Soda as a Motive Power.

The use of soda for generating
motive power is increasing. Four
locomotives are now being built at the
Baldwin Locomotive w orks in Philadel-
phia, which are to be used in Mime
apolis, Mimi, where the use of steam
engines in the streets is forbidden. The
engines look like ordinary passenger
cars. Inside the boiler is placed the
soda, which, being dampened by steam
produces an intense heat. When the
soda is thoroughly saturated the action
ceases. The moisture is then driven
from the material and it is again ready
for use. These engines are the first of
their kind that have been built in this
country. They have about the same
power as those of the elevated roads,
and wilLreadily draw four light cars.
Soda engines are used i'll Berlin and
European cities successfully, and also
in the St. Gothard Tunnel under the
Alps, where steam engines cannot be
used, as the length of the tunnel
renders any system of ventilation i'm
practicable. The torpedo boat Peace
maker, which made its trial trip in the
North River recently, is run by using
soda.

EARLY History of Steam Power.

About 28O years B. c., Hero, of Alex
andria, formed toy which exhibited
some of the powers of steam and was
moved by its power.
A. D. $50 Anthiemius, an architect, ar
ranged several caldrOns of water, each
covered with a wide bottom of leather
tube which rose to narrow top, with
pipes extended to the rafters of the ad-
Joining building. A fire was kindled be-
meath the caldrons and the house was
shaken by the efforts of the steam as
cending the tubes. This is the first notice
of the power of steam recorded.
In 1913, June II, Blasco D. Garoy tried
a steamboat of 2O9 tons with tolerable
success, at Barcelona, Spain. It consisted
of a caldrnn of boiling water and NOV
able wheel on each side of the ship. 1t
was laid away as impracticable. A pres
ent, however, was made to Garoy.
In 1850 the first railroad was construct
ed at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The first idea of steam engine in
England was in the Marquis of Worces-
ter's Century of Inventions, A. d. 1868.
In ITO Newcomer made the first steam
engine in England.
In 171S patents were granted to Savery
for the first application of the steam en-
CINE.
In 1854 James Watt made the first per-
feet steam engine in England.
In 1876 Jonathan Hulls set forth the
idea of steam navigation.
In 1778 Thomas Paine first proposed
this application in America.
In 1871 Marquis JouffrOy constructed
one on the Saone.
In 1885 two Americans published work
on it.
In 1889 William Huntington made a
voyage III ooe on the Forth and Clyde
canal.
In 1902 this experiment was repeated.
In 1882 Ramsey propelled a boat by
steam to New York.
In 1888 John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
navigated a boat by steam on the Della
ware.
In 1892 Robert Fulton first began to
apply his attention to steam, and soon
after the Clermont, the first really sue
cessful steamer, was plying on the Hud-
son

He Called Me Whitaker"

Hero-worshipers have a better time of
1t than the heroes who have to submit to
their worship. The latter Gncluding all
distinguished men) are largely at the class
of admirers who are to obtuse to see any
violation of good manners or taste in
their pursuit of interviews and autographs.
William Warren tells a delicious story
about st, Louis man who went east last
summer and hunted up the poet Whittier.
He found the quiet old Quaker poet try
ing to hide from civilization in farm
house near Nahant. He had gone there
to escape just such bores as the St. Louis
man was.
At first he declined to see the visitor,
saying that he was not feeling strong, but
the Missouri man was SO persistent that
at last Whittier yielded, and he was ad-
mitted. He bounced upon the poet and
nearly shook his arm from the socket.
He declared that he adored the poets
works-In fact, he read nothing else.
He asked Whittier TO write his name
few hundred times on sheet of note
paper, that he might distribute the auto
graphs among his friends, and it was all
the poet could do to keep the impetuous
visitor from cutting the buttons from his
coat to carry away as mementos.
''And all the time,'' said Whittier pa
thet1cally as he told his adventure. she
called me Whitaker"

A Great Journalist.
ESIelline Bell.

A tall, richly dressed man, wearing a
watch charm as large as fiat-irOn, sat in
the office of an Estelline hotel. He had
the appearance of a man who owned the
whole earth and was looking for a pur-
chaser.
With a patronizing wave of his hand he
said:
eyes, gentlemen, the profession of
journalism is grand. 1t is the press of
to-day that is the lever which moves the
world. The newspaper is not only your
true educator morally and intellectually
but the dictator before which govern
ments bow. [ myself am Journalist,
and am proud of it,"
He paused and sank back in his chair.
