In the year 1803', I enjoyed the never-tobn-fur-got tea gratification of a puddle up the Hudson, on board toe first steam boat that uioved oa the waters of any river, with passenger. Among the voya vers, was a man I had known lor some year pre mauairious auu ingenious worker to stieet iron, tin and, wire ; but his great success lay in wire-work, . especially m making 4 rat-trap and for this, his lost' and best, invention in that, line, he had just se cured a patent ; and with a specimen of his work, ., he was then ou a journey through the State of New York, for the purpose of disposing oi what he called ' "County rights," or, in other words, to sell the privi lege of catching rats, according to his patent trap. It was a very curious tup, as siuipjeas itjasjiv geTuous as iuoaTi ngeuTou's thing ate after they are tuveiited. It was an oblong wire box, divided "into two compartmeuts i a rat entered oue, where the bait was bung, which he jw soouer touched, than the door at which he entered full. Uis ouly appa rent escape was by a funnel-shaped bole into an other apartment, in passing which, he moved an other wire, which iustaotly re set the (rap ; and thus rat after rat s furnished the means of ' (ullow. until the trap was full. Thus it was. not simply a trap to catch a rat, but a trap by which rats trapped rats, ad mjirutum, Taia trap, at the time to which I allude, abso lutely divided the atteution of the passengers; and for my part, it interested me quite as much as did lto.taviwet - tweBMsyi peflieptdrnojtere well- entioe was Greek, the trap was plain Eiuilwii.
