The Curious Way Certain important
PROCESSES We're Suggesfed.

Valuable discoveries have been made and
valuable inventions suggested by the YER
lest accidents. An alehemist, while seek.
ing TO discover a mixture of earths that
would make the most durable crucibles,
II day found hat he had made porcelain.
The power of lenses, as applied by the tel
escope, was discovered by a watchmaker's
apprentice. While holding spectacles be-
tween his thumb and finger he was startled
at the suddenly enlarged appearance of a
neighboring church spire. The art ofetch-
ing upon glass was discovered by a Nurem-
burg glass cutter. By accidents few drops
of aqua fortis fell upon bis spectacles. He
noticed that the glass became corroded and
softened where the acid had touched it.
That was hint enough. He drew figures
upon glass with varnish, applied the cor
roding fluid, then cut away the glass
around the drawing. When the varnish
was removed the figures appeared raised
upon a dark ground.
MeZzotinto owe its invention to a sim
pie accident of the gun barrel of a sentry
becoming rusty with dew. The swaying
to and fro of a chandelier in q cath
edral suggested to Calico the ap-
plication of a pendulum. The art of lith-
ographing was perfected through sugges-
tons made by accident. A poor musician
was uriou to know whether music could
not be etched upon stone as we'll as upon
copper. After he had prepared his slab
his mother asked him to make a memoran-
dunn of such clothes as she proposed to send
away to be washed. Not having pen, ink.
and paper convenient. he wrote the list on
the stone with the etching preparation, in
tending to make a copy of it at leisure. 4
few days later, when about to clean the
stone, he wondered what effect aqua foitis
would ave upon it. He applied the acid,
and in a few minutes saw the writing
standing ont in relief. The next step nee
essary was simply to ink the stone and take
off an impression.

While he was gazing delefully into the
~smoldering ruins he noticed that his poorer
~neighbors were gathering the snuff from
the canisters. He tested the snuff for him
self. and discovered that the fire had large
ly improved its pungeney and aroma. 1t
was a hint worth profitiug by. He secur-
ed another shop, built a lot of ovens, sub
jected the snntf to a heating process. gave
the brand a peculiar name, and in a few
years became rich through an accident
which he at first thought had completely
rained him. The process of whitening
sugar was discovered in a curious way. A
hen that had gone through a clay puddle
went with her muddy feet into a sugar
house. She left her tracks on a pile of
sugar. 1t was noticed that wherever her
tracks were the sugar was whitened. Ex-
periments were instituted, and the result
was that white clay came to be used in re-
fning sugar. The origin of blue tinted
paper came about by a mere slip OF the
hand. The wife of William East, an
English paper maker, accidentally let a
blue bag fall into Il of the watts of pulp.

THE BLACKSMITH AND THE DAISY.

Among. the daisies she nestled down,
And plucking one tiny bud,
She peeped through her lashes OF hazel bro yn
AT its beautiful crimson hood.
Then shaking the dew from its bonny head
She lifted it up to her lips.
And whispered his naine with a cheek as red
As the bloom on its fragrant tips.
sI love. i lover and her voice grew bland
As the breeze from the gentle south;
" glove, 1 lover'-but a strong brown hand
Was laid on her smiling mouth.
"fou love, you lover and the brown hand
twined
Through the waves of her sunny hair,
They love, they love- sang the t%ell.tale
wind,
Through the locks Of the whispering pair.
The shy wee daisy was borne away
From the futtering gir1ish breast,
And the rough smith smiled as it coyly lay
In the crease of his open vest,
As though it were grazing the loneliest place
In the forge where he daily toiled;
II smiled through the smoke with its sweet
round face,
Till It's leaves were all smeared and soiled.
Up went his sledge with a right good will,
Then down with a merry clang;
LQnder and louder, and londer still,
As he whistled the tunes she sang.
He tossed his crisp locks as he fondIy cried:
GLOW happy this toiling viii be.
When You, love, are tending our own ingle-
side,
And waiting my darling, for me.
Through the lights and shadow of forty
years
Isee You with wrinkled brow:

One day I found a toad waiting at nv
greenhouse door.
well, p I said, ''come in if you want to:
guess you'll pay your way; at any rate it
won't cost much to board you." He SEEM
&c to understand my words, for in he hop
ped and rested on the walk to look about
nim. He must have sent some word by
telephone to his friends Of bis discovery,
for only two mornings afterward, at the
very same door, there sat another toad.
We'll" | said, surely this is a COM
mittee on greenhouses, and here is No. 2.
Won't you walk in too?" And as | push
ed open the door, in he went. The fourth
morning | let in No. 8, a monstrous toad.
Once in the house they showed no desire
to get out; and in a few days | began to be
surprised to see what wise little creatures
they were.
They were just as unlike as three boys
could be! Tom was rather shy M kept
by himself. Jerry was sociable, and soon
followed me all around. Sam was too
large and too old to hop very briskly, and
would spend a whole forenoon looking out
the window, or climbing along the rough
stone wall that forms one side of the green
house.
L began to teach them to know me, by
making a certain sound, and calling them
by name, as | worked around the plants.
Jerry was the first to make friends. Before
long, wherever | might be busy, h quick
ly made his way toward me, and was at
once rewarded with a worm or slug. And
how cunningly he ate it. He would pre-
tend at first that he did not see it; sudden
ly be would turn around, and, with head
down. watch it as a cat watches a mouse,
each toe twitching. Then a sudden grab,
and the worm was in his mouth. He al
ways had a hard time swallowing it, and,
when it was fairly down, he would give
one last gulp of delight. Pretty soon they
would come when I put out my hand. and
at last would climb into my hand to get
their food. / often filled a tin dish with
slugs and worms, and to see the three
toads around it eating was very amusing.
One day in February Jerry acted strange
ly. He kept lifting his legs and seemed
uneasy. noticed a thin skin rolled up
about the middle of his back. He put up
his right leg and drew it out of this skin
as easy as papa takes off his overcoat, and
then did the same with his left foot. He
rolled up the skin, stuffed it down his
throat and swallowed it; and there he was
with a bright green coat on. He had
taken off his winter coat and put on his
spring suit. The gentle heat of the green
house had made him think that spring
had come, for it was a little early for spring
garments. Later. the other two toads did
the same.
These toads are dainty little things.
They utterly refuse to eat a lead bug or
worm. There is nothing vicious about
them. Their little tongues are soft as
silk. Inever heard bat one of them make
the least sound, and that was the smallest
kind of squeal, when greatly frightened.

windows and was looking out dejectedly,
did not even glance up.

That's where you sold Vixen, papa,

Laeas saw a culver pass over Georges
face as the child spoke.
Eyes, my boy, | sold Vixen to Lawyer
Stanley. George" turning to his SOD,
I've made up my mind to part with that
ffty-acre lot by the river. What do you
think of that?1

father as If he thought he had not heard

hardwood, to have and to hold as he sees
fit, without question or advice"
ITO mel You intend to give that fifty
acres to me-, father?"
Yes, my boy, and with my whole
heart. You've been a good son, George,
and only wish I were able to do more for
you. But I'm not a rich man, as you
know, and | have your mother and the
three little ones to provide for, too. Still,
want you to have a start, and this fifty
acre lot will yield you a handsome profit.
You can have three days in a week to call

to work it, and il you choose to break in

anything else in this world.',
And he buried his face in the pretty
creatures name. and in spite of his eigh-
teen years, fairly broke down and sobbed
aloud.
That ended Georges desire to leave the
farm. He was never again heard to men
ton the subject, and he grumbled no more
about the hard work and the monotony of
his life, bat in every way tried to show his
appreciation of his fathers kindness.
In fact, Eli HARDWOOD was wont to say
occasionally in confidence to his wife, that
he had reason to bless his sister-in-law for
her good advice, and that he owed it to
her that he had a stalwart arm to lean on
in his advancing years.
