LUCKY PHOTOGRAPH.

In n discussion between several learned
gentlemen concerning modern inventions
and the marvellous appliances of science,
lanes Beaufranc, great, brown, boy
ish fellow. with merrier countenance
than is generally considered to be be-
coming to professor of mathematics
was asked to tell in his turn what he
thought was the most useful discovery
of the human mind.
"Whatl You dare to pretend that the
greatest wonders of modern times are
steam, explosives, electricity, and know
not what! As if it were a pleasure to
travel so fast that you cannot enjoy the
scenery on either hand; to speak through
the telephone to a person whose face you
cannot see, or to have your tooth pulled
out, even without pain, by wad of
some mysterious chemical, come from
God knows werel In truth, you gentle
men. though you are reputed to be very
wise, appear to me to be very foolish"
The paradoXes of the young professor
caused a general smile, but James Beau
franc continued imperturbably
MY own idea is that inventions are
valuable only in direct ratio to the hap
piness which they procure. That is why
find YOUR railroads odious, your cannon
monstrous, your dynamite absurd. And
for other reasons find but one laudable
modern discoverv-onev which is univer-
sally benefcial-a science which is also
an art
