JUST BY CHANCE.
Important nincovi-rliw Which [lani Been
Made Through Accident*.
Valuable discoveries have been made,
and valuable inventions suggested, by
the veriest accidents. An alchemist,
while seeking to discover a mixture of
earths that would make the most dur
able crucibles, one day found that ho
had made porcelain. The power of
lenses, as applied to (lie tel* seope. was
discovered by a watchmakers appren
tice. While holding tqxtctaele glasses
between his thumb and finger he was
startled at the suddenly enlarged appear
ance of a neighlsiring church spire. The
art of etching ujkui glass was discovered
by a Nuremberg glass cutter. By acci
dent a few drops of aqua forth* fell upon
his spectacles. He noticed that the
glass became corroded and Roftened
where the acid had touched it. That was
hint enough. lie drew figures upon
glass with varnish, applied the corroding
fluid, then cut away the glass around the
drawing. When the varnish was re
moved the figures up|>eared raised upon
a dark ground.
Mezzotinto owed its invention to the
simple accident of the gun barrel of a
sentry lieconting rusted with dew. The
swaying to and fro of a chandelier in a
cathedral suggested to Galileo the appli
cation of the pendulum. The art of
lithographing was perfected through sug
gestions made by accident. A jssir mu
sician was curious to know whether
music could not be etched upon stone ns
well as upon copper. After he had pre
pared liis slab Ins mother asked him to
make a memorandum of 6uch clothes as
she proposed to send away to lie washed.
Not having pen, ink and paper con
venient, he wrote the list on the stone
with the etching preparation, intending
to make a copy of it at leisure. A few
days later, when about to clean the
stone, he wondered what effect aqua
fortis would have upon it. He applied
the acid, and in a few minutes saw the
writing standing out in relief. The next
step necessary was simply to ink the
stone and take off an impression.
The shop of a Dublin tobacconist, by
the name of Lundyfoot, was destroyed
by fire. While lie was gazing dolefully
into the smoldering ruins, he noticed
that bis poorer neighbors were gathering
the snuff from the canisters, lie tested
tlio snuff for himself, and discovered
that the fire bad largely improved its
pungency and aroma. It was a hint
worth profiting by. He secured another
shop, built a lot of ovens, subjected the
snuff to a heating process, gave the
braifd a particular name, and In a few
years became rich through an accident
which he at first thought had completely
ruined him. The process of whitening
sugar was discovered in a curious way.
A hen that had gone through a clay
puddle went with her muddy feet into a
sugar house. She left her tracks oil a
pile of sugar. It was noticed that wher
ever her tracks were the sugar was
whitened. Experiments were instituted,
and the result was that wet clay came to
ho used in refining sugar. The origin of
blue tinted paper came about by a mere
slip of the hand. The wife of William
East, an English paper maker, accident
ally let a blue bag fall into one of the
vats of pulp.—Eoiidoii Ttd Bits.
CurioKitioM hi Numcs.
Curious names are always interesting
to the general public, and there are
probably few persons who would not
throw 'a second glance from a Broadway
car as they passed the drygoods house
of Mr. Jxitjues, or the barber shop of Mr.
Yf. The English speaking public have
become more or less accustomed to the
odd appearance of German proper names,
hut there are few iiorsons comparatively
who appreciate what tmculiar meaning
is hidden behind the average jumble of
consonants and vowels which forms the
Teuton name. • One cannot imagine the
possibility that the English transla
tions of some German names could
he used for the salue purpose among
an Anglo-Saxon people without at
least causing a howl either of indigna
tion or of hilarity. In New York’s di
rectory, for example, there are such
names beginning with "F” alone, as
Feigenblatt, manning “tig leaf;” Fahne
stock, “llagstafi;" Faul, “lazy” or “rot
ten;” Faust, “list;” FcUchtwange, “moist
cheek;" Fleischhacker, “meatchopper,”
and Frauenheim, “home for women.”
And when these facts are considered
there arises at once the conviction that
Smith, Brown mid the rest of them
should feel grateful* that they are not
approached every day and addressed:
“How are you, Mr. Homo for Women?"
etc. —New York Tribune.
Exceptions to tho Hole.
“The maddest woman I ever saw," re
marked Conductor Sam Bones, “was one
who had just been saved from death.
She was an old woman and was stand
ing on the truck used bv the local trains.
The engineer whistled, but she was
somewhat deaf and had her ears all
muffled up, and did not hear the whis
tle, Tho engine came on and on and the
old lady stayed calmly on the track,
with her hack to the oncoming locomo
tive. Iwo young men ran from across
the street and dragged the old lady from
the track just in time to save her life.
Well, you would have thought that they
laid dene her an irreparable injury. She
stormed and raised a row, and all tho
thanks tin young men got for risking
their lives was a torrent of abuse.”
“That reminds me,” said Billy Norton,
modestly, “of a little incident out in the
San Joaquin Valley. I happened to be
there at a little station when a young
lady tried to step upon a moving train,
and fell under the cars. I dragged her
out. After she had collected her wits
she flew into a passion because 1 had
spoiled her bonnet, forgetting that her
life hail been saved m_the act. —Oakland
(Cal.) Tribune.
A Good Washington Hotel.
Actor James T. Powers is the latest
practical joker of note. In his last joke
Richard Cummings, who plays the part
of Wilfred Shad bolt in “The Yeomen of
the Guard" road company, was the vic
tim. Cummings, who is an Englishman
and unfamiliar with American institu
tions, warned to know of Powers where
he could And a good hotel when their
company arrived in Washington last
Sunday. “Do you \vant to put up at a
$3 or a $4 or a $5 house?" Powers asked.
Cummings thought he would be satisfied
with a comfortable house. “The
White House is the beet $4 house I know
in Washington,” said Powers, putting on
his most serious air. “It's right in the
heart of the city and everything nice. I
can recommend it." Cummings called a
cab, said “White House” to the driver
and in ten minutes was having a heated
argument with the gatekeeper of the
lute House grounds. The controversy
t ‘ ° gatekeeper's favor and
Cum aings went in search of Powers
with a club.-Philadelphia Times.
The Favorite
Medicine for Throat and Lung/Diffi
culties has long been, and still is, Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral. It cures Croup,
Whooping Cougli, Bronchitis, and
Asthma; soothes irritation of the
Larynx and Fauces; strengthens the
Vocal Organs; allays soreness of the
Lungs; prevents Oonsumpfion, and,
even in advanced stages of that disease,
relieves Coughing and induces Sleep.
There is no other preparation for dis
eases of the throat and lungs to be com
pared with this remedy.
“My wife had a distressing cough,
with pains in the side and breast. \Ve
tried various medicines, hut none did
her any good until I got a bottle of
Aypr’s Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by
the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this
Cough Medicine
to everyone afflicted."—Robert Horton,
Foreman Headlight, Morrillton, Ark.
“ I have been afflicted with asthma
for forty years. Last spring I was taken
with a violent cough, which threatened
to terminate iny days. Every one pro
nounced me in consumption. I deter
mined to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
Its effects were magical. I was immedi
ately relieved and continued to improve
until entirely recovered.” —Joel Bullard,
Guilford, Conn.
“ Six months ago I had a severe hem
orrhage of the lungs, brought on by an
incessant cough which deprived mo of
sleep and rest. 1 tried various reme
dies, hut obtained no relief until I be
gan to take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me."
Mrs. E. Coburn, 19 Second st.,
Mass.
“ For children afflicted with colds,
coughs, sore throat, or croup, I do not
know of any remedy which will give
more speedy relief than Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral. I have found it, also, invalu
able in cases of Whooping Cough.”
