FULTON PAVED
COMMERCIAL WAY.

These noteworthy memorial recognitiOns
on two he1nispheres of the fame OF the in
ventor who just century ago placed the
first steamboat on the Hudson Is significant
and gives the life story OF Robert Fulton
an interest possessed by that OF few men
of his day.
Like most OF the great inventions, that of
the steamboat was led up to by many vain
strivings 10 realize an idea which had
vaguely permeated the minds of various
inventors. Two years before Fulton's biTth
in 17G3 there had been Il notable attempt
TO produce a steamboat on the Conesto2a
river, in Chester county, Pa. In 1854 James
Rumsey's Potomac river Steamboat
failed, and was followed a year later by
John Fitcn's Philadelphia experiment.
Nathan Read attempted a steam paddle
boat at Denvers, Mass, in 1889. Expert
ments in steam navigation were also being
made about this time in France.
The Ciermout, launched in New York in
August, 1867, was, however, the first I'M
qualified success.
In 1897, at the age of 90, after LAYING
experimental with many kinds of Inven-
tions, Fulton went to Paris, and there that
year experimental on the Seine with n sub
marine explosive, to which he gave the
name of torpedo. Then he built a sllbnta-
rine boat in which Napoleon took n passing
interest, and which, on July 8, 1901, at
Rrest, had fairly successful trial. But.
much to his disappointment neither France
ncr England would buy this invention.
which now, after century, is justified by

monument association.
Approaching fully what Robert Fulton
has done to make the waterways useful,
the program committee has decided that
the celebration should be typical of what
this gre~t inventor has done for the world
at large. This will be accomplished by the
assembling in the waters of Hampton
Roads, in front of the exposition grounds,
all manner of craft propelled by steam,
forming long lines of review on either side
of the commercial channel and presenting
spectacular show unique IN the history Of
navigation. The exhibit will include not
only all kinds of present day craft, but YES
sells of other days will stand side by side
in contrast with the battIeships and other
vessels of modern make, showing the evolu-
ton of the Fulton invention.
From every point flags and decorations
will fly in the breeze and at night the ilIu-
mination Will present scene of grandeur
in harmony with the magnitude of the
event celebrated.
Rear Admiral Harrington, in charge OF
naval events at the exposition, is already
arranging the lines of anchorage for this
review In connection with this grand re-
view of the "ships of the sea- there will
be held formal ceremonies on the land, in
the halls of the exposition, one of which
has a seating capacity of 5000
Ex-President Grover Cleveland and Hon.
Joseph H Choate will attend as the guests
of Mark Twain and will participate in the
program The President of the United
States has been invited and may be pres
ent On tie program of exercises
will appear many descendants of
Robert Fulton, among those who OK
pect to be present being Mrs. H. n. Can
non, the only living granddaughter of Rob
ert Fulton, and r Fulton Ludlow, grand
son.
In addition to these arrangements, which
are preliminary and tentative, it is expect
ed to make the event still more interna-
tlonal In character by fixing September 3
as the date for King Edward cup races.
These international yacht races have been
set for September, and to put on the
Kings cup race for Robert Fulton day
would be to give added interest to the celc-
bration.
Parades and drills by naval and military
bodies viii also be features of Robert Full

grams by famous orchestras and bands Will

Many historical events in the national life
have been fttingly commemorated at this
great historical celebration, the jamestown
Exposition, and this featuEe of the tencen-
tennlai has been kept prominent from the
beginning. 1t is likely, however, that the
observance of Robert Fulton memorial day
en- September 23s will be more elaborate
and OF deeper significance than any event
OF the kind in America IN recent years. The
tact that the Robert Fulton Monument As

gives additional prominence to the great
event.

The Sun and che TELESCOPES.

The popular notion Is that the as
tronomer points his telescope directly
at the sun and fires his vision point
blank across the chasm OF millions of
miles. Instead. says q writer In the
Ohio Magazine. the Grant sun rays
are lassoed by a coelestatea great
circular mirror driven by clockwork
in such a manner that it throws it's
light into another mirror above. and
this in turn sends the long, concen-
trated beam far into the interior Of
the telescope house The two mir
rors move in automatic adjustment to
each other, so that the solar beams
may be shot into the building, no mat
ter in what portion Of the sky the sun
may be situated. At the farther end
Of the building the reflected sunbeam
strikes a concave mirror which catch.
es the light and. flashing it back to-
ward the opening whence it first en-.
tered, focuses 1t into perfect Image
OF the sun. 5.E%;.s
