INVENTOR OF LEAD PIPE.
First Suggested by Robert SeydeIl of
Pennsylvania In 1880.

Pennsylvania In 1880.
There was born in Milton, Pa, in
1900 man Of wonderful genius, it is
said. His name was Robert Seydell. and
he died in 1847. Four children survive,
two of whom reside here-a son, Jacob
Seydell, and daughter, Mrs. Gray.
Mr.. Seydell was a cOppersmith and
was almost continuously working out
some device connected with the ma
chinery in his factory To him, 1t is re-
lated by some of the oldest citizens of
this place, belongs the discovery of the
process of making lead pipe, and, like
many other inventors, the idea of max
ing the same was stolen from him and
further developed to its present form of
manufacture.
1t was IN the latter part of the thir-
ties that the idea suggested itself TO
him, and the following is the way he
wrought it out: he first took a slug, or
casting of lead, placing it on a mandrel,
or rod of steel, about l6 feet long and
an inch in diameter. The mandrel was
highly polished, and upon this he drew
or rolled out the lead to the full length
Of the rod, thus giving him an inch
bore, and the material was rolled, it is
said, TO onefOurth inch, making a to-
tai diameter IL inches for the pipe
After completing several sections of the
length of the mandrel he soldered them
together, making the pipe of whatever
length he desired.
He put it TO practical use by fasten-
ing 1T TO pump heads, and also running
it from springs to connect watering
trOughs and springhOuses in the cOun-
try round about here. Being greatly
pleased with his discovery and Teceiv
ing the most fiattering of comments
from his friends and neighbors in this
section, he concluded to make his in
vention more widely known, and hence
made visit to Philadelphia, taking
his device with him.
At the Franklin institute IN that city
he gave his first exhibition to quite {.
number of inventors, artisans and me
chanics. AS it is now related, every orc
who witnessed it was more than de
lighted, and so expressed him self IN
his immedite presence. 1t was not long
that he was allowed to remain III con
dition of supreme happiness over his III
ventiOn, for a short time after he made
a disclosure Of his discovery, and while
yet in Philadelphia, be found ont that
by the persons to whom he had given
an exhibition of the process of making
lead pipe his idea had been used and
improved upon.-Philadelphia Press.

Very Tall Kneeling.

One of the officers Of the rebellion
had private in his company whom the
boys jestingly named Little Mack, ="
because of his bigness. He was the tall
est man IN the company-about feet 3
inches-and one of the bravest in the
regiment.
On one occasion when the men were
ordered to kneel down behind a stone
fence IN preparation for an expected as
sault the officer, who was preparing a
surprise for the enemy, on inspecting
the line was astonished to see one large,
serene face above the top of the fence.
He shouted out angrily, "There, you
you man with the head up, kneel down,
sirH The man did not move, and again
the officer thundered, why don't you
kneel down, sir?''
ObliyiOus TO ally danger and blind to
the significance Of his head being ex-
posed, Little Mack" answered, Il am
kneeling down"
Then" shouted the officer, put
your head down, or you will have it
shot off, confound you'll
Thereupon Little Mack" curled
down behind the fence, grieving because
ne captain had howled at him.

was drunk on Silas ThompSon's rum

know where he was at or where he
wanted TO so, and while he floundered
round on the ice Thompson made Cir

back with his gun and shot him. 1t
