The automatic systemof signalling
was discovered accidentally at a
spiritualistic seance, The many uses
of borax were discovered through' the
accidental preservation of a dead
horse ,in Yellowstone Park, in the
"(Tutted States.
The system of 'coupling signals and
orktng them all from one point and
with a single action was the thought
of a lazy pointsenan, who hated to
move. It was the burning of a"starch
factory which introduced to the world
a cheapgum, and it was the omission
of a workman to put size into the
paper he was making which produced'
the very first blotting paper.
To the upsetting of a tool -chest we

Why Do the Old Have Still-

eyes,
They who in youth were amorous

Breathing of life? How Dome they by

Glances of calm, this dignity to -day?
Quiet,- aloof, almost they scorn the

Silence is theirs, but laughter never

where there are sisters you find well-

Of course, men won't own up to it,
but you notice it In a hundred little

Masterpieces of Fiction That
Were Dictated.
The man who walks about his study
or lounges in an easy chair whilst his
secretary takes down a dictated novel
or article for the Press is sometimes
regarded as a product of these modern
days of hustle.
Yet there are greatprecedents, for
both "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise
Regained" were dictated. Milton was
blind and unable to transcribe his own
works. His method was to compose
a number of lines in his mind, and
then dictate' them to anyone who hap-
pened to be handy.
Wordsworth, the great interpreter
of nature, used to ramble over hill and
dale composing poems. When, after
his death, an inquirer asked an aged
villager if he knew him, the old fellow
said: "Aye, sure, I've oftseen him goo
bnrnmin' past." He was referring to
the poet's habit of murmuring his
lines as he walked.
In this way he could compose and
memorize a couple of hundred lines.
When he returned home be would call
his sister or •hie wife to his side, and
dictate the whole to them .whilst they
wrote.... Sir Waller Scott is another example.
The whole of "Ivanhoe" and "Guy
I Mannering" was dictated to nacre

The Shoemaker's Kingdom.
He was in his way a king, that mis-

old shoemaker who lived in one of the
grimiest streete in the squalid East
End of London. He could think great
thoughts, bright, happy thoughts by
means of which he peopled his king-
dom, the dark little kitchen in which
he sat day in and day out. In London's
Underworld, Mr. Thomas Holmes, who
for upward of a quarter of a century
was a police -court missionary, reports
this remarkable conversation, which
took place between himself and the
cripple:

Preserving Pianists' Art.
To play the player piano properly,
taste, mueical instinct and consider-
able practice are necessary. Sufficient
justification for the last will be found
not only in the increased, power and.
fluency of expression that result, but
oleo in the vast fund of knowledge
that Is rejuired 15. the process.
Through a highly sensitive electri-
cal device it is possible for a pianist
whilst playing what appears to be an
ordinary piano, to cut simultaneously
an exact record of his playing upon a
paper music roll. The result is an al-
most =cannily truthful reproduction
of the pianist's pertorm.ance which,
after the roll le duplicated, becomes
available to every owner of an instru-
ment fitted with the; mechanism.
The accuracy with' which these in-`
etruments reproduce the pianist's own
interpretation, the phrasing, the rhy-
thmic peculiarities, the niceties, and
delicacies of shading is amazing.
It is Barely no trifling contribution
to culture that the all too fugitive art
of the pianist may thus be preserved
for the benefit of vast audienoes whom
he may never see, or, that the music
lover of 1929 may enjoy in the seclu-
sion of his home, the playing of :the
