IT IS a ronmrknblo fact that some
or tbo Ktoati'st anil most useful
Inventions bnvo boon blttiTly op
poHi'il bv tbo vury pi'iKons whom
tliuv were iIuhIkiumI to help. The
bowmen of oblen time resented
the Introduction of kuiih: the xt:ino
coach lines tried In every way to
block the bnlldliiK of railway; and
Kilns Howe, the Inventor ot one
of the greatest lnbor saving devices
In the world, the sewing mncblne.
was ridiculed, dlsconniKed. and de
nounced r.s an enemy of poor how
Iiik women, the ones whose toll he
was seeking to lighten. They Im
agined that with the Introduction
of the sowing machine their occu
pation would be taken awny.
ICIIiih Ilowo was born In Spencer.
Massachusetts, on July 'J. IS 10, one
of a family of elht children. His
father was a fnriner and miller, nnd
Kilns' early years were spent In the
mill. At the same time lie manni;
cd to pick up a snintterliiK ot edu
cation. He went to Lowell. Massachusetts,
In IS!!.'., to work In n cotton mill.
Two years later ho obtained a place
In a CanibridKo machine shop In
which his cousin, Nathaniel 1'.
Hanks, nfterwnrd (Jovornor of Mass
achusetts, was also employed.
Ilowo married at the ai;e of twen
ty-one and moved to lloston. It
was there that the first norms of
his grunt idea became implanted In
bis brain. To Increase the family
Income his wife did sewing at night.
As Howe watched her slowly and
laboriously HtlcliliiK a seam, his In
ventive mind sought and sought for
some wny to decrease her toll. Ilo
had a natural bent for mechanics,
and It was not long before be had
constructed the first emtio sewing
machine.
This was in October, 1SII. Hut
although be now had his idea, ho
lacked money to mivo Its value.
However, a man named KIsher in
Cambridge liked bis invention, and
agreed to board Howe and bis family
and to advance $"00 In return for
half Interest in the patent. Hy the
middle of the next May Ilowo had
constructed a machine that did sew
ing which promised to outlast the
cloth.
Hut the Invention wns opposed
everywhere In America. Finally, In
IS Hi, Howe's brother. Amasa. went
to Kugland, nnd managed to sell the
Kugllsh rights in the machine for
ILTiO to n William Thomas. This
man also gave Kilns Ilowo a place In
his factory at ?lu a week. Hut lie
treated the Inventor shamefully and
Howe threw up the situation. He
sent bis family back to America
abend of him, and then returned him
self. He lnndetl In New York with
less than a dollar In his pocket and
wns met with the news that his wife
was dying of consumption In Cam
bridge. He managed to borrow some
money and reached her side Just be
fore she tiled.
These were Howe's darkest dnys.
Imitations of his mncblne were In
fringing on his patent, and he had
to begin several suits to estnbllsh his
rights. He and another man now
commenced to mnmn'nrtiiro sewing
machines in n small wny. It wns
during this time thnt the "sewing
machine riots" took place, but soon
the real value of the Invention was
seen, and nil opposition censed.
Hrlghter times began for the In
ventor. He won his patent suits,
and by ISC'! bis royalties were esti
mated at $4,000 n day. At the Paris
Kxposltlon of 1SG7 he wns awarded
( gold medal and the ribbon of tbo
l.eglon of Honor. Hla last years
were happy ones. He died on Octob
er :t, 1SIS7.

The minutes passed slowly. The
crowd stirred restlessly. Hut at
last came that for which they were
waning. i ne instrument moveu,
nnd then began nu Irregular click
ing
"What hath God wrought!"
This was the message thnt the In-
tn it. spelled out, and this wns
the message that proved to the
waiting crowd that Morse's dream or
telegraphy had become u realltv.
Samuel Kluley Hreese Morse wns
horn nt (Miaiiestown. .Massachusetts,
on April 1'7. 1 7 i 1 . He wns the sou
of the Itev. .lededlalt Morse, and the
gioat grandson of Samuel I'lnlev.
the imond president of Hie College
or Now Jersey at Princeton.
Morso entered Yule nt the age of
lourteen, which was not considered
extremely young In those da vs. It
was there thai he llrst began the
study of electricity. Hut his instes
leil him more Htrongly toward nit
thi;n toward sclcnie, and In isn
the young graduate been mo the
pupil of Washington Altstou nnd
went with him to Knglnnd. Here he
remained four years, distinguishing
himself with his brush and making
many friends.
inning the next row vears the
young artist traveled about New
ICngland painting portraits ror tbo
sum or :fir. apiece. Later be In
creased his price to $titi a portrait,
doing nu average of four a week.
Hy tho money he thus earned he
was enabled to marry Miss l.ucretla
P. Walker on October li, ISIS.
In 1SU5 Morse was one or the
rounders of tho National Atademv
of Design, ami was Its llrst presi
dent, from IS'.'d until IS in. He
niaile u second visit to Murope in
IX1!!!. and traveled about the Con
tinent tor three years before return
ing to New York.
During nil this time, however,
while he was working at his art,
Morses mind had also been occn
pled with another Interest That
was olectro-iuagiietlsni, and the pos
Hlhlllty of communication between

against poverty and discouragement
before be could get any apparatus
that would work. Finally, however,
he wns successful In this, nnd nfter
taking out a patent applied to Con
gress for money to experiment with
the telegraph over a circuit of Hiif
riclent length to test Its iinssllillltv
and value. Arter long tlelnv be was
at Inst granted this In 1843. A

Washington, and on Muv 2 1, 1 844,
