taking the
two glasses, he repeated his daughters
experiment, and soon discovered that she
had chanced to hold the lenses apart at
their exact focus, and this had produced
the wonderful effect that she had obsery-
ed. His quick wit and skilled invention
saw ii this accident wonderful discov-
-ry. He Immediately set about making
use of his new knowledge of lenses, and
ere long he had fashioned a tube of
pasteboard, in which he set the glasses
firmly at their exact focus.
This rough tube was the germ of that
great instrument the telescope, to which
modern science owes SO much. And it
was on Octocer %, 1908, that Lippers-
helm sent to his government three tele
scopes made by himself, calling them
instruments by means of which to see
at distance
Not long afterward another man, Jacob
Adriansz, or Metius, of Alkmarr, town
about twenty miles from Amsterdam,
claimed to have discovered the principle
of the telescope two years earlier than
Hans L.rpetsheim; and it is generally
believed that to one of these two men
belongs the honor Of inventing the in
strumept. But it seems certain that
Hans Lippersheim had never known nor
heard of the discovery made by Adriansz,
and SC, Il AdriansA had not lived we
should owe to Hans Lippersheim's quick
Wit, and his little daughters lucky med
ding, one Of the most valuable and won
deGful of human inventions. = Saint
