academy in 1856. Four years later he
entered the navy as an acting midship
man. He served throughout the war
with credit and gradually rose through
all the grades to the rank of captain,
which he has held since Septem Der,
1885. Had he not been retired he would
have soon reached the rank of commO-
dore and could have retired with a high
er title and increased pay, but his liter
airy labors were so pressing that he de-
cided not to wait.
Captain Mahan has had about Is
years actual sea service out Of the 40
during which he has been in the navy.
For many years he was president of the
naval war college at Newport, and it
was while preparing a course Of lectures
on the influence of sea power upon the
history Of the world that he conceived
the idea of writing the work which has
brought him such high honors and 50
much distinction. His works have been
transla lated into both French and German
and are regarded by at least four great
nations as standard books of history.
He also wrote 1.-THE Gulf and Inland
Waters, - a history of the movements of
our navy during the civil war, and the
Life of Admiral Farragut - He is
now preparing a volume on the war Of
1912, which will also cover the chief
exploits in the active career of Lord Mel
son.
When Captain Mahan visited Lon
don, in 1894, in command of the Chi
cago, he received notable ovation from
the British public, and degrees were
conferred on him by both Oxford and
Cambridge universities.

GOTHAM'S NEW MOTORS.
Used on the Brooklyn Bridge With
Great Success

New York, Dec 8.-The first Of the
new electric motors built by the Pull
man company were used on the Brook
lyn bridge on Sunday.
Eight trains were operated by the
new system and at nightfau it was
pronounced a thorough success. The
new motors are constructed like pas
senger coaches. the only noticeable diff
ference being upon the platform. where
there is an appliance for governing the
motor instead Of the former grip wheels.
Each motor is operated by one man
with far greater ease than the cable
cars, and in addition the switching is
done with greater speed There are 20
of the new cars ready for service.
