THE COTTON GIN.
How Ell whitney, Itn Inventor, Got
His Great Idca.

Ell Whitney, the inventor of the cot
ION gin, got the germ of his great idea
from seeing through the interstlces Of
hut an oil negro work hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within. a
The teeth of the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly, and
young Whitney (he was barely thirteen
ut the time) realized ut once that n
machine working number Of sim:!ai-
saws simultaneously would revolutions
lie the cotton growing industry.
lie said nothing TO anybody, but set
to work building models and expert
menting. His difficulties were enor-
nous, for he not only had to make his
own wheels, cogs, ETC. but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even to
manufacture the paint whcrewith to
color his lnnny plans and drawings.
But he succeeded In the end, and.
though the outbreak Of war and other
hindrances prevented the invention
from being actually placed upon the
market until many years afterwnrd,
the first complete cotton gin ever con-
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely a
single alteration.
