Captain John Ericsson.
The VETERAN ENGINEER.

As long as the page of history exists,
which records the terrible naval combat
between the Monitor and the Merrimac,
so long will the name of John Ericsson be
known to posterity.
The 31st of July was his eightieth birth
day, which he celebrated by doing his
usual twelve hours of mental and manual
labor.
In the very heart Of Sweden there was
once little mining camp, and the place
is marked to-day as the birth place of the
great engineer. by granite shaft. which
bears this inscription in Swedish -
JOHN ERICSSON
was born here in 1908.
When but thirteen years of age. he was
one OF a corps of surveying engineers, and
had charge of a section of ship canal !;
his engineering ability having made itself
apparent, even at that early age. In 1926
he visited England, and has never since
returned tie Sweden. Upon his arrival in
England. he Immediately turned his at
tenlion to a series of experiments with the
steam engine, and in 1929, his locomotive.
the Novelty. was entered as competitor
against Stephenson's Rocket.
Captain Ericsson still claims that the
Novelty was the fastest motor. although
the Rocket was declared the winner.
His first propeller, the Francis B.
Ogden. met with so little favor in the eyes
of the British Admiralty, that he determ-
ined to try new field for operations, and
came to America in 1889.
He began at once the construction OF
war ships. The first was the Princeton,
and be reached the climax, in that line,
when he built the little ron-clad, Monitor,
which played such sad havoc with the
Confederate navy. During the past few
wears, he has devoted his time and energy
to the construction of his torpedo boat,
The Destroyer" and his sun-mofer en-
CINE. The latter is intended to irrigate
the sun burnt, topical regions on the earth
by utilizing the concentrated rays OF the
sun, and the atmosphere as motive power.
1t may be Of practical use to state the
methods employed by this hale old man.
for preserving his physical and mental
faculties from the usual ravages of time.
He rises at I O'Clock, winter and sum-
mer, takes cold bath. followed by gym
nastic exercises, which are continued for
two hours. AT nine, he takes substan
tiaI breakfast Of eggs. brown bread and
water, and devotes himself to practical
inventing or manual labor on previous in
ventions. until half-past four, when he eats
a hearty dinner. and again returns to his
drawing board, remaining there till ten,
at which time he starts out on two hours
walk.
He returns at II and falls into a sound
sleep almost as soon as his head touches
the pillow. He drinks nothing but weak
tea, milk and ice water and never uses
tobacco.
He is averse to any publicity which
takes him from the work in which he de-
lights. and though he gives a caller a
strong cordial grasp and welcomes him
in Il rich. deep voice. if he is by chance in
the reception room when he arrives. but
his secretary is speedily introduced if the
conversation becomes OF a personal char
acter.

list which provides for the extradition of
persons charged with conspiracy to murder
IS the one against which the United States
has most frequently protested, and which
covers the political offenseS which it has never
been willing to have embraced in extradi
