Newspaper Page TextTHE DAILY DEMOCRAT. CHEAT INVENTION'S. The traditions of gieat discoveries thit have come by chance are, lor the most . part, myths. True, a lucky accident may occasionally give a hint to an inventive mind that will help toward a lorg contem plated consummation, but such an occur rence Is only a link in a chain of circum stances all tending toward a common mii. Sir Isaac Newton got such a hint in his philosophical researches when, on a certain occasion, he noted the falling of an apple He had seen many apples fall before that time, no doubt, and no day of his previous life could have parsed without presenting to his sight sin.ilar occurences having the same relation to the object cf his study. But that particular apple happened to fall and be noticed by him just w hen his study of the greatest of ali philosophical prob. lems had reached the right point to make the object lessor, valuable. Tradition gives another alleged accident the fami iar story of the kettle as the turning point in the discovery or intention of the steam engine, but he who studies the life and work of James Watt will find that there was nothing accidentia! in the kettle incident. It was but a link in the long chain, all cf whose links he wrought by patient toil. All the great triumphs of in vention that are now employed as factors in human progress have reached their present developemcnt by successive steps. The telegraph of Edison's time, although like that of Morse in its general features, is very unlike that in detail and in the manner of operating it. A single inven tion of Edison's not by any means an ac cident quadrupled the capacity of all the wires strung or thereafter to be strung. The engines that drire great ships across the Atlantic in less than six days are the results of the work ot successive gen. erations of brainy men. Millions have been lost in experiments, change has fol lowed change, one improvement has suc ceeded another, until the marine engine of our time bears little resemblance to that of thirty years ogo. Go into the press room of a great newspaper and see the printing machines at work making and folding copies of a twelve-page edition at the rate of one thousand a minute, and you see the result of hundred's of inven tions, the pi ogress of generations. Acci dent has nothing to do with it. All has come from work, work of the best brains stimulated by the desire to get fame and fortune. Inventive Age. One of the many good things that President Cleveland did was to veto the direct tax re funding bill. Now that he is out of the way the bill has been started on its passage again and will doubtless become a law. It is a direc' steal, but that will not stop it now. As Sena tor Sherman says, it will "remove a ' bone of contention," by removing one slice of the sur plus. Andrew Carnegie is making a noble use of his superfluous wealth in founding great public libraries in Pennsylvania. Hut would it not be a better illustration of "Triumphant Hem ocracy" if the workingmen in the prelected in dustries from which Mr Carnegie has obtained his wealth were paid wages which would able them to buy their own books?

In the western part of North Carolina is what has long been known as the haunted spring. The spring comes from under neath a huge rock. Nothing peculiar is noticed until a stooping posture Is taken over the spring for the purpose of drink Inc. Then a most frightful face appears In the botioin, and as the person, s face ap proaches in surface of the water, this spectre f.icc. ui.h most horrid grimaces, rises ! mee. i . No one has ever been known to have the courage to drink the water after the appearance of the appari tion. Here is the way that lngersoll explains the situation. "Here is a shoe shop. Om: of the men Is always busy during the day. In the evening he goes courting some nice girl. There are five other men that don't do any such thing. They spend half their working evening in dissipation. The first young man bye and bye cuts out those others and gets a boot and shoe store of his own. Thea he marries and Is able to take his wife out riding. The five former companions, who see him indulging In this luxury, retire to e saloon and pass res olutions that there is an eternal struggle between labor and capital. The fo'lowing Is a method to make a paste which will keep: Dissolving a teas poonful of alum in a quart of water. When cold stir in as much flour as will give it the consistency of thick cream, carefully bjatlng up '.l the lumps. Stir In half a teaspoonful of powdered rosin. Pour on the mixture a teacup of boiling water, stirring It well. When it becomes thick pour in an earthen vessel. Covet and keep in a cool place. When needed for use, take a portion and soften it with warm water. It will last a year. If you wish to have a pleasant odor stir in a few dtops of oil of wintergreen clove. The Treasury Department has decided that so cilled "sailor hats," now so much worn by young ladies and manufactured of wool, felted and covered with a black varnish, are dutiable at the rate of 35 cents per pound and 40 per cent ad valorem under the tariff provision for "hats of wool." This is contrary to the claim of importers that they are entitled to entry at the rate of 30 per cent ad valorem under the provision for "bonnets, hats and hoods for men, women and clulJicn,'' TJOUND.
