him that if the light Of farthing candIs
could in this way be thrown out a dis
tance, the light of a large lamp could
be projected mile or so away. The
result was the invention of the reflect
ing apparatus for lighthouses.
Mezzotinto was invented by Prince
Rupert, owing to the simple accident OF
the sentry's gun being rusted with
dew.
Henry Schonward, a glass-cutter, Oh
Nuremburg, let some aqua FORTS drop
on his Spectacles, and he noticed that
the glass corroded and softened. That
was hint enough. He made liquid,
drew some figures upon glass, covered
them with varnish, applied this corrod-
ING fluid, cut away the glass around the
drawing, so that when the varnish was
removed the figures appeared raised
upon dark ground, and etching upon
glass was added to the arts.
Pliny relates that the invention OF
glass was due to some merchants trav-
cling with inter, who stopped on the
bank of river to cook meal. Not
having anything to rest their kettle on,
they took pieces of inter. The heat
melted this, which, mixing with the
sand, formed glass.
Charles Goodyear discovered vulcan
lied rubber by throwing piece of sui
phured rubber across the room to amuse
friend. 1t alighted on hot stove,
and he found that the intense heat had
impaired to the rubber the very quality
he had so long been experimenting to
produce.
A Limerick tobacconist was burned
out, and looked sadly on while his
neighborS rushed in among the ruins,
and, after trying the contents of certain
canisters, stuffed their waistcoat pockets
with them. What could they want
with burned snuff, wondered the tobac-
conist. He tried the snuff and found it
was improved in pungency and aroma.
He opened new shop, built an oven,
and in a short time backyard snuff,
sometimes called "The Irish black
guard" had great run, and the
fortune of Landyfoot was made.-Chi-

Popular Science Catechism.

What is this?
A druggists clerk, darling.
Is he not druggist?
No, dear.
But he is putting up prescription
Oh, no! he is not.
What, then, is he doing?
He is trying to put one up.
Is he succeeding?
He is very near success.
How near?
Well, the doctors prescription calls
for five grains of quinine in each dose.
And what is the druggists clerk
doing?
He is putting FIVE grains of morphine
in each dose.
Oh! But will not this hurt the poor
patient?
Not very much.
But how much?
1t will kill him.
My! But what a dreadful thing for
the clerk!
Not half so bad as for the patient.
What will the poor druggist say
when they arrest him for the murder?
He will say his clerk put the pressrip-
ton up.
And what will the poor clerk say?
He will say he was sleepy and mis-
took the bottles.
Why! are the bottles of morphine and
quinine kept on the same shelf?
Certainly.
Then such mistakes are liable to oc-
cur at any time9
They are, my precious.
But why does not the poor druggist
hire clerks who know the difference be-
tween quinine and morphine?
Because he can hire a boy who does
not know for less money.
Then we are in danger whenever we
take the medicine the poor doctor Or
ders?
We are, darling.
Can we do nothing to protect our
selves?
Oh, yes!
What?
We can throw the medicine out of the
window
But is not the druggist or his clerk
punished for killing innocent people in
this way?
No, dear.
Why?
Because the over-zealOus Sheriff fills
the jury with druggists and dealers, and
they acquit both the druggist and his
clerk.
Oh! the druggists and doctors stand
by each other?
Every time.
But when the poor druggists clerk
puts up such dose by mistake, does he
not really murder the poor patient?
Oh, no, my pet.
Why?
Because the poor patient commits
suicide by taking it.-M y Life.

WITH FRESH YOUNG EYES.

How fair and sweet the earth appears,
How blue and bright the skies,
How wide the scope,
How full of hope
To fresh young eyes.
From them the roses hide their thOrnS,
For them the world herself adOrns
Each year anew, new charms displays
To captivate their youthful gaze.
The hOmely and familiar scenes
Which we but notice to deSpise
Always possess
Some lOvelineSs
To fresh young eyes.
They see the sunlight shining through
The shadows, and obtain view
OF charming viStaS, and delight
In what is common in our sight.
The world of fancy, and of fame
And fortune, so alluring, lies,
Mid splendors gay,
Not far away
From fresh young eyes.
That look with smiling hope and trust
Beyond the valleys filled with dust;
Nor at the mountains are dsmayed
That all the pathways barricade.
The mist that wells the morning sun
Before their vision swiftly flies,
And everywhere
The prospects fair
TO fresh young eyes.
Undimmed by trials and by tears,
Untouched by cares of later years,
They look abroad on skies serene,
Nor see the clouds that intervene.
All, with what rapturous delight
All, with what tender, sweet surprise
Earth's glories burst
Respendent first
On fresh young eyes!
What though the false appeared the true!
What though the old appeared the new!
'Twere better than to be too wise,
And see no more with fresh young eyes.
Josephine Pollard, in n. 7. Ledger.

The question of building bridge
across the Mississippi River at Memphis
is revived. 1t is believed such an outlet
would make Memphis leading city of
the South. 1t is claimed by its promot-

has been found on which to build the
bridge, but how deep down has not
been stated A bridge at Memphis
would be very important thing for
that CITY.
