This unhtane is the air, it is invisible; so'that we see nothing'i 'the space which it occupies; and we do not fe< it on a calm day, when we are moving slowj because it is so extremely light, and its partick strike the face so gently and at comparativel -long intervals. But when we move fast, th Particles of air strike with a great impetus, anl nce produce a decided impression.

Although * this h6tdor has so generally been ascribed to Y Robert Fulton, yet it is a well known fact, d that trenty years before the great experi. dY e ment of Fulton and Livingston on the Hud e son, a steamboat was constructed ahi put l1 in operation in Phiadelphia, under the sole e direction of a then obscure and still almost a unknown individual. This person was John . Fitch. lie was born in the sotith part of a East Windsor, near the East Hartford line, on what is now called the old road. -1le was apprenticed as a watch and clock ma ker, to Mr. Cheney, who carried on the bu siness in the eastern par'or East Hartford, now Manchester. When New Jersey was overrun by the Drilishi troUps, Mr. Fitch re moved into the aittaior of Pennsylvania, where he etnployed himself in repairing for the Continental army. In the year 1785, 1r, Fitch conceived the project of propelling a vessel by the force of condensed vapor. "When the idea bccur red to him, as he himself tells its he did not know there was such a thing as a steam engine in existence." In 1778 he obtained a patent for the application of steam to na vigation. By unwearied exertion he suc ceeded in interesting about twenty persons in his plan, and inducing them to take shares of 850 eaei. A boat was built in 1778. A mile was measured off in front of Water street, and the boat was found to go at the rate of eight miles an hour. It afterwards went eighty miles in a day. The Goverinr and Council of Pennsylvania were so much gratified with the experiment, that they pre. sented them with a superb silk flag. About this time the company sent Mr. F to France, at the request of Mr. Vait, our Consul at L'Orient, iAhto wasone of thecompany, and wished to introduce the invention into France. Being in the midst of revolutions in that count.v, ant' as no men could be ob tainied for the purpose of building boats,3Mr. F itch returned. "ar, V. t, papers and designs of he steamboat ni. rtaining to the compa ny." Ii 1790, lie im de an alteration in his boat and she pierfwned tolerably well, but still it required further alterations. Mr. Fitch however was not able to obtain the necessary means in order td perfect his in vention. The conviction of Fitch respecting the power of sitam coutinued firm In June, 1792, he addressed a letter to Mr. Ritten house, one of the share-holders; speaking of steam power, he sail "This, sir, will be the mode of crossing the Atlantic in time, whether 1 shall bring it to perfection or not. Ile complains of his poverty, and to raise funds, he urges Mr. Rittenhouse to buy his lands in Kentucky, that he might have the honor of enabling him to complete the great undertaking." Upononeoccasion he called upon a smith who hdd worked upon his boat, aud after dwelling for someI time upon his favorite topic, concluded with these words: "Well, gentlemen, although I shull not live to see the time, you will, when steambouis nill be preferred to all other means of conveyance, and especiatly for passengers, and they will be particularly useful in the navigation of the river 5Missis sippi." lie retired, when a person present observed, in a tone of sympathy, " oor Ifellou., u-hat a pitg it is hie ia crazy." " The distress of mind and mortification h le sull'ered from the failure of his protracted exertions and his poverty were too much for him, and to drown his reflection, he had re courso to the common but dIecep tive remedy, st rong drink, in which ho indulged to excess ; and retiring to Pittsburg, ho ended his days by plunging into the Alleghany."* lie hi filled several small MS. books with personal and getneral narrative, more or less connected with his great semre, and whsich heo lbe queathed to the Philadelphia Library, with Sthe proviso that they were to remain closed for thirty years. The books were opened in -due time, atnd were fhud to contain a minute accont of hsis p~erplexitie~s and disappoint Kments.
