THE MONITOR INVENTOR.
Death Of John Ericsson at Ripe
Old Age in New York.

John Ericsson, inventor, engineer and
builder of the celebrated iron clad Monitor,
died the other day in New Y ork in his eighty
sixth year. His end was absolutely painless.
John Ericsson was born July 81, 1903, in
Wermland, Sweden His father was an iron
master, and his mother mine owners
daughter. At the age of ten John con-
structed a miniature saw mill and pumping
machine, the merits of which attracted the
attention of Count Platen, then chief
of the great Swedish ship canal From
that time the boy made rapid strides in
scientific development. When twelve
years old he entered the Swedish
naval forces as a cadet of mechanical engi-
neers. At seventeen he was an ensign and
at twenty-five he was a Lieutenant. After
constructing a flame engine of ten-horss
power he went to London to produce it. He
then resigned his commission and was pro-
NOTED Captain in recognition of his great
merit. He has not returned to his native
country since. His countrymen, however,
erected in 1867, 4 huge granite monument,
built by unpaid labor, in acknowledgment of
his eminent scientific services.
During his residence in England Captain
Ericsson invented about forty machines of
various kinds. He won many prizes, and his
achievements created the greatest surprise
among the scientists of the day.
In 1889 Ericsson came to the United States,
where his fame had already preceded him.
His first great work here was to build the
Princeton. the first naval vessel that ever
carried her machinery below the water line
and beyond the reach of hostile shot. 1t
changed the whole system of naval architec-
ture. But his next device was even greater.
1t was in the form of turret ship. the plans
of which were offered to Napoleon Ill in
1854 It was upon those plans with improve
ments) that the celebrated iron clad Monitor
was constructed in 1861. Her performance
elected the admiration of the whole civilized
world. Six others were constructed upon the
same type and Russia. Sweden, Norway and
Turkey adopted the American turret system.
After the close of the war Ericsson devoted
his gsnius to devising plan for destroying
the great naval structures his energy had
built up. This invention he pro ossd to call
the Destroyer. through the agef cy of which
species of submarine warfare was to have
been DEVELOPED It's pracIicabiIty has not
yet been finally demonstrated.
The sun motor was his latest idea, its prin-
ciple being the utilization of solar heat
through mechanical agency. Upon this in
vention ne was engaged when taken sick
This does not represent by any means the
whole work upon which he was engaged.
Dozens of other inventions, TO describe which
would fill many volumes, have employed his
time

FIFTY IDLE MILLS.
Over Nine ThousandW Strike
at Fall River, Mass.


The weavers' strike for an advance in
wages, which has occurred at Fall River,
Mass, was one of the most general in the
history of labor troubles. The weaving de-
partments of fifty mills were practically
shut down.
Between nine and ten thousand weavers
were out on strike and in consequence fifty
five thousand looms were idle, and the manu-
featuring plant representing s25, 100000 was
rendered unproductive
The disaffectiOn which resulted in the shut
down, with a single exception, OF every fac
tory in the city, numbering about fifty, be-
gan on January II, 1883 when the last gen.
eral advance was made.
Those who refused to strike did not alto
gether number more than half enough to
keep one mill going. The extent of the
strike was quite surprise to the manufac
turers VINO expected that only few mills in
the outskirts would be involved.
They thought the help would be so much
divided as to the wisdom of strike that the
circumstances would dlsOrganlZe the move
ment in few days.
The operatives were very much pleased at
the unanimous sentiment of resistance dis
played in their ranks, and predicted an early
victory. They claimed that they could afford
to maintain the strike. 1t was the prevailing
impression that the manufacturers could
give an advance at present prices for cloth,
and could ill afford to curta1 production for
even a short period.
The Board of Trade said, however, that no
advance would be given, and bitter strug-
gle was anticipated.
Three thousand weavers met in mass meet
ing in the park. Reports to the Executive
COMMITTEES of the union showed that the
weavers in every print cloth mill in the city
had quit work and that the strike was
general.

sure when removing the tlannels from
one water to another that each sue
cessive water is hotter than the last
never any colder.
If you wish to restore the color Of

Chocolate Icing-Put into saucepan
half pound of powdered loaf sugar,
two ounces of grated chocolate, and
about gill of water. Str on the fire
until the mixture assumes the consistency
of thick smooth cream. ay the icing
evenly on the cake or pastry, with a
palette-knife, and put it into the oven
for minute or two to set the icing.
Vegetable Soup-This is what the
French call "Soup Maigre:" Take one
turnip (if small, one each of yellow
and white variety, one large onion,
medium sized carr OF, two large potatoes,
several stalks of celery, and some sprigE
of parsley, and, after peeling and wash
ing, put them in the chopping bowl and
mince fine. Put tablespoonful of but
ter in the soup kettle, and when melted
add the vegetables. Fry slightly for
five minutes, but do not brown; cover
with two quarts of boiling water and
simmer for one hour. Now add pint
of hot milk and half pint of hot cream,
and season to the taste. 1t will require
considerable salt. Serve with thin wafer
crackers, and sec if your family or
guests do not call for a second plate.
Mock Bisque Soup-Put quart OF
either freshly peeled or canned tomatoes
on the fire to stew; heat three pints oil
milk in double boiler, reserving cup
full to mix large tablespoonful of flour
with. AS soon as the milk boils, stir In
this flour, which must be smoothly mixed
with the cold milk, and let it simmer
ten minutes Add butter the size of an
egg, pepper, salt, and a very scant tea.
spoonful OF baking soda to the tomatoesI
rub through strainer and add to thu
milk. Serve at once, and if there is to
be any delay in so doing, do not add the
tomatoes to the milk until you are ready
to send to the table. This is delicious
and cheap soup, as skinned milk may
be used, although it is not quite So good.
Put little dices of fried bread in the
tureen, or sprinkle chopped parsley in
the soup just before removing it from
the fire.
Boston Baked Beans-Pick out and
wash one quart of small white beans, put
them into deep earthen dish, cover
with cold water and place on the cool
part of the stove until they are quito
swelled; then move the dish to the hott
part of the stove and allow the beans

place one pound of scalded and scored

of boiling water with one cup of mo-
lasses, one teaspoonful of salt and a half
teaspoonful Of soda; pour this over the
beans and bake in a moderate oven for
two hours, adding little boiling water
from time to time to prevent the beans
from becoming dry. Finish by slightly
browning the top. The beans are geDer-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.


A Russian analyst gives the following
as test by which tea can be proved TO
be genuine or not: Take pinch of tea
in glass, pour upon it little cold
water and we'll snake it up. Pure tea
will only slightly color the water, while
a strong infusion is quickly got from the
adulterated or painted leaf Now boil
both sorts separately, and let them stand
till cool, and the difference between
them will be most marked. The false
tea will become still stronger after long
standing, but will remain Transparent
Whereas the pure tea will become muddy
or milky. This last appearance arises
from the fannie acid which is natural
property in pure tea, but which in arti-
fetal tea is entirely absent.

run rain or shine. Communication by
wire to New York and all over the
country will be stopped on and after to-
day on all race days. This move on the
part of the racing association has long

that the pool rooms interfere to a large
extent with the attendance at the track.
At some of the pool rooms the details Of
the races are given and the facilities for
betting are quite as good as those at the
track. PrOprietors of several pool rooms
in New York say the racing association
is under contract to furnish the result Of
the races out of town and that they cam
not afford to break the contract.
