Made Fortune Out of Dream.
It was while a Bristol (Eng.) me
chanic slept that the idea came to him
of making tHo round shot ns we know
it. His occupation was that of cutting
up lead strips for manufacturing shot.
One night he went to bed and dreamed
it was raining and the ■ raindrops
turned to lead, covering the earth with
lead shot. In the morning he melted
some lead, took it up to St. Mary’s
Uedcliff tower, and poured it down. On
‘descending, he found the lead had as
sumed the shape of shot, and by ap
plying a similar method in his business
he made a fortune of $">0,000.
