SAW STEAMBOAT AS ENEMY | 8ailors and Fishermen Alike Dreaded | Power of Which They Had No Comprehension, ‘When Fulton’s’ steamboat, the Cler- mont, made her maiden trip on the Hudson river in 1807, it frightened | more persons than it interested. Fish- ermen and small boatmen to a man believed it to be some horrible mon- ster, and headed for shore as fast as they could go, and once on land ran at top speed into woods ,and ficlds to hide. Crews of larger sailing shipg were no better, and many a schooner was deserted and left to drift down stream as the snorting, clanking, . - Later it was made known along the river what, the thing was, and there &t once arose a great wave of hate instigated by boatmen who saw their business ruined, and by fishermen who were sure the noise of the steamboat would drive the fish to sea. Added to them were hundreds of religious fa- natics’ who declared the boat was the | face of God.” So acute'did this dis-| was made by large /sailing -ships to run the Clermont down. ‘The state making it a criminal ‘offense to at- tempt to injure the boat. Decorative Church Windows. . The art of glass decorating is not a modern Bohemian accomplishment. The Roman Cathedral of Prague con- tained, in 127G, two windows which were decorated with Old and New Testament' scenes. -Decorative win- dows soon: became a favorite form of church ornamentation. Asnaes.Sylvi- us, who subsequently became Pope Pius the Second and incidentally was| a very close student of contemporary | fffairs of Bohemia, records that the churches of the ' Czechs possessed many “high and wide windows which were brightly and artistically decor- ated, and such style of decorating was | . not confined to the churches in the| large cities and towns, but even the distant hamlets prided themselves on churches containing windows orna- mented in a similar fashion.” The curriculum. of -the divinfon of technl- cal arts of the ‘University of Prague fncluded courses in psinting, wood- carving, and glass ornsmentation. No degree was ever conferred on a student snless he could exhibit sufficient apti- tude as a “glass man” or qualify in “glassery,”’ a practical demonstration | of the high estee:n in ivhich this branch of the arts was %eld.

Often the fellow who stavts right with a small lead can achieve almost anything he setS out to. So folks have learned to take ad- vantage of everything that turns up or that they can turn up.
