RillOli. anu ullQcT the manipulation of his skillful fingers its utility became more-and more apparent until. subjected while dramatically sealed to the action of intense heat, the triumph was secured in the production of that vulcanite (hard rubber) now so familiar in a thousand useful shapes, besides that for which it was originally intended. This invention was further perfected with the assistance of Goodyear, who is often erroneously credited with it's origi- ual production.
 After several years of independent prac- tice mostly spent in Lancaster, Pa.. Dr Evans was sent for as the most compe- tent American dentist to take part in on important consultation to be held in Paris, and thither departed with his young wife, not dreaming of his future connection with and celebrity at the worlds capital His knowledge and skill in his profession, coming as it did from the then almost unconsidered New World, acted in tln5 nature of thunderbolt in the midst of those practitioners estab- ished in Europe, and they had hardly re- covered from their surprise ere they found him ensconced at their head. Among. his early clients was the new prince president of the French republic, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. who found in the young for eigner not only the full measure of pro fessional competency claimed for him, but a high minded and progressive intelli- gence which recommended him as a de- sirable friend. Nor did the amity date from this late period The elder Evans had (during the months of his American residence) been the comrade and bene- factor of Joseph Bonaparte to an extent that was recognized as family indebted ness of gratitude.
 Mutual tastes and mutual afTinities tended to draw the two ambitious spirits into the ties of warm personal intimacy which the death of Napoleon alone sev- cred. His relationship to the emperor of the French has of course been productive of situations and events which would fill a dozen volumes. From 1t grew his inti- mate relations with nearly all the poten- tates of Europe, to whom from time to time he has rendered the most important services and received princely rewards. Not the least undertaking which he brought to successful termination was l the removal from the mouth of Prince Oscar of Sweden of an eccentric growth 1 of wisdom teeth which took the form oi horrible boar line tusks, which forcing l themselves into the flesh of his cheeks ! full rlaladies. Not alone were his profes sional services appreciated, but closer in timacy was accorded him than was en | joyed by many of the highest native no bility in the countries which he visited He became household favorito in many royal residences. At the time the kin& of Denmark was living in straitened cir cumstances in Halle it was Dr. Evan
 who became the favorite story teller t.
 the children who are today the empres of Russia, the princess of Wales and tn
 king of Greece. The affection of thi
 noble family for him was sincere and ha
 lasted to the present moment, extendin
 still further to the princes who hay
 found lovable consorts in his little play
 mates of other days. Dr. Evans was oR
 of the few personally invited to the COT

 the closest friends and at times travelic
 companions of the Prince and Princess [
