Two Accidental Discoveries

The shop of a Dublin tobacconist by
the name Of Lundyfoote was de
stroycd by fire. While lac was gazing
dolefully at The smolderIng ruins, he
noticed that his poorer neighbors were
gathering the snuff from the canisters.
He tested the snuff himself aud dis
covered that the fire had largely in
creased It's pungcncy and aroma.
Here was a hint worth profiting by.
He secured another shop, built a lot Of
ovens, subjected the snuff toa heating
process. gave the brand a particular
name, and in a few wears became rich
through an accident which lac at first
thought had completely ruined 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 SUI.
gar house. She left her tracks on a
pile of sugar. IL was noticed that
wherever her tracks were the sugar
was whitened. Experiments were in
stitutcd and the result wa that wet
clay came To be used in refining sugar.

What Capt. Marshall has now 20 do In
the way OF Hennepin canal Work.
Yesterdays Chicago Nescs had among
its Washington dispatches the following:
Gen. Casey, the'chief of engineers. said
today that after the passage of the river
and harbor bill he had informed Capt
William Marshall. the engineer in charge
OF the Hennepin canal, that there was an
appropriation of $500 900 for work on
that enterprise and asked him to submit
plan as to the manner in which il
should be expended. Capt. Marshall re
sponded by submitting very elaborate
and carefully considered report, in which
be suggested that the money be expended
for the dam and lock on Rock river, as
recommended in his original report, upon
which the appropriation was based. II
appears that after the passage of the bill
by the house of representatives it was
sent to the senate. where an amendment
offered by Senator German was added.
providing that the secretary could in his
Judgment change the sizes and locations
of the various locks. Senator German,
in Offering this amendment, explained
that he had for many years been
engaged in the management OF
canal and knew from per-
sonsl experience that boats of a GER
tain size were more economical aud con-
venient than those of other size aud de-
sign. Ii was thought necessary by him,
therefore, that the secretary of war
should make investigation to determine
upon the size aud design of boats to be
used and that the locks should be made
to conform to them.
Upon the receipt of Captain Msrshall's
plans the chief of engineers called his at
tention to the suggestions of Mr.. Gormsn
and Instructed him to make thorough
Investigation of the character of boats
used upon artificial waterways in this
country and Europe for the purpose OF
determining which size and kind were
most suitable for transportation purposes
on such channels as the proposed canal
Capt. hsrshsll will therefore devote the
next few weeks to this investigation, and
upon his report the secretary of war will
determine whether to adopt the specifica,
tons for lccks already submitted
or change them in accordance with the
discretion permitted him by the act Of
congress

BEAR THIS In MIND.
Gssr Has Always Been Against the
People.

People.
Gest never got an appropriation in
congress for anything All the money
that has ever been obtained from that
source came in spite of Gest. The money
for the viaduct and the viaduct itself
were obtained against the stubborn oppo
sition of Gest.
The money for the arsenal shops came
through the regular appropriations. aud
if Gest had had friend who was op-
posed to it our Congressman would have
voted against it.
The money for arsensl improvements
came in the same way
The appropriations for the Moline
Water Power Pool. the Port Byron bar.
the Nauvoo bar, and the Des Moines rap
ids were all granted through the river
an hsrbor bill. which bill Gest had no
more to do with than any other congress
man who voted for it. Imagine Gest
framing bill for an appropriation, in

men in favor of it, presenting its merits
