THE STORY OF SOME HOT WATER

About two hundred years ago, man,
bearing the title of the Marquis of Wor-
cester, was sitting, on a cold night,
in small mean room, before blazing
fire. This was in Ireland, and the man
was a prisoner. A kettle of boiling
water was on the fire, and he sat
watching the steam, as it lifted the
lid of the kettle and rushed out Of the
nose.
He thought of the power of the
steam, and wondered what would be
the effect if he were to fasten down
the lid and stop up the nose. He con-
Guided that the effect would be to
burst the kettle. How much power,
then," thought he, there must be in
steam!"
AS soon as he was let out of prison
he tried an experiment. Il have
taken," he writes, "a cannon, and
filled it three-quarters full of water,
stopping firmly up both the vent and
the mouth, and, having made good
fire under it, within "a hours it burst
and made great crack" After this.
thesxmarquis contrived rude machine,
which, by the power of steam, drove
up water to the height of 40 feet.
About 100 years after this, little
boy whose name was James Watt, and
who liy ed in Scotland, sat one day look
ing at kettle of boiling water, and
holding spoon before the steam that
rushed out of the nose. His aunt
thought he twas idle, and said, lis it
not a. shame. Tfor you to waste your
time so?" But James was not idle, he
was thinking of the power, of the steam
n movingIt 1spoon.
James grew to be a good and great
man, and contrived those wonderful
improvements in the steam engine
which have made it so useful in our
| day.
What willTnot the steam engine do!
1t propels, lit 1elevates, it lowers, il
pumps, it, drains, it pulls, it drives
it blasts,ssit digs it cuts, it saws. il
planes, itabores, it blows, it FORCES, il
hammers. s.it..fles, it polishes, it rivets
it cards, it spins, it winds, it weaves
it coins. it prints; rand it does NOR
things thanssE 4scan think of.

In the year 1907 Robert Fulton, an
American, put the first steamboat on
the Hudson river, and in 1929 a loco
motive steam-carriage went over a
railroad in England.
And this is the story of some hot
water. From so small a beginning as
the steam of teakettle resulted the
steam-engine. the steamboat. and the
locomotive engine by which the trains
of cars are moved with such speed on
our railroads.
Learn what the power of thought
will do. How many men had looked
at kettles of boiling water but how
few thought of the force of steam
and the good uses to which it might be
turned
