rushed upon Bell. who had his little

INVENTORS HELPED.
Some OF the Well.KnOwn Instances
Wherein Two Heads Proved Deci.
dedly Better Than One.

From the Times-lIeraid.
When Nicolai Tesla stated i'm an In
terview that marriage impaired an m-
ventors genius while it enlarged the
faculties of artists, writer's and musi-
clans. he offered. as Il reason for the
assertion that the three latter classes
gain inspiration from Il woman's IN
tiuence while the inventors nature is
of such "a wild. passionate quality"
that in giving itself to either pursuit
1t necessarily rejected the other. and
with perhaps unconscious homage to
the strength of feminine power, he
feared the loss of the inventors fire.
Furthermore, he added, that not many
great inventions can be named which
are the work of married men.
While Ncolai TeslaS blood may
course through his veins with the pas
sionate intensity of his country, rem
dering impossible a division of ser
vice, in colder climates and among more
phlegmatc temperaments. marriage
has not hindered the elimination of
genius. Invention personitied was nec-

the common council giving truth to
their hopes.
The affair has been rather mixed up
hut it looks as if it was solved at last
and work will soon commence. The
Traction company are the principal Of
tenders in the case, but they have con-
s"ntcd To do their part. BY the con-
tract made with Parke & Co, the city
is obliged to assume payment of the
Traction company's part of the street.
The conditions on which the franchise
was granted making this necessary
The question now is whether the Trac-
'i"n company will make any returns TO

Of paving along their tracks and as
the company have decided to do so
nothing now remains but to have the
work done.
The Traction company could hardly
do otherwise than pay for the pave

the franchise being taken away and
many thousands ot dollars lost to the
company.

plishments. she attracted the ardent
admiration of Fulton. and this was re-
turned by an estimate Of his talent and
genius, amounting almost to enthils-
iasm. The epoch of their nuptials. the
spring of 1905, was that of Fulton's
greatest glory. Everything appeared
to concur in enhancing the advantages
of his position. Leaving out of view
all questions of romance, his bride was
young, lovely, highly educated. intel
ligent and wealthy. His long labors in
adapting the steam engine to the pur-
poses Of navigation had been followed
by complete success, and that very
success had opened to him, through
the exclusive grant of the navigation
Of the Hudson, the prospect OF vast
riches"
George Stephenson, the eminent rail-
way engineer, was married at the age OF
81 to Fanny Henderson, for which event
he earned his first guinea. While
brakeman for an engine at Black CAL
lerton he met his future wife, then a
servant in a neighboring farm house.
His wages were Is shillings week. but
the youth who learned to write at the
age Of 10 by studying nights after q
days eXhausting labor, was not the.
person to be daunted by difficulties. He
began to make and mend the shoes OF
his fellow workmen. and, after years
probation, during which he saved the
guinea. he married and settled happily
in u little cottage at Wilmington Quay.
Twelve years later he ran his own loco
motive on the Killingworth railroad.
While Sir Humphrey Davy's greatest
discovery was the discovery of Michael
Faraday," the latter's knowledge of the
naughty overbearing temperament OF
Lady Davy did not prevent him from
appreciating his master or getting mar
ried. when the time arrived. In 1921. at
the age Of go, he was welded to Sarah
Barnard. the daughter of an elder OF
the Sandemanian church in London. to
which faith he made public profession
after his marriage. which was the pre-
lude to many years of unchanging do
nestle felicity with no diminution OF
the inventive faculties Of his mnd.
James Watt. the inventor of the
steam engine. was twice married; in 1853
to his cousin. Miss Miller, and second
time shortly after his removal to Birm-
ingham. to Miss McGregor. of Glasgow.
His entire life was one series of me-
chanical improvements and inventions.
