[t was in 1763; when he was twenty-eight and had the ppointment of mathematical- instrument maker to the University of Glasgow, that a model of New- comen's steam pumping engine was brought into his shop for repairs, One can perhaps imagine the fecl- ings with which James Watt, inter- ested from his youth in mechanical and scientific instruments, partic- ularly those which dealt with steam, regarded this Newcomen engine. Now his interest was vastly quick- ened. He set up the model and oper- ated it, noticed how the alternate heating and cooling of its cylinder wasted power, and concluded, after some weeks of experiment, that, in order to make the engine practic- able, the cylinder must be kept lot, "always as hot'as the steam which entered'it." Yet in order to condense the stcam_ there must be a cooling rr = it of the vessel. The problem was to reconcile these two conditions, At length the pregnant idea oc- him--the idea of the separate condenser. It came to him on a Sunday afternoon in 1765, as he walked across Glasgow Green. If the steam were condensed in a vessel separate from the cylinder, it would be quite possible to keep the con- densirg vessel cool and the cylinder hot at the same time. Next morning Watt began to put his scheme to the test and found it practicable. He de- ideas and applied them: So at last was born a steam engine that would work and multi- ply man's energies a thousandfold, --From "The Age of Invention," by Holkwod Thompson, Little Possum With aad Millions Of Friends When the Washington Star jug- ~elag fits come strips recently to Tnake room for 'a new one, - the editors worried not a bit about dropping an odd little strip from the top of the page.
