ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
An Arkan,a. Boy In wa,hlng,o,.

The navy department at Washington
has many experiences with inventors,
but one OF the most novel occurred the
bther day.
A boy, hardly 10 years OF age, with a marked
foreign accent, called a tie office Of the secrc-
tary OF the navy, and sa d he came in response
TO letter from the department. This letter
dated some months ago, was In reply to one
sent by the boy, who GAINED to have dis
covered a substance which would render yes
Bels unsinkable. He refused in his original
letter to disclose the nature Of his discovery
or the process OF manufacture involved. The
department had written the usual stereolyped
answer, saying nothing could he done until
more was known OF the device. The boy,
without means, had walked all tho way from
Arkansas to Washington, for the purpose of
thowing to the oficiAls what he believed would
make his fortune,
As soon as his pathetic story was known he
was treated with much consideration. lie was
bent TO Chief Constructor Hichborn. who lis'
tened kindly to bis story. The constructor had
been himself poor boy, and realized the prlya-
tlons through which the boy before him must
have gone to reach Washington, only to meet
