THE FIRST TUBULAR BOILER.
It Was Patented by Stevens and Is Now
in the National Museum,

in the National Museum.
There is no place in this country where
one can get SC good an idea of all kinds OF
boats as can he obtained in the National
museum. Here one sees boats of bark.
boats made out Of the skins of animals, with
bone and bamboo ribs; dugouts, smooth
bottom, clinker built, fiat, sharp and per-
fectly round boats that resemble tub.
The highly decorated flat bottomed Mis-
sissippi steamboat can be seen full of
fancy gingerbread work, with saloons and
staterooms piled above each other, looking
like floating house and suggestive of
Life on the Mississippi" as Mark Twain
and others saw it.
In strong contrast to the arklike Missis-
sippian are the full rugged and polished
ocean ships, the yachts and beautiful mod
els of warships and others. These claim
the attention of thousands of visitors; but
there is more real interest shown in a small
corner where a bust Of Robert Fulton looks
down upon things which taxed the inven-
tive genius of men who inaugurated the
reign of steam. Here, with coat of black
paint upon it to check the tooth of time,
which has gnawed it almost through, is a
tubular boiler. This boiler was patented
by John Stevens in the United States in
1903 and in England in 1905.
In his English patent specification Mr.
Stevens-beginning with, Whereas, His
most gracious majesty, King George the
Third, by his letters patent bearing date at
Westminster the thirty-frst day of May,
in the forty-ffth year of his reign"-says,
farther on, "In the boiler am about to de-
scribe 1 apprehend the improvement is car
ried to the utmost extent of which the
principle is capable"
In describing, he continues: Suppose a
plate of brass of one foot square, in which
a number of holes are perforated, into each
of which holes is fixed one end of a copper
tube of about an inch diameter and two
feet long, and the other end of this tube
inserted in like manner into a similar piece
of brass, the tubes, to insure their tight
ness, to be cast in the plates. These plates
are to be inclosed at each end of the pipes
by strong cap of cast iron or brass, SO as
to leave a space of an inch or two between
the plates or ends of the pipes and the cast
iron cap at each end; the caps at each end
are to be fastened by screw bolts passing
through them into the plates. The neces-
sary supply of water is to be injected by
means of forcing pump into the cap at
one end, and through a tube inserted into
the cap at the other end the steam is to
be conveyed to the cylinder of the steam
engine; the whole is then to be encircled
by brickwork or masonry in the usual
manner, horizontally or perpendicularly."
The first patents in America were to
Reade, Fitch, Rumsey and Stevens, in Au-
gust, 1891 Reade's was for a portable fur
mace tubular boiler; Fitch's was for driving

forcing it out at the stern. The principle
of Rumsey's and Stevens patents was
much the same as Fitch .-Mechanica

The Ratt1esnake as National Emblem.
After the rattlesnake had been adopted
as an emblem and had appeared on the
flags of several of the colonies, Benjamin
Franklin defended the device on the
grounds that the rattlesnake is found only
in America; that all serpents' emblems
were considered by the ancients to be sym
bols of wisdom; that his bright, lidless
eyes signify vigilance; that he never at
tacks without first giving fair warning of
his presence; that his rattles, while dis
tinct, are SO firmly Joined that they cannot
be separated without being ruined forever,
and that as he grows older the rattles in
crease in number, as it was to be hoped
the colonies would.
Indeed, this idea was made use Of in a
flag device which represented rattlesnake
with nine joints, each joint lettered with
red silk The head was marked IN. E. !"
(New England); the remaining sections
IN. "" IN. J." "Pa. !" 3"Md.," "Va.,"
IN. c." rs. c." and "Ga." This curious
standard was discarded for the one made
by Mrs. Ross in Philadelphia in 1777, flag
similar to the United States flag of today,
only with fewer stars.-St. Louis Republic.

CONSIDERATION.

Though Fate my own name had decreed
Imperishable, high enrolled,
The human heart is one indeed.
My own hearts throbbing life hath told;
And while that heart beats free and bold.
To thee, o sorrowing world, I'll live,
Leaving the laurel leaf and gold!
All, all is thine have to give!
Though Love with measureless rich need
OF life and warmth my life Unfold,
Could forget thy bitter need,
Sad world, whose unkissed lips are cold,
Poor world, like unkinged Lear of old,
Can Love thy shameful state retrieve,
Thy daughters heart shall naught with
hOld!-
All, all is thine have to give!

The Trees of Paris.

Paris contains more trees than any city
in the world, which is the reason why it's
streets and avenues are so beautiful.
These trees are principally of three kinds
the chestnut and acacias, such as line
the Champs Elysees, and the lime trees,
which grow in such abundance in the Bots
de Boulogne and on certain of the outer
boulevards.-New York Herald.

Spurious works Of Art Began Early.

That there were sham pictures of Apelles
and Protogenes, spurious marbles of Phid-
las or Lysippus, and false gems Of Pyrgo-
teles in old Greek times is more than prob
able. It is certain, indeed, that an infinite
number of copies and limitations Of the
works Of these immortals, on which, never
theless, their names were shamelessly
painted or craven, as the case might be,
abounded in antiquity, and are now often
enough unearthed. Every evidence goes
to show, in short, that art frauds were as
rife and universal In the classic ages of
Greece and Rome as in our own.-Nine-

TWO QUAKER CLUBS.

The Eastern League to Put in a
Nine.
PHILADELPHIA March SIN all like
lihOod there will be two clubs In Phila-
delphia the coming season, and both
will play on the ground of the Phila-
delphia league club and under the
national agreement. Some time ago
some Philadelphia capitalists bought
the original Athletic charter at judg-
ment sale, and Immediately proceeded
to perfect an organization. The new
organization received its legal papers
today, and has been capitalized at $50.
600. The new club will enter the East
ern league, which will organize at
Rochester tomorrow.
Col. John |. Rogers, Of the Pbiladel-
phia league club, told a reporter tonight
that he favored the new club provided
that it would bind itself to do nothing,
either now or in the future, that would
prove antagonistic the National agree
ment clubs. AS guarantee
of good faith the new club
will deposit with the Philadelphia club
majority Of its stock as guarantee OF
its willingness to live up TO any eondl-
tions that the local league officials may
stipulate.
G. d. White, the moving spirit of the
Eastern association, believes that the
successful establishment of his Or
ganization is in great part depend
emu upon the admission of Phila-
delphia into the circuit. and as a
consequence he has used his best EN-
deavOrs to win around the local league
people. Mr.. White has been given full
authority to act for the proposed new
club at tomorrow'S meeting at Roches-
ter. The new club has ample financial
backing and an excellent field from
which to draw support.

"March April May"

The appearance of this familiar head
line Immediately suggests to everybody
the use Of that popular medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparllla, with which it is insepara-
bly, connected by many years OF use in
advertising.
There is no question but that at this
season nearly everybody needs to take
a reliable blood purifier to cleanse the
system of impurities which have ac-
cumulated during the winter, aud the
popularity which Hoods SarSaparilla
has gained as "SDring medicine Is
simply wonderful. Druggists say the
sale of this remedyis larger than that of
any other in their stores, and in many
cases exceeds the sale of all other sarsa-
pariIlas and blood purifiers combined.
1t is pertinent to inquire the reason
for this great business which has grown
up so rapidly as to cause amazement
throughout the retail and wholesale
drug trade. Followed down to rock
bottom, the fact seems TO be that the
success of Hoods Sarsaparllla rests
upon the basis of absolute merit. The
medicine has proven so generelly sue
cesstul for those complaints and dis
eases for which it is advertised that it
has won its way to the front among
medicines. OF course liberal advertiS
ing has helped greatly, but many peO-
pie have learned to their sorrow that
the most lavish expenditure in adver-
Using avaIIs nothing if not backed up
by merit in the goods.
Thousands of our readers will take
Hoods SarSaparilla this season.; and to
those who have never tried it, we say
take Hoods Sarsaparilla for spring
medicine"

returned. Four members in the late
MERCER government were defeated, Mr..
MERCER himself was reelected by $50
m ajority. Seventy-three members con-
sstitute full house in the Quebec
legislature. Mr.. MERCER had major
ity in the old legislature of twenty
eight. Omittlng the Independents,
MI. De Boucherville's majority in the
new house will be thirty-eight. The
battle has been waged fiercely on both
sides, each party straining every
effort to effect victory. The
clergy, usually prominent fac
tor in Quebec politics, maintained
almost a neutral position in this cam
paign, Mr.. Mercier fought desperately,
appealing to his followers to rebuke
Lieut.. Gov. Anglers and crush the
usurpers who had succeeded him in
the administration of the province.
His appeal was, however. in vain
and his yarty was hopelessly beaten.
1t was Waterloo. Mercier saved him
self from defeat. but his lieutenants.
the members of his late cabinet, were
almost annihilated. 1t is now nearly
certain that Mercier will be forced
to retire from the leadership of
the Quebec Liberal party, in
had already been started, and give way
to some one better calculated to restore
harmony. Summed up briefly. the re-
suit of the election is protest against
the corruption and scandals that marked
the Mercier administration and de-
maEd for cleaner government.

THAYER GONE DAFT.
The Old Man Prevailed on to
Fight Further.

IA
LINCOLN, Neb., March S.-There is a
rumor afloat here that everything has
been arranged to reopen the Boyd
Thayer fight. Thayer never surren-
dered the office voluntarily, as he has
so strongly affirmed, but took
the course that he did only upon the
earnest solicitation Of his friends.
While his attorney, John l.. Webster,
has repeated that he never advised
Thayer as to what course he should pur-
sue, still, he told one of Mr.. Boyd'S old
appointees that they had him to thank
that they got back into office thirty
days sooner than they possiblyscould
had matters been allowed to take their
natural course.
While the greater part Of the Repub-
lcan leaders have been in favor OF the
contest and were glad that Thayer at
last submitted to reason and Surren-
dered, still, there has been ring of
political hotheads and barnacleS that
have continued to howl that Thayer
made his only mistake when he turned
over the office. After Thayer left for
Texas, certain gentlemen wrote him
asking to be allowed to continue the
fight in his name. 1t is said that he
refused. Since his return they have
been after him again, and have pre-
vailed upon him to continue the
the contest. A prominent Repube
lican at Lincoln approached one of the
officers this morning and asked-nlm TO
tell Gov. Boyd that everything had
been arranged for a reopening of the
case when the mandate arrives. The
papers have been drawn up and signed.

MANUFACTURING SITES.

We have for sale a tract of
about 18 acres of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, which is perhaps the
best site for factories in either
city. 1t has a spur track run
ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one OF the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
trict. accessible to good railroad
trackage, large enough to accom-
modate large manufacturing con-
Germ, and is therefore very yalua-
BILE. The Midway District, trav-
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling up, and a
few years will see property there
quadrupIed in value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center OF population of our
dual city. and the owners OF land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.

Summer was bright with it's sunshine and

Autumn was rich with its bright, golden

Blest winter time with its whiteness and

Pure thoughts, white thoughts, come with
the snow time;
Rest time, memory time, that is the best
Childhood was sweet with its innocent glad
ness;
Girlhood was bright with its beauty and
song;
Womanhood rich with it's treasure Of loving,
Rich with loves labor with heart brave
and strong.
Age holds them all in its memories golden;
Beautiful age. with its wniteness and rest,
Peacefully waiting eternity's dawning;
Rest-time, memory time. that is the best.

DEMOCRATS EXCITED.
Republicans Would Annul Big
Victory. ~

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., March S.-The
Democrats carried Burlington county
today by a large majority, but it looks
now as though the Republican candi-
dates may get the offices. The en-
tire county is in state of excitement
Under the state law, it is claimed, not a
single ballot was cast for Democratic
nominee. The ballots were not printed
according to law. The trouble seems to
have arisen through misunderstand-
ing. When the law was passed three
wears ago, it was so framed that
il did not apply to township
elections. By the present legislature,
the law was so amended that 1t applied
to every election in the state, whether
general, county, or local. Lit Will now
deyolve upon the county boards OF cleo
ton to pass upon the legality of the bal
lots. No matter what they may decide,
the case will be carried to the courts
and the constitutionality of the Wertz
law, which has been in dispute, but
never before tested, will be passed
upon.
CAMDEN, N. j., March s.-The Re-
pubicans made clean sweep at the
municipal election held here today,
electing the mayor and twenty-elght
members of the common council. There
is not likely to be a single Democrat in
the board. ~,
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., March S.-The
Democrats in today's election carried
the city and elected William Wright,
former postmaster, mayor; William
Riddle, assessor, and Michael Devine,
collector of taxes. The Democrats will
have a majority in the common council.
The Democrats have carried nearly all
townships in Atlantic county. This
city goes Republican.
ELIZABETH, n. j., March S.-With
the exception of Elizabeth, Railway and
Plainfield, elections for freeholders were
held throughout Union county today
The freeholders of the aboye-named
places are holdovers.
From late returns it appears if Rah-
way goes Democratic, as is most likely.
this will give the Democrats control of
the next board and the officers by two
majority. Should they lose Union the
board will be tie.

CARRoLL's CAJoLERY.
Fitz's Trainer and Manager in for
Big Money.


NEW ORLEANS, March 8.-The news
eabled from London last night that Ted
Plitchard was willing to fight Fitzsim-
mons in America in ten weeks
caused much interest among sport
ing men and the general public
here. The negotiations for a match be-
tween Sullivan and Mitchell may inter
fere somewhat with fight between
Pritchard and Fitzsimmons; but, if the
big match is not made, the middle
weights will surely meet next fall, if not
sooner. Jimmy Carroll, speaking for
Fitzsimmons, said today: bob is ready
to meet Prtchard at any time. He will
talk business and make match when
ever he is ready; but it is my judgment
that it would be profitable to
wait until next Mardi Gras. The Sulll-
van Mitchell fight will take place in the
fall, and it would not do to have an
other fight so soon upon its heels. The
objection to fight in ten weeks is the
warm weather, when the city is dull.
If match is made for next year, the
Olympic club will enlarge its arena,
and there will be room for $1,000 people.
More than that number will want to see
the fight. But we are ready to talk fight
with Pritchard at any time, as FitZ
wants TO meet the Englishman. He
won't offer any serious objection as to
the time for the match"
