GOOD RESULTS OF ACCIDENTS
Some Of the Most Valuable Discov.
cries Have Been Brought
About by Chance.

How to make starch from corn
(maize) was discovered accidentally
by Thomas Kingsford, a mechanic.
One day he threw a mess of corn
meal mush into the garbage pail His
wife emptied some I've into the same
pail and in the morning when he emp.
tied the pail he was astonished to find
small quantity of starch at the bot
tom.
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 sill
yer 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
thickness. This was the origin OF
Sheffield plate" all of which was made
in this way until electroplating was
invented
Cornelius Dubbel left bottle of
aqua regia "a mixture of nitric and
muriatic acids) on a shelf 1t fell
over; the acid ran down over win
dow and dropped into a bottle con-
tanning an extract of cochineaI. This
turned to vivid scarlet. Dubbel
found that the acid had dissolved some
of the tin of the window casing and
the combination had produced a new
color. A few experiments added the
most brilliant color to the list of
dyes.

Polish That Brings Out Natural Tint.
A superior polish that is said to have
been kept always on hand a century
ago in the best households is sim.
pie mixture and is made so inexpen.
sively at home that 1t can be used as
freely to keep the hardwood floors in
order as for polishing furniture, says
the Washington Herald.
A quart of turpentine may be used
and added, cut into fine pieces, quar-
ter of pound of the beeswax-the old
yellow variety. 1t will take several
days to dissolve the wax, but little
shaking at intervals will shorten the
time. When it is ready to use it will
be of the consistency OF cream, and
should be used sparingly and rubbed
in well with an old piece of flannel
If used lavishly as one is tempted to
do with things that are cheap, it will
look smeary.
The luster from this polish is beau
tiful and enduring. Every time 1t is
used it seems to enrich and bring out
the natural tints of the grain.

meats. The Home brand occupies a
prominent place in his stock and he
has demonstrated the fact that Home
brands make happy homes. In con-
nection with the grocery department
he has meats on sale which are all
we'll cured and fresh. He buys great
deal from the Swift Co. He also ham
dies a small line of dry goods like
shirts and overalls and notions as well
as cigars and confectionery. The
store is spacious and nicely arranged
throughout. ALI goods which are like

Mr.. Peterson is a man who is well
able to conduct high class grocery
store and has everything that the buy

of meats and groceries. He aims to
give satisfaction at all times and is
congenial to his trade. People having

two departments together occupy a
floor space of 145x25 feet. In addition
there are several stock rooms in which
goods are stored.
On the second floor is the clothing
department. Here are found the fam

men. On this floor is also found the
Ladies' Ready-to-wear department,
rugs, Graperies, etc. VII.
When we consider that this store
did business of $4,000 last year,
we can see that it is popular trading

have paid 6 per cent dividend to

they pay a per cent dividend on the

w. s. GEER.

Probably the newest undertaking In
business way which we have the
pleasure to review, is that of Mr.. w.
s. Geer, who one week ago took over
the general agency for the Kero Wat
er Burner, new invention which is
doing much to displace the cares and
worries of the old-fashioned kitchen.
The Kero Burner is an attachment
which can be used on any steel range
or cooking stove it supplies, and by the
successful combination of air, water
and kerosene, a hot blaze is thrown
against the under side of the lids.
The Kero Water Burner appeals not
only to men for saving money for buy
ing fuel, but to every housewife, be-
cause of it's great convenience and
cleanliness. It can be lighted with
match and will bake, boil or roast
anything, in less time than the wood
or coal. BY clever continuance, all
the hydro.carbon Of the kerosene is
quickly and thoroughly vaporized and
when both have mixed with air, their
steam produces the most intense heat
at an expense of one-half of fuel. The
writer has seen the Kero Water Burn
er In operation, and can say it does all
that has been claimed for it. Mr.. w.
S. Geer is fortunate in securing the
agency of such useful commodity
and with the hard work that he will
give to his new enterprise, it promises
to have a splendid future.
For fifteen years this gentleman has
been carpenter, and his honesty and
ability Is known by many of our COM
munity. His product is made to At
any stove or range, produces no ashes
or SCOT, or odor, is of no danger and
cdn run from four to six hours on a
gallon Of kerosene. Already a consid-
cradle number of orders have been
taken by Mr.. Geer and many people
throughout the county are becoming
interested in the Kero Water Burner.

of our Fourth ward. Only few years
ago he built his house there, and at
that time there were only or in
that neighborhood. Since that time
amazing growth has taken place. It Is
now almost as thickly built up as some
of the older residential sections of our
city. They also have improvements
that are enjoyed by other sections.
They have lights, electricity, tele-
phone service, city water, sewer con-
nections, good sidewalks, etc. When
Mr.. Erickson first plated this part of
town, he did not dream it would be
built up so rapidly.
AS real estate man, he deals in city
property as well as lands throughout
the county, also has some good tracts
of land in northern Minnesota, North
Dakota and Wisconsin. During the
thirty years that he has lived in this
vicinity he has always been known as
a man Of high standing and one who
deals with honest principles.
