Twain embarked on his career as a
river steamboat pilot. The war which
wiped out the steamboat era took his
job, too. At one time two-thirds of
the steamboat tonnage of the United
States was on the Middle West rivers.
On the Ohio and other Mississippi
tributaries there were more steam
boats than in all the ports of Great
Britain.
Few people see the modern pageant
of the Ohio. They glimpse the river
from a pullman car window and thus
confirm by vision geography lesson
of their teens about a twisting line
on the map. The pageant is spread at
any one of the locks between Pitts
burgh and Cairo locks which are ITO
feet wide (the width of Panama canal
iocks) and 600 feet long. Each lock
is linked to the opposite bank by a
house of cards collapsible dam. A
series of panels, usually four feet
wide, propped up by heavy struts,
breasts the current.

Bill of Rights

The bill of rights in England is the
name commonly given to the act de-
claring the rights and liberties Of the
subjects and settling the succession Of
the crown, 1889, which embodied the
declaration of rights drawn up by a
committee of the commons and pre-
sented to William Prince of Orange
and his wife, afterward William III
and Queen Mary. The bill of rights
is the nearest approach to written
constitution which the United King
dom possesses.
