New York Times. Inventor and Artist. At his boyhood it was hard to say whether the young Fulton was more the inventor or the artist, but as soon ae the war ended he decided that he should become a palater, and went to Philadelphia, then the chief city of She new nation, to study his art. made enough money by tae use of his pencil and by making draw ings for machinists, to support him pe'f, and also saved enough money to buy a small farm for his widowed mother and younger trotters and sisters. Benjamin West, the great painter, had lived near Ijancaster, and had heard much of Fulton's boyhood in ventions, and he now hunted him out In Philadelphia, and helped him in hi:? new line of work. The young artist met Benjamin Franklin and found him easer to farther his plans and so, by dint of perseverance and the friends ha was fortunate enough te make, he laid the founda tions for his future. When he became a man the spirit of the inventor finally overcame that t' the pa-Inter. He weat abroad and studied in labsratoriss in England and France, and then he cams homa and built a workshop of his own.

"Let me give you an illustration: In sight of my office window is a church tower; on each of the three side3 there is a clock face. On one of these one of the hands has been broken, making the clock tell strange tales. Of course there are people who do not understand the circum stances, and are, therefore, misled. At heart the old clock is all right; but that doesn't alter the seriousness of the fact that people have been late in meeting their engagements, and have missed their trains, be cause the face is not an index to that which it covers."

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St, New York Sciatica, Rheumatism. Backache. Pain inchest. Distress in stomach. Sleeplessness I 0 -1 Fores! Fires. (Youth Companion.) Carelessness causes most of the disastrous forest fires which yearly destroy miles of valuable timber lands, and frequently whole villages and towns. A writer in the Milwau kee Sentinel recounts some interest ing facts about them. One expen sive conflagration was started by a match which a man threw into dry grass after lighting his pipe. Before that fire had burned itself out It had traversed a strip of terri tory sixty miles long and five or six miles wide. We lost hundreds of thousands of ties by the fire, to say nothing of the timber that was burn ed over all because a man was not careful where he threw a lighted match. When such fires once get started they burn themselves out; you can't stop them. They play some queer freaks. I have seen great pine-tress standing out alone in a little clearing one hun dred yards or more from anything, and suddenly the fire would jump out and a few minutes later nothing would be left of the trees but the trunk and scarred and burned limbs. I remember one case of the kind where a handsome big pine stood out alone. Suddenly the flames seemed to gather themselves into a big ball and burst over the top of the tree like a shell, enveloping it in fire. It burned as though it had been kiln dried. In the old days the Indians were very careful of fire. When they broke camp in the morning, after going a shot distance, one of the band would go back to see that there was no spark unextinguished. If there was he would be sure to put it out. If he did not return to the waiting band soon, two or three oth ers would go back, and if there was any fire they would help him extin guish it. In that way forest fires were pre vented. Nowadays, with white cam pers and picnickers going into the woods and leaving without care whether they leave sparks which may cause a blaze or not, it is hard to preserve the forests. I presume it was something of that kind which started the fires up in British Colum bia. The country is densely timber ed, and any fire there means the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in standing timber, to say nothing of lives placed in danger.
