A ,'SUMM jIBSS YEAR.
Snow and Ice in June, July and Ai
gust-Winter Was Mild in 1816
But -Summer Never Came at
alU During the Year.
The year 1816 was known through
-ont the United States and Europe a
the coldest ever experienced by an;
person then living. There are per
-sons in northern New York who ha(
been in the habit of keeping diarie
for years, and it is from the ppige
of an old diary begun in 1810 ant
'kept unbroken until 1840 that th(
following information regarding thi
year without a summer has beer
taken.
January %Ans so mild that miost
persons allowed their fire to go oul
-aind did not; burn wood except /Ii
cooking. Here were a few (-old days
but they were very few. Most of
the time tie air was wari ant
svrinildike. February was not, cold
8oie days were colder- than any in
January, but Ilhe weather was about

WHAT TO INVENT.
Some Ieeded. Artioles That WMl
Bring kllon to Makero.
I You don',t have to be an inventor
r to invent. Some of our greatest in'
vontors started out in other lines
- The majority of the great inventions
in America are due to men wh
stumbled onto improvements in thei
I work.
Thomas A. Edison who has beer
out nearly 500 patents, started work
at 12 years of age as a newsboy on
the Grand Trunk railroad. For more
than ten years he was a telegraph
operator and it was .not until lie was
37 years old that he took out his first
patent.
Benijanin Franldin, who first put
lecetricity to practical use, was a
printer's apprentice at the age of 12,
and it was not, until he was 45
years old that. he flially found elec
t ricity.
The inveiftor of the telephone,
Alexander G. Bell, was a Scotchian,
who came to this county in 1870 as a
teacher of deafn mutes, and then be
came professor of the University of
I'ostonl.
El'.i Wlhiitney, of cotton gin fame,
was a leacher in (eor-ia, where flrst
le roalized tihe importa ice of the
improveient whichi he later made.

lilnotype is one of, the greatest sue
OesSes. This invention practically
was stumbled upon by a German
watchimaker, Ottmar Mergenthaler,
.who vaie to this country in 1872.
A man was walking along the
street one day when he happened to
s1 nlle over a trapdoor hinge in the
iewalk. 1lle vnur'sed Ilhe hinge, look
.d. b:ck at il, and woidered why
they had to hiave hlinges that pro

There aro t hloisa 141s of Simple

Women are forever puittin new

An nitlieliiehint to prevelnt these fron

braid would find a ready market.
Flexible glass is a mercantile need
which would bring a fortine to the
man who invented it.
