DISCOVERIES MADE BY ACCIDENT.
The Curious Way Certain Important Processes
We're Suggested.
London Tid-Bits.

Valuable discoveries have been made,
and valuable inventions suggested by the
veriest accidents. An alchomist, while
seeking to discover a mixture of earths
that would make the most durable cruel
bles, one day found that he had made
porcelain. The power of lenses, as ap-
piled to the telescope, was discovered by
watchmaker's apprentice. While
holding spectacie-glasses between his
thumb and finger he was
startled at the suddenly enlarged
appearance of neighboring church
spire. The art of etching upon glass was
discovered by Il Nuremberg glass cutter.
BY accident Il few drops of aqua forts
fell upon his spectacles He noticed
that the glass became .corroded and
softened where the acid had touched it
That was hint enough. lie drew figures
upon glass with yarnish, applied the
corroding fluid, then cut away the glass
around the drawing. When the varnisn
was removed the figures appeared raised
upon dark ground.
MezZotinto owed its invention to the
simple accident of the gun barrel of
sentry becoming rusted with dew. The
swaying to and fro of a chandelier in
cathedral suggested Calico the ap-
plication of the pendulum The
TT OF lithographing was per-
fected through suggestions made by
accident. y poor musician was curious
to know whether music could not be
etched upon stone as well as upon cop
per. After he had prepared his slab his
mother asked him to make memoran-
DUN of such clothes as she proposed to
pen, ink and paper convenient, he wrote
the list on the stone with the etching
preparation, intending to make copy of
it at leisure. A few days later, when
about to clean the stone, he wondered
what effect aqua FORTS would have upon
it. He applied the acid, and in a few
moments saw the writing stand out in re-
lief. The next step necessary was simply
to ink the stone and take off an impress
sion.
The shop of Dublin tobacconist by the
name of Lundyfoot was destroyed by fire.
While he was gazing dolefully into the
smouldcring ruins he noticed that his
poorer neighbers were gathering the snuff
from the caniSters. He tested the snuff
himself and found that the fire had large
ly improved its pungency and aroma.
1t was a hint worth profftlng by. He Sc
cured another shop, built a lot of ovens,
subjected the snuff to heating process,
gave the brand particular name, and
i'll few years became rich through
an accident which he at first
thought had completely ruined him.
The process of whitening sugar was dis
covered in curious way. 4 hen that
had gone through a clay puddle went
with her muddy feet into sugar house.
She left her tracks on pile of sugar. 1t
was noticed that wherever her tracks
were the sugar was whitened. Expert
ments were instituted, and the result was
that wet clay came to be used in refining
sugar. The origin of blue-tinted paper
came about by mere slip of the hand.
The wife of William East, an English
paper-maker, accidentally let blue bag
fall into one of the watts of pulp.

say that the handkerchief of her weCA

their way. Some are of old point
lace, others of exquisite Valencien-
mes, others of silk gapze, and
each with the name ''Marcelle,'
accompanied by design of ivy leaves,
embroidered in the corner. There must
be Il motive underlying the prominence
given to ivy leaves i'll this trousseau, and
as the trousseau reflects the individual
taste of the lady rather than of her
dressmaker, it is possible. that she in
adopting the green trailing plant, was
thinking of her own loYematch aud of the

ToLsToI on MARRIAGE.
The GLOOMY Philosophers views of Romantic
Pail Mall Gazette.

Love.
Pail Mall Gazette
wish to write q novel, a romance, e1-
posing the conventional Illusion of ro-
mantle love. Ihave already written it,
but it must be turned upside down and
rewritten. It is too much OF treatise
as it stands and there is not enough of
action in it. Ny object is to ill the
reader with horror III the result of taking
romantic love au serieux. The end to
which the whole story win lead will be
the murder of Z wife by her husband. 1t
will exhibit the deprivation of married
life by the substitution of romantic love,
Il fever born of carnal passion,
for Christian love, which is born
of identity OF sentiment, similarity of
ideal, the sentiment OF the soul. Upon
that love, Christian love, the love of
brother and sister, if the caynal love can
be grated it is well, but the former, not
the latter, is the. first condition Of happy
married life, Herein the peasants teach
us a lesson, They regard what we regard
rs romantic love rs a disease, temporary
and painful and dangerous With them
no marriage is made under its influence.
Anything is better than that. The Herr
staten, who marry by the drawing Of
lots, are wiser than'we, Our system Is
the worst possible, and the whole OF our
wedding ceremonial and the honeymoon,
the feasting and the Indictment TO carnal-
ity are directly calculated to.resuit in the
deprivation of inatrimony.
Not i'll one case out of hundred does
romantic love result in q lifelong happy
union. The young people whose lives lie
i'll different orbits are drawn together by
This evanescent passion. They marry.
For Il month they are happy-perhaps
even for year, or two years. Then
they hate each other for the rest of their
lives, spending their time in paying
homage to the responsibilities by conceal
ing the truth from their neighbOrs. 1t
must be so. If Anna Harenina had
married Leven she must have Abandoned
him likewise. Romantic love is like
opium or hashish The sensation is over
towering and delightful. But it passes.
1t is not in human nature not to wish
TO renew the experience. For this
novelty is Indispensable. So the wife be-
trays her husband, ana the husband is
false to his wife, and the world becomes
one wide brothel. | wish to open the
eyes of all to the real nature and the
tragic consequences of this substitution
of romantic for Christian love. | see it
cearly-ohl so clearly-and when you
see q thing which no one else seems to
see you feel you must gather all your
forces and devote yourself to setting forth
the truth as you see it. This deprava-
ton of marriage is all because Christian
ity has been word and not thing. 1t
viii, however, be Il reality again soon.

New ORLEANS, La, Dec. 19.-The
Picayune's Wahalek special says the
tragedy if about over. Three of the
leading actors are in the hands of the
avengers and six more are hedged in so
that escape seems impossible. The hunt
began early this morning. The names of
the three captured are: Dick Cheat

The first two are in custody and the latter
is under surveillance. Wilder was caught
at store in Shuqulak. A search of his

Dancing as an Exercise.
New York Tribune.

''By the present mode Of dancing every
muscle in the body is exercised. As an
exercise it is now considered to be superior
to horseback riding, and parents send
their children here to acquire a graceful
carriage. we teach persons to dance all
the way from five years of age up to
sixty. The children, even at the age of
five, learn to dance well, and derive as
much if not more amusement from the
exercise than grown people. To be good
dancer it is necessary, as in all other
things, to get the first principles firmly
fixed in your mind. Any combination
that can possibly be invented can be
learned in ten minutes if you know the
cardinal principles and apply them. The
trouble with most people is that they
don t know what they are doing. Pfac-
tically, they don t know whether they
are sliding or hopping. OF course,
that is the fault of the teach
ers to great extent, as they
do not carefully analyze the
dances. They can show how step should
be taken but they cannot explain it. 1
can teach a class while sitting down when
Aey have once mastered the principles,
and l will not move foot, but do it all
by talking. According to my way of
thinking, there are only five movements,
the slide, the step, change, leap
ana hop, and all dances are made
up from these movements. Some
teachers claim that there are six move
ments, but have never been able to find
the extra one, as do not consider halt,
a movement. Learn those FIVE move
ments and you know every dance that
can be invented, for all the combinations
of those five can only make 120 in all.
You can put in an extra movement how
ever, and in that way the number of
dances be largely increased -
