METEOR STORIES.
Ingenious Fabricators Who Spring Them
 Upon the Public

| pom the Public.
 Especial CorreSpOndence.l
 ST. LOUIS, March Il.-Evsr sinCe the luxuriant imagination of Joseph Mulhat- ton, drummer, Sunday school teacher and all round inventor of big stories, was first turned loose the public has been rather chary about accepting as true any story of unusually largo meteoritcs, for ono of JOseph's most successful lies was about a mammoth meteor that fell somewhere in Texas, covering acres of ground, sinking into tho earth for hundreds of feet and still rising from tho surface 50 feet or more. For long time after its fall, ac- cording to tho ingenious fabricator, the enormous mass was at a white heat, of such intensity as not only to prevent would hc examiners from going nCar tO it, but also from distinguishing it's outlines with tho eye. It was several weeks after the publica- tion bcfore the newspapers that bit-and what one did nOt!-realiZed that the story was one of Affiliations, though it would seem that the least analysis of its alleged facts would have put every nan who re- ceived it on his guard
 Though that story was not MulhattOn' $ first, it was ono of his most elaborate ones and went a long Way to establish his rCpu- tation as perhaps tho ablost liar in Amer ica. The poor fellow Is dead now, un- derstand, but his name remains as the most fitting designation of a particularly ingenious but fOundationless story about somc natural phenomenon published in tho newspapers
 Mulhattun's field is just now vacant the most reccnt meteor story, coming from Reno, New, lacking his earmarks and pos sibly being a true bill. IL may lre n trifle overirawn, however, for, according to the telegraphed report, tho explosion of the rapidly moving body was so severe as to shake the buildings in the town. vet the nOiSo was not heard fer full two minutes after the meteor had disappeared Per hapS the writer of the dispatch had forgot ten that sound travels at the rate of a little over l,OOo feet second, and therefore that at tho mOmcns of explosion tho meteor must have been more than 20 miles from Reno, a long distance indeed for the Ciet- onation to physically affect the buildings in the place J. c.

l are practically impervious to the flercest | storm or the anGriest sea. Tho awful wrcck of the Elbe does not lessen the strength of this statement
 The possibility of accident from fog or | otherwise does not tako from the value of the demonstration of practical unsink. l ableness given by the Teutonic and Gas | cosne. Travel by tho great floating pal ! aces Of today Is quite as safe and almost as speedy as in the palace cars of our rail roads.
 But there arc few persons who look at those ocean giants of steel and iron and wood who know that a small American vessel, the Savannah, flying the American flag and manned by an American crew, was the pioneer of ocean steam navigation and demonstrated to tho world the possi- bility of. arriving at such perfection in it. or that the first voyage of a steamship across tho Atlantic was made 76 years ago by the Savannah, an American built ves- seL
 First Attempts.
 Previous to tho voyage of the Savannah many vessels had been propelled by steam, but only upon inland and coast waters Several experiments were tried by John Stevens, Fulton and others in 1909, 1908 and 1894, but 1t was not until lSO7 that Fulton, with the Clcrmont and Stevens, with tho PhEnix, demonstrated on the Hudson that tho steam engine could be practically and economically applied to navigation. Five years afterward the first steamboat was launched on the Clyde, in England. Other countries quickly adopt. ed the now mode of marine propulsion, and in 1Sl4 the congreSs of tho United States passed a law authorizing tho prcsi- dent to havo constructed ''onc or moro steam floating batteries for the dcfense of tho waters of the United States" Seven months aftcrward, on Oct. Is, 1874, the first steam wArship was launched at Browns shipyard in New York city and was called the Fulton, as n compliment to the great designer.
 Tho Savannah was full rigged ship of $50 tons burden ani was built by Francis FrIckctt, at CurlCar's Hook, New York. She was launched an Aug 22, ISIS, and was intended tu bc uSCd as a sailing packet between New York and Havre. " But she was destined to have a far moro romarkable carCcr. Beforo sho was launched she attracted tho attention of Captain Mos,'s Rogers, ''whu had been as- sociatcd with Fulton and Stevens in com manding several of the early steambOats, " and he induced Mcssrs Scarborough X 1SaacS, u wealthy shipping firm of this city, to purchase her and fit her with en- zines, with a view of giving to this city the credit of being the first to inaugurate transatlantic steamship line" Tho ves- sol was then furnished with ono inclined, direct acting, low pressure engine of 90 horse power. Those of the Campania, Lu- cania and other ocean steamships exceed go, 900 horsepower. She was to be driven with paddle side wheels, and these paddles deserve particular notice. They consisted of eight radial arms, held in place by one lange, and were arranged to close togeth- CT like fan. Each arm of the paddle was so adjusted that 1t could be detached from tho shaft and taken on deck when storm or other circumstance rcquired it" IL is probably the only example of steam

were ngnTeu py tne schooner Contract and Captain Livingston of that vessel said: Sighted on tho 29th of May, latitude 2T:S0, longitude 70. a vessel ahead to east ward, from which volumes of smoke were issuing. Judging 1t to be vessel on fire. stood for her in order to afford relief, but found she went faster with fire and smoke than we possibly could with all sail set. {" But a far moro amusing incident of the same nature occurred when the Savannah arrived off the south coast of Ireland. She was sighted from the signal station at Cape Clear and at once reported as a ship on fire But shall better describe this scene in the words of Sailing Master Stevens Rogers. He says: "The admiral. who lay in tho cove of Cork (now Queens town), dispatched one of the kings cut ters to our relief, But great was their wonder at their inability, with all sail in a fast vessel, to come up with a ship under bare poles. After several shots were fired from tho cuttor the engine was stopped, and the surprise of her crew at the mis- take they had made as well as their ourios- ity to see tho singular Yankee craft can easily Do imagined"
 A Letter of CongratuIatiOn.
 On approaching Liverpool the vessels, piers and roofs of houses were thronScd with people who cheered tho adventurous craft, and several naval officers. noble men and merchants from London came down to visit her.
 MT. Richard Rush was at this time United States minister at London, and he sent the following communication to Hon. John Quincy Adams, secretary of state, Washington:
 LONDON, July 8, lsls.
 SIR-on the Soth Of last month arrived at Liverpool from the United States the steamer Savannah, Captain Rogers, being the first Nss- sel of this description that has ever crr,ss,a tho seas and having excited equal admiration and aStonishmCnt as she entered the port un- der the power of her steam. She is a fine shin Of SsO tons burden and exhibits in her con. struction no less than she has done in her nay isation across the Atlantic signal triunph of American enterprise and skill upon tho ocean.
 From Liverpool she steamed and sailed for St. Petersburg via Stockholm, at both of which places she excited tho live Hest interest and astonishment and was visited by royal personagcS and various noblemen. Lord LynCdOck, an English nohlcman, accompanied Captain Rogers from Stockholm to St. Petersburg, and so pleased was he with tho working of the Savannah that he said: II blame no man born in the United States for being proud oI ms country. Nere q young man I'd go thero myself"
 In lSSO, after her return to Savannah, her engine was removed. She ran be- tween that port and New York as a sail ing packet for two years, and then, a few weeks after the death of her old command CT, she ran ashorc on Long Island and went to pieces US22). Such was the life and end of tho vessel that demonstrated to the world tho possibilities of steam in ocean navigation and paved tho way for science and enterprise to create such grCat ships as thOso which now cross the Atlan- tio and rCndCr ocean travel safc and speedy as an ordinary railway train.

II. o. Austin Has Read the Bible Six
Times and the Result.
H. o. Austin. a Topeka man who re-
sides at 703 East Eighth street came to the
STATE JOURNAL office this morning and
announced that he has read the Bible
through six times since the first of Janu-
AIRY, 1895, and has discovered ten points
in theotory advocated by protestant
preachers which are not authorized in
the Bible.
He says the Bible does not teach that
the righteous will go to heaven at death
or any other place. That it does not
teach that the wicked will be tormented
throughout the endless ages of eternity
in hell or any other place. That there
is in man an immortal soul or
spirit to survive the death
of the body. That the dead are
conscious between death and tie resur-
rection. That there is d Trinity in the
God head. That there will be a universal
resurrection of the dead. That the devil
is fallen angel-and was cast out of
heaven. That sprinklng is baptism.
That true immersion is the apostles mode
of baptism. That religion can be OBJ
tanned at the mourner's bench.
