DISCOVERIES MADE BY ACCIDENT.
The Curious Way Certain Important Pro-
cesses Were Suggested.
ylI

The Curious Way Certain Important Pro-
cesses We're Suggested.
From London 7id Bits.
Valuable discoveries have been made
and valuable inventions suggested by the
veriest accidents. An alchcmist, while
seeking to discover mixture Of earths
that would make the most durable cruci-
bles, one day found that he had made
porcelain. The power of lenses, as ap-
piled TO the telescope, was discovered by
a watchmakcr's apprentice. While hold
ing spectacle glasses between his thumb
and finger he was startled at the sud-
denly enlarged appearance of neighbor-
ing church spire. The art Of etching
upon glass was discovered by a Nurem-
burg glass cutter. BY accident few
drops of aqua fortis fell upon his spec
tacles. 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 varnish, APP
the glass around the drawing. When the
varnsh was removed the figures APP
peared raised upon dark ground.
Mezzotinto owes its invention to the
simple accident of the gun barrel of a
sentry becoming rusty with dew. The
swaying to and fro of n chandelier in a
cathedral suggested to Galileo the appli-
cation of pendulum. Tho art of ltho.
graphing was perfected through suggess
tions made by accident. A poor musi-
clan was curious to know whether music
could not be etched upon stone as well as
upon copper. After he had prepared his
slab his mother asked him to make II
memorandum of such clothes as she pro-
posed to send away to be washed. Not
having pen, ink and paper conyenient he
wrote the list on the stone with the etch-
ing preparation, intending TO make o
copy of 1t at leisure. A few days later,
when about to clean the stone, he won
dered what effect aqua fortis would have
upon it. He applied the acid, and In II
few minutes saw the writing standing
out in relief. The next step necessary
was simply to ink the stone and take oil
an impression.
The shop of Dublin tobacconist by
the name of Lundyfoot was destroyed
by fire. While he was gazing dolefully
into the smouldering ruins he noticed
that his poorer neighbors were gathering
the snuff from the canisters. He tested
the snuff for himself, and discovered
that the fire had largely improved its
pungency and aroma 1t was hint
worth profiting by. He secured another
shop, built a lot of ovens, subjected the
snuff to a heating process, gave the
brand peculiar name, and in few
years became rich through an accident
which he at first thought had com
pletely ruined him. The process of
whitening sugar was discovered in a Gu
rious way. A hen that had gone through
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. Experiments were instituted
and the result was that white clay came
to be used in refining sugar. The origin
of blue tinted paper came about by q
mere slip of the hand. The wife OF
William East, an English paper maker,
accidentally let a blue bag fall into one
of the vats of pulp.

A REMARKABLE TRICK.
wonderful Changes worked Upon Coin

wonderful Changes Worked Upon Coin
by Parsce Conjurer.
/ saw remarkable coniuring trick
performed by n Parsee on voyage from
London to Calcutta, says a writer in the
San Francisco Erdmihor. He was n
small landowner travelling for pleasure,
and had taken up conjurng for amuse-
ment. He asked for rupee, we all in
spected 1t; il was Il genuine rnpee Then
he gave II TO gentleman to hold, and
asked him to think of country in Eu-
rope.
After q moments pause the gentleman
who held the coin said he had thought
of country.
"Then open your hand" said the jug
gler. "See what YOU have got and tell
me II it is coin of the country you
thought Of"
1t was 5-franc piece, and our friend
had thought of France. He was going
to hand the coin to the Parsce, but the
latter said:
"No; pass 1t to another sahib." AS
happened to be the nearest the D franc
piece was handed to me- / looked
closely at it; then. shutting my hands,
thought of America. When l opened il
found a Mexican dollar. This handed
to n gentleman on my right. who, In
turn, thought of Russia. and, on opening
his hand, found Russian silver piece In
place of the Mexican dollar. The jug.
gler performed several other tricks dur
ing the voyage, but they were Of com
monplace kind, and in no way compare
bic to the coin trick, which have never
seen riyaled.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, Jan. 8 The troubles in Sa-
moa have brought tho German and
American governments into a contro-
versy which bids fair to result in a serious
misunderstanding of long duration, If,
indeed, it goes no further. The Ger
man representatives in Samoa are try
ing hard to make it appear that the diff
ficulty has been precipitated by the med
ding of Americans jealous of the head
way which Germany was making in
that benighted country, and the authori-
ties in Berlin seem eager to accept the
Representations of their agents as incon-
vertible facts.
However pragmatical some of the
American residents and officials may
have been in taking cognizance Of the
respective claims of the rival kings,
Malietoa and Tamsese, the attempt of
the Germans to make 1t appear that the
alleged leader of the rebels-one Klein
is an American seems to be rather far
fetched. Klein may be an American
citizen, though there is some doubt
about this, but kis name indicates his
undeniable German extraction, and con-
sequently his indisputable German SYM
pathies That the American Consul at
Apia has exceeded the limits of
his authority seems to be matter be-
yond dispute, and 1t is the opinion of
Americans here and in Berlin that the
sooner he is recalled the better 1t will be
for the interests of his government and
himself.
The representations which are certain
to be made by the government at Berlin
to the authorities in Washington con-
cerning the recent occurrences in Samoa
will probably throw some light on the
unfortunate happenings there as regards
the measure of intermeddling for which
Americans are responsible, but at present
it is left TO appear that Germany was
altogether in the right and America de-
cidedly in the wrong The position
taken by the German authorities is, how
ever, untenable, and it will more likely
be discovered that German aggression
has been more powerful factor in the
disturbances than has American inter
ference

The labor of lifetime was swept away in less

They sat opposite each other in street
paper at her. A jolt of the car caused
her to look up and her glance met his.
He dropped his paper and stared full
in her face. Her eyes fell.
Knowing by some mysterious power
that he was still looking at her, she
suddenly Strengthened up and looked
him calmly in the eye with an express
sion of dignity and rebuke.
Not in the least abashed he was about
to change his seat to one beside her
when the conductor asked for fares.
The young mau fumbled in several
pockets and produced nickel, only to
drop it on the floor.
The girl made a quick little move
ment and relapsed into her former quiet
dignity. The dude and conductor
peered under the seats, but did not find
the coin.

the conductor.
"But l did"
"You didn't. I didn't dropit. You
did"
"But I"
"Pay your fare or get off"
The young man looked despairingly at
the conductor, and felt again in his
pockets and got off.
The toe of the little working girl s
small boot protruded just far enough to
push toward the conductor the missing
nickel it had covered. - Exchange.
