Two BIackbaIlIng Stories.


The Travellers club rejected Thack-
cray, the majority fearing to see them
selves in some future novel by the
great man-an interesting commentary,
by the way, on the Thackeray- Yates
quarrel The Athenaeum was not more
kind to the novelist There he was
blackballed. The difficulty was got
over, however, In the following year
by the rule which permits the election
without ballot of persons distinguished
in science, literature or public life.
There was a worse contretempts over
the election of George Moore, the phi
lanthropist, to Brooks. His nomina
tor was In Ireland and his seconder un-
able to attend the ballot The conse-
quence was that men were running
about saying, Surely you're not going
to vote for that scoundrel Moorew
Twenty-Five votes were recorded, and
of these nineteen were blackballs.
They had mistaken their man for
scamp who had been rejected years be-
fore. When the blunder was discov-
cred members wanted to retake the
ballot but this was against the rules,
so the election had to be deferred to
another day. when the philanthropist
was unanimously made a member

Steam Engines.
The steam engine goes back to Hero
OF Alexandria, in the third century
B. c. Branca, an Italian, in 1929, made
an engine which blew steam against
vanes and thus made wheel spin.
The first actual steam engine was
made by Captain Savey, an English
man, to whom, In 1893, a patent was
granted for steam engine to raise
water. In 1705 Thomas Newcomer
made vacuum steam engine. But the
steam engine Of today, which has
wrought such Il tremendous evolution
IN industry aud society, was the in
Ventiou of the Englishman James |
Watt, and the first patent bears date
