Ono of the greatest discoveries ever
made was the result Of the purest acct
dent. 1t was the year 1896. The citi-
zens of Munich had just witnessed the
first triumphant performance of Mozart's
opera Don juan and the theatcr was
deserted by all save one man, Alois Sen
nefelder, who, after making round Of
inspection in the building to see that no
sparks had ignited anything combusti-
Ole, retired TO his room to stamp the
tickets of admission for the day follow
ing. When he entered his apartment, he
had three things in his hand-a polished
milestone which he had purchased for
sharpening raZors. Il ticket stamp still
moistened with printing ink and check
on the treasurer Of the theatcr for his
weekly salary. AS he placed the latter
upon the table Il gust of wind swept il
nigh up in his room for a moment and
then deposited it in basin filled with
water.
Sennefeldcr dried the wet paper as
well as he could and then weighted it
