thus demonstrated the utility of the plan but for some years, in all the after : ttemps | to run locomotives on railways, either the wheels or the rails were fitted with cogs. All the inventions and experimenters exespt Stephenson,seemed possessed wi h the idea that smooth wheels and smo:th rails were incompatible, and that loads could not te} drawn with the smooth combination.

George Stephenson was the man who}

Tke father was com- pelied lo eupport a family of eight persons on twelve shillings, or three dollars per week. His position was fireman on a Newcomen engine, and at an early age George was set to work at two pence per | day, and gradually rose through successive steps to be assistant to his father, at one shilling aday. He set himself to work to understand the working of the engine, and his wages were finally raised to twelve shillings a week. On coming out of the oftice, after the announcement of the ad- vance in wages, he said to his fellow work- men: ‘‘I am now a made man for life.” At seventeen years of age he was placed in charge of an engine. Unlike the other men, who spent their half holidays in idle- ness or drinking, he would take apart his

engine, so as to full understand all its parts. Bis engine became a pet with him, |

I tired of watching and in- specting if. At the age of eighteen he could neither read nor write his own name. He had heard of the wonderful engines of Boulton & Watt, and that they could be found described in books, but the know- ledge was shut out from him as he could not read; and, although a full grown man, he was not ashamed to go to school, as soon as he felt that he could apare some of his earnings. He went to night school and made good progress. His plan was to work out his sums during apare minutes in the day, while attending to his engine, on a slate, and take it to the teacher at night for inspection. His wages was now about one pound or five dollars per week, and he added considerably to his income by mending or making shoes. During the time Stephenson had charge of the engine, William Fairbairn, afterwards President of the British Association, was! an apprentice engineer working near the same place. The two were fast friends ; and sometimes when Stephenson wanted to earn an extra penny by throwing cut ballast from thefhold of a collier, Fairbaira | would take his place atthe engine. At twenty, George Stephenson married, and in the course of housekeeping an eight Gay clock got out of repair, and he decermined to clean it himself. He took it apart, thoroughly mastered the details of the machinery of the clock, set it going afte r the necessary repairs, and after this added considerably to his earnings by repairing

ever

clocks for bis neighbors. His son, Robert, was born in 1803; and George, as is well known, edu-

cated himself and son in mathematics, general knowledge, and mechanical skiil, so that they took the foremost stand as engineers and inventors and _improvers « f steam -locomotives, and the designers and promoters of dithicult railway enterprises. The feats of engineering skill performed by the Stephensons astonished the prorid as they were completed, and = the world’s people still view them with wonder.
