Some Of the most important discover
les have been made accidentally and
1t has happened to more than one inven-
tor, who had long been searching after
some new combination or material for
carrying out pet idea, to Int upon the
right thlng at last by mere chance 4
lucky instance Of this kind was the dis
covcry of the principle Of the telescope.
Nearly three hundred years ago there
was living In the town o: Middleburg.
on the Island of Walcheren, in the Meth
eTiands, poor optician named Hans
Llppersheim. One day, in the year
16os. he was working in his shop, his
children helping him in various small
ways, or romplng about and amusing
themselves with the tools and objects
lyeg on his workbench, when suddenly
his little girl exclaimed:
''Oh, papa See how near the steeple
comes!'
Half-startled by this announcement.
the honest Hans looked up from his
work, curious TO know the cause Of the
| chllds amazement. Turning toward
her, he saw that she was looking through
two lenses, one held close to her eve.
| and tie other at arms length; and.
calling his daughter to his side, he no
ticed that the eye-lens was plano con
cave COR fiat on one side and followed
out on the otLer), while the one held at
distance was piano convex (or Hat on
one side and bulging on the other.
Then, taking the two glasses, he re-
peated his daughters experiment, and
soon discovered that she had Glanced
to hold the lenses apart at their exact
focus, and this had produced the won
derful effect that she had observed. His
quick wit and skilled invention saw in
this accident wonderful discovery.
lie immediately set about making use
of his new knowledge of lenses, and ere
long he had fashionedfa tube of paste
board. III which he setthe glasses firmly
at their exact focus.
This rough tube was the germ of that
great instrument the telescope, to which
podcrp science owes so much. And il
was on October %. 1908, that Upper
sheim sent to his Government three te
escopes made 10y himself, calling then
instruments by means Of which to set
at distance"
Not long afterward another Tman
jacob Adriansz, or Metlus, Of Alkmaar
a town about twenty miles from Amster
dam, claimed to have discovered th
principle of the telescope two years ear
llar than Hans Llppersheim and it i
generally acknowledged that to one 0
these two men belongs the honor of in
venting the instrument. But it seem
certain that Hans Lippersheim had neve
known or heard of the discovery mad
oy Adriansz, and so, If Adrlansz la.
not Lived We still should owe to Han
Lippershelm's qdlck wit, and his littl
: daughters lucky meddling, one of til,
