INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
A Ytn'l Bee at plMtlaetlou Detmwfi the
Two— NutuMu Instances.
Two words which glibly enough (all
(mm the lips of tho average man in a
cnrelcss sort of indiscrimination as if they
were synonymous. Rut there is u vast
sea of distinction between them. Liter
ally. they are not so widely separated;
but they have come to represent two to
tally different aspects of human action.
To tho writer's thinking, the terms liavo
been greatly confused. Columbus hardly
discovered America, ho invented it—that
is, us to its cognizable existence. Ho
studied, figured, applied the laws as lie
knew them, and determined that there
must l« a continent there, and ho
plodded on till ho proved tho fact, and
reduced his Invention to practice.
Newton discovered the law of gravity,
* one might say, without either mental or
physical effort. Watt invented tho steam
engine and Stephenson invented tho loco
motive. They felt and knew the goal was
ahead, but how to reach it was tho ques
tion which required invention of tho
highest order. Eli Whitney saw tho
painful and laborious methods of clean
ing out cotton and shredding it, intui
tively felt it could bo done by machinery,
went to work and gave the world ono of
his great inventions, tho cotton gin.
Howe’s great inspiration to placo tho cyo
at tho point of a needle may bo said to
liavo been a discovery. It unfolded a
picture to his mind prophetic of good to,
almost countless millions, hut invention
had to bo invoked to givo tho picture life,,
and tho sewing machine, in all its beauty,
came slowly forth from tho chrysalis of
Howe's discovery. Tho irregular latho
and tho modem harvester were inven
tions; their dim, fndefinablo forms loomed
up in tho mists of their inventors’ minds,
they felt the impulse of improvement,
the valdo of the goal gained, and they
went to work and at hut succeeded, and
the wood carver and reaping hook lost
their usefulness to that extent,
The electric telegraph was never dis
covered; it was consistently invented.
Countless 'devices and methods were de
signed, tested, thrown away—to bo after
wards revivified, many of them—new
appliances and systems laboriously
worked out, tho midnight oil unspar
ingly sacrificed, until at lost a perfected
and practical system and apparatus were
given to the world.
It is hard to say whether the dynamo
was invented or discovered, considering
its prototype, tho magneto machine. Tho
probabilities are it was an accidental dis
covery. Tho arc light was a discovery
pure and simple. Electric incandescence
was a discovery, but tho incandescent
lamp in its commercial form stands forth
mono of tho most beautiful examples of
man's inventivo faculty. The countless
experiments on material, tho bulb, the
seal, tho standardizing, the pumps, and
all the appliances that, go to provide us
wRiT the beautifully glowing luminary,
all are ineradicable proofs of invention of
the very highest order. Midnight oil and
noonday sun, morning’s vigor and even
ing’s reposeful ruminations, were nil
called into requisition to complete tho
work. This is truo invention.
The phonograph was originally a dis
covery, a happy thought of Edison's, but
invention of a high order was necessary
to produce tlio beautiful instrument of
tho present day. It was like Howe's
needle—tho germ was there, but tho ma
chine had to bo devised to mako it prac
ticable. Tho undulntory telephono was n'
discovery, n brilliant ono, but still a dis
covery. A happy thought supplied tho
missing link hi ah incomplete chain, and
when the weld of that link was accom
plished tho whole world was enchained
in admiration, tho wonderful utility of
tho derico was quickly recognized, and
tho discoverer reaped a rich harvest.
Tho pneumatic process of Bessemer was
an invention of high gradoond far reach
ing importance, and the Siemens regen
erative furnace has proved its equal In
merit ns a methodical and logical inven
tion beautifully carried out.
The inventor secs his goal, and consis
tently strives for it. He knows the object
is there, and he goes energetically after
it, sometimes straight to it, but oftener
is many times lost in tho wilderness of
deluded fancy. Ho sees a light ahead,
sighs relief and darts after it, only to
find it a will o’-tho-wisp. Undaunted,
ho starts again, only perhaps to meet
other and worse misfortunes. But lie
struggles on hopefully, and at last
reaches tho shrine of hts adoration and is
for the timo content.
The discoverer walks along calmly
toward some goal, or lies on the roadsido
meditating, and happening to cost his
idle eyes downward, sees a gem spark
ling nt his feet, and ho sometimes picks it
up and adds it to the galaxy of tho
world's diadem, but he os often fails to
note tiie scintillations that betoken its
preciousness, and spurns it -bock into the
deeper dust, to lie unseen and unknown
perhaps for ages. Which of these two
S romoters of the world’s welfare merits
30 highest praise, it is needless to ask.

A curious affection is paradoxical deaf
ness. Dr. Boucheron, in a note to tho
Paris Academy of Sciences, lately stated
that the patient is deaf for speech ui tho
silence? <S a retired room, yet hears the
some in the midst of noise, as in a mov
ing carriage or railway train, or in tho
street. Tho disorder; which Is grave,
progressive and sometimes hereditary, is
caused by compression of tho labyrinth
of the ear. —Arlcansaw Traveler.
