OF
 ANERICA'S FIRST
 RAILROAD TODAY

Rrhe year 1896 was the prettiesosof smrmationsand 1t was the most abu- sive year of protestations. Love was abroad in that romantic year of the early Victorian era. Ladies never looked so lovely for never were vary ing fashions so romantic,-the ring lots, and the wreath of roses around the bonnet. and tho swaying, coquet- tish hoop-slxirt. And 1S36 was a year of political curses on modern i'm provements: ''They are mad to tra vel in that snorting thing called an en- gineH And on two slim railsl They will perish tho first yard tho.- novel" And yet, on August 26, 1886. the first railroad in America was opened from Buffalo to Niagara. The in- vention of steam came about in tho simplest manner in the world, as do all great things, and from the lowly of the earth, as ever tho plan of Providence. In 1796, in a miners cot tage fin Newcastle, England, one of the greatest mining districts in the world, and where today ominous dis turbances among ill-paid miners are causing the government grave con- corn, a boy sat beside an open } ~th, listening for the tea kettle tu sing "and then we'll have sup per" Poor enough. indeed, that sup per was to be: tea with ducks eggs broken into 1t for milk (miners rare ly sec millk), a hunk of cheese. a loaf of bread, and twice a week d bit of bacon.
 That boy sitting in front of the hearth was bright chap. He was dreaming of what he would do when grown up. Suddenly-.tho lid of the tea kettle blew off, with the power of steam, and flew to the floor. Hah. Done!
 An accident led to a great disco very. Up sprang that boy, with a. great idea burning in his widening eyes. Young George Stevenson had found tho key at the age of fifteen. A steam engine is 0 machine for the conver- sion of heat into mechanical work, in which the working substance is water, and water-vapor. As yet George Stevenson was unable to read, but the next year he went to night scf ool Cfor he helped his father in the mines, and made rapid progress.) He shares with James Watt the dis tInction and the honors of inventing the steam-engine. In 1S13, after ex- periments and failures and again suc- cesses with steam traction, he was authorized by the KillingSworth Col fiery to incur the expenses of the construction of a travelling engine. From the day of that clumsy and sen- sational iron horse named My Lord," propelled by the power of steam, un- iii today what wealth of inver-t-e @ genius has gone to perfect the great engines of the world!

CANNON FIRST BROUGHT INTO
 PLAY IN 1882

Cannon was first used, according to the testiT1ony of most historians, in tho battle of Crecy, France, 573 years ago today, when Edward III of England and his son, Edward the Black Prince, with about 36,000 troops, defeated Philip of France with an army of 130,O0O men. The guns were of the rudest make, cum bersome and inefficient. It has been claimed that cannon was used by the Moors in the thirteenth century. by Henry III of England during the re- bellion of the Duke of Gloucester in 1267. and by he Spaniards against Cordova in 12SO, but it is held by these we'll qualified to judge that the first unquestiona able testimony of the em- | ployment of cannon was by Edward III.

Vice Presidents Who Have Taken Oath

More than once in our history tho

ident Of the United States nearly a
month before Washington's first in.
auguration; it was the case with
Millard Fillmore, who, it is said, took
the oath on Sunday, March 4 falling
on that day of the week in 1849,
while Taylor, the president-elect, be-
ing rigid Sabbatarian, did not per-
NIT himself to be sworn until Mon
day.
1t is said that in 1877, when
March again fell on Sunday,
Wheeler, the vice president-elect
took the oath on that day, while
Hayes, having religious scruples, put
off the matter until Monday. Of
these cases, however, the most Pc
culiar was that of 1879, when, the
government having just been put in
operation, presented the curious
spectacle of vice president without
a president. At the time, however,
the matter seems to have attracted
little attention or remark, and is
now remembered only as his
torical incident.
