STEAM MOTIVE POWER.
H Had Been Used Long Before the
 Time of Watts and Fulton.

Time of Watts and Fulton.
 The Marquis of Worcester while i'm prisoned ill the Tower of London in 1856 invented and constructed per. feet steam engine and had it publicly exhibited the same year at Vauxhall in successful operation.
 Thirty -four years later, in 1890. Den his Papin added the piston to the marquis discovery. In 1898 Captain Savary devised and built steam en- zine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin. and in 17O5 Newcomb. Cawley and Savary constructed their celebrated at mospheric engine. which was complete in every detail.
 The above array of historical facts notwithstanding. James Watt, who was not born until sixty years after these great men had given the steam engine to the world. enjoys the distinc tion of being the veritable inventor. originator and author of the most use full contrivance of the present day.
 Fulton. who lived and worked in the early part of the nineteenth century. is given the credit of being the man who demonstrated that steam could be applied to navigation-this, too, in face of the well known historical fact that De Gary propelled vessel by steam in the harbor of Barcelona in l543.- St James, Gazette.

FINALLY SHE BALKED.
1t Was a Good Scheme, but She
 Thought 1t Was Going Too Far.


 It was an extraordinary notice:
 "Eleemosynary Typewriting Institu tion.-Anybody wishing typewriting done. but having no money to pay for same. will be accommodated in this office between the hours of 2 and 10 D. m."
 A young woman was tacking the sign on the office door when the man in q plaid suit stopped.
 "Who is the public benefactor?" he asked
 Me-" she said. Il thought 1 might as we'll advertise and save my employ CTS friends the trouble of hunting me up. They always have something for me to do. Even on days when am so busy that hardly have time to breathe they come in with rolls of manuscript and ask the manager if l have time to copy it. Sometimes that makes the manager squirm.
 "'Are you quite busy. Miss Jones'? he asks. 'Quite,' l say. Then the manager thinks. But he always gives in. oh, well. he says, I guess that isn't very important. Just let it go and copy this for Mir -. So copy it. and MT. - says. Thanks; you are very kind.' He never thinks of pay ing. It is the easiest way in the world to get typewriting done. l was afraid there might be few men who had never heard of the scheme, so l have put this sign out for their bene- fit"-New York Post.

TORPEDO BOAT DESTR0YERS.
They Have Many important Parts to
 Play In Naval Warfare.

They Have Many important Parts to
 Play In Naval Warfare.
 Torpedo boat destroyers. as the name implies, were first built to engage the small torpedo boat, which had become serious peril to the big battleships and large cruisers.
 So serious was the menace that searchlights and rapid fire guns were regarded as unreliable for the protec- ton of these big ships against this smaller craft. It was thus that the de stroyer was born. and, with gradna tion, it's duties were extended until they included all that was formerly done by the small torpedo boat. and much more besides.
 It is a fact that the modern destroy CT is three or even four times as large as one of the earlier type. which natu- rally renders 1t much more sea worthy and obviously increases it's radius of action. seeing that it is capable of car rying much more fuel.
 The objects of a modern torpedo boat destroyer Hotilla are many. Perhaps the paramount duty of every vessel in the flotilla is to discharge its torpedoes, should it get near enough. at the enc, mys big battleships. But very i'm portant office to fulfill is that of scout ing, which comprises locating and re- porting the position of the enemy.
 Should the enemy make night at tack the destroyers are relied upon tc locate and report the position of the attacking fleets torpedo craft. as well as sink or drive them away before they can force an attack against the bigger London Telegraph.
