RUmSEYS STEAMBOAT.
Records Which Show That 1t Antedated

Records Which Show That It AntedRted
FuIton's Product by Twcuty-twO Years.
The records Of Jefferson county, W.
Va. prove what Is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat in this conn
try. He was anticipated over - years
by james Rumsey of Charleston. Va,
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed in Frederick
county. Md, III l7Sj Ii was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called The CoCoctin Fur
mace, - owned by Johnson Brothers, and
located near the town Of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler. pumps,
pipes, etc. were built in Baltimore.
Part of the work WAS done az the old
Autietam Iron wmks Rumscy's boat
was so feet in lcu.jh, and il was pro-
PEELED bv IN engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center of the
vessel The water was drawn IN az the
low and forced ont at tEc stern through
a horizontal pipe. The entire weight Of
the machinery was G6j lHiuuds. and
the tonnage Jf the vessel WAS three tons.
The entire machinery. including the
boiler, etc. took up "a space Of very lit
tie over feet square.
The FIRST public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river ON March "a. 1856,
when the boat showed a speed # four
miles an hour up stream. The records Of
jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas john
son of Maryland We're among the pat
rOns of Rumsey. and that the experiment
was made III the interest Of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal

Tides and StormA.

When a tempest is approaching or
passing out on the ocean, the tides are
water had been driven in a vast wave
before the storm. The influence extends
to a great distance from the cyclonic
storm center, so that the possibility ex-
lists of foretelling the approach of dan
gerous hurricane by means of indications
furnished by tide gauges situated far
away from the place then occupied by
the whirling winds.
The fact that the tidal wave outstrips
the advancing storm shows how extreme
ly sensitive the surface of the sea is to
the changes of pressure brought TO bear
upon it by the never resting atmosphere.

Galbraith, q Hibernian ranchman of
New Mexico, should be credited with
giving it the most remarkable twist
from its dictionary pronunciation, said

Joe camped alongside us one night ON
our way to Camp Grant. As two of our

ran out from the under side of the
blanket up the sleeve and face of one of
the two men. The man S whiskers saved
his face from the needlelike feet, and he
brushed the reptile off TO the ground
without sustaining injury. The cent?
ped was killed, and the party gathered
round to look at it, among them Joe,

said wisely. It's Santa Fe They say

How "A Cape Elizabeth Man Produced =
Breed of Nonscratchers.
Speaking Of hens reminds me of a
worthy townsman Of ours, J. Fairfield
Tuttlc who had small patch of straw
berries 50 situated that only fence,
and poor one at that, divided them
from neighbor's henyard, and these
same hens bothered our friend very
much by getting through the fence and
scratching mp the strawberry plants.
Our friend tried many WAYS TO rid
himself Of them, but failed until one
day hc saw his neighbor in the act of
setting another hen.
Now, it 5 necessary for yOu to know
that the LENS above mentioned were Of
what is known as the Shanghai breed
and had very long legs. 1t occurred TO
our friend Tuttle that he saw way out
of the difficulty. So procuring half a
dozen bantam (short legs) eggs he stole
over during the night, took ont six Of
the eggs that We're under the hen and
replaced them with the six bantam.
What was the result? When the chicks
We're Matched, each one had one short
and one long leg, and when they would
stand ON the short leg and try to scratch
with the long one they would only sue
ceed in throwing themselves over.
When they would stand on the long leg,
the short one would not reach the
ground by several inches, and so in the
matter of scratching they We're not in it,
so to speak.-Cape Elizabeth Sentinel

SAYS IT'S ALL ROT.

So Declares Senator Vest About a Cur
rency Bill Passing the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Senator Vest
is not optimistic as to the chances of
financial leg islation by this congress.
Asked about the story published in
some of the morning papers that
compromise bill had been agreed
upon in the senate, he said: 1T is
all rot. I suppose you mean the stuff
about a financial measure to
be offered in the senate
by certain Democratic senators.
There is nothing in it. Furthermore,
in my opinion there is no posi- ility
of passing any financial bill in the
senate. We have no rules. and five
senators can prevent action on any
bill during the session. The only
hope for prompt and efficient action
was in the Democratic party, and we
failed at the outset of the session.
Instead of changing the senate rules
so as to provide for stopping debate
and then resolutely taking up the
tariff bills from the house, the Demo
cratic caucus of the senate deliberate
ly refused to do anything of the kind.
GAS matters are now in the senate
nothing will be done except by unan-
imous consent. If the yeas and nays
Gould be called on taking off the diff
ferential duties of one tenth and one
eighth on sugar, the majority would
be for the removal"

Pending the arrival of extradition

Smith at the workhouse and not let
him get out OF his cell. In defiance
of the order, a guard took him out to

prisoners in the yard he disappeared.

NEWINDUsTRY FOR KANS's
ElwoOd PETER Makes Some Suggestions OF
Beet Sugar Making.

ElwoOd PETER Makes Some Suggestions on
Beet Sugar Making.
TOPEKA, Jan. 8, 1895.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
A matter of greatest Importance to the
state of Kansas, which you failed to
mention last evening in the list of meas
ures to come up before the present legis-
lature, is some form of encouragement
for the sugar industry. The great posi-
bilities of this state for producing both
sorghum and beet sugar make it well
worth the while of the legislature to con-
slider some plan by which capital can be
induced to locate factories in Kansas
Beet sugar can be manufactured at a
profit provided that the farmers will raise
beets at a reasonable cost to the manu-
facturers, but in order to induce the az
riculturists to take hold of new crop
that they do not understand it
is necessary to pay exor-
bitant price for the beets. In
Nebraska and California farmers
receive So a ton for beets, and at this
rate there is a net profit of from $50 to
$50 per acre, according to the success of
the crop Experience has proven that
farmers will not take hold of beet crop
unless they are paid high price for the
beets. so if the legislature of this state
should offer bounty or extend financial
aid in any way to sugar manufacturers,
it would merely be SO much money ex-
pended in educating the farmers of the
state in new line, that can not help be :
ing of the utmost advantage to the whole
state. 1t is purely educational and any
one who will consider the subject
thoughtfully and fairly will find that the
education will be wor b great deal more
to the taxpayers of the state than it will
cost them.
Nebraska offered bounty to sugar
manufacturers and now there are two
beet sugar factories in the state. each of
which gives. directly or indirectly, sus-
tenance to about $500 people. At Nor
folk, Nebraska, beets are shipped in from
Chadron, 400 miles away. So it can be
seen that the farmers Immediately
around the factory are not the only ones
benefited.
Kansas has the best of soil for sugar
beets; has plenty of coal, limestone and
water. and all that is necessary is en-
enlargement from the legislature to
make this the greatest sugar state in the
union. ELwooD S. PETER.
