REAL INVENTOR OF THE STEAMBOAT.

A statue of Robert Fulton has been
erected 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
have been q native of New York. Both
of these notions are erroneous. He was
not the inventor of the steamboat and he
acaS native of Pennsylvania. The inventor
of the steamboat was John Fitch. This
remarkable man, a native of that part of
old Windsor that is on the east side of the
Connecticut river and is now included in
the newer township of South Windsor,
conceived the idea of steamboat while
living in Philadelphia in 1884, twenty
three years before Fulton started his boat.
Fitch went ahead with his idea, petitioned
Congress in l7S5 for aid to build his ves-
sci, and submitted his model to the Ameri.
can Philosophical Society of Philadelphia.
He received some assistance from individ-
uals, went ahead, built boat, the Perse-
verance, and had it in actual operation on
the Delaware on the lst of May, 1857,
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 keep
ing the piston tight against the compare
lively rough interior surface of the cylin.
der, the rate was slow-only three miles
an hour. Fitch then improved it, so that,
in 1888, it made eight miles per hour. It
was then put into regular use on the Della
ware. Fulton saw it-and in later year
saw Fitch's model in Paris, where the in
ventor had taken it in the vain hope of
getting French artisans to build a steamer.
Fulton, who, unlike Fitch, had the i'm.
portant aid of wealthy friends, failed in
an invention of a submarine torpedo boat
Then he undertook, some seventeen years
after Fitch's triumphant demonstration on
the Delaware, to make steamboat to ply
on the Seine, at Paris but it proved
total failure. He then went to England
and Scotland, and studied up the mechan-
ism of steam canal towboat, which, built
on a wrong principle, was trying to do work
on the Clyde. Having the meana, he
bought a powerful engine, Of Watts in.
vention. 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 Clermont. 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 disappoint-
ments. Fulton had powerful friends, and
obtained unjustly the credit of being the
inventor Of the steamboat. Fitch died in
disappointment and obscurity in Ken
lucky, by an overdose of opium Fulton
goes into the Hall of Statuary IN the capi-
tol. But history viii yet right this matter
and do justice to John Fitch. L Hartford
