THE 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,''
