Where are the remarkable and important machine-tools of Whitney and others? And where the inventions that gave such an im petus to the mining, treatment and handling of ores? What of Oliver Evans and his high-pressure steam-engine, surely a great innovation? Where are the inventions that made the cultivation and har- vesting of cereals other than wheat simpler and cheaper? If Fulton's steamboat is to be regarded peculiarly American, what of the automobile in the form that we gave it? What of the character o ) 1 HOROSCOPE.
