JAMES WA TT---And the Series of
Accidents That Changed All History

An English nobleman, imprisoned in
the Tower of London on a political
charge in the latter part of the sew
enteenth century. noticed one cold
day that when he clamped down too
tightly the lid of water kettle on his
cell stove, the lid would sooner or
later fly off The prisoner. marquis
of Worcester, had much time on his
hands He fell to studying out a rea-
son for these explosions. In time he
had figured out their reason. The
heat of the stove boiled the water in
the kettle. The boiling generated a
vapor, known as steam This yapor
was so powerful in its expansion that
Il forced its way out Of the narrow
confines of the kettle and pervaded
the room Experiments later proved
that steam would fill 1,642 times the
space occupied by the water which
had formed It, 1t was a new force, a
new and tremendous power, of which
the world at large was wholly ig-
norant. The marquis made many eX-
periments along his chance-diseov-
cred subject And the fame of them
reached the ears of Capt Slavery, a
military engineer
Slavery. soon after hearing of Wor-
cester's theory, was one day sitting in
a tavern. He had just finished drink
ing a bottle of wine He tossed the
bottle with its few remaining drops of
liquid into the open fire. Presently
what was left of the wine began TO
issue from the mouth of the bottle in
the form of steam. Savory snatched
up the bottle and thrust its neck into
a pail of cold water that stood close
by Water rushed up into the bottle
almost filling It, This phenomenon
set Slavery to thinking He made ex-
periments and, in 1898, took out a pat
ent for a device for Raising water
and occasioning motion to all sorts of
mill-work by the impellant force of
fire" In other words he made the
first practical application of steam
power to mechanical use and. by fol-
lowing out the idea evolved by the
bottle in the tav-
Se'J wv ern, he constructed
eose'y' crude steam en-
CINE or pump for taking water out of
mines. To this raising of water by
pressure he joined the principle of
procuring, by condensation, vacuum.
This was later improved on by a
steam engine in which Through the
vacuum made by Condensation PTS
ton, or plunger, was forced. Savery's
idea was taken up by Thomas New
comen, an English mechanic, year
or two later Newcomer made an en-
CINE in which steam was let into a
cylender from below, a piston above
being thus driven up in such a way
that a pump-rod Fastened to 1t by

At about this time James Wait. a

A model OF the Newcomer engine was

The first and gravest fault, he

The remedy came to Watt as an in

this delay by condensing the steam

into execution. Then he added an air
