The work of the new registrars Of vo-
tiers under the new registration Law begins
next Monday. The only important new
feature In the new law is the definition of
domicile; aud to make that clear to the
people the registrars have published In
their official notice of the times and
places Of meeting the statutory provisions
bearing thereon. Because 1t is new and
unused, some frictien may possibly arise
between the officer who lie sworn to carry
out the law, and the individual who may
think its application in bis case works
hardship.

GREAT INvENTIoNs.

They DO Not Come by Chance ne Many
Thous htisas Writers Assert.
The traditions OF great discoveries
that have come by chance are. for the
most part. myths. True. a lucky acci-
dent may occasionally give hint 10 an
inventive mind that will help toward a
long contemplated contamination. but
such an occurrence Is only q link In a
chain OF circumstances all tending to-
ward a common end. Sir Isaac New
ton got such hint in his philosophical
researches when. on certain occasion,
he noted the falling of an apple. He
had seen many apples fall before that
time. no doubt. and no day OF his pre-
vious life could have passed without
prese nting 10 his sight similar occur
rences having the same relation 10 the
object OF his study. But that particu-
lar apple happened 10 fall and be no.
ticed by him just when his study OF
the greatest OF all philosophical prob
lens had reached the right point TO
make the object lesson valuable. Ira
dition gives another alleged accident
the familiar story OF the kettle-as
the turning point in the discovery or
invention OF the steam engine. but he
who studies the life and work OF James
Watt will find that there was nothing
accidental In the kettle incident 1t
