MAKING STEAM WORK.
ITO be Continued.

Unfortunate inventors Who Antedatsd
James Watt.
James Watt took out a patent on his
steam engine In 1769. but as far back
as 1913 there was a captain in Spain
who constructed q vessel Of 200 tons
and propelled 1t at Barcelona in the
presence Of the Emperor Charles v.
and bis court by an engine, the con-
struction Of which he kept a secret.
But an old document says that In II
was q monster caldron of water and
that there were two movable wheels
on the outside Of the vessel. The en-
peror was satisfied with its operation,
but the treasurer Of the kingdom OBJ
jected to 1t. 9nd 30 no encouragement
was given to the enterprise. The poor
inventor. whose name was Blasco de
Guerrero. wearied and disgusted at the
want Of patronage, took the engine out
Of the vessel and the secret Of the
machine was buried in his grave.
The incident was almost duplicated
In France a century later. The IA
nous Marian de rOrme, q celebrated
Frenchwoman. who lived to be l34
years old. told In letter to an admir-
er, dated 1641, Of a man confined In q
madhouse Of Paris for urging that
anything could be done by the forcc
OF steam. The mans name was Solo
mon de Coste. a native Of Normandy.
and It was because he had persistently
followed Cardinal Richelieu. imploring
him to take an interest In his inven.
ton. that be was put behind bars

WORRY OVER TROUBLES }
KILLED MRS. YERkES.
Late Traction MiIIionaire's Widow At
tracted Considerable Notoriety'

The recent death of Mrs. Mary AIDE
laide Yerkes, widow of Charles L,
Yerkes. the traction millionaire, may
be said to have been directly traceable
to the years of trouble that came upon
her following her husbands death ana
which brought on heart failure.
About twenty-four years ago Mary
Adelaide Moore, daughter of the junior
member Of the drug firm of Powers,
Weightman & Moore of Philadelphia,
was married to Charles T. Yerkes.
Yerkes had only just been released
from the penitentiary, where he had
been sent after conviction for crime in
connection with municipal franchises.
In order to marry Miss Moore he OBJ
tanned divorce from the woman who
had been devoted to him while he was
in prison and had aided materially in
obtaining q Communication of his sen.
tence.
For the first ten years of her married
life the second Mrs. Yerkes was happy.
She travelled all over Europe with her
husband, and their friends said that
the existence of the pair was ideal.
Then one night her happiness was
suddenly blasted, never to be restored
The blow was delivered by a friend OF
her husband after a dinner in the mag
| nificent residence in Fifth avenue
which had been built by Yerkes for his
wife. -,,1-
This friend, who is still one Of the
shining lights in clubdom, whispered q

aration. Mr.. and Mrs. Yefkes never
again dwelt under the same roof
Yerkes went to Europe and busted him

For twelve years Mrs. zYerkes lived
what she called the ''life Of "a hermit"
About four years ago Yerkes, who
had returned to this country, died from

In less than twelve months later the

CHURCHES PLANNING
A BIG EXPOSITION
Pageant of Christian and All Savage
Beliefs In Chicago In 1918.

A pageant of the medieval period
as a means of fnstructing and arousing
the interest of the young in religious
matters will be one of the features of
a mammoth missionary exposition to
be held in Chicago some time during
the spring of 1913.
The Chicago exposition will be the
second of the kind ever held in Amer
lea. An expenditure of more than
100000 and the services of more than
10000 lecturers will be required to give
instruction concerning the work now
being done and now needed in foreign
lands. The work of planning and car
rying out the exposition will be in
charge of A. w Gardiner of London,
who has had charge of several exposi-
tons of this sort in England.
The purpose of the exposition is to
popularize the subject Of foreign mis-
sions among the laity, especially the
young members of the churches. Two
years will be required to perfect plans
for the undertaking. Twelve thousand
young men and women will be asked
to make thorough studies of some
phase of the mission subject, and these
lecturers or stewards" viii impart
their knowledge to visitors.
Believing that impressions received
through the eye are much more lasting
than those received by the ear, it was
decided to make the pageant one of the
features of instruction. In the pageant
will be enacted scenes from the home
life of natives of the unciyilfzed lands
Orchestra hall will be engaged fol
the purpose, and here the pageant will
be given nightly by young men and
women trained for that purpose. Scenes
will be given showing the religious
rites, celebrations and everyday rou
tine of the inhabitants Of the mission
lands. These scenes of saVagery viii
be followed by others showing the
change wrought by the advent of the
missionary.
The exposition proper will be helC
in the Colosseum and will continue foI
an entire month One of the features
here will be the many exhibits from
missionary lands. There will be more
than 10000 of these, representing the
handiwork of every race of people.
