We disobey her laws and she pronounces sentence, There és no suspension, no substitution of a light fine, no time off for good behavior. If we abuse our stomach, which Nature gave us, Nature punishes us with indigestion, If we persist she pronounces and executes the death penalty. There is no escape. It would be, for a time, a hard world, if human judges were as severe as Nature. Perhaps, however, it would he better for us all. For excuses are the curses of the race. We make them to our families, to our friends, to the stranger on whose foot we carelessly step in the trolley, to the man we run into with a motor car, And, curiously enough, we always are angry if they are not accepted. “I said, ‘excuse end of the matter.

XLV.—THE MAN WHO MADE THE STEAMBOAT A FACT. Efforts to build a steamboat that would steam were made before Robert Fulton was born. As early as 170%, Denis Papin, Frenchman, had navigated what he called a steamboat down the Fulda. Three-quarters of a century later Perrier, another Frenchman, built @ steam vessel in Paris. In 178 John Fitch, a Connecticut Yankee, embodied the side-paddles in his experiments. But the trouble with all these boats was that they would not steam, The best evidence of the unsatisfactory character of these ventures is the fact that they failed to survive, The fail ure was langely due to the fact ‘hat James Watt had not yet invented his double-acting engine. Robert Fulton took a good look ut the achievement of Watt & Boulton in Birmingham, England. He suw |that their engine could be adapted to navigation, Something else he saw, |too, He realized that a vessel to be | propelled by steam must be built on lines different from those of a sailing ship. After a series of experiments with engines and hulls in Engiand and France, Fulton formed a partnership with Robert R. Livingston, and in 1803 placed with Watt & Boulton an order for an engine which he himsel? had designed. It is worth noting taut | ne did not divulge to the manutactur lers the purpose for which he wanted the engine. | At about the same time Chancel lor Livingston had introduced in the |State Legisature a bill which many of the lawmakers ¢f (he time re- garded as a joke. The iil provided jior the exclusive right to navigate lthe waters of the State by ait The right was granted anvd luugiite Fulton was subjected to anotte demonstration of ineredu only cw weeks before is great experi- ent in 1807. | The steamboat had been built.
