North At the present time the press of the civilized worldâ€" resoundsâ€" with the triumph of a pathological discovery that has been worked out in Canada. Dr. F. G.â€" Banting, who has been credited with the major share of the discovery, has ‘been feted in many places and has been shown signal honâ€" ors by _his felliowâ€"countrymen. But insulin is not by any means the first of the revelations that have had their origin in Canada. The history of seience in fthis country is a stirring story of progress and pioneering into unknown paths. To many it will be a sunprise to learn that the first Atlanâ€" tic steamiboat was a product of Canâ€" ada. In 1833 the Royal William set out from â€" Quebec, called. at Pictu, Nova Seotia, for coal, and then made For Gravesend, England, where she arrived after steaming the entire disâ€" tance; and made the journey in sevenâ€" teen days. How Money Was Raised The story of this old doat dates back to a period when small steamers were the prineipal rivers of this continent and_ in Europe. Many were dreaming of the possibilâ€" ity of sending a boat across the Atâ€" lantic by steam, lbut the honor of beâ€" ng dirst falls to our Canada. ".:ei vessel was built at the Cove, just above Quebec, where General James Wolfe and his soldiers had landed Jjust â€" seventyâ€"two yvears â€" previously. Two hundred and thirtyâ€"five citizens of Qucibee and Halifax had subseribed towards the cost of construction. Amongst the list of these persons the names of Samuel, Henry and Joseph Cunard appear., Samuel Cunard went to England on the Royal William, and from his observations of the boat the famous Cunard line originated. samuel Cunard was born in Hallifax in 1787.
