JAMES WATT---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
>ntoenth century, noticed one cold
day that when he clamped down too
tightly thel lid of a water-kettle on his
eel! 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
yanoI, known as steam. This vapor
was so powerful in it's expansion that
it forced it's way ont of the narrow
confines of the kettle and pervaded
the room. Experiments later proved
that steam would fill 1912 times the
space occupied by the water which
had formed it. 1t was a new force, a
new n tremendous power, of which
the world at large was wholly ig-
nor&nt. The marquis made many eX-
perim5ntS along his chance-discov-
cred subject. And the fame of them
reached the ears of Capt Slavery, a
military engineer,
Slavery, sooa after hearing of Wor-
cester's theory, was one day sitting in
a tavern. He had JUS: finished drink
ing a bottle of wine. He tossed the
bottle with it's few remaining drops of
linCid into the open fire. Presently
what was left OF he wine began to
issue from the mouth of the bottle in
the form OF steam. SavCry snatched
UP the bottle and thrust it's neck into
a pail OF cold water that stood close
by. Water rushed up into the bottle
almost filing it. This phenomenon
set Slavery to thinking. He made en-
periments and. in 1898, took out a pat
ent for a device for Raising water
and occasioning motion to all sorts of
m:ii-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
e.., ~, A.: bottle in the tav-
ern, he constructed
a 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, a

steam engine in which Through the

the substance gunpowder. The monk

Of the eleventh judicial district, is
being almost unanimously endorsed

north and while we are d~isinclined to
intrude ourselves into other peoples

judges OF the several districts Is q
matter that concerns the people of the
whole state. Every good citizen
should applaud she able, courageous
and fearless official, and this is what
may be justly and truly said Of Judge
Cook. He has given the people Of his
district the very best service in him
and that is saying a great deal.
The writer has had occasion to be
present at . number of his courts on
different occasions and is we'll aquaint-
ed with conditions that prevailed in
several counties before he vent upon
the bench as we'll as since. Judge
Cook has been . potent factor in ap-

has rendered on the bench, he, is a
companionable character and person
ally the people Of his district gener-

consider it a distinct loss did he not
make his semi-annual visits to them.
We make these observations with no
