BOY INVENTORS.
rror, Tie Manclester Times.


Some Of the most important inventions nave been
the work of mere boys The invention Of the valve
motion to the steam engine was made by boy.
Watt left the engine III a very incomplete cOndi-
ton. from the fact that be bad no way TO opch or
close he valves except by means of levers operated
by the hand He set 40 large engine at one of the
mines, and a boy was hired to work these valve
levers. Although this was nor hard work, yet IT
requlred his constant attention. As he working
these levers hr saw that paris OF the engine moved
i'm the right direction. and at the exact time that lie
had 20 open close the valves lie procured "A
stron, cord and innde one end fast to the proper
part of the engine, and the other end TO the valve
lever: and the boy had the satisfaction OF seeing
the engine move Oh with perfect regularity OF mo-
tion.
A short time after the foreman came around and
found the boy playing marbles at the door. Look
ing at the engine he soon saw the ingenuity OF the
boy and also the advantages Of 80 great an inven-
tion. Mr. Watt then carried out the boys inventive
genius in a practical form and made the steam
gine a perfect notwithstanding machine.

THE GENERAL LIST


The transactions in stocks to-day amounted only
10 233 800 shares. Three stocks contributed to the
total business 7S.Gl0 shares-Denyer and Rio
Grlnde 274tO shares, Central of New-JcrSey
2G1 40 shares and Western Union 25,O3O shares.
II was those three stocks that gave TO the whole
market whatever of character it possessed.
The action of the New-Jcrscy Legislature
in authorizing any railroad in that
State to iss,> stock for the retirement of
its bonds had encourage the accumulation of con-
siderable short" interest in Central New-Jcrsey
stock Hence persi5 ent buying OF that stock was
Ger ain to bring in the support OF the bears" ihe
stock onencd at 92aia 923s and rose to 950o095A.
The Short interest IN Denver and Rio Grinde
also had assumed unusual proportions so that that
stock offered favorable field in which bears might
bs fligh cncd into covering The price
of IT, however. only advanced from 6liS to
G5ls. Western Union freely sold
from 50 down to 70l2, and freely bought from 70
up 10 1881 There was a large covering of shorts
i'm three stocks named, there was a moderate buy
ing for the same account all the list but aside
from the three stocks the dealings reflect little more
than the radings back and forth of the Bosrd-roOm
speculators. The poor bank statement was without
effect upon prices, unless the advance that followed
its publication may be credited to it. The market
closed dull, bit feversh and unsettled.
