Ho was for a short time a lod man lor the Hailem load, and then, at the aire of 17 yeais, was apprenticed to the AM, ue machine woiks ot New York. While In that c.i-p.ultv he devoted his spate moments to the studj of phjsles, tlius laying the Inundation of his inientiie skill It was while he was still in the employ of tho Alllaie company that he invented the turnout! steam shut-off. He had noticed In his woik that theio appealed to be a defect In a statlonaiy engine and he set about temediliiR it. The result was the lnientlon.

It was a eiy Kieat device, for it educed the epeiis.e of fuel one-half and doubled the power of the steam ttnplojed He seemed a patent on his Invention in Ma IsiO.

The coitus lefused the Injunctions on grounds of public policy. Had ho been successlul Mr Slckels would have been woith millions of dol-klis Mr. Slckels' second Rieat Invention was that known as the dllTeientlal motion. H. put pose was to apply it to the steeling of steam vessels.

Tho lnientlon, contiary to tho Reiieial title, was a success at the veiy lltst tilal. The patent on the dlfi'eiential motion was granted In ISIS.
