A Little Girls Discovery.

Some of the most important discov-
cries have been made accidentally.
A lucky instance of this kind was the
discovery of the invention of the tel
escope.
Nearly three hundred years ago
there was living in the town of Mid
dleburg, on the island of Walcheren,
in the Netherlands, poor optician
named Hans Lippersheim.
One day, in the year 1908 he was
working in his shop, his children help
ing him or amusing themselves with
the tools and objects lying about,
when suddenly his little girl ex-
claimed:
ooh, papa! see how near the stee-
pie comes.''
Half startled by this announcement,
Hans looked up from his work, anx-
ious to know the cause of the child S
amaZement.
Turning towards her, he saw that
she was looking through two lenses,
one held close to the eye, the other
at arms length; and calling his
daughter to his side, he noticed that
the eye lens was piano-concave, while
the one held at the distance was piano.
convex.
Then taking the two glasses, he
repeated his daughters experiment,
and soon discovered that she had
CHANGED to hold the tense apart at the
proper focus, and this had produced
tin aA~ gjt.S'g sssqt til9t shs Asa ph-
served.
His quick wit saw in this a wdner-
full discovery. He Immediately pet
about making use of his new kbdEl-
edge of lenses, and ere long he lad
fashioned tube of pasteboard in
which he set the glasses at tlfir
proper focus, and so the teles cpe
was invented.

DIR. JAMES p. CAMPBELL:
DEAR SIR-Viewed from a "complexionaP'

sex should render verdict as to the efficacy of
Campbell's Arsenic Waters, neither member
of this firm ever having had occasion to use
them in that particular direction.
But as a reliable STOMACHIC, NERVE tonic
BRAIN nutrient and INVIGORANT we say
without the slightest hesitation that we have
Jointly derived great salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almost network of open
trenches, emitting unhealthy and noXious
vapors, our SENIOR used the waters most sue
cessfully in overcoming an attack of malaria
and in wardmg off other yistatons of that
most persistent alment and Mr.. Hummel de-
clares emphatically that there is NOTHING to
equal Campbell's Waters, when one realizes
the necessity of quilting ones self together"
We know "Whereof we write," so please ac
cept this honest expression of our convictions
regarding the wonderful waters bearing your
name.

Little Fannie's Conclusion.
From American Housekeeping.
Lizzie was in disgrace, and little
golden-haired, brown-eyed Fannie,
stood listening with sad-faced earnest
ness to the reprimand her sister was
receiving from their mother.
Out through the bay window of the
sitting-room could be seen the broad
expanse of Lake Michigan, broken by
great incoming, white-capped waves
that dashed shower of misty spray
high above the break-water along the
North Shore Drive. The room was n

the windows, did all that sunshine

BRITISH OFFICERS WATCHING THE EFFECT
OF THE MOTOR BOMBs
head OF said bay. ihe castelIated struct-
ure was rather old, the fortress some
what less so; and both had long been
considered useless, as there was no prob
ability that an enemy would land at this
point on the coast.
Caerdaff was therefore selected as the
spot to be operated upon. No one could
for moment imagine that the syndicate
had mined this place, and if it should be
destroyed by motor bombs it would prove
to the country that the government had
not been frightened by the tricks of
crafty enemy.
An hour after the receipt of the note
in which it was stated that Caerdaff had
been selected, the syndicate's fleet start
ed for that place. The crabs were ele-
vated to cruising height, the repeller
taken in tow, and by the afternoon of
the next day the feet was lying off Caer-
daft. A note was sent on shore to the
officer in command, stating that the
bombardment would begin at 10 o'clock
in the morning of the next day but one,
and requesting that information of the
hour appointed be instantly transmitted
to London. When this had been done,
the feet steamed six or seven miles off
shore, where it lay to or cruised about
for two nights and day.

lected Caerdaff for bombardment imme-
diate measures were taken to remove the
small garrisons and the inhabitants of
the fishing village from possible danger.

Is the Earth in Danger
from the Drill?

Prof. Joseph F. Jones answers,
in a recent issue of the Popular
Science Monthly, the question,
us it safe to drill the earth too
much?" The professor assumes
the earth to be a hollow sphere
filed with a gaseous substance,
called by us natural gas, and he
thinks that tapping these reser-
voirs will cause disastrous explo-
sions, resulting from the lighted
gas coming in contact with that
which is escaping. He compares
the earth to balloon floated and
kept distended by the gas in the
interior, which, if exhausted, will
cause the crust to collapse, affect
motion of the earth in its orbit,
cause it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies. and fall in pieces,
Another writer thinks that drill
ing should be prohibited by strin.
gent laws. He, too, thinks there
is possibility of an explosion
though from another cause
Should such disaster occur
'the country along the gas bell
from Toledo through Ohio, Indi
ana, and Kentucky will be ripped
up to the depth of 1000 #. OF
1900 it,, and Topped over like :
pancake, leaving a chasm through
which the waters of Lake Erie
will come down, filing the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys, and blot
ting them out forever"
Still another theorist has inves
tigated the gas wells with tele
phones and delicate thermome
tiers, and he announces startlin,
discoveries. He distinguishes
sounds like the boiling of rocks
and estimated that a mile and one
half or so beneath the Ohio an,
Indiana gas field the temperatur
of the earth is $500 degrees.
The scientist says an immens
cavity exists, and that here tn
gas is stored, that a mile belo,
the bottom of the cavity is a mas
of roaring, seething fame, whic
is gradually eating into the roe
floor of the cavern and thinnin
it. Eventually the flames wi
reach the gas, aud a terrific e,
