The story of Robert Fulton's strug-
gle with the problem of steam naviga-
ton is an interesting one, his earlier
attempts proving failures, as did
those of numerous other inventors at
work on the same problem.
AS a boy Fulton was filled with the
idea of boats and boat propulsion, and
at the age of IS he had constructed
paddle-wheels which he applied with
success to a fishing boat. He had a
strong artistic bent, and several years
of his young manhood were spent in
painting miniature portraits, land
scapes, etc.. besides making mechan-
ical and architectural drawings. At
the age of 81 he went to London,
where he pra:ticed his art, and it was
there that he began his experiments

DESERVING THE MUTUAL LIFE.
Many Of the British Policies Have Been
Transferred.

London, May i1 Mutual Life policy
holders again thronged the offices OF
the North British 4 Mercantile COM
pany Tuesday. Mr. Haldeman stated
that policies in The Mutual vained at
$a,5oo,0o0 had been brought or sent in.
Among the prominen, polieyholders Of
the company who have transferred to
the North British company are the Ouch
ess III Marlborough. Sa50,o00; D. Nj.

Mr. Haldeman said that he was snow.
ed under with correspondence. He has
1000 letters that have not vet been
opened. Asked what he had to say to
Mr. iIogge's phrases "specions offers"
and "fallacious proposals" in his circu-
lar, Mr.. Haldeman said he did not wish
TO rccriminate. but If he were unfairly
attacked he might show infinitely which
party was Justly chargeahIe with spe-
eious offers. etc. He hoped he would
not be compelled TO do this. In some
quarters the Mutual policyholders are
regarded as acting in sheeplike panic, and
il II predicted that the North British
company will not secure more than one
third Of them when the panic sub
sides.
MIR. Iogge, who succeeded Mr.. Halde-
man as general manager Of the Mutuafs
business in Great. Britain, states that
he has received many letters from pol
icyhollers asking him the meaning Of
the North British & aIercantilc's circu-
