A child thirsts by nature, it Hungers by nature, it sleeps because steep-is a natural instinct. _ But no child loves money or values anything according to its money cost until it has been taught. 2B There are many possible pleasures in life, most of them natural and Some acquired. Those which are natural are born in a child.

TWENTY-FIVE ROMANCES + PROGRESS By Albert Fayron Terhune No, 18-ROBERT FULTON—The Mau Who Beat Bad Luck, ‘E day in 1806 a pale, thin man, with a shock of dark halr, landed in New York. He was a fallure. Nineteen years earler, full of high hopes and artistic talent, he had sailed for England to complete his | education as a portrait painter, News had reached hf native land that the | Young artist had foolishly abandoned his chosen profession and had set to | Work c= some crazy mechanical contrivance which could only prove useless, | And later reports showed the truth of these fears, for young Robert Fulton was returning to his native land poor and unsuccessful. Fulton was the son of an Irish immigrant. As a boy he divided his ;spare Ume> between painting pictures and making mechanical toys. At thirteen hé had devised a paddle wheel that Gould be attached to a rowboat and propelled by hand. At seventeen he turned all his attention to art and As soon as he could ralse the money he went to England to etudy under Benjamin West. But while there ho mot several British scientists, and at their advice gave ‘up art for mechanics. He became a friend of James Watt and made a close study of the latter's stcam engine, ‘Then it was that the great {dea of his life came to Fulton. Why not utilize bis boyhood inven- | Uon of the paddle whoel, making steam instead of crude hand power do the work of propulsion? ‘i He mentioned the scheme and was told that steam as motive power for Woats_had already heen tried more than once in an amateurish way and had-been proven incapable of any great. practical service, This was not | enough for Fulton, He evolved the notion in hix brain until ft assumed more definite shape, and ho made up his mind he would some day experts ~ ment with {t, : He was the sort of man who literally exudes {deas. All of them were of a mechanical nature, While ‘in England he helped support himse)t by Paw, ‘fiventing a new sort of flax-spinning machine and i Sought to Help { &2 Apparatus for making ro Then he devised, the first. marine torpedo and with ita s Napoleorfs Navy. } boat for naval warfare. He went to France, which —>® was then at war with England, and tried to interest Napoleon in these. He so far succeeded that he was allowed to test them before a commission. Though the submarine boat would remain under water for hours and could be guided at will, its speed was slow and it could make no progress against the current. So the French Government, rejected it, Next he was ordered to launch his torpe at the British fleet off Brest.. The projectiles failed to ¢ damage So Fulton crossed to England tried to make the British Govern- ment take up his submarine boat; ‘The test again-falled. He was told to try his torpedoes against a certain French warship. They exploded harm- lossly,-all except one, and that burst prematurely, wrecking the vessel that it. In humillation over these repeated failures Fulton went back to France, and there, in 1803, !aunched a steamboat on the River Seine, The boat promptly went to the bottom. He tried once more. This time the. | little vessel stayed afloat, but made no speed. i * The laughing stock of all Europe, the disappointed American returned to New York. His friend, Robert Livingston, lent him enough money to- make one more trial at the steamship. He sent to England for one of Watt's engines and, profiting by hia own former mistakes, started work on his new and improved steamer. It was bullt in an East River shipyard. It became customiry for crowds to go out and watch the course of the boat's construction. Fulton christened {t the Clermont. But It was popularly, known as “Fulton's Folly.” Fulton himself added to this ridicule by prophesythg that In a few years a steamboat would he able to cross the Adantic, Such a forecast was derided as sheer Insanity. At last, on Aug. 11, 1807, the Clermont wasJaunched and started on her isyce ~ A maiden trip to Albany, All New York turned out to make fun of the weird we age (DY Waller A> SInClalls) cara aan netocksninarcieceas oneorei ne teeta ee conecettae She had a }40 foot keel and was 1644 -fect wide.
