Steam Engines Automatic Cut-OH
Valve the IGea of Boy Intent
on Play.

Among the governments patent ex.
hibits is a collection of miniature
steam engines Models of the engines
of Hero, of Alexandria, OF Newcomb
and of Watt illustrate the successive
steps in the development OF what has
become the giant OF our modern in.
dustry. There may be seen model
of the early engine upon which boys
were employed to turn the cocks that,
alternating, let the steam on and shut
it off, One of these boys, Humphrey
Potter, by name. instead of settling
down like a machine to the monoton,
Gus vcTk, kept his eyes open. He
discovered that a certain beam above
his head worked in unison with the
cocks that he opened and closed. He
accordingly connected the two, and
after seeing that the device woI ked
properly. ran off to play.
His employers began to notite a
much greater regularity in the move
ment of the engine than before; this
led to the discovery of his secret, and
to the subsequent adoption Of his de-
vice everywhere. An examination OF
the model of the engine to which the
scoggan was applied arouses in one
the wonder. not that the boy thought
Of it, brit that anybody before him
should have failed to do so. This Is
the "after thought" Of great many
notable inventions. Opponents of the
patent system often raise the point
that all great inventions are lin the
pir," that the same suggestion sooner
or later will come TO great many
different men, and hence that the pat
cnt is simply reward to the one who
happers to arrive first.

conclusion that those two letters
could not be understood by anyone
who was not already partly in the
secret, if secret it was. 1t occurred to
him to have the city directory sent
up to him. He might then find the
address of IS. R. Evans" if that per-
son happened to be a Chicagoan. But
it was quite likely that the Chi
might mean something other than
that Evans" lived in Chicago. Per-
haps, in the morning he would satisfy
his curiosity about IS. r. Evans" but
for the present he lacked the inclina-
tion to press the matter that far.
In the midst of his puzzling, the
telephone bell rang. He crossed the
room and put the receiver to his ear.
"Yes?" he questioned.
The clerks voice answered. "Se-
nor Poritol to see Mr.. Orme."
"Who?"
"S-e-n-o-r-P-o-r-i-t-o-l." spelled the
clerk.
81 don't know him." said Orme.
There must be some mistake. Are
you sure that he asked for me?"
There was a pause. Orme heard a
few scattering words which indicated
that the clerk was questioning the
stranger. Then came the informa-
ton: He says he wishes to see you
about a five-dollar bill"
OH" Orme realized that he had
no reason to be surprised. We'll, send
him up"
He hung up the receiver and, re-
turning to the table, put the marked
bill back into his pocketbook and
slipped into a drawer the paper ON
which he had copied the inscription.
