At THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience Of Winston Churchill Fa
miliar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, lis a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort.
New Hampshire, with it's superb eli
mate, its mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts of America.
'In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum-
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
"And l am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that I could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched-canned vegetables, con
densed milk and so on.
"'By Jove,' I said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those get in New York.
My farmer host snorted.
""That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill he said. It's
from New York that all our eggs
come"

Just 100 years ago next August,
Robert Fulton, after many years of
effort, succeeded in making his trip
on the Hudson in his famous steam
driven ship, the Clermont. The story
of the birth of steamboat navigation
is one filled with the rivalries and
jealousies of inventors who had for
years been struggling with the prob
lem of the application of steam to
navigation of ships, and the contro-
versy as to who was the original in
ventor of steam navigation has been
thrashed over and over from that
time to this.
But however strong the claims of
Rumsey, who tried a steam-driven
vessel upon the Potomac, in 1855, or
John Fitch, or Patrick Millar, or Ma
than Read, or even Robert L. Stevens,
who navigated a paddle-wheel steamer
on the Hudson only few days after
the successful trip of Fulton, it has
been practically conceded that Rob-
ert Fulton is entitled to the credit for
the first practical application of steam
as propelling power for vessels.
That the memory of the great in
ventor may be perpetuated, the Rob-
ert Fulton Monument association pro-
poses to erect on the banks of the
Hudson a marble and bronze monu-
ment to cost 100000. The clay mod
Ell of the monument has been COM
pleted and approved, and now all that

OF ROBERT FULTON
Bronze and Marble Monument Erected the Banks

his art work had brought him in
touch. He patented a mill for saving
marble, and later made plans for the
construction of cast iron aqueducts,
and great work of this kind was
built across the river Dee.
He also patented in England ma
chine for spinning fax, dred ging
machine, market or passage boat, a
dispatch boat, and a trader, am
phibious boat, as it was called, to
be used on canals. His treatise on

ton, written about this time. re-
ceived wide circulation, and copy
was sent to the president Of the
United States by the author.
1t may not be generally knewn that
Fulton was interested in submarines,
which of late years have occupied so
much attention, and have achieved
such marked success, but while in
France, in 1901, he began experiments
on the Seine with boat for subma-
rine navigation, and later conducted
some experiments at Brest in behalf
of the French government, bus when
he failed to blow up the British YES
sells that sailed along the coast, the
French officials became disguised with
the novel craft.
England, aroused by these efforts Sc
cured the services of the inventor,
and after testing decided the sub
marine was impracticable, but con-
sidered his torpedo of some value,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-10-12

which at a test blew up a 200-ton
| brig.
Soon after this Fulton returned to
the United States and continued his
experiments with torpedoes, and the
government appropriated $4,000 for
the testing of his torpedoes and sub
marine explosives.
AS early as 1893 Fulton had turned
his attention to steam navigation, but
it was not until ten years later that
his efforts took any tangible shape
Then with the financial assistance of
Chancellor Livingston, he launched a
steamboat on the Seine, which, ow-
ing to faulty construction of the frame,
Immediately sank. Another boat was
built, with the old machinery, and a
trial trip was made, but no great
speed was attained.
However, encouraged by this par.
tial success, Fulton ordered an en-
CINE to be sent to the United States,
and returned to this country to con-
tinue his experiments. Early in the
spring of 1907 the boat which was
to navigate the Hudson, and especially
the system of steam navigation, was
completed at a ship yard on the East
river. The engine was put in later,
and on August II, of that year, the
Clermont steamed up the Hudson to
Albany, the voyage occupying 80
hours. Thus was the world given

great achievement are undoubtedly
due to Robert Fulton.
For this reason it seems fitting that
the centennial of that notable achieve
ment should be marked by the cree.
ton of monument to the great in
ventor. At the jamestown exposition
next year it is planned to observe
Robert Fulton day, when the navies
of the world will be represented in
Hampton Roads, and naval review
SURPRISING anything yet seen will be
witnessed. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
is the president of the monument as
sociation, will sail at the head of the
ships of war in his yacht.
The design of the Fulton monument
is by Leopold Bracony, and it is pro-
posed to raise the sum necessary to
it's creation in marble and bronze in
small subscriptions, and to place the
names of all donors of ten dollars or
more upon bronze tablets with which
the inner walls of the tomb. where
the remains of the inventor will rest,
are to be lined.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu.

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
or the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

necessary money. The design en-
bodies the broadcast ideas of the re-
suits of Fulton's invention, the idea
being that all industries have been
developed with more or less rapid
ity through the application of steam
to navigation, and that through the
same agency the four quarters of the
earth have been brought together in
commerce and intercourse.
The design shows heroic figure
of Fulton contemplating a model Of
