The Invensioa of the steamboa
Chronicle

The Inventfon OF the Steamboat.
Robert Fulton's Clermont. the first
steamboat Of any practical value, was
launched into the East river. 1t is not
known who first conceived the idea OF
propelling boats by steam; probably
Solomon de Caus, In 1916. Many per-
sons experimental with steam propul-
sion between 1863, when William Hen
~ Of Pennsylvania placed small boat
on the Conestoga river, and 1907. when
the Clermont made its trip to Albany.
Among them were the Marquis de
Jonffroy. James Rumsey and John
FITCH. These men produced models
which were worthy of the name steam
boat, bat the Clermont was the first
steam vessel produced which actually
carried passengers and freight, and Rob.
ert Fulton is fairly entitled to the cred
1t OF inventing the steamboat.

THE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW

ing Too Self Confident.
''The trouble with you fellows is
you want things, but you know moth
ing~ about 'em. You come over here
and carry home a lot of truck that a
European collector wouldn't give
house room, and when you see really
good thing you don't know it. or you
won't pay a price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see, you don't
know; that's what's the matter: how
can you? Nobody In America wanted
antiques before the Centennial. If
you'd lived here twenty years, like me,
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting isn't thing Of money,
but knowing"
We had been walking in Venice
down narrow calle while the collect
or was speaking. Look at that old
brass SCALE" he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged.
There's gem, not very old, but Of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in a New York
dealers, all cleaned up, you'd give up
good deal for it; but you'd "a passed
it by dozen times if 1 hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there? / never pass thing like that.
You can never tell what you may pick
up-lf you only know"
We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the swiftness of hawk darting
on Its prey, and swooped upon little
jewel box.
"Carnelian! Russian, should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not Of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing. If 1t was cleaned up. IT'S mine,
anyway" To the keeper OF the stall:
"Quanto?"
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him
self and came down from the church
steps, where he had been sleeping.
Does the signore want the pretty
tri11e? The signore knows its value
better than l, and he'll be generous?"
'Tll give you lira for it. 1t isn't
worth it, but one mustn't be hard with
the poor"
II had hoped should get fiveg'
'Well, I'll make it two"
''It is the signore's.'
''There, you see!' exultingly chuckled
the collector. That's what it is to
know. An exquisite carnelian Russian
jewel casket for 40 cents! You'd never
have thought of looking among a lot
of rusty old iron for a thing like that,
would you?"
While speaking he held the box with
miser's clutch.
May | see it, please%
He reluctantly handed it to me rs
though fearing might make a sud-
den dash down the Gale with his treas

''Pheww said I contemptuously,
handing the box back to him. "Its not

Mrs. j. H. Rinehart took charge of
the meeting. The theme for study
was Act Ill. of king Lear" The

power to represent palpitating life
was first discovered. She told of his
marriage and said that the poise.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The leading event in the Juvenile
world during the past week was the
party given Friday evening between
the hours of Z and 10 by Miss Esther
Bouton. Vases of fragrant red carna-
tons were used artistically about the
rooms, adding much to the beautiful
picture made by the groups of merry
girls that were hidden to the happy
affair. The game of progressive ad-
vertisements" furnished the amuse-
ment, and it possessed just enough of
the spirit of rivalry to make it ex-
%ceedingly interesting. The honors of
the game were carried off by Miss
Amy Bennighoff.
At 9 O'Clock lunch cloths were plac-
ed on the tables and luncheon was
served by Mrs. Bouton assisted by
Mrs. N. G. Carwile.
After refreshments an impromptu
musical programme was rendered, af-
ter which good night was said to the
young hostess, each guest carrying
away the happiest ~recollections of
this most delightful evening.

HINES
A sub-Prefect Proposes a Number of
Industrial Reforms,

Outside the Great Wall. there is
evidently a most intelligent sub-per-
rect. He has put out a capital procla-
nation with a view to improve the
breed of horses in the grass country.
and otherwise make the natural pro-
ducts OF that part more profitable than
at present. He has evidently heard
that the horse is in great demand for
war purposes abroad, and sees no
reason why China, with it's ranches.
u not become a most important
source of supply for cavalry. The
breed of Chinese ponies must, how
ever. first be greatly improved to
reach the foreign standard. Accord
ingly he tells his people how this
may be done, and offers rewards to
successful breeders.
In the second place he exhorts them
to make Russia leather and all
sorts of bone articles. In the third
place, he thinks they should learn
how to preserve meat and milk in tins
so as to send it long distances, as the.
foreigners do. In the fourth place, he
exhorts them to learn how to make
wool and camels' hair into cloth, as
foreigners do, who first buy our raw
stuff, manufacture it, and then resell
the finished articles to us. In the
fifth place, he exhorts them to open
mines and cease their silly talk that
the opening of mines spoils the feng-
shut. Instead of bringing evil, mines
bring prosperity. Look at Tank-ku.
That was originally only a piece of
waste land. They opened mines and
now there is a fourishing city with

WANT SCOTS SCALP.
Helena Sportsmen Go Cunning for
Game Warden,

The Helena division of the Montana
Fish and Game Protective association
is after Game Warden SCOTS scalp,
and is after it good and hard.
The division held a meeting last
Wednesday night and the principal
business seems to have been the regis
tering and hearing of complaints
against Scott. BY way of emphasis
a committee was appointed to draw
up resolutions c%ensuring the official
and to present them to the governor
and press.
Scott is accused by the division of
wilfully neglecting his duties and ie-
noring complaints made to him
against parties for killing all sorts of
same out of season. He is also charg-
ed with having gone east on a pleas
ure trip of several weeks duration at
the very time of year when he should
have remained in the state to see to
it that the laws which he is particu-
larly obligated to enforce were prop
erly respected. The charge is made
that beaver are being trapped within
a short distance of Helena and that
he has been notified of the fact and
that persons have volunteerer to go
with him and show the carcasses to
him for his W satisfaction and proof
of the truthfulness of the complaint
Deer are being hunted for their skins.
the members of the division allege,
without any effort on the part of the
warden or any of his deputies to stop
the practice.
Another cause of complaint is that
Scott divulges the names of persons
giving him information of violations
of the law and thereby exposes those
so informing him to the risk of incur
ring the enmity of those informed
against and, perhaps, suffer the loss
OF property, and possibly of life.
These and many other charges were
made against the warden and the d.
vision declares that it is prepared to
prove them.
The division declares that inasmuch
as the warden does not seem inclined
to enforce the laws its members will
do SO and promises to cause several
arrests within a short time of mel
who have violated the laws.
In this connection 1t may not be
amiss to note the fact that in WyD.

Women are Learning How to Live
Appropriately on Slender Means.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The woman OF TO-DAY is not neces-
sari1y compelled to forego the pleas
ures of society because she has a
limited income at her disposal. She
is learning to utilize money to the best
advantage. She has learned the afin-
ity and color in dress, and if she is
wise, she keeps to a simple style,
which happens to be her own. BY do
ing SO she brings in the virtue of in
dividual choice, which in itself is a
quality almost inimitable, and not to
be purchased by gold.
The woman gazing dolefully at the
balance which threatens soon to be
on the wrong side Of her bank book,
may yet take heart of grace, and go
in for the simple friezes and the in
expensive stuffs. To the country
dresser friezs and tweeds represent
the modes of the moment.
There are a great many women who
never look well in what is known as
the real tailor-made, and this class
will bless the return of the Russian
blouse style, which can look it's best
in heavy serge or tweed properly
weighted, and pouching ever so slight
ly back and front over a jeweled band
or simple fold of lace deity swathed
round the figure. To a oma of
slight build there is no more becoming
fashion, and she may wear it with
confidence, although the newest Paris
modes only pouch in front, the backs
being mostly tight and plain, with
the exception of a very wide pointed
band at the back. It is here that in
dividual taste may have full play, and
several smart models have the mar
rowest possible belts.
