Engle, whose scientific and mechanical inventions have given him national if not world wide fame, was born in Sugarloaf township, Luzerne county, Pa., December 18th, 1837. When young he enjoyed no other advantages for education than were afforded by the common schools of that day, but he has been an inveterate reader, especially of scientific works, and has thus acquired rare intelligence. Since arriving at maturity he has been a resident of Hazleton, in his native country, where he married a daughter of Joseph Greenawalt, Esq., a wealthy and public ally spirited citizen of that borough. When the rebels entered Pennsylvania in 1863 Mr. Engle served with the "emergency men" until the soil of his native state was no longer pressed by hostile feet. Mr. Engle's father was a watchmaker as well as a farmer, and the subject of this sketch became the leading watchmaker and jeweler of Hazleton. He also studied and for a number of years practiced dentistry in connection with his business as a jeweler. One of his inventions is "Engle's Patent for securing Porcelain Teeth to Gold or Silver Plates." The "Association for the Protection of the Rights of Dentists" officially approved this device and hastened to secure an assignment and abandonment to the public of the patent. Another invention of intrinsic worth is "Engle's Dust Proof Case," affording such protection to the movement as would not now be dispensed with by manufacturers of the best watches. The first astronomical, musical and apostolic clock ever built in the United States was invented and built by Mr. Engle, and it has never been equaled in automatic wonders, or in the scientific accuracy of the astronomical mechanism. So absorbed was Mr. Engle in the construction of this clock that he afterwards wrote to a friend: "During the last year before its completion I had no night or day, but slept when I was sleepy and ate when I was hungry, without any regret to old Sol." It was perhaps fortunate for him that he was a disciple of Nimrod and Izaak Walton, for without the recreation found in his hunting and fishing excursions he would probably have succumbed long ago to an excess of brain work and confinement to rooms filled with machinery, crucibles, metals and acids. Captain Jacob Reid has exhibited this clock to crowded houses in every part of the country and Canada. A description of this grand piece of mechanism, with its forth-eight moving figures, its movements illustrating day and night, changes of seasons, ebbing and flowing of tides and other phenomena, cannot here be given. Suffice to say that everywhere the press was loud in its praise. While Joel Cook, Esq., one of the editors of the Public Ledger, of Philadelphia, was visiting Strasburg in 1878, he saw the renowned Strasburg clock, and in his book entitled "A Holiday Trip to Europe" he makes the following comparison: "The Engle clock, which has been exhibited in Philadelphia, is not so large, and yet does all that this clock does, and much more, and does it better." The latest invention of Mr. Engle is "Engle's Tellurion." For illustrating celestial as well as terrestrial phenomena this is far in advance of any apparatus hitherto constructed. It is the only apparatus yet in existence that shows the true motion of the earth around the sun in an actual ellipse. The parallelism of the axis is at all times preserved and all the phenomena of the changes of day and night and of the seasons, the greater length of time the sun remains in the north than south of the equator, etc., etc., are clearly shown. This instrument shows the length of day and night at any season of the year in any latitude, as well as the heavenly constellations visible at any hour in any and every season of the year. The moon is seen in its gibbons and crescent phases as well as with full enlightened hemisphere and in total darkness, its place being in a mask or hollow hemisphere with the convex surface thereof black. This invention has attracted the attention of astronomers and teachers, and it is believed that nearly all the best institutions of learning in the land will possess themselves of it when it becomes an article of manufacture and sale. Parties have endeavored to negotiate with Mr. Engle with a view to the manufacture of this improved tellurion, but the inventor has thus far been engaged during his leisure moments in considering further improvements in the machinery and has not entertained any of these propositions. Stephen D. Engle is universally recognized by his neighbors as an upright, honorable, and kind-hearted man. No case of suffering or distress ever came to his knowledge without enlisting his sympathy, and to awaken his sympathy is to open his purse strings. GEORGE HUGHES.
