His father died when Robert was three years old, and at an early age the boy was apprenticed to a Philadelphin jeweler. In addition to his “work in the shop, young Fulton applled bimself to portrait and land. scape palnting and showedssuch talent that he was enabled to keep his wid owed mother and in four years hought a farm oun which he placed her. He then went to London to prosecute the study of his art as a painier. So strong a bent had he for science, how ever, that 1n bis odd hours he studied mechanics and eagineeting. Finally attracting the attention of the Duke of Dridgewater, who was then inter ested in an extensive canal scheme, Fulton was induced by that gentleman to give up paluting altogether aud to aevote himself to civil engineering awd fnvention. g In the next few years Fulton invent. ed an incline plane for supplanting ca nal locks, a mill for sawing and poiish fng marble, a machine for spinuing flax and another for wmaking ropes. e also wrote a book on navigating canals and another on the application of steam to navigation. At about this time he attracted the notice of Edward I'. Livingston, United States minister at Parls. In response to an invitation Fulton went to that clity, where he soon Invented a submarine boat, which be valuly tried to have adopted by the French, British and American govern ments, After his fallure in this at tempt he returned to his dream of steam navigation and Invented a small boat which successfully navigated the Seine. Livingston was so interested that he advanced money to Fulton to come to Amevica and buill a steam boat for the Hudson, The result was the Clermont, from. whose * fivst trip between New York and Albany dates the beginning of a new era in the water transportation of the world, The Clermont marked the high tide of Fulton's success. He was forty-two years old at the time and lived only elght years longer, having been worn out by the incessant tol of his earlier Mfe.

Sometimes when they reeeive the stuff they order by wail they have another Think eoming. They think, “What fools we mortals be,” and apply the Think to themselves, And sometimes some of them think something like this: “Wonder why Mister Man, our local dealer In many things we need, doesn't advertise these - things in our local paper? Maybe if he did we wouldn’t be tempted to send to the big city for these same things. |f we were sure we could buy thém at home for about the same price and have a chance to see the goods before taking, we think we'd prefer to buy them at home.” Now, Mister Men, what do you think— think—think?
