MAKING SHOT.
The Tower Process Used Only For the
Smaller Sizes.

The Tower Process Used Only For the
Smaller Sizes.
The tower process of making shot
was invented by William Watts, n
plumber Of Bristol England, In 1863.
His tower was built" by saving n
square hole In the center of the various
floors of his house and locating IL well
in the cellar, into which the globules
of molten lead dropped and were in
stantly cooled and hardened Watts
secured patent in 1882 and sold his
London rights in 1900 for $4S665.
His tower Is stlll in use, although 1t
has been heightened by the addition of
several stories. The lead when molten
Is poured into sieve-like receptacle
at the top Of the tower, and these
molten drops, falling into the well,
100 feet below, form the shot, which
are then passed through n polishing
grader. They are then spilled from n
hopper on to an inclined plane, the per
feet shot running on second plane
while the imperfect drop through an
opening between. The shot pass over
four series of planes. and only the per-
feet reach tho last plane.
A larger size than BIB cannot be
made by this process. The larger
sizes. including shrapnel, are made by
two different processes. In the me-
dunn size wire of the proper ma
terial is fed into machine which
mashcs 1t into ribbon shape and
punches irregular formed shot. The
largest are made by pouring the metal
into long bullet molds, which, in cool
ing, form irregular shot, The various
sizes are then placed. each by itself,
In gins, which are revolved for six
hours, when the shot come out perfect

BRAINY PAUPERS.
Brilliant Inventors Who Reaped
PitifuI Rewards.
DIED IN POVERTY AND WANT.

Some Men of Genius Who We're Doom
cd to End Their Days In Obseurity,
While Their Fruitful Ideas Made
Millions and Fame For Others.
Now and again a man is born whose
brain fairly bubbles with inventive
genius. New ideas stream from him,
and all branches of science are mas
tered with hardly an effort.
Such was Frederic William MARITIME,
one Of those many brilliant Italians
who left their native l8nd to seek
fortune in foreign country.
MARITIME came to England, and his
name Is most familiar from the Mar
tint Henry rife, the breechblock Of
which was one of his numerous In
ventions.
1t is an irony of fate that Martino's
name should go down to posterity
solely through a warlike invention
which he himself thought little of
when his greatest work was done In
the cause of peace, for MARITIME was
the discoverer OF the process for con-
verting basic Stag into manure, dis
covery which has put millions into
the pockets Of German manufacturers,
but from which he himself, 1t Is
stated. never reaped penny.
The Huted rib for umbrellas, a new
process for the extraction Of nickel
from its ore. n new development OF
platinoid - immensely important In
electric work--and brilliant inven-
ton for the reduction of gold ore,
these are only few of Martino's dis
coveries. And yet he was so lacking
In business capacity that in spite of
his extraordinary output of valuable
ideas he died at Glasgow in 1908 O
comparatively poor and obscure man,
while dozens Of others have been made
richer by his genius.
In 1850 the chemist Lenoir patented
motor driven by an explosive mix
ignition obtained from battery and
a Ruhmkorff coil, actuating a sparkling
plug very similar to that in use in the
modern motor. The system of valves
by means of which the suction of the
piston drew in the charge of gas for
the next explosion was also designed
by Lenoir.
In 1862 he actually produced cur
which, II crude. was similar in all re-
spects to that In use today, save that
he employed coal gas instead of petrol,
and this he actually drove himself

Yet for reasons similar to those
which caused the failure of MARITIME he

known.
Three years later, in 1908, the life Of
George Shergold came to an end In
Gloucester workhouse. Shergold, orig
inally shoemaker, was the inventor
OF the safety bicycle. He built ma
chine of this order In the year 1876
the front wheel of which was twenty
seven inches and the rear wheel some
thirty one inches In diameter.
In 1900, when 1t first became gener-
ally known that the man whose inven-
ton had made millions for others was
as poor as when he had cobbled shoes,
a public subscription was raised, and
for some time an allowance of shil-
lings a week was made to Shergold
But the funds became exhausted, and
poor Shergold ended his life In the
workhouse.

SAYINGS OF MARK TWAIN.

Bright Things That Are Rarely Cred
tied to the Humorist.
There has been complaint that every
good story gets accredited to Mark
Twain without his having really de-
served it, but Professor Archibald
Henderson in his book Mark Twain"
points out that actually many of the
best known common sayings first Gre
ated by Mark Twain are very rarely
"Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar" such
as "the cauliflower is nothing but cab
bage with a college education" are
generally known as written by Mark
Twain, but there are others of which
this Is not true
Some of his best sayings are apropos
of the cheerful custom of lying-for
instance: "Truth is our most valuable
possession. Let us economic II"
"Never tell a lie-except for practice
is not so well known as the more popu'
lar when in doubt tell the truth
Professor Henderson comments that
of the latter maxim Mark Twain de-
Nlhlth iiIlL lltNti tAptNith ~ "
be applied to himself. 1t was for
other people. When he was In doubt
himself he used sagaclty. Perhaps his
best summary is: Never waste lie
You can't tell when you may need It,"
A catchword emanating from Mark
Twain is, "Be virtuous and you will
be eccentric" Another Is that "thert
isn't a parallel OF latitude but thinks
1t would have been the equator II II
had had Its rights" There Is some
thing peculiarly American In his warn
Ing to girls not to marry-that is, moi
to excess. To Professor Henderson
Mark Twain made remark likely tC
rank with the best of his sayings now
that It has been published. Professor
Henderson was advised before under
going n surgical operation, Console
yourself with the reflection that you
are giving the doctor pleasure and
that he is getting paid for It."
OF the hundreds OF Twain sayings
none is better known than one often
attributed to Andrew Carnegie, "Pui
all your eggs in one basket-and Their
watch that basket"

THEIR LAST HANDCLASP.
The Final Meeting of Charles A. Dana
and Jacob Rjis,

nc FHldl mdtttHS OF SHdTtob ~ Ihnh
and Jacob Riis.
like to think of my last meeting
with Charles A. Dana, tho 'old chief"
as he was always called In the Office.
In all the years l was on the Sun i
do not think ! had spoken with him
u half dozen times. When he wanted
anything Of me personally his orders
were very brief and to the point. It
was generally something-a report to
be dlgested or the story of some social
experlment-which showed me that in
his heart he was faithful to his early
love. He had been In his youth, as
everybody knows. an enthusiastic re-
former, member of the Brook Farm
community. But IL he thought i saw
he let no sign escape him. He hated
shams. Perhaps / was on trial all the
time. IL so l believe that he meant
to tell me in that last handshake that
he had not found me wanting. 1t was
ON tho stairs In the Sun office that
we met. was going up; he was COM
ing down going home to die. He
knew II. In me there was no suspicion
of the truth when l came upon him
at the turn of the stairs, stumbling
along In a way very unlike the usual
springy step of the old chief. i hardly
knew him when he passed, but as he
turned and held out his hand ] saw
that 1t was Mr.. Dana, looking some
how older than l had ever seen him
and changed. l took off my hat, and
we shook hands.
Well" he said. "have you reformed
everything to suit you. Strengthened
out every kink in town."
pretty nearly" l said. falling into
his tone Of banter, "all except-the Sun
office. That is left yet and as bad as
ever"
"Ha| he laughed. "You come on.
We are ready for you. Come right
alongw And with another hearty
handshake he was gone. He never
saw the Sun office again.
1t was the only time no had ever
held out his hand to me after that
first meeting OF ours when l was
lonely lad. nearly thirty years before
That time there was q dollar init, and
l spurned 1t. This time like TO be-
lieye his heart was in 1t. And i took
1t gladly and gratefully. - Jacob A.
