His father being engaged in mechanical pursuits,
the son early evinced a remarkable taste for the
same occupation, and before he was ten years Of
aue he had constructed several conrvances which
would have been creditable to older heads ln
1914 he was appointed to cadetship in the corps
Of engineers in the Swedish army, and while in
that position was several times made supervisor
Of important trusts, although several officers out
ranked him both in age aud position. In 1926 he
visited England, and proceeded to construct sew
eral new engines Of his own invention, which met
with wonderful success, 10 the fall Of 1929, the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway having offered
prize for the best locomotive engine, to be tested
on their road, Mr.. Ericsson constructed the Nov
elty steam carriage, which darted along at tht
rate Of City miles an hour. to tho uubounded nd
miratiou and applause Of the spectators. Ho al

which proved to be successful inventions HI
