SWEDEN'S GREAT son.
Ericssons Wonderful Feats As Ar
Engineer.
FIVE DISTINCT SUCCESSES

Today the naval establishment of the United
States is paying tribute to the memory of q
Scandinavian by birth. an American by adop-
ton. man OF whom it may be truly said tina,
he left his impress upon every part of the civil
lied world.
The flags are at half-mast and the minute
guns have been fired. the President has Off
cially announced. in recognition of the debt
We owe to Sweden for the gift of Ericsson.
whose genius rendered us the highest service
In moment of grave peril AMI anxiety"
Although Ericsson successfully revolution
lied the methods Of marine warfare at a criti-
cal time in the history of his adopted country
il was after ne had added materially TO the
progress of steam navigation in the time OF
peace. for at Liverpool. twenty-five years be-
fore. he had demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the English ship builders that the screw pro-
peller was practical and efficient for ocean and
inland navigation.
FIVE SUCCESSES.
EricssOn's career as an engineer may be said
to have been marked by five distinct successes.
First. When at the age of twenty-six he de-
signed and superintendent the construction of
the steam locomotive. Novelty" which COM
peied with StephensOn's Rocket at tine Rain
hill prize contest in 1929 and developed high
speed and other qualities which many en-
Elneers believed emitted 1t TO the prize which
II failed to secure.
Second. When at the age of thirty
six he placed the screw astern of
the Archimedes. steamboat 20 feet long.
and demonstrated its ability to tow four
loaded coal barges on the Thames at a speed
of seven miles an hour. and this experiment
was followed i'll the next five years by the COM
pletion of forty commercial vessels run
ming upon the great lakes and along the coast"
experiments which eliminated III the intro
duction of the screw propeller in the United
States navy In 1874. when the Princeton. de-
signed and constructed by Ericsson, was COM
pleted and put under commission.

ENGLAND AND THE VATICAN.
Warm Reception of AN English Repre-
sentative by the Pope.

Sir Lintorn Simmons. the delegate of the
British government who was accredited to ar
range the settlement OF the church questions
of Malta, was treated with great cordially
during his visit TO the vatican, and this has
caused a good deal of comment. When the
British envoy was first presented his holiness
the pope rose from his chair OF state. came
forward to meet him and shook him warmly by
the hand.
In accordance with the usual rules OF
etiquette at the court of Rome the pope re-
ceiyes all persons. even monarchs. seated, So
that very unusual honor shown to the
representative of England.

Revival Of the Whaling Towns.

From the Providence Journal.
An interesting and gratifying disclosure Of
the census is that of the revival of the old
whaling towns The whale fishery centers,
where once the coming and going of busy
ships gave lively air of industry to the
wharves and streets, felt the decadence OF
this fishery as an almost fatal blow, and in
the decades Immediately succeeding the
fifties remained sorrowful monuments to a
great industrys decay. Now, however, they
seem to be recovering their old-time energy,
and it is not unlikely that an inheritance OF
the same enterprise which characterized them
in the past will once more push them steadily
forward. New Bedford, formerly the greatest
whaling port on the whole coast, now boasts a
population Of Al, 044, a gain of more than so
per cent ince 1880, and New London, the second
port in Importance, has gained some 30 per
capt or more in the same time.

RUBINSTEIN AND BERNHARDT.
Mr.. Abbey May Bring the Musician and
the Tragedienne to America.

Henry E. Abbey has offered to Anton Rubin
stein, the composer and pianist 100000 for a
tour through America during the coming sea-
son. Rubinstein is undecided whether to ac-
cept or not, as he is afraid of tho fatigue of
the long journeys. He is about to resign the
post as director of the Imperial Conservatoire
at st. Petersburg.
Mr.. Abbey has also completed his arrange

who will make a tour through the states. The
play on which she will rely is the new drama

salutat,on Is Enough This weather


A down town physician advises: Dur
ing the hot weather we are having now
people should be careful with whom
they shake hands,, The moisture from
one hand may possess the poison from a
disease. The pores of the skin are open
and this poison may be communicated
easily. There isn't much sense In this
indiscriminate hand shaking, anyway.
The Americans indulge too much In
the habit. We shake hands with every
stranger to whom we may be intro.
duced, and shake hands again five min
utes later on separation. We perhaps
never see the person again, and have nc
interest in that person beyond being
civil out of compliment to the one who
introduces. This indiscriminate hand
shake is nuisance, and besides, as
said at the start, it is dangerous thi
sort of weather. Chicago Tribune.

A white flannel suit is becoming to
some men, comfortable this weather for
any man, and it is one Of those aesthetic
cases which gem the desert Of monotony
in masculine attire. But the white
flannel suit despite its dazzling luster
and its GOODNESS has its drawbacks.
The other day young man, whom ]
do not know, attracted my attention by
Che sheen Of his raimsnt. he wore q
white flannel suit, and in the blazing
sunshine he walked an exception to the
rule, a cool looking man. was behind
him, but as he strolled along the street
slowly l gradually caught up with him.
As came close 1 noticed that q black
line extended across the back Of his coat
diagonally from his left shoulder. A
strange place to put seam and 80 con-
spicuously, thought.
% The black line, like q fly on a bald
mans head, fascinated me. As / drew
closer and closer to it Iwas puzzled still
more, for I discovered that the line was
.wavy and, abruptly ended about three
inches from the edge of the sack coat
Then all at once I recognized the true
nature Of the line--it was long ripping

Here are few amusing blunders that
have just occurred in examinations in
Boston public schools: One little girl
said that ''in 1920 the Pilgrims came to
Massachusetts for the purpose Of fight
ing the battle Of Bunker HILL" Another
said: "In 1852 William Penn explored
Pennsylvania with crew of Quakers.
In another paper small boy, who had
evidently heard that the English people
were fond of meats, said that Of all the
countries he had rather visit England
because he would like to see the Thames
river and the beef eaters. Ef79f1 II
