A letter to Louvois by Louis XIV,
written in cipher, has been long in the
archives of the ministry of war and has
at length been deciphered. In it the
king orders Louvois to arrest General
de Burlonde for having raised the siege
of Cont without permission, to send
him to Pignerol and to conceal his
features under loup, or black velvet
mask. The order was executed, and the
presumption is therefore violent that the
Man In the Iron Mask"-it was black
velvet one with iron springs-was Gen
eral de Burlonde. The story TALES with
the known fact that the prisoner made
repeated attempts to communicate his
name to soldiers; that he was treated
with respect by his military jailers, and
that Louis XIV, who knew the truth of
the whole affair, declared it to be a mat
ter of no importance. The difficulty is
to discover the kings motive for such
precaution, but he may have feared dis
content among his great officers or the
soldiery. 1t must, however, be possible
to discover from the lists in the war

GENESIS OF THE STEAMBOAT.
Ancient Craft That Foreshadowed the
Modern Greyhounds of the Sea.

Ancient Craft That Foreshadowed the
Modern Greyhounds of the Sea-
The first steamboat was built by Den
mis- Papin, who navigated it safely down
the Fulda as long ago as 1907. Unfor-
tunately this pioneer craft was destroyed
by jealous sailors, and even the very
memory of 1t was lost for three-quarters
of a century. In 1915 Perrier, another
Frenchman, built an experimental steam
vessel at Paris. Eight years later, in
1883, Joutfroy took up the idea that had
been evolved by Papin and Perrier and
built steamer, which did good service
for some time on the Saone.
The first American to attempt to ap-
ply steam to navigation was John Fitch,
Connecticut mechanic, who made his
initial experiments in the year 1885. To
what extent Fitch was indebted to the
three illustrious French inventors named
above we are not informed, but that his
models We're original there is not the
least doubt. In the first he en-
ployed large pipe kettle for generating
the steam, the motive power being side
paddles worked after the fashion of oars
on common rowboat. In the second
Fitch craft the same mode OF propulsion
was adopted with the exception that the
paddles were made TO initiate a revolv-
ing wheel and were fixed to the stern
clearly foreshadowing the present stern
wheeler.
This last mentioned boat was the first
American steam vessel that can be pro
nOuncad a success. 1t made its first trip
to Burlington in July. 1888. But, after
all, 1T was not until after the opening of
the present century that steam naviga-
ton started into actual life. In 1907
Robert Fulton (who every school child
knows was an American), in conjunction
with one Robert r. Livingston. built the
Clermont, and established a regular
packet service between New York and
Albany.
The success of this undertaking was so
satisfactory that four new boats were
built before the end of 1911, at least two
of them being designed for service in 9th
er rivers.-St. Louis Republic.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN2
Is the Monroe Doctrine in Danger,
Or What?

Uncle Sam is congregating in
the harbor of Rio &c Janeiro the
most powerful American fleet ever
gathered in foreign waters. At
the same time the press dispatches
from Washington tell us that un-
usually long cable messages are
being received from that quarter
by the Navy Department. Cap
tain Picking is represented TO have
sent 1900 words in one day, and TO
have been replied to at almost
equal length, after earnest inter
views between certain members of
the Cabinet and the President.
There may be no trouble ahead,
bnt there is undoubtedly some
thing in the wind. Minister
Thompson appears to be set aside
as not strong enough to handle the
matters now pending, whatever
they may happen to be, and our
naval officers alone are consulted.
The dimensions of the fleet now at
Rio are certainly suspicious. The
San Francisco, Charleston, Detroit
and Newark were already there
without attracting special atten-
ton. but when orders were issued
for the New York to join them and
for The Miantonomah to proceed to
Trinidad and await further instruc-
tons. it became plain that Rio
harbor contained more Ct interest
for our people than they had sup
posed it did. So great display OF
strength at this time, at that point,
means something, though we do not
pretend to know what. The San
Francisco and the Newark are 1888
ton protected cruisers carrying each
twelve six-inch rifles with eighteen
pieces in the secondary battery.
The former has a trial-speed record
of over 20 knots and the latter of
10. The Charleston, of 1910 tons
and Is knots, carries two eight
inch and six six-inch rifles, with
eighteen pieces in the secondary
battery. The Detroit, of 1000 tons
and 49, knots, carries ten five
inch rapid-fire rifles, with eighteen
pieces in the secondary battery.
The $50 ton armored cruiser New
York, of 81 knots, is by far the
finest vessel we have in commits
sion, and with her six eight-inch
and twelve four-inch rifles in the
main battery, her armored bar
bettes, turrets and sides, her great
steaming radius, and her high
speed, she will be the crack ship of
war at Rio. The Miantonomah,
slow but powerful with her four
big ten-inch guns mounted in tur-
rets nearly foot thick. and with
her low armored sides making a
difficult mark to hit, completes the
array, unless, indeed, the report be
true that the gunboat Yorktown
has been ordered from European
waters to increase it. Winter usu-
ally sees the home squadron in
Gulf waters, and it would be inter-
esting to know why Rio is deemed
just now a more urgent rendezvous.
Is it only dress parade, or does it
mean business? Is the Monroe
doctrine in danger, or what's. +.
