Two presidents of the United States, both of whose birthdays are celebrated in February, were in their own right, inventors. They are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Washington invented a plow. He had seen one which had been brought over from England and im mediately his practical mind work ed out an improvement. Then he called Peter, his smith, and set to work constructing it. When finished it developed the curious eccentricity of not wanting to stay on the ground. Washington' designed it all over again and the plow was a success. Brand New Idra. Twenty-eight years -later Wash ing, returning to the idea, designed a plow that would do two things at the same time—sow grain and plant it. It was a brand new idea in . agricultural machinery. j Part of the device was in the shape of a barrel which discharged the grain, explains Homer Croy, in Popular Science Monthly, while behind was a roller which broke, up the clods and kicked the earth over the seed. Lincoln, when a member of con-' gress, once returned home from Washington by way or Niagra raus.; While proceeding by boat through Lake Erie the very thing occurred ( which had happened when he was a boatman taking a float to New Or leans. The boat stuck. The cap tain of the vessel had all hands force barrels under the side of the ship below the water line. Slowly but surely, the boat began to rise. Lincoln Sketches On High Hat, Lincoln stood at the rail watch ing intently. Taking a piece of paper from his,pocket he sat down, placed It on top of his high hat, and >began to make some sketches. When he returned to Springfield he spent odd moments whittling out a model of his invention. The Idea was that, by means of bellows, air could be forced under the ship to lift It free from Its difficulty. When the model was finished it was about twenty inches In length. He gave it a rather long and impres sive name. “An Improved Method for Lifting Vessels Over Shoals." He sent it to Washington and ap plied for a patent. It was granted by the issuance of No. 6460, and the model Lincoln built can be seen today in the Patent Office in Washington. Cotton Market (By John F. Clark & Co.)
