Yet despised and neglected he was, the work he
suggested ad vanced with Pid strides, and still moves

entitled credit for it. N will read il without
feeling interest in the subject and a desire for
farther information of this geDtemon: Cincinnati

! Thomas Gray was born in Leeds, England, a.
bout half century, or more, ago-and this is all We
know of his early history. The MiddIetown collery
had railway TO carry coal to Leeds, DIS lance OF
three miles. The moved long the of three
and half miles per hour. 1t laughed at moi
by Gray, but by the wise public. Gray saw in his
little work something that might be augmented into
greatness and he thought upon the subject-and
forthwith became a visionary! He talked and wrote
upon his project Of" General Iron Railway - the
people declared him insane. He peiitioned Parlia.
ment, sought interviews with the Lords and other
great and thus became the laughing stock of all
England. He received nothing but rebuffs wherever
he went All ,s took place in 1920, or t1ereabouts.

laid. The world was benefited by the madness oil
| Thomas Gray.
Well, what became of him the reader will ask
We do not know but We believe he still lives, in
Exeter, to which place he removed. Up to 1916 he
had been neglected. While thousands have been
enriched by the consumaton of his brilliant scheme
he remained forgoten-forced by poverty sell glass

Journal, few years ago, gave a somewhat lengthy
sketch of his career thus bringing him into public
notice. We have nothing in print in relation 10 him
