ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES.
Origin of Starch From Corn and Of
Silver Plating.

Origin of Starch From Corn and Of
Silver Plating.
How to make starch from corn
(maize) was discovered accidentally by
Thomas Kingsford. a mechanic. One
day he threw mess Of cornmeal mush
into garbage pail. His wife emptied
some lye into the same pail, and in the
morning when he emptied the pail he
was astonished to find small guam
tity Of starch at the bottom.
Thomas BolsOver, a Sheffield me-
chanic, was mending the handle of a
knife made of copper and silver. He
saw these metals fuse together and the
idea of silver plating was born in his
mind. He laid thin plate Of silver
on heavier one of copper and heated
them till the edge Of the silver began
to melt. He took them from the fire.
let them cool slightly, then rolled and
hammered them to the desired thick
ness. This was the origin of "Shefheld
plate," all Of which was made in this
way until electroplating was invented.
Cornelius Dubbel left a bottle of
aqua regia "a mixture Of nitric and
muriatic acids on a shelf. 1t fell over.
the acid ran down over a window and
dropped into a bottle containing an
extract Of cochineal. This turned to a
vivid scarlet. Dubbel found that the
acid had dissolved some of the tin Of
the window casing and the combina-
ton had produced the new color. A
few experiments added the most bril-
liant color to the list Of dyes

MACHINE GUNS.
These Deadly Weapons Fire Some 700
Bullets a Minute.

These Deadly Weapons FIRE Some |Uo
Bullets a Minute.
The machine gun, which pours forth
direct hail of small caliber bullets, is
one Of the deadliest weapons of mod
ern warfare.
From the clumsy Calling gun has
come the modern ''automatic." mount
ed on a light tripod. and weighing less
than forty pounds. All the armies use
these guns. which. although they vary
somewhat in type, are essentially alike
in their mechanism and in their effec
tiveness.
In the Benet-Mercie automatic ma
chine gun Of the French army metal
feed strip, or clip, that contains thirty
ordinary army rifle cartridges is in
serted in slot on the right side of the
gun. AS the trigger is pulled the bolt
mechanism is released and, guided by
the main firing spring, pushes a car
fridge into the rifle chamber.
The instant the cartridge is in place
the breech mechanism locks and the
charge is exploded. On it's way through
the rifle barrel, little of the gas from
the exploded powder is diverted through
a hole in the side Of the barrel, and so
acts on a piston as to- force the bolt
mechanism back and to compress the
main spring.
In returning, the bolt mechanism
pulls the empty she'll from the cham
Der and throws it out below, so that
it does not interfere with the new
! cartridge that is now forced in from
| above.
The mechanism is so perfect that the
operation described takes place in a
small fraction Of a second, and the
bullets issue from the mouth Of this
deadly weapon at the rate of seven
hundred minute.-Youth's Com
panion.

many and Austria are about TO submit
full terms under which the central pow
ers will consent to peace is taken in
London circles to indicate growing
peace hunger among the foes OF the en-
tente.
Dispatches from Geneva, where the
Teutonic peace propagandlsts are ac-
tive, say that Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg and Count Won Burian, the
Austrian foreign minister, are soon to
meet in Vienna and draft the terms
which will be submitted TO all the allies
Press dispatches from Berlin and Ge-
neva yesterday reported that the Off
eial news agency of Germany, the Wolff
bureau, has sent to newspapers sum
mary Of possible terms of peace. This
summary, according to the Wolf bu-
reau, was prepared and printed by the
.Neue Zuericher Zeitung of Zurich.
Though the Wolf bureau specifically
declared that in circulating this sum
mary it is not representing the govern
ment in putting out peace feelers,"
that view was generally taken here yes
terday. British officials ridiculed the al
legged German peace programme, com
menting sarcastically on the idea that
Germany would exact huge indemnities
from the allies.
The possible peace terms suggested by
the Swiss newspaper and printed in Ger
many call for;
Evacuation of Belgium and northern
France by Germany
Establishment of a Polish kingdom
under the domination of Germany and
the payment of large sum annually to
Germany by Russia.
Payment to Germany by Belgium of
the sum Belgium formerly spent each
year on her armies.
Return of all German colonies con
quered by the allies
Payment by the allies to Germany of
an indemnity of about S3600,000,000.
