TOLD IN A DREAM.
The Inventor Of the Shot Tower Taught His
Principle at Night.


Principle at Night.
From the Boston Commonwealth.
Before Watts, the discoverer Of the present
mode Of making shot, had his notable dream,
induced by over-indulgence in stimulants, the
manufacture in question was slow, laborious
and consequently costly process. Great bars
Of lead had to be pounded into sheets Of thick
ness nearly equal to the diameter of the shots
desired. These sheets had then to be cut into
little cubes, placed in revolving barrel and
there rolled around until, by the constant fric-
ton, the edges wore off from the little cubes
and they become spheroids.
Watts had often raked his brain trying to dis
cover some better and less costly scheme, but in
vain. Finally, after spending an evening with
some boon companions at an ale house, he went
home, went to bed and soon fell asleep. His
slumbers, however, were disturbed by unwel-
come dreams, in one of which he was out with
1.-THE boys" and as they were stumbling home
it began to rain shot-beautiful globules of pol
ished shining lead-in such numbers that he
and his companions had to seek shelter
In the morning Watts remembered his curl
GUS dream and it obtruded itself on his mind all
day. He began to wonder what shape molten
lead would assume in falling through the
air. and finally, to set his mind ut rest, he
assembled to the top of the steeple of the Church
OF st. Mary at Radcliffe and dropped slowly and
regularly ladleful of molten lead into the moat
below. Descending. he took from the bottom
OF the shallow pool several handfuls of the most
perfect shot he had ever seen. Watts fortune
was made, for from this exploit emanated the
idea Of the shot tower, which ever since has
been the olny means employed in the manufac-
ture OF the little missiles SO important in war
and sport.

The Problem of the Citv Dog.

To the Editor of The Evening Star
The hot days are here and the dog problem is
being considered more actively than ever in all
its complex bearings. In the first place there
are, unquestionably, too many dogs in Wash
ington, think hundred, perhaps, where there
should be one (and that one always of pure
stock. But is the present system of dog
catching with all its attendant violence and dis
tress to those who witness and those who suffer
the loss, making the number of dogs less in the
city of Washington? tell you no. 1t is draw
ing from the spigot while pouring in at the
bung, to reverse the old adage. A law passed
and enforced preventing the increase Of the
canine population would soon settle the dog
question. While the people are free to permit
their increase. ad hbitum, there is no hope.
The dog-catching establishment helps but does
not mend matters. just here a little sentiment
may be pardonable. People who do not
possess them are too apt to think of dogs
as dogs with big, big D." This
morning the fatal wagon invaded one outof-the
way corner of the town and the dear woman
who serves us with beautiful. honest mix and
cream saw both Of her fine dogs ca up into
it and driven away. tell you many tears and
prayers followed the splendid mastiff "Lassie''
and the beautiful imported Scotch collie
Watch, for they are general favorites all
along their route, where it is their daily morning
duty to watch the wagon and mind the horse
while their energetic mistress goes from house
to house. She has sick husband and little
children and these devoted dumb creatures
are like human friends to her, SO dearly
does she love them. But about the foregoing
suggestion, VIZ: prevention as the solution of
the problem of the city dog If the proper per-
sons would take the matter up and push it for
ward to a successful issue they would confer n
lasting benefit on the public. 1 think our dog
fanciers associations should be able to supply
suitable persons for this work. An article from
time to time by veterinary surgeons or expert
erced dog lovers. containing directions for the
care of dogs, both in health and sickness. would
do much to prevent the mad-dog panics that
are continually starting up. Two things cannot
be too earnestly urged upon those who own
dogs: First, the necessity of keeping an earthen
bowl of clean water where they can always get
at it to drink; second, the necessity of having a
cool, shady and quiet kennel or corner where
they can rest in hot weather. Dogs are inclined
to all disorders that arise from oyerheated and
excited brains. They have headache. they 70
crazy, have apoplexy, epilepsy and other kinds
OF spasms, but very, very rarely hydrophobia.
And to prevent al these observe the two simple
rules given above. and TO cure keep cold water
congresses on their heads and place them In a
darkened room or shed till all right again.
Their gratitude will repay thousand times for
the care. Exprp,rvcr

BETRAYED BY THE CAMERA,
photographs Reveal unsupported Blemishe
and Traits of Character.


and Traits of Character.
From the Boston Evening Transcript
1t Is well known that the Photographic camera
is keener in distinguishing things than the
human eye. The case is well known of the
photographer who took a picture of a woman
who appeared to be in good health and whose
skin seemed perfectly normal to the eyes of
those who met her. But in the Photographic
negative there were a lot of queer spots or
freckles upon the face, which the photographer
could not account for. They were not due to
anything in the process of taking the picture,
and they did not appear to be in the sitter's
face, but in twenty-four hours the woman came
down with smallpox, and it turned out that
the camera had detected the spots in the skin,
which no eye could as yet perceive. Well. the
case is one in which, SO to speak, the camera
has detected a kind Of moral spotting on a
human face.
A person whose parents on both sides had
been very bad in various ways and who. under
the laws of heredity, thoroughly entitled,
to be bad too, was, on the contrary. very ex-
emplary and thoroughly well behaved. Further
more, this person was handsome and noble of
feature and gentle and winning in facial ex-
preston. All who saw the face were at once
prepossessed by it. But whenever this person
was photographed something cruel and criminal
was sure to be revealed in the picture. If one
had been an expert in criminal neurology. if
there is any such science. he might have said
when asked to give an oginion Of the character
of the subject from the photograph, ''This per-
son is a forger or embezzler on a large scale
with strong tendency toward counterfeiting
and a perceptible leaning insthe direction of
homicide" All the vices of the persons an
cestors seemed to be revealed in the photograph.
Perhaps this supernatural sensitiveness of
the chemically prepared plate accounts for the
fact that photograph can almost always be
depended upon to bring out the worst that
there is in one. OF course, there is something
vicious ip everybody's ancestry. since every
body's ancestry takes in the entire population
OF great country if You go back far enough.
The viciousness that there is in you is latent
in your disposition, owing to favoring circum-
stances and influences, but it is not latent in
the chemically prepared plate, which has no
moral side to make allowances with; it spies
out the traces of the stifed hankerings and
perceives otherwise invincible evidences of
completely suppressed besetting sins, and
these it candidly reports on the Photographic
print We say that the photograph is truthful,
but it isn't If it reports person liar and
murderer, who is nothing of the kind. but who
has in his face some ordinary unperceved lines,
which are there because some of his ancestors
were bad, it is false thing.
