A Clever Swintile.

partly successful attempt at swiuding BY
means of adroitly contrived telegraplc des-
patches has just come to light in Havana A
telegram purporing to be forwarded from
Madrid, through Spencer's news agency. was
printed on the morning of December oath. an
nouncing that ut a drawing of the National
lottery at Madrid, on the Esd. ticket l. i.7l5
had drawn the capital prize of $500. 900. In
the afternoon the ticket was presented at the
banking house of Borges & Co. who declined
to negotiate it until the genuineness of the
alleged telegram was ascertained. They
forwarded u cable inquiry to their Madrid
correspondents, and a day later received
what appeared to be reply confirming the
published despatch. Thereupon they ne
gotiated the ticket. and the following day the
payees returned to Borges 4 Co. the sum of
I'll 900 against the cable transfer on Paris.
A member of the firm left Havana for New
York, with the ticket. in order to send the
same TO Madrid under notarial seal and
insured. On his arrival at New York Tues
day morning he received kilograms informing
him that the dispatches establishing the
genuineness of the report of the drawing
were forged. and the entire transaction was
fraud. Subsequent dispatches assure him
that large part of the money has been re-
covered in Havana, and he has every reason
TO believe million francs transferred to
Paris have not yet passed into the possession
of the swindlers. The principal operator in
the transaction at Havana has been Jailed.
The affair causes great excitement in the
business community there.

A Beautiful AlIegory.

The eminent statesman, John j. Crit
tenden of Kentucky, was at one time en-
gagged in defending man who had been
indicted for capital offence. After at
elaborate and powerful defence. he closed
his effort with the following striking and
beautiful allegory:
When God in his eternal council con
ceived the thought of mans creation. he
called to him the three ministers who wait
constantly upon the throne-Justice, Truth
and Mercy-and thus addressed them
''Shall we make man ?' Then said JUS
tice; 80. God. make him not, for he will
trample upon the laws" Truth made an

will pollute thy sanctuaries." But Mercy.
dropping upon her knees, looking up
through her tears, exclaimed. 20, God.
make him will watch over him with
my care through all the dark which he
may haveO tread. Then God made man.
AMI said to him. 30. man. thou art the
child of Mercy; 60 and deal with thy
brother"
The jury. when he had finished. was
drowned in tears and against the evidence,
and what must have been their own con-
victions, brought in verdict of not gull

How . Little Girl Suggested the Inven-
iiOn Of the Telescope.

Some OF the most important discoveries
have been made accidentally; and it has
happened to more than one inventor, who
had long been searching after some new
combination or material for carrying out a
pet idea, to hitupon the right thing at last
by mere chance. 4 lucky instance Of this
kind was the discovery Of the principle Of
the Telescope.
Nearly three hundred years ago. there
was living in The town Of Middelburg. on
the island Of Walcheren. in the Neither
lands "A poor optician named Hans Lippers-
helm. One day, in the year 1908. he
was working in his shop, his children
helping him in various small WAYS, or
r0mping about and amusing themselves
with the tools and objects lying on his
workbench, when suddenly his little girl
exclaimed:
.'Ob. papa, See how near the steeple
comese'
Halfstartled by this announcement, the
honest Hans looked up from his work. GU
rious to know the cause OF the child's
amazement. Turning toward her, he saw
that she was looking through two lenses.
one held close to her eye, and the other al
arms length /; and calling her to his side, he
noticed that the ye-lens was plano-con-
cave or (fiat on one side. and followed
out ON the other while the one held at II
distance was plano-conyex Tor fiat on one
side and bullying on the other) Then
taking the two glasses, he repeated his
daughters experiment. and soon discov-
cred tina. she had CHANGED TO hold the
lenses apart at their exact focus, and this
had produced the wonderful effect that she
had observed. His quick wit and skilled
invention saw in this accident wonderful
discovery. He Immediately set about
maxim. 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 October -. 1908, that Lippersheim
sent to his government three telescopes
made by himself, calling them ''instru-
ments by means Of which to see at dis
lance
Not long afterward another man. Jacob
Adriansz. or Metius, of Alkmaar, "A town
about twenty miles from Amsterdam.
claimed to have discovered the principle
Of the telescope two years earlier than
Hans Lippersheim: and it is generally ac-
knowledged that to ore of these two men
belongs the honor of inventIng the in
strument But it seems certain that Hans
Lippershcim had never known nor heard
Of the discovery made by Adriansz and
so. if Adriansz had not lived, we still
should owe to Hans Lippersheim's quick
wit, and his little daughters lucky med
ding. one of the most valuable and won
derfu OF human inventions.-!St. Nich0laS
