THE COMING DEMOCRACY.

among other things he took occasion
to sny:

. One of tiie greatest discoveries ever
initio was the result of the purest acci-
dent it -was the year 170(1. The citi-
zens of Munich had Just wltnesnciLtho
first triumphant performance' of Jlo-
zart's opera "Don Juan" and the the-
ater was deserted by all save one man
Alois Seiinefelder who after making
a round or Inspection In the building
to see that no sparks had Ignited tiny-
thing combustible retired to his room
to stump the tickets or admission for
tho dny following. When he entered
his apartment he had Ih. things In
his baud a polished whelsttnio which
he had purchased for sharpening ra-
zors. 11 ticket stamp still moistened
with printing Ink 11ml u cheek on the
treasurer of tins theater for his weekly
salary. As ho placed the latter upon
the table a gust of wind swept It high
up In his room for a moment mid then
deposited It In a basin llllc-tl with wa-
ter. Seiinefelder dried the wet paper ns
well as be could nnd then weighted It
down with the whetstone upon which
he had before carelessly placed the
stamp. When ho returned to his room
the following morning bo was aston-
ished nt seeing tho letters of the stamp
printed with remarkable accuracy up-
on the dampened paper. A thought
came to htm. He wondered whether
by some such means he could not sim-
plify Ills work .of continually copying
the songs of the chorus. Ho went out
and purchased a largo stone commenc-
ed making experiments and ai wo all.
know now finally discovered the art
of printing from stone lithography.
