Causes of Obesity.

the application of his treatment varied ac-
cording to the conditions of each individ-
ual case. The great primary thing in each
case was to discover the condition of the

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Eor some reason
John Ericsson the inventor of the monitor
type of gunboats, and the DESTROYER, which
recently went to Brazil to help wage the sea
battles of PeiXoto, determined when the lat
ter fighting machine was under way to keen
its buildinga secret from the public. Accord
ingly he had the boat built in sections mt a
certain well known iron works, whence it
was taken and put together in shipyard
on the North river, this city. Despite all
his precautions, however, some inkling of
the matter got out, and half dozen MIN
BILE witted young newspaper reporters bent
their energies to the task of discovering the
details of the inventors latest scheme Sue
cess finally crowned the efforts of one who
has since graduated into the ranks of the
managing editors, and this discovery was
one of his earliest and longest steps in the
right direction
1t was on Saturday afternoon that he dis
covered thata new vessel had been launched
from one of the North river yards 1t was
small and might be a steam yacht He
could not then get near enough to the boat
to discover more than this, but that night
he put in an appearance and soon struck
up an acquaintance with the night watch
man of the yard. The reporters pockets
were filled with cigars, several of which
were transferred to the Waterman quite
early in the evening. There was also some
worshiping at the shrine of Bacchus, and
when the reporter proposed to the watch
man tour through the yard the custodian
yielded ready assent. After little the
Waterman volunteered some information
about the boat that had been lately launch
ed and for "a consideration rowed the re-
porter out to where she lay ut anchor
1t did not take the inquisitive young
journalist long, after he had boarded the
strange craft, to learn that he had found
what he had been searching for. and he de-
voted all the time left before daylight to
the examination of the heat. the measuring
of its parts and Il close study of all it's de-
tails. When ut last he left the boat, he
felt we'll repaid for his time, labor and trou-
BILE, and the three column article published
in the paper to which he was attached q
day or two later was one of the beats of the
year. Ericsson was very angry at first and
for some years would not speak to the re-
porter or give him any information. but
before the inventors death all differences
were patched up and the two became friends
