Robert Fulton Might
Have Saved Napoleon

Although the trip Of Fulton's Cler-
mont from New York to Albany inl
1907 marked the beginning of the nrst|
regular steamboat service, 1t was not
as many believe, the first PRACTICAL
demonstration OF the steamboat. The
American inventor propelled an eariier|
boat on the river Seine In Paris four|
years earlier.
No good American can look upon
the Seine without, thinking OF that
August 8, 1903, when its banks were
black with spectators watching tha|
young American dreamer making tha|
first trip ever made In a steamboat.
For four hours the strange craft
pulled and belched along the stream.
And so Paris and the world becamel
acquainted with Robert Fulton.
Napoleon had said OF Paul Jones,
that Ii he had lived France would
have had an admiral. But had haI
only been able to give closer consid-I
Grafton to two propositions which Full
ton put before him-that OF transport
ing troops by steam across the British
channel, accompanied by submarines
torpedo boats, which he had already
brought to state OF considerable ef-l
ficiency-there might have been no st.

Printers Absolved of
Charge of Irreverence

An average layman, fairly familiar
with his Bible. hastily opened the
Good Book TO verify the statement OF
the Literary Dlgest's photographer
that In the Scriptures the personal
pronoun representing our Lord did not
begin with capital letter. To his
surprise, the learned doctor was right.
And IL the reader turned back to the
Old Testament, he discovered also
that the pronouns referring to God
were In the same style. The reason
for this, the photographer explains,
Is that early-day printshops had mad
equate upper cases (capitals) and that
the rule was invoked, not because OF
laek OF reverence, but of necessity.
So far as we know, Bible publishers
are the only printers who have re-
manned true to this tradition. Ger
tainly there are few, II any, newspa-
pers that do not use the upper case
first letter In pronoun referring to
Christ or God.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

What Is Poverty7

Franz Schubert died and left great
riches to the world-the riches OF
beauty translated through the glorious
medium of music. Those who came
to look into the attic of Schubert de-
clared that he had died In poverty.
He was the poor figure of financial
tragedy. Lately n bit of his manu-
script sold for $1,000. But TINT does
not establish his wealth. The great
riches he left are for those who can
appreciate them. Men may die with
out money, but they need not die In
poverty In the larger sense.-Grove
Patterson In the Mobile Register.

Porcupine Shown to Be
Much Maligned Animal

One OF the most unconcerned deni-
zens of the woods and one about which
has been woven many a fantastic tale
Is the porcupine.
1t Is the marksman of the forest,
as the story goes-the bowman that
shoots barbed arrows at those 1t sees
fit to attack. One In imagination can
almost see cloud of quilts winging
their way toward some enemy, ready
to pierce any unprotected skin and,
once beneath the skin, presenting the
problem of the fish-hook imbedded In
lnckless anglers finger. 1t has the
reputation of belligerency of the two
gun man, staggering around, scowl-
Ing at any luckless person who chances
to get in the way.
II ever more unfair picture of the
character of an animal has been paint
ed, grave injustice has been done.
The porcupine, as matter of fact,
is mostly intent on Winding its own
business and hopes that other animals
will do the same. 1t Is not particularly
afraid of any others, knowing, as the
skunk does, that 1t viii not be at
tackled by any but the very young,
and the very young soon learn that
good defense is wonderful offense,
reversing the usual strategy.
