REMINGTON, Frederic:


Artist; born Canton, N. Y., 1861; was educated at the Yale Art School and the New York Art Students League; clerked in a store, lived as a cowboy and stock- man on a Western ranch and subse- quently became an illustrator for maga- zines. In Collier' Weekly Owen Wister has recently published


these words


about Mr. Remington: "Is it nec- essary to mention the things that


Remington stands for? No artist until Remington has undertaken to draw so clearly the history of the people. This is surely enough; but he stands for cer- tain other things, both great and definite. He has pictured the red man as no one else, to my thinking certainly, has pic- tured him. He has told his tragedy com- pletely. He has made up see at every stage this inferior race which our con- quering race has dispossessed, beginning with its primeval grandeur, and ending with its squalid degeneration under the influence of our civilized manners. Next, while recording the red man in this way, Remington has recorded the white man who encountered him-recorded this man also in every stage from dignity to sordid squalor. Pioneers, trappers, cowboys, miners, prospectors, gamblers, bandits- the whole motley rout goes ineffaceably into Remington's pages. And, finally, he has not forgotten Nature herself. The mystery of the untouched plains and the awe of the unscaled mountain heights have been set down by him not only truthfully, but with potent feeling and imagination. Remington is not merely an artist; he is a national treasure. And if ever it should occur to the not always discerning minds of academic institu- tions that Remington should be crowned at their hands, I should like to hear him receive his degree in these words: 'Fred- eric Remington, Draughtsman, Historian, Poet.' " Address, New Rochelle, N. Y.

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK.


RENWICK, Edward Sabine:


Mechanical engineer; born Jan. 3, 1823, in old Columbia College, formerly Kings College, in N. Y. City; he being one of the few persons born in that old building; son of James Renwick, LL.D., professor of chemistry and natural philosophy, and Margaret Ann Breevoort. He entered Columbia College in 1834, and graduated in 1839. His first employment was in iron manufacture, and in 1845 he became superintendent of the Wyoming Iron


Works at Wilkes Barre, Pa., where merchant iron, sheet iron, hoops, rods and nails were manufactured; in 1847 he put up a blast furnace at the same place in connection with his brother, H. B. Renwick. The manufacture of iron under the Walker tariff became unprofitable, and in 1849 Mr. Renwick went to Wash- ington and associated himself with Peter H. Watson (subsequently assistant secre- tary of war under President Lincoln) in the business of solicitor of patents and expert in patent causes. While thus en- gaged they jointly invented the original self-binding reaping machine, without which the present grain crops of the world could not be reaped; their inven- tions were patented in 1851 and 1853. The invention was twenty years in ad- vance of the age, and was ridiculed, al- though it has since come into enormous use; hence the inventors never were com- pensated for it. A complete break down in health compelled Mr. Renwick to give up professional business for several years; but in 1854 removed to New York and again resumed his profession, and has probably been engaged as expert in a greater number of patent causes than any other expert. Mr. Renwick has made many inventions; among them is that of encasing the tail shafts of twin propel- lers in cylindrical casings extended from the hull of the vessel to the after bear- ing; this is described in his English Pat- ents of 1862 and 1868, but did not come into use until the accident to the City of Paris many years later; now it is used on all the large twin propeller steam- ships. Mr. Renwick amused himself with artificial incubation and made many im- provements in incubators; he has also revolutionized the bringing up of chickens by the invention of the Brooder. Mr. Renwick's most notable achievement as an engineer was the repair of the Great Eastern steamship in 1862, plating over a fracture eighty-two feet long and ten feet broad on the turn of the bilge twen- ty-seven feet below water, while the ves-


sel was swinging at anchor in the rapid tide of the East River. He is the author of a work on Practical Inventions. He was married in 1862, to Alice Brevoort, and has three children. Address, 39 West 27th St., N. Y. City.
