RUBBER CANNON BALLS. :
A World's Fair Exhibit That PuxiUd
. Louis Napoloen. .
An Instance of tbe obsession of the
mini by one Idea Is seen in a ludi
crous mistake made by Louis Napo
leon la 1855 at a world's fair held In
Paris while bo was emperor. Be bad
been trained to war, and be could not
aee a strange object without regard
Ing It la relation to war. Tbe bead
of tbe Doited States commission at
the exhibition was Maunsell B. Field,
wbo tells in bis "Memoirs of Many
Men" how greatly disturbed tbe em
peror was by an Amerlcan.invention.
Tbe commissioner was present at a
reception held at tbe palace. . ; v
"The emperor approached me and
remarked that be bad that afternoon
walked through .our department, of
tbo exposition this was Just before It
was open to the public that be bad
seen many thlugs there which Inter
ested him, but that nothing had so
much pleased blm ks the exhibition
of vulcanized India rtbber. Among the
articles he had n iticed something
which had puzzled him ever since.
He very much regrstted that I was
not present at the ti ne of bis visit -
"Here I Interrupted blm to say tha'
I very much regretted it myself and
that If he hnd sent me an Intimation
of his purpose I should have been
certain to attend.
" 'Well.' be answered, 'In one corner
I saw, storked as one sees them in an
artillery yard, a pile of vulcanized in.
dla rubber cannon balls. There was
nobody there to answer fie inquiries
which 1 desired to make. Ferhaps you
can explain the matter to me.'
"I hnd not even seen the balls In
Question and had to say so.
" 'I cannot imagine.' resumed his
majesty, 'how any preparation of In
dla rubber can be Urcd for projectiles,
It tins often occurred to me that, in
foniblnntion with other materials, it
inieht be mode useful for defensive
purposes.'
'J was compelled to admit that It
was equally mystjrlous to rae how tho
Inventor could have thought seriously
of making cannon balls of It. After so
unsatisfactory on Interview the emper
or probably did not think that It would
be civil to leave me Immediately, so be
sskeil roe If I took much interest in
military matters. I answered that 1
did not any more than civilians usual
ly do.
"I was at thnt time residing very
near tbo Tulare of Industry. Tbe next
morning I went over before breakfast
for the purpose of getting Information
upon the subject which bad so puzzled
tho emneror. I went directly to the
India rubber exhibit, and. sure enough,
I found the balls there Just as they
had been described to me It was too
early for me to expect to see tbe man
In charge, but there was a person In
bis place. I nsked what In the world
be expected to do with India rubber
cannon balls.

wercd; 'they are footballs!' "
