BROKE AWAY FROM POVERTY
Successful Men, Born Poor, Soon Be. gan to Hustle for the Highly
 Desirable Mazuma.

Somewhere in the obituary of almost every successful American you will find this sentence: "He began life a poor boy"
 Our great men seem to have had a positive genius for picking out poor parents. Although poverty at birth Is looked upon as an asset rather than a liability, most successful Americans, notwithstanding the tremendous ad- vantage poverty gave them, began to hustle for riches before their milk teeth had fallen out
 Being born poor may be an asset, but it becomes a liability If you stay that way. When you are a pink, stub nose baby being carried around on a pillow and exhibited to the neighbors you are fortunate if poor, but a great deal more unfortunate if you remain so.
 Most of the men who have succeed ed in getting their names in the Unit ed States histories, in public libraries and on cigar labels selected parents who were constantly pumping into peo- pic on the streets to whom they owed money, but the greatness of these men was displayed in the neatness and dis patch witt. which they succeeded in leaving something more substantial for their own children than pink com plexiOns and waiting lists of creditors.

AvIATORS TO PATROL WOODS
Idea Is Called Cheapest Possible Hn- surance for Vast Tracts of
 Valuable Timber.

Northern Minnesota's vast expanse of forest lands, dotted with hundreds of lakes, will be patrolled by hydro planes if plan just proposed by w. T. Cox, state forester, is carried into effect.
 MT. Cox has obtained the co-opera, ton of Congressman Carl c. Van Dyke, who will endeavor to induce the federal government to establish a naval training station on Lake Su- periOr preferably at Duluth, Minn., furnishing the necessary buildings and equipment The state forestry de- partment could furnish several avia- tors, who are former rangers. now in the service of the United States and Canada as flyers, to direct the patrol work, which, Mir. Cox suggests, could be made part of the training course.
 It would not be difficult for the na- val air students to cover a large part of St. Louis and Cook counties. which are particularly subject to destructive forest fires and which are plentifully supplied with lakes, thus insuring the flying boats safe landing places. MT. Cox says hydrOplane flying high would enable an observer to "spot" fires over an immense area. The speed of the aircraft would enable him to de termine the exact locality of the fires and insure quick action in fighting them.
 The air-patrol plan is the cheapest possible insurance for vast tracts of timber that are becoming priceless, MT. Cox asserts.

MARKED PROGRESS OF MAN
Invention of Outrigeer Canoe Was One of the Greatest In History of
 the World.

One of the great epoch-making in- ventions was the outrigger canoe, which is of Polynesian or perhaps Ma lay origin. It made practicable the exploration of the Pacific and the set clement of island groups separated from one another by vast distances. The great sailing canoes in which mi grants from Tahiti voyaged northward over thousands of miles of trackless ocean to the Hawaiian islands, nobody knows how many centuries ago. giving to that archipelago its first popula- ton, carried 80 or more men and wom. en. presumably with children accom- panying.
 Captain Cook, the first white explor- CT to map the Pacific, found all the island groups inhabited. The peOA pie did not say to him: "We are discovered at last!" They were them selves the hscoverers. Long centu- ries before Captain Cook was born they had traversed all parts of that ocean; and the Polynesian navigators had mapped 1t for themselves with curious charts made of little sticks Children in that Part of the world are brought up in bo;ts. They are am- phibious. Canoes for themselves they make out of hOllOwed logs, with sticks of bamboo for oItrggers. Land and water are the same 10 them; they are equally at home in the sea or on terra firma.

Morse Inventor of the Teleuraph

Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the electric telegraph. was literary man and an artist before he became one of the worlds greatest inventors. He was a graduate of Yale college and had qualifications for authorship that would have won success if he had turned his attention in that direction Then he took up art and studied under the great Benjamin West, in England, and painted portraits for few years and was the first president of the Academy of Design in New York. But he did not develop his true mission until he took up electricity and in- vented the telegraph.

WORLDS FIRST STEAM FERRY
Was Established by John Stevens in 1911, Running Between Hoboken
 and New York.

The first ferry in the world was established in 1911 by John Stevens be- tween Hoboken and New York. Tax ing up the study of steam in 17S9, 1t is recorded. he took out patents on ma rine. engines three years later, and In 179S completed his first boat, sue cessfully operating 1t on the Hudson river Tn 1894 a second boat was equipped with two screws, and the style of propeller designed by him was for many years preferred above later inventions. Though this was the first application of steam to the screw-prO- peller, yet this design was the identi- cal short, four-threaded screw used today. It is remarkable that this form of propulsion was not practically intro duced until 1887. His original steam boat also contained the first condens- ing double-acting engine ever made in America. and multi-tubular boiler. In 1897 he built the sidewheel steam. boat Phoenix, which was a few days behind Fulton's vessel in attaining the legal speed, and was thus shut out from the Hudson river; but he boldly steamed her around to the Delaware by sea, being the first to navigate the ocean with the new motive power.
