OVER HAswnLLs BOOK aToRa
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-08-27
By Albert Payson Terhune


A young inventor-Henry Bessemer
BY name-awoke one 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 and retold amid the derision of a
nation. He was pointed out as 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 oldfashioned way.
Bessemer, though little more than
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 it. In payment Bessemer
was to receive life position as super
intendent of stamps at a salary of
$4,000 year. 1t was unheard-of good
luck for so young man. Bessemer
in his delight became overZealous and
forthwith spoiled his prospects by in
venting still another system whereby
the old-time arrangements for stamp
ing could be continued profitably at no
In other words, he improved" away
the necessity of his own promised po-
sition. There was no longer any need
of his services. The government
adopted his second system, thereby
saving much money. Bessemer re-
ceived not one 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 fool, and "fool' was the mildest
of the many terms applied to the
youngster
He stood ridicule bravely, and by
means of several lesser inventions
(gold paint, velvet making, and i'm
provements in type-casting) he man

was proven that such cast-iron can
non as were then in use were not
strong enough to fire the new oblong
shot. 1t was declared useless; and
once more people laughed at Besse-
mer.
But, inadvertently, these two fail
ures formed the foundation of his flu
ture fame and fortune. Had he re-
ceived the easy government job prom
fsed him years before he would prob
ably have rested content and done lit

been adopted, he might have remained

SPIT BALL DIFFERS FROM
ALL THE OTHER CURVES
Elusive Saliva TwrI Regarded as Diff
ficuIe to Control, as 1t Makes
Sudden Break.

The spit ball is absolutely different
from any other form of curve ball
ever thrown. 1t is the result of an en-
tirely different principle.
All boys who have played ball know
that tho ordinary curve is thrown by
grasping the ball tightly, and then
spinning it off the end of the fingers
the same principle as putting Eng
lish" On a billiard ball. The ordinary
curve ball, therefore, always gets the
twist as it leaves the tips of the fin
gers, after having been released by the
thumb.
The spit ball is just the reverse of
this. A spot on the ball about the size
of silver dollar is moistened with
saliva. This spot is made so lubricant
that the fingers, when placed upon it,
slip off without the least friction The
tips of the first two fingers are placed
upon the moist spot, and the thumb on
the opposite side of the ball, and be-
meath. The ball is thrown with all the
strength the arm can give it. The
fingers, instead of gripping, slip off,
and the ball takes peculiar wabbling
movement from the thumb, which it
leaves last.
The spit ball is naturally very hard
to control, as it is difficult to regulate
it's direction with the point of the
thumb. When the ball comes up to
the plate it makes sudden break"
and will drop either to one side or the
other. The pitcher himself can not al
ways tell which way it is going to
break"
For a while the pitchers had great
difficulty in getting up speed on the
spit ball, but now they can throw it
almost as swiftly as the ordinary
curve.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-08-27

to FIRE it, Bessemer simply set to work
to find some stronger material for
cannon. He knew little of metals, but
began a careful study of them. At
that time, iron, not steel, was used for
railways, big guns and nearly every
structure requiring metal. Steel was
hard to make and was far too expen-
sive for common use. Few men were
employed in working on it, and these
used a tedious, laborious process in
its 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 blast of air through
masses of pig iron that was in process
of fusing until it was cleared of car
bon. Then, by introducing the proper
proportion of carbon, he found he had
an excellent quality of steel. He could
thus make 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 it's carbon was oxidized he could
produce a fine grade of malleable iyon.
In 1850 Bessemer patented his steel.

tionized industry. Sheffield was Eng-
lands chief steel center. The manu-
facturers there refused to take up

So he opened
steel works in the same city and under.
sold his rivals until it brought them
to terms.
Steel became at bound one of the
worlds foremost industries. The
United States at once took the lead in
it's production. Before Bessemer's in.
vention our annual production of steel
was about 1885 tons. A few years
later it had risen to 3,019,9O6 tons a
year. Bessemer was the father of
steel rails, steel frames for sky.
modern armor-plate. His invention
gave work to millions of men.
But he had not forgotten that early
occasion when England had regarded
him as a fool. When he was too rich
and famous to be neglected he de-
manded that the British government

ideas were, practically, all Niepce's.
But it was Daguerre who got the cred

making the first successful photo
graph. He, too, it was after whom
such early photographs were named.
for the term photographic picture"
was shortened to "Daguerreo-type."
The process whereby Daguerre made
these first pictures was absolutely
crude. A sheet of silver-plated copper
was highly polished and freed from
every particle of dust. Then it was
hung, face downward, over a saucer
containing iodine. The fumes of the
iodine formed, on the surface of the
plate, substance known as silver
iodide, which is sensitive to light
When enough of this had collected to
turn the surface of an orange color
the plate was ready for exposure and
was put into the dark side of a GEM
era. The exposure itself, which had
formerly taken several hours, was now
cut down to between three minutes and
half an hour, according to the light
But another difficulty confronted
Daguerre. He could not hit upon the
right chemical for developing his pic
lures. One day after taking a photo
graph he was called away. Before 60

ton of hyposulphite of soda. In 1899
the first Daguerrotype was exhibited.
Other men took up the idea and
improved it. In 1910 Prof. John w.
Draper of the University of New
York invented an improved lens, and
by it made the first sunlight picture"
of human face. This revolutionized
photography. From that time further
improvement was a comparatively
easy matter.
Though an American did so much
for photography, yet France rightly
claims the credit of originating the art.

FEW BASEBALL PLAYERS
QUIT GAME VOLUNTARILY
When They Do Sever Connection with
Popular Sport in Their Prime
There is Always a Reason,

The lure of the diamond is so strong
that lew, very few, professional base
ball players have retired from the
game as Fielder Jones did, in the hey
dey OF his career. Jones, who was
the captain and manager of the Chi
cago Americans and onece led them to
victory in a worlds series after win
ming the pennant in his own league,
made complete remuneration of the
game.
with Jones 1t was purely a matter
OF business. He had interests in Ore
gcn which demanded his personal at,
tentlon. Much as he loved the ma
tlonal game and strong as was the
hold on him. he was firm in his inten-
ton to say good-by to the diamond.
John Ward was another of the few
VINO gave up baseball when he was
on the top wave. He was manager
and captain Of the New Yorks when
they won the Temple cup in 1895 and
could have served several years more
OF usefulness both as manager and
player. He was playing well at
second base when he retired and was
as skillful as ever with the bat, but
he had made up his mind that it was
time to get to his law practice. and
nothing could induce him to stay in
the game.
Big Bill LANCE, who, when he was
with the Chicago Nationals a few sea.
sons ago, was fine batter, fine field
er and fine base runner. LANCE was
head and shoulders above the general
run of ball players. He was SO good
player that it was a pity that pro-
fessional baseball had to lose him.
He married California girl, went
into business, and has not played ball
since. He, too, was in his prime as
player when he stepped down and
out.
Danny Richardson, the former
Giant; Dave Fultz of the New York
Americans; Billy Lauder, last with
the New York Nationals, and Jimmy
Callahan of the Chicago White Sox
are four more players who gave up
the game when they were at the top
of their ability.
Mike Griffin was as good as ever
when he terminated his connection
with professional baseball. The
Brooklyn sold him to the St. Louis
club without his consent. He said
he'd quit rather than go to St. Louis
under the conditions, and he kept his
word.
