HONOR NOT ENTIRELY WATTS
AZ Least Two Inventors Before Him
Had the Idea Of the Value Of
Steam Power.

1t Is popular idea that we owe
the steam engine entirely to the inven-
tive genius Of James Watt.
The Idea, however, is quite errone-
Gus, for steam was in use asa motive
power before he came on the scene.
Several types of steam engine were
IN use, notably Savory's and New
comen's
But they were cumbersome, extrav-
agant, and Of small power, and 1t was
while repairing model of a Newcom-
en- engine that Watt, who was working
as q mathematical instrument maker
at the. time, evolved various improve
ments, notably the separate con-
denser.
Meeting Matthew BouIton, manu-
facturer of metal goods, he entered In
to partnership and they produced en-
gines, which at once established Watts
reputation. improvements and inven-
lions followed quickly, one after the
other, and the present-day advance in
motive power is due to the pioneer
work of Watt. Even today the steam
engine remains the same in principle
as Watt evolved 1t.
1t Is an interesting fact, by the way,
that Watts workshop, exactly as he
left 1t, still exists at Heathfield hall,
Handsworth, where the engineering
genius spent the last nineteen years Of
his life carrying on scientific inyesti'
gations.-Lond0n Tit-Bits.

Wis applied the emergency brakes, but
realized that the train was certain to
run down the children unless some
thing unforeseen occurred.
The Standifer girl carried one
child off the trestle and returning
picked up the two others, one under
each arm, and started for the end
of the bridge The train was so close
that it struck them just as the girl
jumped with her human load to an
embankment, FIVE or six feet below.
Beyond sustaining slight bruises
and fright they were unhurt. Had
it not been for the little girls heroic
action, Engineer Davis says that all
four would have been killed.

Americas Victory Coiors.

Those In America who choose the
seasonal colors for the dyers and
dressmakers, have united upon a rich
deep blue and a bright cherry as the
victory colors for 1919. 1t is not the
red that we associate with conquerors
observes correspondent, it is too light
and thin in its tones; but 1t will un-
doubtedly prove a success, as it is an
excellent CONTRAST to the victory blue.
The choice of these colors is confined
to America. We do not know that
France will launch victory colors, but
1t is to be supposed that if she does,
she will use the horizon blue Of the
French uniform or the blue of the
French flag. She is not much giver
to this kind Of work. 1t may be the
she will not celebrate victory through
fabrics.

the new and narrow skirt. Many
Of them are draped ana some Of them
are cut so that they hang in; that is,
they narrow about the ankles. Often
they are folded over, or slashed, at

stride but maintain their narrowness.
Since their adoption even hats have
been modified to harmonic with the
long lines of the new silhouette.
Under the new skirts there is no

appeared to take their place. They
are long and soft, with plated frills
