A curious and fearsome object, the
sight of which made women swoon
and set children to screaming, plowed
its way through the streets of London
on day in 1903. 1t was called a
steam locomotive" and consisted of
four-wheeled carriage bearing one
OF the then new high-pressure en-
gines; a six-foot boiler, single 81
inch cylinder and a great stack from
which gushed a torrent of black
smoke and fire. Guiding this weird
continuance was a gigantic, plain
featured man-Richard Trevithick.
When the practical use of steam
was still new thing, Sir Isaac New
ton had prophesied that some day this
odd power would propel wagons, TAX
ing the place of horses. But no one
took much stock in the forecast. Near
IL 100 years had passed before the
idea was taken up. Then, in 1859, a
scientist, Cugnot by name, made a
road wagon, driven by steam. But it
was not practicable, and was regarded
merely as a plaything. 1t frightened
horses so badly that man with a red
flag was always sent on ahead of it to
warn riders and drivers. Fifteen years
later a British inventor, Murdoch,
made a second of these steam road
wagons. This, too, was failure Both
Cugnot's and Murdock's devices were
more the ancestors of the automobile
than of the locomotive.
1t was not until 1900 that the real
father of the locomotive" made his
first test along this line. He was Ire
vithick, and he had already made
reputation by adding important i'm
pr0vements to Watts steam engine.

district. Although he was too stupid
to acquire education, he was a me-
chanical genius. He perfected high
pressure non-conducting steam engine
and made the first locomotive. This
was rickety, noisy, clumsy affair.
Nevertheless, it was the forerunner of
every locomotive since made. 1t could
carry, in a sort of chaise, Is passen-
gers. Trevithick described it in his
application for a patent as "a steam
engine in a propelling carriage"
But after proving the practicability
of his discovery Trevithick was COM
PEELED to give up the idea of making it
popular. The public at large sneered
at it, called it a freak, and predicted
that it would come to nothing. Never

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL---
The Man Who Made Voice Travel
1000 Miles
1000 Miles

A big, bearded, farmer-like youth of
"a found himself one day in 1871 the
hero of Brant county, Canada. He was
Alexander Graham Bell, Scot, who
had moved from Edinburgh to the
Dominion the previous year. He had
invented a continuance by which hui
man speech could be carried across a
single wire and transmitted with per-
feet distinctness for a considerable
distance. This telephone" as young
Bell called his invention, was regarded
as wonderful and highly amusing
toy. Nothing more. The country folk
turned out by hundreds to witness the
first experiment A wire had been
stretched from the house of Bells ia
Their in the suburbs to the telegraph
Office in the city of Brantford, two and
a half miles away. The test was sue
cessful. Bell was praised, though
some of the graver Canadian Scots
thought he might far better have
spent the time on something really
useful.
He went next year to Boston to &C
cept a professorship in the University
there From boyhood he had devoted
himself to a system, devised by his
father, for teaching deaf mutes to
communicate with each other and
With the outer world. This was his
intended life work, although as a boy
he had longed to be musical COM
poser, and had with difficulty been
persuaded by his father to give up
the ambition. Bell when a mere lad
conceived the idea of forming a sys-
tenn of harmonic telegraphy. He found
that sounds could be carried over
wires .hat were joined to galvanic
battery, and that by adjusting a set of
reeds ut one end of the line of vibra-
ton with another at the opposite end
noises on one set could be reproduced
by the other. Thus, each could be
both a transmitter and receiver of
music notes. From this it was but a
step to applying the same idea to
,,v ..a ~. spoken words,
Ts,.sI and the telephone,
in crude form, was
the result
Soon after Prof. Bell moved to Bos-
ton wealthy Cambridge man, Hub
bard by name, sent his deaf daughter
to him for vocal instruction. An en-
gago2ent between pupil and teacher
soon followed. Miss Hubbard and her
father became deeply interested in the
telephone, and Bell was induced early
in 1876 to patent It.
Mr.. Hubbard was placed in charge
of the Massachusetts exhibit at the
Centennial exposition in Philadelphia.
He wanted Bell to place before the
people In the Massachusetts building
his marvellous scientific toy.
But Bell did not care to do this,

THIS IS MY BOTH BIRTHDAY
GEORGE M. coHAN

George M. Cohan, who is equally well known as comedian. song writer and playwright, was born in Provi- dence, R. l., July 4, 1879. His parents were of the theatrical profession and at the age of ten the son made his first appearance on the stage. About 1890 the family, comprising George, his sis ter Josephine and their parents, entered the vaudeville field and became well known as the "Four Cohans.' About this time George M. Cohan began to show marked ability as writer of short sketches. One of the first that he wrote was "The Governor s Son, which brought the family into added prominence in the vaudeville field. 9th CT sketches and popular songs came in rapid order from the pen of the young writer, and at the age of twenty-five he had achieved a wide reputation. Among the most successful of his mus ical comedies was "Twenty-five Min utes from Broadway" which is said to have realized large fortune for the successful young actor and playwright

RAILROAD ACQUIRES PART IF BEER
 GARDEN
CHARLEY BANKER GETS S1O,0OO FOR CORNER or VALUABLE
 PROPERTY
COUNCIL SEES RIGHT-oF-WAY
WILL DECIDE IN FEW DAYS AS TO TRADE OF PROPERTY
 WITH RAILROAD

By a transaction which has just been closed, the Gila Valley railway has secured portion of Bankers garden as a right of way for the new line which is to be constructed between the passenger depot and the old Dominion shelter, to connect with the new Miami extension.
 The deal does not take in all of Bankers garden, only a part of the west side being transferred to the rail road company. The saloon and a DOT tion of the garden will be retained by Charles Banker
 The price paid for the property was $l0,000. According to the legal de scription of the property, portions Of lots, 2, 3, 4, ,, and of Bankers sub. division of lot 9, block 90, are included in the transfer.
 Early yesterday forenoon, members of the city council, the city engineer and other. city officials paid a visit to the new line of right of way over which theh tracks will be laid, officials of the Gila Valley accompanying the party.
 The entire right of way, and in par ticular that across Broad street, near Banker s, was inspected.
 The portion of the company $ prop crty which it is proposed to transfer to the city in exchange for other prop erty, was inspected. It develops that Broad street is not now on the property of the city, but on private right of way will make no material difference to the city, as the street will retain very nearly it's present position and the members of the council apparently favor the plan.
 A meeting of the council was called for last night, to consider the petition of the railroad company, buts this meeting was called off. It is probable that another meeting will be sched uled within short time, when final ac ton will be taken in the matter. It is understood that a few minor matters must be agreed upon before the per init is granted
 Much of the right of way has al ready been secured for the connec tion between the old and new lines of track and it will probably be a mat ter of only a few weeks before con struction work is commenced.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT ON MIAMI ROAD
 YESTERDAY
GEORGE REARDON PAINFULLY INJURED WHEN HORSE BE
 COMES UNMANAGEABLE

As the result of runaway accident on the Miami road, yesterday after noon, George Reardon was badly cut and bruised about the body and arms, and Joe Finch, who accompanied him, escaped serious injury by jumping from the rig. Finch was the recipient of minor bruises, but escaped more for tunately than did Reardon.
 Reardon and Finch were driving in from the Miami district and on the grade on the Miami road, the rig crowded the horse so closely that the horse began to kick. The harness be- came tangled and broken and when the animal became manageable, both Finch and Reardon jumped.
 Finch cleared the rig, but Reardon was caught between the wheels. He was dragged for some distance, one of the rear wheels passing over his body as he disengaged himself from the framework of the buggy.
 The horse ran into town and was stopped just after if had crossed Pinal creek, al the foot of Broad street. The buggy was reduced almost to kindling wood.
 The young men made their way into town as best they could, Reardon's in iuries receiving medical attention. No bones were broken, but the numerous contusions are very painful.
