Thomas Eubanks was a former
commissioner Of patents 10 the
United States aud his work of COS
pages is a standard among mechan
zeal engineers and historian in this
country. From the foregoing it
will be seen that Blasse de Gara's

ing tue Clermont aud was subject

Again Fulton had the experience
of all those who preceded him but
a few years. Yet the Spanish ship

other boats referred to were iun

Blasso de Cara in his time had

WHO WAS FULToNa
Was He the Pioneer in Steam
Navigation, AS Claimed?


in an Ohio paper aud was written
by ID. w Hughes, formerly of
Mexico, and Laddonia, and Van
dalia, this county. Mr. Hughes
Invented the cornplanter and the
riding breaking pillow, new used
in every farming country in the
world. He is now past 81 years
of age aud is one of the best post
ed men we know. He is butting
up against the historian in what
he say in the article below and it
should be especially carefully read
by the school teachers;
To tue Editor: Let us look at
history many years back of Full
tor. (See Eubauk's Hydraulics
aud the American Cyclopedia) and
see what we find The origin of
the paddle VIII Il for ptopelling
vessels antedatps the Christian era.
The earliest application of steam
to turn the paddle wheel was anti
cipated by Robert Bacon who was
born in 1914.
James Ramsey in 1884 drove
steamboat on the Potomac at the
rate of four miles an hour. John
Fitch with James Ramsey had an
experimental steamer on the Della
ware in 17s6. Their propellers
were PADDLE wheels. This boat
was sixty feet long. Another yes
sci in 1870 made many trips on the
Delaware reaching an average
speed Of seven and ne-half miles
an hour.
In 1883 three Scptchmen, Miller,
Taylor and Symington, obtained
a speed of five miles au hour with
a steamboat. This boat was con-
structed with two bottoms, with a
paddle wheel between them driven
By a steam engine. In 1887 a
large vessel propelled by steam
engine attained a speed of seven
miles an hour.
In 1901 Symingtou instructed
for Lord Dundas, a steamboat for
towing on the canal which was
successful.
Another, in 1902, had a stern
wheel driven by an engine twenty
two inches in diameter and cylin-
der of four foot stroke. 1t drew
vessels Of 100 tons burden, be-
sides carrying Its own weight,
three and a half miles au hour
All these anticipated Fulton's Cler
mont,
Let us go still further back and
we find that Blassode Cara, a nav
al captain, 10 1913, proposed Il
the Emperor and King Charles tn,
Fifth machine to propsl large
boats and ships without oars ant
sails. But the project was met b!
opposition. The Emperor ordered
trial TO be made of it in the porI
of Barcelona which took place OF
, the 18th of June of that year.
But little is known of It's con
struetion only that it consisted o
a large copper boiler and moving
wheels on either side. The expert
meut was tried on ship of 20,
tons burden called the Trinity, o
