THE FIRST STEAM ENGINE.
II Worked We'll, But Il Was Only q Toy Of
The Times.

HERDS engine is described by Hero the
Younger Of Alexandria, and dated about 100
B. G., and here we find the first record of
the early history Of the steam engine.
In tie home OF Euclid, the great geOme-
tTician, and possible contemporary with that
talented engineer and mathematician Archi-
medes, Hero produced manuscript which
lie entitled "Spiritalia sen Pneumatlca."
The work is still extant and has been sew
eral times Unpublished. In it are described
The morning call., 1892-01-10

a number of interesting though primitive
forms of water and heat engines and
among the latter that shown in the cut. an
apparatus moved by the force Of steam.
This earliest OF steam engines consisted
of a globe suspended between trunnons.
through one of which steam enters through
pipes from the boiler below. The hollow
bent arms cause the vapor to issue In such
direction that the reaction produces ro-
tary movement of the globe, Just as the
rotation of reaction water-wheels Is pro-
duced by 0utflowing water
1t is quite uncertain whether this machine
was ever more than a toy, although IL has
been supposed by some authorities that it
was actually used by the Greek priests for
the purpose Of producing motion of some
apparatus in their temples.
1t seems sufficiently remarkable that.
while the power of steam had been. durinG
all the many centuries that man has existed
upon the globe. SO universally displayed in
so many of the phenomena of natural
change, mankind lived almost up IN the
Christian era without making it useful in
giving motion even to a toy; but it must ex-
cite still greater surprise that, from tbe time
OF Hero, we meet with no good evidence on
its application TO any practical use for many
hundreds OF years. Professor r. III. Thurs

Bill Eys Doesn't Want to Kick Man When Re

[coprrlght. 1spa, By Edg.r W. Nye.l

tCopyrlght, lSpS, oy Edgar w. NAe'I
1t is now 400 years since a solitary
horseman might have been seen riding
between his own home and the reigning
works of King Ferdinand, wrapped in
thought. Four hundred years have sped
away and mighty nation, proud ana
arrogant, has arisen TO do honor to that
heroism and the courageous blunder
which added new world TO civiliza-
ton. i.
Reading carefully the biography OF
Columbus we find that no one In her age
or generation could have been better
fitted for the mighty job OF opening up
and booming a western world imam
Christopher Columbus, for he Is said to
have been one Of the brightest young
liars of his time. Columbus took pre-
variacation In its infancy, 1t is said, and
put it on its feet and made an industry
of it. she had talent Of deceit, says
his biographer, 'and sometimes boosted
of 1t, or at least counted it a merit"
And this is the gentleman whose name
we give to the worlds great exposition
400 years after he found US while look
ing for some one else! l hate to seem
pessimistic or speak lightly OF q great
man. l believe that should speak OF
Columbus with respect, as would have
wished him to refer TO me II our places
had been reversed; but oh, how sad II Is
to know that the land OF Washington
George Washington, the man who would
not lie even about his circulation-that
such land, I say, should have been dis
covered by liar who represented the
pauper labor OF Europe! This, l say,
pains and grieves me.
The biographer of Columbus also pro-
duces good evidence to show that Chris
was not by a long, long distance the
pioneer in the theory OF the earth's
sphericity. 1t was an idea taught oy
the Pythagoreans in the Sixth century
before Christ, which was, as the ready
mathematician will see at once, about
1000 years before Christopher Columbus
got his lunch put up for his great jour
ney west. Two hundred years before
Christ, Crates is said to have construct
ed a globe map over ten feet In diameter
and offered it as premium with his pa
per, so that even in the time OF our
Savior the sphericity Of the earth was
not new thing. Religious matters OF
course engrossed the attention at that
time so much that geography was yet In
its infancy, but it was common talk In
Jerusalem, especially on the west side,
that the earth was round like ball and
composed Of land and water.
Toscanelli had much to do with firing
I'D Columbus to make the voyage OF dis
covery. We hear very little OF Tosca-
neli, and yet he taught Columbus that
the earth was round like ball and Hat
tened at the poles. Toscanelii had hg-
ured out by means of logarithms and
piece OF chalk that the circumference OF
