Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overe thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized. When Gee Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. So it was a very difficult matter for Gee Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull 2 carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents. However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a plete success. 56. The word those in the first sentence refers to C. interests do big monopolies buy inventions? C. They want to make more money. of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson’s experiment? C. It would waste coal. 59.
