DISCOVERY OF DRESDEN CHINA
Valuable Secret Entirely the Result
Of an Accident.

Dresden china was discovered
through accident. John Frederick
Bottcher was chemists assistant in
Berlin about 1900. At that time all
potterss were endeavoring to discover
a means of making translucent china,
but in vain.
Bottcher, having fallen under sus-
picion OF being an alchemist, was
obliged to leave Berlin and take refuge
in Saxony. Augustus II. was elector
of Saxony, and in hope or finding the
secret Of the philosophers stone he
placed young Bottcher in laboratory
with orders to carry on his expert
ments. While working along the lines
designated by the elector, Bottcher
surprised himself by discovering some
thing akin to Chinese porcelain. He
was at once hidden by the king to
pursue the quest of making china He
might have continued his endeavors
for many years, had not an accident
given him the key to the translucent
china.
A wealthy iron founder was riding
on horseback near Aue, in Saxony,
when he noticed that his horse lifted
its feet with difficulty. On examina-
ton he found that the animals hoofs
were filled with peculiar white adj
hesiye clay, More out Of curiosity
than anything else, he took some Of
this clay home with him. and succeed
ed in making it into a fine white pow
der. Through chance 'Bottcher OBJ
tanned some of this powder and found
that it was the long-sought kaolin.
The secret of the translucent china
was solved, and the king ordered a
china factory to be built Of which
Bottcher was the head, Sunday Mag
azine.

 PI.!NED IN JAIL
Southern Railway Representa-

VIOLATION OF RATE LAW
Lively Fight Is On Between Federal and State Court Over the Prose- cution of Railroads Under
 the Rate Law.

Raleigh. N. C., July 16.-Indicted by the grand jury and brought into court by a capias nstanter, Thomas 10. Green, city ticket agent of the Southern railway charged with selling railway tickets at a greater rate than prescribed by law, was today in Wake county supreme court al lowed bail in the sum of $l00 for his ap- pearance tomorrow.

He was not taken to Jail and in the afternoon his attorneys ap- peared and urged that as 1t was higher officials who were responsible for the rates that Green be not imprisoned.
 The states attorney said 1t was easy for him to give bail This was not given, however, and tonight Green is in jail.
 Though not stated In court it Is known that Greens attorneys arranged this aft ernoon to ask for a writ of habeas corpus from q federal court, presumably before Judge Pritchard in Asheville, and 1t is expected that the writ will be served to- morrow It is understood that the court will resist this step on the ground that there is no jurisdiction in the federal court. The grand Jury today brought in another indictment against Green which includes the Southern railway. Indct- ments for selling at unlawful rates were also brought In against Southern railway agents M. E. Powell, at Auburn, and r. A Creech at Cary.

Chicago July 16.-Secretary Russell of the Commercial Photographers union to- night issued the following reply to the statement issued by the Postal Telegraph Cable company:
 The statement of the Postal Telegraph Cable company Is unloading, as 1t Is not stated the number of hours work re- quired of the men that they might earn the amount mentioned. The company has merely struck an average from the en- tire pay roll.
 Taking actual figures. we find that the telegraph operator who received d salary of $99 for the month of May which contained twenty working days, received exactly $3.66 2-3 per day, 52 3-7 cents for each hour overtime he worked.
 The telegraph operators had to work over nine day extra. The same condi- tions apply to the employees who received the second grade salary. They were com peled to work from nine to ten days extra to make the money the company endeavors to show that they were paid as a regular recompense. In addition to this, the greater majority of the opera tors concerned in the present controversy did not receive the top salary, nor even the second class salary
