Ticket Stamper's Accident
Led to Discovery of Art
of Printing From Stone

An odd accident led to the discov-
cry OF lithographing.
In 1796 ticket stamper. employed
ut Munich theater. carelesSly left his
salary check on a table in the room
where he worked. \ gust of wind
suddenly blew the check off the table
into basin of water on the floor.
He dried the check as best he could,
and. to straighten the paper out. he
placed 1t underneath the milestone.
which had been resting on his print
ing stamp. and left ii lying there
throughout the night.
The following morning. on taking
the stone off the check. he was sur
prised 10 see that the imprint from
the stone was transferred 10 the
check. and the thought struck him
that by means of large stone he
could print" programs and songs. He
made experiments. and finally discov-
ered-through this accident-the art
of printing from stone.
Thus was he the first photographer.

Japanese Produce Dwarf
Trees Through-Training
in Reverse to Nature

There is a general impression that
the method of producing dwarf trees
is a secret that the Japanese have
never divulged; but the course to be
pursued is really simple. The whole
system of culture may be summed up
as the reverse of natures method. 1t
really consists, not in the survival of
the fittest, but rather in the survival
of the unfittest. A poor, weak seed is
usually chosen and planted. AS soon
as it has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmed off. The lit
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits a strength and vi
tally greater than it's fellow it is at
once cut off and the weaker shoot is
untouched in order to form the futufo
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system Of trimming and cutting is fol-
lowed punctiliously. Water is seldom
used-Only in very small quantities to
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree Is kept in pot too small for
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth Of a large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Jap
anese never tire watching the growth
Of the tree from day to day, week
to week and month to month. When
the tree has been growing for about
five years, 1t can then be practically
left to take care of itself. 1t has be-
come accustomed to its training, and
its surroundings. and. like force of
habit, follows the course laid out for
1T. In this manner some very mag
nificent specimens of dwarf trees are
produced which In their miniature
beauty and majesty compare favorably
with their big brothers in the unframed
forests.
