a mere cannon-ball inventor.
When, however, the French emperor
rejected his new shot, on the ground
that no cannon was sufficiently strong
to fire it, Bessemer simply set to work

employed in working on it, and these
used a tedious, laborious process in
it's production.
But BesSemer was not content with
the modes then in use. He knew that
steel was an alloy of iron and carbon
in certain proportions, and he invented
the following process for making it:
He drove a blast of air through

proportion of carbon, he found he had
an excellent quality Of steel. He could
thus max steel far more rapidly than
it had ever before been manufactured,
and at a mere fraction of it's former
high price. He also found that by
blowing through molten pig iron until
all its carbon was oXidized he could
produce a fine grade Of malleable iron.
Steel became at a bound one Of the
worlds foremost industries. The
United States at once took the lead in
its production. Before Bessemer's in.

was about 1885 tons. A few years
later it had risen to 3,019, 9O6 tons a

LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Expensive
as Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Throuoh.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
teenth street went to the country with
a party Of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at a few blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front of the porch she
lad put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to-
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. The
old thing thinks they're real roses"
she laughed. Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

DAGUERRE--- The Man Who Made
Sunlight Work for Him.

A little French boy lay sick in his
darkened bedroom one summer day in
l775. Outside was a glare of sun
light, but heavy shutters rendered the
sick-room gloomy and dark. The white
washed ceiling alone reflected patches
of light from holes and cracks in the
wooden blinds.
The little invalid vas Joseph Nice
phore Niepce. AS he lay staring up-
ward. very lonely and very sick, he
saw a cart and horses drive slowly
across the ceiling. Then a drove of
cattle. and after a while his fathers
figure and that of his pet dog.
AS the sun went under a cloud these
wonderful images faded. The child's
mother came in and he told her of the
procession that had crossed his cell
ing.
He had merely been side the first
camera in existence. A chink in the
blinds had served as lens and the cell
ing had been the plate or finder"
rejecting objects passing in the road
outside. The boy did not forget. AS
he grew up his memory often returned
to the strange phenomenon, and he be-
gan to figure out in his own mind the
of it. At last, in the course of
time, he hit upon a very fair solution
Of the mystery.
This decided, he set to work trying
to reproduce the process in real life
and to obtain some permanent image
of objects thus photographed. After
u... a.. e;... many failures
oh.+...,,h W.. N1epce found, in
MI. 1927, that by coat
ing the surface of
a metal plate with a mixture of law
ender oil and asphalt, putting the
plate in a primitive camera and ex-
posing it a long time, a very faint
image of the object or landscape in
o of it would be cast upon the
metal. He developed such plates by
washing them with a combination
OF petroleum and lavender oil.
Great as was Niepce's discovery it
remained for another man to put it to
practical use. This collaboration was

life as a soldier and had later won
fame in Paris as a scene painter and
maker of the first Diorama. A theater

employment. He me Niepce and went
into partnership with him. Soon aft
erward Niepce died, and Daguerre car
ried on the work to completion. The
IDEAS were, practically, all Niepce's.

HENRY BESSEMER-The Man Whose Failure Won Success.

A young inventor-Henry Bessemer
Dy name-awoke n morning in the
first half Of the nineteenth century
to find himself the laughing-stock of
England. His name was on all lips,
and the. story of his latest folly was
told n retold amid the derision of a
nation. He was pointed out as a fore
ordained failure in life. Here in brief
Is the tale of his odd ill-luck:
The stamping system in the British
government offices was carried on in
an expensive and old-fashioned way.
Bessemer, though little more than a
BOY, invented an improved stamping
device, which was SO excellent that,
IN spite of the increased money out
lay involved, the government decided
TO adopt 1T. In payment Bessemer
was to receive a life position as super
Of stamps at a salary of
$4,000 a year. 1t was %unheard-of good
luck for so young a man. Bessemer
IN his delight became overzealOus and
forthwith spoiled his prospects by in
venting still another system whereby
the old-tlme arrangements for stamp
ing could be continued %profitably at no
extra expense or special alteration.
In other words, he improved" away
the necessity of his own promised DO
sltlon. There was no longer any need
OF his services. The government
adopted his second system, thereby
saving much money. Bessemer re-
ceived not n penny for the inven-
ton, and was, moreover, out of a
$4,000 a year job. All England
laughed; for there is scant sympathy
for a fool, and 'fool' was the mildest
of the many terms applied to the
%youngster.
He stood ridicule bravely, and by
mean of several lesser inventions
