/ The united steam power Of Great Britain alone
Is estimated equivalent TO the manual labor Of
upwards OF Jour huildred nstdjoas Of men. JAMES
WATT has no descendants Of his own name vet OF
all this host he may claim to be the rightful
tor. "GtaEts oiA idea" Coleridge happily
called the steam engiues--his offspring Giants
whose use and force can only be very imperfectly
and inadequately expressed by equivalents OF
man or horse power, because in many Of the opera
tions which steam effects without difficulty no CON-
binscon of the units offorce existing in men or hor
ses is possible An engine of thousand horse pow
er would not occupy the stable of the team ne
cessary for omnibus. 1t is this tireless uncom-
planning, nonvotng, iron-limbed population of the
British isles that composes the strength Of the
British nation, and alone renders its debt a
possibility. This sounds like commonplace. 1t
il certainly but reproducing idea whose innu-
merable facts have each, in time, been held up to
public gaze, yet the idea involved, of the pow
er developed by the use of steam, is no more
grasped by the common mind, than the limits
of space or the distances of the stars. We fancy
ourselves civilized, because we live among and
enjoy the fruits of civilization. We have become
used to effects and think we understand the causes
We are, in fact, perfectly boses with progress-our
experience has been soprodigous that nothing short
of mracle-if a miracle itself-would be cause fol
special wonder. We hear, with all the signs of in
difference, of 10000 miles of railway in successful
operation in the United States which if put togetb
er would make unbroSen track around this planet
