CHILD INVENTORS.
History OF the FIRST Telescope and tho
Argaad burner.

History or the first Telescope and tho
Argaod turner.
That many children have great in
genuity of mind in fashioning toys OF
various kinds is well known. That
they have very frequently turned this
quality TO good use in the invention and
construction of some of our most use
full mechanical appliances is attestcd by
the following instances:
The children of n Dutch spectacle
maker happened TO be playing one day
with some of their fathers glJsses in
front of the shop door. Placing two
OF the glasses together they peeped
through them, and were exceedingly
astonished to see the weather cock OF
the neighboring steeple brought within
a short distance OF their eyes. They
were naturally puzzled, and called their
father 10 see the strange sight.
When the spectacle maker looked
through the glasses he was no less SUR
prised than the children had been. He
went indoors and thought the matter
over, and then the idea occurred TO him
that he might construct a curious new
toy which would give people good deal
of amusement. Not long after the tele-
scope was an accomplished fact.
a poor Swiss, named Argand, in
vented a lamp with wick fitted into
n hollow cylinder, thus giving a supply
OF oxygen to the interior as well as the
exterior OF the circular flame. At first
Argand used the lamp without glass
chimney, the invention of which inn
portant adjunct would doubtless have
been delayed for some time had il not
been for the thoughtless experiments of
his little brother.
One day when Argand was busy in his
workroom, and sitting before the burn
ing lamp, this boy was amusing him
self by placing n bottomless oil flask
over different articles. Suddenly he
placed il upon the flame OF the lamp,
which instantly shot up the long
circular neck OF the flask with increased
brillancy. Argand did not allow such
a suggestive occurrence TO escape him.
The idea OF the lamp chimney almost
Immediately came into his head, and
in n short time his invention was per-
