FIRST STEAM WAR VESSEL.
United States Navy Led the Way in Bring
ing the Worlds Fighting Craft Up
to Its Present Standard.

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-An event of
no little Importance in connection with
the National Export Exposition was
the celebration last week of the seven
ty-fifth anniversary Of the Franklin In
stitute, which had a part in the sue
cessful launching of the exposition.
Prominent among the speakers at the
Franklin Institutes anniversary ex-
ercises was Rear Admiral George W.
Melville. engineer-in-chief of the Uni
ted States navy. During the course of
his remarks Rear Admiral Melville
brought out the following important
historical fact:
at will interest you all very much,
I am sure. TO know that the first steam
war vessel in the world was built for
our navy and was designed by Robert
Fulton, who first made steam nayiga-
tion at all practicable, and the con-
structiOn of this vessel antedated the
founding of the Franklin Institute only
about ten years. This first vessel was
called the "Demologos," or Fulton
the First" and while of what would
now be considered very small dimen-
sions, was, nevertheless. a wonder Of
the period She was 156 feet long, sc
feet beam. and 20 feet deep. measuring
2.475 tons. having a single water
wheel in central well. and capable
of steaming about six knots. The bat
terry comprised 20 guns of the largest
size at that date. number of them
having been taken from a captured
British vessel. The hull, of course.
was of wood and the boilers were OF
copper. She was not completed until
Just after the termination Of the war
of 1912. so that she never saw any
active service. and was blown up by
an explosion of her magazine in 1929" +"

COUNTY FAIRS coNTRAsrsp.
Magnitude Of the Exposition Farm In
plement Show as Compared With
Municipal Agricultural As
sociation EXHIBITS


Philadelphia. Oct. 10-Farmers and
the country people generally are be-
ginning to appreciate the magnitude
and interesting character Of the ex-
hibits of vehicles and farming imple-
ments at the National Export Expo
sition
The greatest county fair in the Uni
ted States is but a small exhibition in
its display of things of utility and
comfort of the farmer compared with
the comprehensive show made in the
implement building at the exposition.
1t is the best part Of a national agri-
cultural fair. It is alluring. and the
rural visitor finds more profit and as
much amusement In inspecting It as
in any other feature OF exposition en-
terprise
In the agricultural departments the
novel and useful appliances which
have been gathered form a never ceas-
ing source of interest. Naturally those
who make farming their pursuit find
instructive information here. At all
times of the day, and especially on
those days set aside for special ex-
cursions from other towns, large
crowds wend their way among the fine
displays which show the improvements
that have been made within recent
years in the agricultural implement
line.
Il do not want to belittle the import
ance Of making pleasure one Of the
main objects while at the exposition" I"
said prosperous looking individual,
who with his family, was seen TO pay
especial attention to a new kind OF
plow the other day, "but | consider
this investigation part of my pleasure
and that of my family. We are farm
ers from New Jersey. Therefore,
farming il what interests us.
81 can assure you, however. that the
Esplanade is getting our attention as
well. We like to see good horses, and
when a horse can act like a human
being then It means something Jim
Key certainly is a wonder"
The season of the year has arrived
when the tillers OF the soil have some
time for themselves aside from their
daily labors. The influx of ruralites
which has set in speaks well for the
interest which the agricultural ele-
ment throughout the country is evine-
ing in the great show.

ATBARA HEROES AT EXPOSITION
The Men Who Built the Great Bridge in
the Soudan Tell an Interesting Story.

AAC nAch Wuv DuAAl tue Olcdl bilukc ~
the Soudan Tell an Interesting Story.
Philadelphia. Oct. 1O.-The seven
men who built the famous Atbara
bridge in the Soudan visited the Ma
tional Export exposition Immediately
upon their arrival home after their
great achievement.
The English government wanted
steel bridge for their military road In
Egypt, and they wanted II built in a
hurry. No English or European con-
struetors could be found with capacity
and quickness enough to put this
bridge up in time American manu-
facturers of bridges. the Pencoyd Iron
company, contracted Feb. 6 to make
this bridge in the time required. In
month and a day the bridge was COM
pleted in all of it's details at Pencoyd,
in Montgomery county. It was ship
ped to the Soudan on March 21. The
men left Philadelphia on April 20 and
arrived at the point OF construction the
last Of May Two months after the
time of arrival they turned the COM
pleted structure over to the English
government, an almost unprecedented
piece of engineering enterprise.
This great work was done by these
seven Philadelphia workmen, who em-
ployed as labor convicts and Egyptian
soldiers. Superintendent Wennas, who
supervised the work, says Of these con-
victs: "They are the most abject and
cowed specimens of humanity to be
imagined. Physically they are almost
perfect, some of them giants in pro-
portion and of immense strength. But
they were lacking absolutely in in
telligence. Each could do but one
particular thing. If one of them
was put to lifting a bar Of iron or a
piece of structural steel on to a crane
he could not be depended upon to do
anything more than that one act. 1t,
therefore, often required from three to
twelve men to do the work which one
intelligent American would do ia half
the time.
"The heat was intense, being very
often 130 degrees I'm the shade. We
did not work from II o'clock to 3,
starting at and stopping at 6. The
sand storms were curious experiences.
often enveloping us and all the work
at the bridge in a cloud of dust which
filled our eyes and ears and inter
fered in a very serious way with every
thing for hours"

asked f. NJ Walton. as he entered
Jim Keys palace. "He can spell your
name" replied the horses caretaker.
'If he can. said Mr.. Walton, Il will
give him the best blanket in town" F"
Upon the name being announced to
the horse, Jim promptly picked out the
letters WALTON. The next day
A. r. Rogers, Jim's owner, received the
following letter and the blanket:
Mr.. Rogors-Dear Sir: take great
pleasure in presenting to one of the
most knowing horses in the world a
