How THE FIRST SILK HAT
STARTLED LONDoN.-January Is,
1877, was the date fixed by Mr..
Hetherington for his first appear.
ance in public with the new hat,
He believed that in the natural
course of events he would create a
sensation, but he was not prepared
tor the commotion which followed.
1t was with no little trepidation
that about eleven o'clock in the
forenoon Mr.. Hethering emerged
from his shop in the Strand. His
family advised against it, but he
was determined, and forth he sal
lied. The Strand, as now, was one
OF the busy streets Of London, and
Mr.. Hetherington had not walked
ten feet before merchants and
others, attracted by the unusual
sight, stopped and gazed in won
der. Mr.. Hetherington, however,
moved on, but men who had only
stopped to look now followed after
him, and in less time than it takes
to tell it the street was crowded
with a bowling mob. Those on
the outskirts Of the crowd did not
know the nature OF the trouble, If
there was any, but they helped to
swell the din. How Mr.. Hether
ington farid, however, is best told
by the journals Of that date, whose
pages have been searched bV the
TAILOR amt CuttSr'S special COM
missioner. One gazette gave this
account Of the remarkable event:
John Hetherington, haberdasher,
OF the Strand, was arraigned before
the Lord Mayor Yesterday on a
charge OF breach Of the peace and
melting to riot, and was required
to give bond in the sum Of bsoo.
It vas in evidence that Mr.. Heth-
erington, who is well connected,
appeared upon the public highway
wearing upon his head what he
called a silk hat (Which was Of
fered in evidence), a tall structure
having a shiny lustre, and calcu-
lated to irighten timid people. AS
a matter OF fact, the officers OF the
Crown stated that several women
tainted at the unusual sight, while
children screamed, dogs yelped,
and s young son Of CordwaineT
Thomas, who was returning from
a chandler's shop, was thrown
down by the crowd which had col
lected, and had his right arm
broken. For these reasons the
defendant was seized by the guards
and taken before the Lord Mayor.
In extenuation Of his crime defend
ant claimed that he had not Vio-
lated any llU of the kingdom, but
was merely exercising a right TO
appear in a headdress Of his own
design-a right not denied to any
Euglishman." Another paper, Of
the same date January 70, I797),
in commenting on Mr.. Hethering-
tons appearance, said: "In these
days OF enlightenment it must be
considered an advance in dress re-
form, and one which is bound,
sooner or later, to stamp its char
acter upon the entire community.
The new hat is destined to work a
revolution in headgear, and we
think the officers OF the Crown
erred in placing the defendant
under arrest -Hatter'S Gazette

AS mechanician, Archimedes

forty interesting devices, includ-

with which latter novel weapon he
is said to have set FIRE to the ships

probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the
faith Of the people in the man, as
indicating the character OF his pur-

was looked upon as hardly less
than a magician. He produced
catapults which threw enormous
stones and heavy pixies, at long
