At the present time all this excites
no astonishment, but sixty years ago,
when navigation was only compre-
hended by means of sails or oars. the
wonder we have described was natur-
al
What is really surprising is that
the results of that trial were so unim-
portant; above all when we remember
that the Emperor had ordered a seri-
GUS examination of the discovery by
the members of the Institute, and that
several of them, among whom were
such men as Bossut, Carcot, Pronv,
Perrier, and Volney, were on board
the Nautilus when the trial trip was
made.
And yet four days afterwards, on
tho 18th of August, the Journal DIES
Debats received an article communi.
Gated by the Government on the sub
ject Of this trial which terminated
thus: sun
Doubtless they (the members of
the INSTITUTED will make report
which will give this discovery all the
eclat it deserves, since this mechau-
ISM, applied to our rivers, would be
fraught with the most advantageous
results to our internal navigation"
etc f0mff ~
Thus it appears that the system was
not considered applicable to maritime
navigation, and thus Messieurs de L
Institute, ocular witnesses of fact
the consequences OF which they were
able to appreciate, and of which they
had been ordered to find ont tho val
ne, and to explain the causes, thought
1T was consistent with their dignity
to reject scornfully the most wonder
full discovery that had ever been SUBJ
mltted to their understanding. htel
For the rest. this is no exception to
tho general rule. Have we not seen
in our own time distinguished soldiers
reject percussion powder for mnskets?
DO we not even now see breech load
ers rejected for the army, and has it
not required the campaign of Sadowa
to open the eyes of most Of the chiefs
of the armies of Europe?
BE this ms it may, the reports on
Fulton's discovery were far from ia
vorable. Scientific men rejected it,
The Emperor is said to have sighed on
reading their report, exclaiming 1T is
pity"
What must not have been the re-.
greet of the great captain when, eleven
years later, while being born into ex-
lie on board the Bellerophon, under
the English flag lie saw small steam
er maneuvreing with facility in British
waters, and on enquiring who was the
inventor was told that his name was
Fulton.

IN the last two months the Parisians
had seen with astonishment off the
quay Of the Pompe Feu, Mt Cbilot,
IA boat presenting most strange APP
peararce. 1t was armed, said the
journals of the time, with two large
wheels placed on an axle like that Of a
cart. Behind these wheels, which
were intended to be put in motion, so
ran the journals of 1904. there WINS a
sort OF large stove with pipe, little
fire engine by means Oh which the
wheels, and consequently the whole
vessel, might be put in motion. turned

partially SUCCEEDED in their attempt
The relations of the period do not tell
us who these persons were or what
were their motives.
When Fulton had repaired the in
juries done the ship, the first trial of n
steamboat in France, as has already
been mentioned, took place on the
Seine on the Sth of August, 1904
Fulton, assisted by three other men,
put his boat in motion, taking two
vessels of less Tonnage.
During an hour and n half he af-
forded curious crowd the strange
spectacle of ship moved like car
riage, by wheels fitted with oars, and
set in motion by fire engine. The
trial succeeded wonderfully and APP
peared conclusive.
The rate of progress up the Seine
was from five to six kilometres per
hour; and going down it was double.

One fine day Napoleon bethought
him to Fulton's project. 1t was at
the time when he was in the midst of
his troops at Boulogne preparing his
grand expedition against England.
With his gaze constantly fixed on
the great rival of France, he sought
every means likely to ensure the sue
cess of his descent upon the banks of
the Thames. The plan OF the Ameri
can engineer REQUIRED to him. Great,
indeed, would be the chances of sue
cess if Fulton had really discovered
the means of moving ships by means
of steam, power the use of which
might be regulated and controlled in
spite of the tides and winds. What a
wondrous and unequaled victory OBJ
tanned over the elements.
Napoleon then asked his Minister
for Fuiton's project The Minister
sent it, and on the Dist of July, 1904,
the First Consul, two months ago
hailed as Emperor, wrote the follow
& curious letter:

ICE Consumers, ATTENTION LIN my ad-
vertisement announced to the citizens of
Columbus and to the public in general,
that had for sale a superior article of Ice
and the only Ice for sale here, all of actich
.0as cut some taoo miles above the city.
Since that my competitors have adver-
tised in some of the Columbus papers that
they have the 'best and purest Ice ever Of
fered to the public" and that it was cut
"far above the filth of the city" This
would seem to leave the impression,
whether so intended or not, that they cut
their ice still above me. Now would
ask my competitors whether they did not
cut their Ice near the city, around, below
and in close vicinity to the Frankliuton
Slaughtering-house and Glue establish
ment, two of the fil5hiest places on the
river?
They claim also to have the "largest
stock.' 4 have no doubt they honestly
think so, and do not intend to deceive the
public. propose to settle this question,
that they give the number OF their ice
houses, length, breadth and depth of each.
and the number of cubic feet, and l will
do the same in regard to mine. 1t will
then be an easy matter to ascertain the
number of TONS for it may be interesting
to some of our citizens to know the guam
tiJy of ice stored away in the city. / claim
that have the largest stock of ice in Cen
tral Ohio, as such measurement will
show.
And here assert, and challenge contra
dictiori, that have cut ALL my ice about
too miles above the city, and am the only one
,cho has such ice for sale here. rr

ah POISONED THROUGH CARELEssNEss. =
Some one in attemuting to poison deg,
night before last, threw the venomed meat
on the doorstep, where little daughter of
John Phifer, who lives on Gay street oppo-
site the Engine House, got hold of it and
ate it. Her condition was very critical,
but through the application of prompt
p remedies her life was saved. Such care
lessness in the distribution of poisoned
meats cannot be too strongly reprehended.
