A CLERKS BLUNDER.
It's Effect Upon the Fortunes Of Our
Revolutionary War

It's Erect upon the Fortunes OF Our
Revolutionary War.
The element Of chance as exempt
fed in the blunder Of q copyist had an
important bearing on the result of our
war for independence. As is well
known, the crisis Of the military be-
tween Great Britain and The revolving
colonies was reached when General
Burgoyne's campaign was planned in
London The object was to strike
tremendous blow at the center Of The
Revolution The British forces were
to take possession Of the Mohawk and
Hudson valleys by a concentric march
from Lake Champlain, Oswcgo ana
New York on converglng lines toward
Albany. The ascent of the Hudson by
Sir william IIowes army was essen
tia 20 the success of Il scheme by
which New England was to be cut off
as by wedge from the southern colo
MES.
orders were sent out from London
for the advance of Burgoyne's and st.
Leger's forces from Canada. At first
Sir William Howe was merely inform
ed of the plan and was armed with
discretionary powers, but finally dis
patch was drafted positively ordering
him to cooperate in the movement
from New York.
A British clerk made a hasty and
very careless copy of the dispatch,
which the minister. Lord George Ger
maine. found great difficulty in read
ing. He angrily reprimanded tho cul-
prlt and ordered a fresh copy to be
made without flaw or erasure Being
pressed for time and anxious for a
holiday, Lord George posted off to the
country without waiting for the fresh
copy.
The military order was laboriously
copied in the clerks best hand. but
when it was finished the minister was
not there to sign It, 1t was pigeon
holed and overlooked when he returned
and was not sent to America until long
afterward. Howe, being left with full
discretion, allowed himself to be drawn
into military operations against Wash
ington's army near Philadelphia. Bur
goyne's army was entrapped, cut off
from retreat and forced to surrender
at Saratoga.
Thus the fortunes of the Revolution

SOAP. BUBBLES.
How Some Pretty and Marvellous Eff
fect3 May Be Produced.

fect5 May Be Produced.
There are degrees Of skill in al pas
times, but one would hardly think that
there were specialists in the art Of
blowing soap bubbles An article in
the Windsor Magazine by Meredith Nj
gent, however, shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained by the exercise Of care and
patience with soap and water
The first step is to make a solution
by rubbing pure white CASTLE soap into
a bowl partly filed with water until Il
lather has been formed. Then remove
every particle Of lather dip a clay pipe
into the cleared solution and start to
blow bubble.
If you can blow one six inches in di-
ameter so that it will hang suspended
from the pipe and will allow your fore
finger covered with the solution to be
pushed through into the bubble with
out breaking, then the mixture is ready
for use.
Six bubbles may be blown, one inside
the other. This is performed by dip
ping the end Of a straw in the soapy
water and after resting the wet end
upon an inverted plate or sheet OF
glass, which should have been previ-
ously wet with the solution, blow a
bubble six inches in diameter
Then dip the straw into the solution
again, carefully thrust it through into
the center of this first bubble and blow
another. Continue in this manner until
all the bubbles are in position. Great
care must be taken that the straw is
thoroughly wet with solution for fully
half its length before each bubble is
blown. With practice ten or twelve
bubbles may be placed inside of one
another

A SINGULAR DAMAGE SUIT.

Mr. W. d. Buckminster.


Mr. w. d. Buckminster,
President of Harvard Mine
Jam estown, Cal.
Sir Il am informed that it is the
policy of your foreman at the mine
here to turn away and refuse employ
ment to good white miners, residents
of this town, who apply to him for
employment on the ground that the
mine is full handed, and at the same
time telephone or otherwise send out
to other towns and other counties
for Salvonlan and Montenegran work
men, because they are cheaper, and,
as l am informed, because they are
willing to and do contribute por-
ton of their monthly wages. first to
l do not think is right or fair, and
there are good many good miners
in this town and vicinity who want
work and are complaining about the
system at your mine, and l think it
would be to your interest to investi-
gate this matter and have this practice
stopped. Yours respectfully,
A. CAMPORA

The above letter is the basis on
which James L. Simmons, foreman
at the Harvard mine, below James
town, brought suit Wednesday against
A. CampoIa and A. MaTengo for $780,
900 damages. In the complaint filed
plaintiff alleges that the letter was
mailed on May 4th aud delivered to
Mr. Buckminster on the Same day.
He further states that the idea Of the
missive was to impress upon Manager
Buckminster that he, Simmons
would only employ such miners as
we're willing 20 pay something to get
a job at the Harvard and a percentage
of their monthly wages to retain it,
All of which is branded as untrue
and defamatOry and calculated to
lessen the esteem in which Simmons
has been held by his employers and
the people at large. F.. p. Otis is

indiscreet enough TO violate law. and

FOR BUILDING CEMENT

One. Of the latest laborsaving
devices is machine that lays and
finishes cement sidewalks with re-
markable rapidly Il consists Of a
travelling mold and-a winch for pull
ing the mold ahead The concrete
for the base OF the sidewalk Is shovel
ed or dumped into the front part OF
the mold and the finishing mortar
Is shoveled or dumped into the hopper
at the middle Of the mold, This hop
per Is SO designed that il feeds a
thin layer OF mortar on to the con
crete base as the mold travels for.
ward Thus complete and perfect
sidewalk is delivered at the rear end
Of the machine. No skilled fnishers
are required. No labor Is needed 10
build forms. No men are needed to
lamp the concrete. In brief says
Cement Age. New York, the process
Is simply one Of mixing the ingred-
tents and depositing them into the
proper part OF the travelling mold.
The mold does the rest. With prop
erIy organized gang, the mold is kept
travelling continuously az the rate Of
two feet per minute. The shape OF
the mold is such that the concrete is
squeezed both lateralIy and vertically
into q dense block, which. as above
stated requires no ramming. Per.
haps the most remarkable feature OF
the mold is the perfect finish that
II gives to the sidewalk. The walk
looks as II It had been hand finished
