Show Refused SGOOOO Two wealthy Bostonians who were greatly interested in photography recently re-cently discovered in Paris a maker of lantern slides who possessed a secret method which gave results of extraordinary extraor-dinary brilliancy when the pictures were thrown on a screen They saw at once that there were no such lantern slides produced on this side of the Atlantic At-lantic and proposed to each other to acquire ac-quire the secret from tho Parisian owner own-er They found that he was by no means anxious to dispose of it Then they determined to tempt him with a large amount of money They agreed to offer him the sum of 60 000 for his secret and to agree that it should not be used commercially but only in an amateur way They were ready to pay even more but that was their formal offer To their surprise the Frenchman replied that he would not sell his secret for any amount of money that it was his alone he had nover revealed it to any one and he intended it should die with him He seemed in fact as destitute of tho scientific spirit as he was of the desire for money Boston Herald |
