tiouS man was making a general
nuisance of himself to the other oc.
cupantS of the carriage, explaining
in loud voice his cuteness and sue

people in the carriage smiled pity
ingly, some merely looked bored,
but one solemn individual eyed the
fat boaster with stony and immov-
able stare. The latter at last be-
came uneasy under this unwinking
scrutiny and, turning to the man,
said blusteringly:
"Well, what yer looking at me

A Typical Whitman Story.

Here is an incident which, if no
true, is good enough to be. The
scene was Fowler & Wells office in
New York, where believers in phre.
nology went to have their bumps
examined. Whitman has derided
bumps in the Eagle, yet in his
poems he shows a half belief in the
so called science, and he familiarly
haunted the little shop with its
charts, its busts and its cranks. One
day a friend found Whitman there
in his SLOUGH hat, corduroy trou-
sers, black silk tie and flannel shirt,
leaning against one of the book
counters and looking with a sort of
infantile surprise and perplexity aft
er a figure that had just stamped
out in tempest of wrath. "What's
the matter, Whitman" asked the
newcomer.
Walt replied: "Did you notice
that fellow who passed you at the
door? Well, he was fool enough to
lend me $500, and now he is darned
fool enough to think l can pay it."

THE STEAMBOAT.
Ancient Craft That Suggested the
Modern Monarchs of the Sea.

|
Modern Monarchs of the Sea.
The first steamboat was built by
Dennis Papin, who navigated il
safely down the Fulda as long age
as 10Y. Unfortunately this pic.
neer craft was destroyed by jealous
sailors, and even the very memory
OF it was lost for three-quarters OF
century. In 1775 Perrier, anoth-
er Frenchman, built an experiment
tai steam vessel at Paris. Eight years
later, in 1888, Jouffroy took up the
idea that had been EVOLVE by Pa
pin and Perrier and built steamer,
which did good service for some
time on the Saone.
The first American to attempt to
apply steam to navigation was John
Fitch, Connecticut mechanic, who
made his initial experiments in the
year 1885. To what extent Fitch
was indebted to the three illustri-
GUS French inventors named above
we are not informed, but that his
models were original there is not
the least doubt. In the first he en-
ployed a large pipe kettle for gener-
ating the steam, the motive power
being side paddles worked after the
fashion of oars on a common row.
boat. In the second Fitch craft the
same mode of propulsion was adopt
ed with the exception that the pad
dies were made to initiate a revolv-
ing wheel and were fixed to the
stern, clearly foreshadowing the
present stern wheeler.
This last mentioned boat was the
irst American steam vessel that can
De pronounced a success. 1t made
is first trip to Burlington in July,
-7SS. But, after all, it was not un-
il after the opening of the present
century that steam navigation start
d into actual life. In 1907 Robert
fulton, who every school child
.nows was an American, in conjunc-
ion with one Robert r. Livingston,

regular packet service between
Jew York and Albany.
The success of this undertaking
