LITTLE THINGs.

1t is cur Gus 10 note that many things
which have turned out most useful dis
coyeries for man, having grea. influ-
ence upon the lives and destinies of
mankind owe their beginning to some
slight accident.
1t is said that the art of printing took
its origin from some rude impressions
taken (for the amusement of children)
from letters carved on the bark of a
beech tree
Gunpowder was discovered from the
falling of spark on some material
miXedin a mortar.
The stupendous results of the steam
engine may all be traced to the boy Mho
sat watching the steam which came
from the tea-kettle.
Electricity was discovered by person
observing that a piece of rubbed glass
attracted small bits of paper.
Pendulum clocks wore invented after
Calico stood observing the lamp in a
cburcd swinging TO and fro.
The telescope we owe to some children
of spectacle-maker placing TWO or
more pair OF spectacles before each other
and looking through them at the distant
sky. their idea was followed up bY older
heads
Sir Isaac Newton was siitingin his gar
den one day when he saw an apple tall
from tree. This common occurance
set HIM to thinking why Things should
fall down and not up, and this train Of
thought led him 10 the discovery Of
the law of oravit ition
Every one can now appre ciate tho i'm
portance Of the slight matters spoken of,
because the wonderful results are now
before the world But the beginning OF
these things were treated with ridicule
or contempt. No matter how unimpor-
tant circumstance appears. it is quite
possible that great results may come
from it. la small building which was
once Peter the Greats VIZ rkshop in Hol-
land is the inscription: "Nothing is too
little for the attention of a great man.

The Argentine Confederation Oh the
Eve of Its Periodical Revolution.

BUENos AYREs, April 4.-The
energy of President Pelligrini and
Chief Police Donovan, displayed on
the discovery OF a dynamite plot among
the radicals, doubtless saved the coun-
try, for time, at least, from being
plunged into tie throes Of revolution.
The plot has been Matching for some
time. and there is no doubt but that
the plotters intended to move yesterday.
The prompt arrest Of the leaders has
temporarily eowed the radical clubs
and with the majority of the radical
leaders in custody and the presidential
candidate of their party under police
the ranks of the revolutionists do not
know which way to turn. 1t is ru
mored that in the numerous conflicts
in all parts of Buenos Ayres with the
police, some radicals were killed. Thi
report lacks confirmation, for th'
widest stories are afloat.
