DIED BLIND AND IN POVERTY
Inventor Of Steam Foghorn an Ex-
ample Of the Ingratitude Of
the World.

The man who invented and installed
the first steam foghorn died blind and
in poverty despite his varied attain
ments and achievements in widely
differing fields. He was John FOULS,
a Scotchman, who came to st. John,
N. b., In the early years Of the last
century.
An interesting description of this
versatile Scot is given in a paper read
before the st. John Historical society
by William Murdoch. c. 4. Murdoch
says of Fouls:
"He was a nephew OF the brothers
Robert and Andrew FOULS of Glas-
gov, printers and publishers, whose
productions were the admiration of
all their contemporaries. and whose
edition Of Horace, published in 1744,
IA hung up sheet hs sheet. in Glas-
gov, and a reward offered for the dis
cOvery of n single error.
This scion of an intelligent breed
was a graduate Of Glasgow univer-
sity. After various experiences when
a young man, eve to serving us sur
geon on a whaling ship, he finally set
tied in st. John and became a land
surveyor, artist, analytical chemist
and Il civil and mechanical engineer.
His survey of the River st. John is
still in vogue in the Crown land Of
fee Of this province. His chemical
knowledge ranged from analysing
ores to making his own whisky when
overtaken by adversely.
"While operating as a mechanical
engineer and owning a foundry he en-
gined the first steam ferryboat to
cross st. John harbOr, besides the first
steam craft to ply the st. John river.
Later on, when Mr.. FOULS was the en-
gineer Of the light and signal service
Of the government Of New Brunswick.

wheron was an automatic fog bell, l.,

ties being then new to the world.
Later on his suggestion was acted
upon. There was no patent law then
and though in his old age, blind and
poor, he was given no compensation.

shipped In carload lots by owners than
any other class of live stock. Cattle,
hogs and calves follow in the order
named. In sales to local buyers hogs
lead, with calves, cattle and sheep fol-
lowing in order.
The study discloses that the time of
buying stockers and feeders and the
ed toe generally to a few months of
the year. Should stock-feeding opera
tons be better adjusted to market con-
ditions, a decided influence toward a
more even distribution of the supply
would be the result.
Cooperative associations of cattle
laisers are becoming an Important fac
tor in marketing, the report shows.
Seven hundred and fifty organizations
which market cattle in q cooperative
way now exist in Is states. -Four
hundred and thirty Of these organiza-
tons are primarily livestock shipping
associations. The greatest activity of
this sort was found in Minnesota,
where 215 cooperative livestock ship
ping associations are located. The de-
partment specialists declare that these
associations bring greater returns to
the farmers because Of the reduction
of marketing expenses and the realiza-
ton Of the prevailing prices at the CEN
tralized markets, and that they are also
valuable because of their educational
features.
The system of centralized livestock
markets in the United States is the
largest single factor In the marketing
of meat animals. 1t Is noteworthy that
this system is peculiar to the United
States, no other country having de-
veloped such markets for their live
stock. Not only is live stock sold for
slaughter at the centralized markets,
but a large proportion of stocker and
feeder cattle also passes through these
market centers.
The chief outlet for food producing
animals in this country. the study dis
closes, Is wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing. Such industries usually
are associated with the great central
lied markets. More than 100 slaugh-
tering and meat-packing establish
ments were operating in the United
States in 1914, and turned out products
worth S1,651, 765, 424. The specialists
report that one of the striking features

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Meat and meat animals are marketed
by three general methods in the United
States, the extent to which the particu-
lar practices are employed varying
greatly in different sections of the coun
try. The three general methods are /:
Shipping to the large centralized mar
kets, selling to local butchers and pack
ers and selling in the form of farm-pre-
pared meats to dealers or consumers.
There are also marked differences in
the extent to which the different
classes of animals are marketed in the
three ways. These facts are brought
out In a report of a survey of live
stock and Mountaineering conditions
of the country made by specialists of
h United States department of agri-
culture and recently published as Part
V of a comprehensive study Of the
meat situation in the United States.
The bulk of the animals from the
Central states, it was found, Is sold
through the centralized markets, while
some form of local marketing pre-
dominates in the extreme eastern,
western and southern sections.
The great central markets handle
four-ffths of the sheep and lambs, two
thirds of the hogs, and approximately
one-half of the beef cattle. For local
slaughter about dne-third of the beef
cattle, One-eighth of the sheep and
lambs, and o%ne-twelfth of the hogs are
sold. Nearly One-third of the hogs
and about One-tenth of the beef cattle
and one-twentieth of the sheep and
lambs are slaughtered on farms and
ranges. Relatively more sheep are

up an attitude of opposition to Boss
Lloyd, but why had he run for gov

There were some who justified the
governor in claiming that a man con

shady backing. But Governor Peters
had swung round the minute he took
the oath of Office. announced that he
meant to be the peoples Governor
and fought Lloyd tooth and nail, and
fought him to a %standstill.
Peters had been Boss Lloyd's law

secret tragedy Of his life. Peters
wife had left him a few years after
their marriage. taking with her their
only child, q boy. Lloyd, with all his
influence, had never heard Of her
again. had never set eyes on her since
that day. Peters had still been try

no heed.

the grief-stricken face so blank for a

repeated. "YOur child died and they
thought 1t was Rose valkoff."
Mrs. Napis arose slowly and, with
cut n glance at the happy woman in
black, the smiling baby or the efficient
looking nurse, she walked from the
room. She muttered something as she
walked.
"What does she say?" asked the
nurse, who feared the shock might
have unbalanced the woman.
"She says, What shall l tell Mich
ael?'" replied the interpreter.
