FOUND BY ACCIDENT.
How Some of the Most Important
Discoveries Were Made.

An Augustinian monk, Berthold
schwartz having put a composition of
sulphur and saltpeter in a mortar, it took
fire. and the stone that covered it was
blewn off with great violence, which ac

bez7used to much advantage in attacking
fortified places. He accordingly added to
it quantity of charcoal, to render 1t
more apt to take fire and increase COM

plumber who one night about the year

Dream that he was out in shower of
molten lead, which fell in the form of
spherical drops. His curiosity being
aroused. he went next day to the top of a
Church and poured some melted lead into
a vessel of water lying below. To his
great delight he found that the lead had
gathered, into beautifully-formed globular
balls, and he at once took out a patent
Al Nuremburg glass cutter happened to
let some aquafortis fall upon his specta-
cIes. and noticed that the glass was cor
roded and softened where the acid had
touched it. Taking the hint. he made a
liquid, then drew some figures upon a
piece of glass, covered them with var
nfgh, applied his corroding fluid, and cut
away the glass round his drawing. When
he removed the Varnish, the figures ap-
peared raised upon a dark ground: and
etching upon glass was added to the or

One day, nearly three hundred years
ago, poor optician was working in his
shop in the town of Middelburg, i'll the
Netherlands, his children helping him or
amusing themselves with the tools and
objects lying about, when suddenly his
little girl exclaimed "Oh, papa, see how

anxious to learn the cause of the child's
amazement. he turned toward her, and
saw that she was looking through two
lenses, one held close to her eye, the
other at arms length and calling her to
his side, ffe noticed that the eye lens was
plano-concave, while the other was plano
convex. Taking the two glasses, he re-
peated his, daughters experiment, and
soon discovered that she had chanced to

producing the wonderful effect that she
observed. His quick wit saw in this
wonderful discovery, and he at once set
about making use of his new knowledge

tube of pasteboard. in which he set the
glasses at their proper focus, and so the
telescope was invented.

COUNT ESTERHAZY Hides
Another Amazing Feature in
the Case of Dreyfus.
ALL PARIS IN CONFUSION
The French Foreign Minister In
formed That if Attempts Are Made
to Introduce Emperor William
Into the Revision the German
Ambassador Will Depart.

New York, Sept, S.-A Paris dispatch to
the Journal says:
Excitement over the Dreyfus case has
famed out afresh, and all the city to-
night is burning with excitement.
Count Esterhazy is a suicide!" He
has hanged himself!'' His body was
found by Nine. Du Pays!" He has fol-
lowed Col Henry." He wrote the bor-
dereaur These are a few of the start
ling declarations that have been on every
lip. All Paris has believed the count d
suicide.
Even now. when it is definitely known
that the man is alive, the furOre has not
abated.
Count EsterhaZy is in hiding, and ac-
cusations are more freely heard than
ever that it was he who was the author
of the famous berdereau.
The most inhammable fuel was added to
the general discomfort today when Count
Munster. the German ambassador. inform
ed NJ Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs,
that if the French government presumed
TO show. in the Dreyfus revision, letters
alleged to haYe been written by Emperor
William, he has instructions to demand
his passports and leave Paris, as the let
ters are fQGgerieS.r
An insistent crowd has poured around
the obscure hotel in which Esterhazy was
said TO have ended his life, eager for con-
firmation and for details. Nine. Du Pays.
one of the most intimate personal friends
of the count, was reported to have found
the body hanging.
Nine. Du Pays met all inQuirers and
steadfastIy declared that Esterhazy was
not dead.
He has not hanged himself" she re-
peated, over and over again; ''he thought
of anything but that
The city was first thrown into uproar

previous statement and denying Ii.
But the mischief was done. The po-
lice were too late Paris buzZed with the
discussion OF the case, the prospect of re-
vision and the suicide of Col. Henry
On top of all this came the report that
EsterhaZy was not a fugitive, but, in
turn, a suicide. 1t was not long Il er
the Temps article was n the street
that the evening papers sent broadcast
the story of EsterhaZys death. Not only
was it published that he had taken his
own life, but the details were given as to
his having hanged himself in "a room at
an obscure hotel
There was no foundation for the re-

more deeply agitated had the body acru-
