ADAMS, Frederick Upham:
Inventor; born Boston in 1859 and is therefore of an age when the typical New England man of letters may be expected to begin his best work; on his father's side he is of the famous Massachusetts family of Adams; his mother was a Smith, directly descended from the grandfather of Mme. Jumel; his father, John S. Adams, was an inventor of acknowledged genius; at the close of the War of the Rebellion the family moved from Massa- chusetts to Elgin, Ill., where the subject of this sketch was educated in the public schools; his boyhood was a healthy, vig- orous, normal life, with enough of hard work and plenty of strenuous play; ex- celled in athletic sports; father placed him in a machine shop, where he worked two years; then became the reporter of a local paper; in spare hours he studied drafting and the designing of machinery; had little difficulty in obtaining a position as drafts- man in the office of a well known Chi- cago patent office attorney; soon became recognized as one of the most ingenious designers of machinery in the West; dur- ing the five years which followed, the future writer was engaged in solving the puzzling problems which arose in the in- vention of harvesting machinery, barbed wire, marine engines, hydraulic dredges, and the hundreds of devices evolved in mechanical progress; a threatened loss «of eyesight, due to overwork, compelled the young mechanical engineer to aban- don a profession in which he had already won a decided degree of success; in the summer of 1885 reporter on the Chicago Daily News; business complications arose which prevented as thorough a series of tests as had been planned, but enough was accomplished to demonstrate the ac- curacy of Mr. Adams' theories; with a small locomotive all records between Bal- timore and Washington were shattered, and on one occasion five miles were made in the unprecedented time of three min- utes; in 1894, in recognition of his com- prehensive grasp of mechanical subjects, Mr. Adams was appointed superintendent of the Department for the Suppression of the Smoke Nuisance in Chicago, which position he held with credit for three years; the plans he formulated are now being executed with every prospect that the greatest municipal curse of the West- ern metropolis will be reduced and final- ly abated; his reports and recommen- dations are accepted as authoritative, and have been widely translated.
