With the other. Tho king realizing the situation, with lightning rapidity dug hie spurs into his horse, which reared vlolontly. I His quickness saved his llfo. Tho bullet, instead of burying Itself in tho king's breast, struck the horse on jho neck, but so close was It that tho king's left-hand glovo was blackened by the powder discharge. Before the aseallant was1, able to pull tho trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. The two men fell to the ground locked In each oth er's arms, struggling furiously.

King Alfonso, as eoon as he saw that the man had been secured, raised himself in the stirrups, turned to thq crowd, gave a military salute and shouted in a ringing voice: ""Long live Spain." He then dismounted and reassured his staff, saying: "It Is nothing, gen tlemen." , Then uprose a mighty roar front the wildly enthusiastic maseeB, which rolled along In great waves of sound, all the way as tho king rode to the palace, cool, collected and smiling. King Alfonso was forced to tell of what he lightly called "the Incident" which caused delay to Queen Vic toria and tho dowager empress, Maria Christina, who were alarmed greatly. Tho king smilingly allayed thoir fears. W. H. PAGE IS ACCEPTABLE Great Britain Responds to American Inquiry James M. Lynch Slated for Public Printer. Washington, April 15.

It would appear that oar forefather had little faith In patent laws to pi tect their rights In Inventions, remarks an exchange. What they discovered! or Invented they concealed. Workmea' vara put upon oath nover to reveal the process usod by their employers. Doors were kopt closed, artisans goto out woro searched, visitors were rig orously excluded from admission and falso operations blinded the workmen themselves. The mysteries ot every craft were hedged In by thick set fences of empyrlcal pretensions and Judicial affirmation. Tho royal manu factories of porcelain, for example, wero carried on In Europo with a spir it of Jealous excluslvcneas. Tho king of Saxony was especially circumspect. Not content with tho oath of secrecy Imposed upon his work people, he would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor of a brother mon arch. Neither king nor king's dele gates might enter the tabooed walls of Molsson. What la erroneously called tho Dresden porcololn was produced for 200 'years by a process bo secret that neither the bribery of princes nor tho garrulity of the operativea re vealed It.

Fow persona need to bo In formed that tinwaro la simply thin Iron plated with tin by being dipped into tho molten metal. In theory it la an easy matter to clean tho surface of Iron, dip It Into a bath of boiling tin, remove it enveloped with a sil very metal to a place for cooling. In prnctlco, however, tho process 1b one of tho moat difficult in the indus trial artB. It was discovered In Hoi-' land, and guardod from publicity with tho utmost vigilance for moro than half a century. England tried in vain to discover tho secret until ono James Sherman, a Cornish miner, insinuated hlmaelf Into tho works, becamo master of the secrot and brought it home.
