Real Inventor of the Steamboat
Hartford Times.

A statue of Robert Fulton has been erect
ed In the National Hall of Statuary, in the
Capitol, to represent Pennsylvania. 1t was
placed in its position yesterday. Robert
Fulton is generally credited with being the
inventor of the steamboat; and by many
persons he is also supposed to be native Of
New York. Both of these notions are erro-
neous. He was not the inventor of the
steamboat and he was a native of Pennsyl
vania. The inventor of the steamboat was
John Fitch. This remarkable man, native
Of that part of old Windsor that is on the
east side of the Connecticut river and
is now included in the newer town.
ship Of South Windsor, conceived the idea
of a steamboat while living in Philadelphia
In 1874, twenty-tbree years before Fulton
started his boat. Fitch went ahead with his
idea, petitioned Congress in 17S5 for aid to
build his vessel, and submitted his model to
the American Philosophical Society of Phil
adelphia. He received some assistance from
individuals, went ahead, built boat, the
Perseverance, and had it in actual operation
on the Delaware on the first of May, 1877.
His engine was the first double acting con-
densing engine transmitting power by means
of cranks ever constructed. The boat made
several trips, up and down the river; but,
owing to the difficulty of keeping the piston
tight against the comparatively rough in
terror surface of the cylinder, the rate was
slow-only three miles an hour. Fitch then
improved 1t, so that, in 1873, 1t made eight
miles per hour. 1t was then put into regular
use on the Delaware. Fulton saw it, and In
a year later saw Fitcb's model in Paris,
where the inventor had taken it in the vain
hope of getting French artisans TO build
steamer. Fulton, who, unlike Fitch, had
the important aid Of wealthy friends, had
failed in an invention of a submarine tor
pedo boat. Then he undertook, some sew
enteen years after Fitch's triumphant dem
onstration Oh the Delaware, to make a
steamer to ply on the Seine, at Paris; but it
proved total failure. He then went to EH-
gland and Scotland, and studied up the
built on wrong principle, was trying to do
work on the Clyde. Having the means, he
bought powerful engine of Watts inven-
ton in England in 1906, and sent it to the
United States, where, in 1907, he got it at
work in the first Hudson river steamer, the
Claremont. This boat made five miles an
hour up stream-not equal to Fitch's boat on
the Delaware, twenty years before. But
Fitch was poor and destined always to bitter
trials and dIsappointments. Fulton had
powerful friends and obtained unjus,ly'the
credit OF being the inventor of the steam
boat. Fitch died in disappointment and OBJ
scurity In Kentucky, by an overdose o. OPT
um; Fulton goes into the Hall of Statnary
in the Capitol. But history will yet right
this matter and do justice to John Fitch.

"SWEET HOME.
Buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington,

BY BENJAMIN +. TAYLOR

Oh, dews and flowers of splendid June
With pearls and garlands grace his toni
Who taught Milan's dear maid the tune
That times the whole worlds loving feet,
TO which all golden hearts shall beat
| Wher'er they wait or weep or roam,
OF "Home, Sweet Home" forever.
| Our mariner on the Spanish main,
The tattered miner in his tent
The wanderer on the throbbing plain,
| Where yellow moons by simooms wheeled
| Smite Desolation's finty shield.
A second Bow of Hope is bent
In Home, Sweet Home" forever
And when TO bugle and the blast
Where battle turns the lilies red,
Through flashing columns standing fast
The soldier cuts is narrow lane
That lets him through to Glory's fame,
He hears an angel overhead
Sing Home, Sweet Home" forever
The weary traveller who waits
In twilight's dim and drear ab ode

That some faint ray or friendly star
May shine abroad through doors aiar
And show his fading eyes the road,

camp of Blue, a camp of Gray,
A peaceful river rolled between,
Were pitched two rhe-shots away;
The sun had set the west aglow,
The evening clouds were crimson snow,
The twinkling campfres family seen
Across the dark ming river.
Then floated from the Federal band
The "Spangled Banners" starry strain;
The Grays struck up their "DiXie Land"
And Rally Round" and "Bonny Blue
And Red and White" alternate flew
All, no such flights shall cross again
The Rappahannock river!
And then, above the glancing "beam
OF song" bugle warbled low,
Like some bird startled from dream,
"Home, Home, Sweet Home" and voices
rang
And Gray and Blue harmonious sang
All other songs were like the snow
Among the pines when winds are stilled,
And hearts and voices throbbed and thrilled
With Home, Sweet Home forever.
No matter what the flag unfurled
All, DULcE DoMUM rules the world!
Sweet Singer of the Song of men,
Thou comest late TO claim thine own.
But when the daisies rise again
Arrayed in all thy borrowed dust,
The world will hold thy words in trust
And ages chant from zone to zone
Thy Home, Sweet Home" forever
The Memnon murmured song, they thought,
When dawning day his lips impressed,
And flushing marble warmed and caught
The sweet Ionic OF the Creek
All, truer far thy lips shall speak
Nor wait the touch of sun or stars,
For thee the night time has no bars
Welcome, dear heart, and take thy rest
At"Home, Sweet Home" forever.

How Cork Is Grown.

". Henri Mani in Moniteur Ladustreu.
Cork is yielded by the cork oak, Quercus
Eber, which chiefly flourishes on the shores
of the Mediterranean. There are, in Spain
and Algeria large forests Of this tree, which
is also cultivated in the departments of Lot
et-Garonne and Var, in the south of France
and in Corsica.
The cork oak arrives at its full growth in
about one hundred years, when, in hot cli-
mates, it attsins height of sixty or seventy
feet, with q diameter of six to eight feet.
The bark consists of two distinct portions,
the inner formed of fibrous tissue, and the
outer tuberous, and of porous and elastic
consistency, which constitutes the cork pro-
per. The first cork naturally produced by
the tree is called the male, and has scarcely
any value; but if this be removed, q second
irregular, which is known as the female
cork; and this it Is which Is generally used.
The stripping of the cork takes place In
summer, when the circulation of the sap IA
cilItates the separation of the outer from the
inner layer of bark. The removal of the first
growth Is effected when the tree is twenty to
twenty-five years old. Several annular in
cisions, and one vertical incision, are made
with hatchet, care being taken TO cut the
cork only, without touching the inner bark;
the layer of cork is then easily detached. A
young oak yields about ten pounds of cork
at the first stripping, while 1t is capable ulti-
mately, of yielding over 800 pounds. The
first cork has q thick and hard exterior which
diminishes with each successive growth.
The detached pieces of cork. fattened by
being piled up with the outside uppermost,
are freed from their external surface by boil
ing and pairing. The boiling of the cork
which lasts about half an hour, is effected
In large cubica, boilers fired with refuse cork
and closed by cover which dresses upon the
pieces. The pairing is done by hand or by
means of horizontal rollers provided with
iron blades; but this last named operation
may be dispensed with when the practice Of
covering the tree with the detached pieces of
bark is adopted.
The principal use OF the outer bark Is to
make bottle corks. They are frequently cut
by hand, though sometimes By machine,
horizontal knife giving rotary motion to
the piece of cork, thus cutting into cylin-
drical form. Cork 10 also used for making
life buoys, swimming belts, floats, non-con-
ducting Innings, etc. II Is moreover used
advantaseously in the form Of powder, for
packing fragile objects, a. . substitute for
lycopodium powder, andf for the manufacture
of iinoleum and cork leather. Cork Is how
ever, on account Of its elasticity reduced 10
powder with great difficulty. To effect this
mills with grinders In the shape of rasps,
mill stones revolving in pan, and artificial
stones revolving at great speed are employed

must get up and out again on special duty.

If.

If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battlefield and glory;
If writ in human hearts n name
Seems better than song or story:
If men, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn TO hate and TO abhor It;
If more relied on love TO guide,
The world would be the better for it.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world TO the supernal;
If men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human souls would pour

Is "yours" and "mine" would once com.
bine,
The world would be the better for Il.
If more would act the play of life,
And fewef spoil it IN rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheath its knife
Till good became more universal;
If custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it;
If talent shone for truth alone,
The world would be the better for it,
If men were wise in little things,
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer ruSted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
II men, when wrong beats down the right,
Would strike together ard restore ~;
If right made might IN every fight,
The world would be the better for II.
