HARRISON Gray OTIS, owner Of the Los An
geles Tines, which was destroyed by
dynamite on October 1, 1910. That he es-

.watchful eye OF his Japanese servant.

nal machine mailed in this city and
called his employers attention to It.
The first Internal machine directed at
the life of General Otis was found at his
residence a few hours after his news

might be developed from the theory that
the Mexican question had part in it.

A few weeks ago there was another out

the time that none were employed by him.
The bomb reached "The Bivouac," Cen

postman to the Japanese servant, who
removed the wrapping paper before TAX

in the upper room OF his residence. He
told the general that he thought there
was something suspicious about the pack

Every time you buy some

tho chances are that at least
part of your expenditure is
thrown away.

thrown away.
In all the varied expendi-

coPPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
the Ar. Was Discovered Through the
Morest Accident.

Every one has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines CT his
name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things Of use and beauty,
this art Of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest acct
dent by the goldsmiths Of Florence in
the fifteenth century.
1t is historical fact, however, that
one day an engraver on gold, wishing
to take Q proof Of his work, made the
usual sulphur cast and then filed up
the lines with lampblack, thus ena-
bling him to see exactly how his work
looked. While occupied in doing this
it occurred to him that possibly the
same results could be obtained by fill
ing up the original engraving with
lampblack instead Of making an Inn
preston Of 1t and filing up that.
Struck with the idea. he put 1t into
practical use and, with a little damp
paper, succeeded in getting fair i'm
preston from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art and they
hailed 1t with Joy, as 1t saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full
value OF the discovery, and consequent
" the art OF plate engraving lay for
almost century before lis true Inn
port was discovered and brought out
In all Its great and beautiful results.
Today collectors Of plate engravings
rave over the crude results OF earlier
times and search the world for exam
pies of these early masters to add to
their collections. Many OF these col
lections have been presented to mu-
seums, where they may be seen and
appreciated by the people.
