Discoveries Redlscovered.

Hist is not the only thing that re
peats itself. Discovery does the same
The Contemporary Review tells us
that we are not nearly as much ahead of
the ancients as it pleases us to believe.
Many of our discoveries are but reds
coveries, improved -pon, doubtless, but
not altered in nature. The ancients
knew of the lightning conductor, or, at
all events, the method of attracting
lightning. Celetic soldiers in a storm
used to lie on the ground, first lighting
torch and planting their naked swords
in the ground by their side with the
point upward. The lightning often
struck the sword and passed away with
out injuring the warrior.
The Romans, also, seemed to have
known the lightning rod. On the top
of the highest tower OF the Castle of
Dunio. on the Adriatic, there was set,
from the immortal, long rod of iron.
In the stormy weather of summer it
served to predict the approach of tenn
pes. A soldier was always stationed by
it when the sea showed threatening
storm. From time to time he put the
point of his long javelin close to the rod
Whenever a spark passed between the
two pieces of iron ne rang a bell to warn
the fishermen.
Gerbert, in the Tenth Century, invent
ed plan by diverting the lightning
from fields by planting in them long
sticks tipped with very sharp lance
heads.
In 1862 France was already in possess
ion of omnibuses. The Romans sank
artesian wells even in the Saraha. In
1855 Papin published in the Journal des
Savants an account of an experiment
made by one of his friends, who caused
flowers to grow instantaneously. The
secret which was not revealed lay in
the preparation of the ground.
Massage is a very ancient practice
and was known to the Romans. Par
CELSIUS speaks of homeopathy, and says
that like is cured by like, and not con-

The Greeks had a wooden or linen |

Gold has been found In variety OF
queer places, among others In the dust
shaken from chickens feathers, in the
crops OF wild turkeys. and between the
toes OF a wolf hound. The latest odd
place for gold is as u filling for deer's
teeth. and IL is told Of in the Nidologist
b. John A. Bryant. of Kansas City. Mo.
A Kansas City taxidermist was found
IN great state of excitement by Mr..
Bryant. He had recently got two deer
heads for mounting from Colorado.
The jaws OF both deer were being
soraped, and then the taxidermist OBJ
served peculiar substance crusted on
the teeth. This sediment was brownish
yellow in color. and just for FOOLS luck
the man scraped ii off and sent IL TO
an assayer. The assayer got a lump OF
gold. pure, yellow gold, from the stuff,
and the taxidermist made haste TO find
out the precise locality where the deer
were killed. Then he asked about the
deer ticks where the animals got their
salt. He doesn't know yet whether the
gold came from salt lick or from the
dust blown onto the grass or browse
on which the deer fed.
The taxidermist said that the deer
were killed not more than 100 miles
from the Cripple Creek gold mines,
and further, that he knows the spot
exactly. He thinks that IL deer can
get gold filing for their teeth in the
ordinary course of nature, man
can get bushels of IL. He has so much
faith in this that he Is going to sell out

Historic Building Fired by Spark from

Boston. May ia spark from a
painters pipe caused a 100000 prop
erty loss at Nahant, the peninsular
summer resort down the harbor, Mon
day. But the money loss is not as Sc
verely felt as Is the destruction OF the
historic Longfellow cottage, which
went first before the flames. For two
weeks carpenters and painters havc
been at work on this historic summer
residence, putting IL in readiness for
occupancy by its owner, Miss Alice
Longfellow, daughter of the poet. A
high wind, almost cyclonic in force,
prevailed all day. About 3:45 o'clock
p. m. spark from painters pipe ig-
nited the dry grass on the lawn and
soon burned the lattice work under the
piazzn. Strenuous efforts were made
10 extinguish the blaze, but the wind
swept it over the newly-painted sides
OF the house and In Is minutes the
building was doomed. The fire depart
ment was unequal to the task of coping
with such blaze and was further ham
pered by an inadequate water supply.
The Longfellow cottage was for years
the summer home of the poet, and here
u was that he composed and wrote
THE Bells of Lynn" and numerous
other famous poems. The house was
valued at $4,000 and was partly in
surcd.
