of "wings" OH this vessel, for steadying
il. and for causing II to ascend or de-
scend. was a remarkable anticipation
Of devices now employed IN submarines
and also on airships. The fact that IN
the summer Of 1900 he made voyage
OF seventy miles along the coast ana
on the high seas in tiny submarine
boat is a wonderful tribute at once TO
his courage and TO his prescience as an
inventor.
We have spoken OF the impartlality
Of MIR. Dickinson's book. IL Is not con
troversial in purpose or in tone. fet
il speaks what should be the final word
in more than one controversy IN
calm and dispassionate tone, with
mere citation Of facts. There is no
attempt TO conceal or to belittle the
inventions and the essays of others,
especially of Fitch. Miller and Symlng-
ton. But of Garay, in 1543, and "a
pin. in 1907, it is sufficient to say that
even Newcomers primitive and cum
bersome atmospheric engine was not
invented until 17l0. As for Hulls'
whom The Quarterly" IN the arucie
10 which we have referred so COCK
suredly proclaimed as beyond any pos
sible question the inventor OF the
steamboat, Mr.. Dickinson quietly re.

ponderous that one powerful enough

carry. Fulton's familiarity with sym
ington's interesting invention is lndis-
putable. but Il seems equally certain
that he copied nothing from it. Neither
does il seem possible TO convict HIM CT
plapiariZing from Fitch or Rumsey,
though we may undoubtedly say what
is not AT all TO his dscredit, that the
work of all these and other inventors
served to animate him with renewed,
persistent ard finally triumphant de-
termination TO succeed where they had
failed. For the determining fact Is
after all this, that not one OF those
men made his invention permanent
and practical success; while Fulton
did so make his. Whether Fulton
would have made his invention had
they not labored before him may re-
main a subject of academic dispute.
Whether any of their works, without
the genius of Fulton, would have been
developed into a success comparable
with his rs lmmeasurably more easy 10
answer in the negative.
In one respect this volume - Of
unique utility and value. That is in
it's presentation OF the text of mucn
Of Fulton's correspondence, patent
specifications. original drawings. de-
scriptions and what not. Much of this
matter is now published for the first
tire, including the intensely interest
ing documents concerning his rels-
tons with Lord Stanhope. Much new
light IS thus thrown uDon Fulton's
character, motives and achievements
and upon the attitude OF his contem-
poraries. in England and France,
toward him. 1t gives US in some i'm
pOrtant respects new conception Of
the man, which we are glad 10 have.
For while il discloses him as a man

frailties Of common humanity, II also
confirms and enhances his title. on the

Hitherto Mr.. Bndlosss name has
been associated with series Of spIr-
tied stories of the Canadian Northwest.
In this new novel Of his he takes 1s
into the heart of the African Jungle,
about which, it may be we'll to add, he
writes from first hand knowledge, since
at one time he lived its life, and, a.
matter of fact, drew from IL the ma
terial for his first ventures into fiction.
Hence the vividness of his local color,
the presence in these pages of that
overwhelming, mysterious, brooding at
mosphere of which explorers have told
us so much. What is more, he has a
capital story to tell of gold in the land
Of the League of the Leopard, which
has sworn that no white man shall ever

trader and his daughter-a most IN
teresting young woman, part traitress,
part loyal-complicated by the in
trigues of g villanous French half
breed, and overshadowed by the black
head of the league, his forehead
marked with cross. There is, OF
course, link with the old count .; M
short, Mr.. Bindloss has done all excel"
lent piece of work, which one reads
with increasing interest to the end.
