Was Driven From Europe to America
by Lack Os Due RecOgDi-
ton.

Today is the Tooth anniversary of
the birth of John Ericsson and is be-
ing observed as such with special eX-
ercises in many parts of the United
States. The ceremonies in this con-
nection were held here last week, on
account of the inability of President
Andreen, of Augustana college to be
present today, when the celebration
would otherwise have taken place
The following facts concerning the
life of this great Swedish inventor
were furnished The Argus by DR.. An
dreen:
John Ericsson was born in Werm-
land, near Filipstad, July 81, 1902.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-07-31

From the very first he exhibited the
qualities which distinguished him in
later life. The machinery at the
mines was to him an endless source of
wonder and delight. BY them he
would stay all day, seeking to dis
cover the principles of motion. striv-
ing to copy their forms, even then
drawing, planning, constructing.
Ericsson's father furnished, in spite
of his poverty, his children with Il
private tutor. But the great school
of engineering his son John attended
was the Gotta canal then being built
across Sweden from sea to sea.
Met Skilled Engineer.
The best mechanical skill and ma
chinery the world had was brought
together here. The Swedish, French
and English mechanics who saw the
genius of the boy, instructed him by
private lessons. 1t seems almost in
credible that before he was ii years
old, 600 men labored on the canal I'M
der his direction, though he was still
too small to reach the eyepiece of his
leveling instrument without the aid
of a stool carried by his attendant.
When he felt that the north did not
offer enough opportunities for his in
genuity, he started in 1926 for Eng
land. Here his invention of the
steam fire engine i'm 1928 proved a
success on its first trial. The confa-
grafton at the Argyle rooms gave OPP
portunity for proving in practice its
superiority over the engines then in
Nil no
pumps froze, but the Ericsson steam
er worked necessarily for five hours
without a hitch, throwing its stream
away over the dome of the building.
Yet there was great opposition
against its introduction. The oppon-
ents said it took too long to bring it
into operation, was too dangerous.
would run over people, was too heavy,
consumed too much water. The regu-
lar fire bigade annoyed in every
way, cut the hose loose, etc, so that
Ericsson had to yield for the time be
ing.
As early as 1888 he was occupied
with the invention of the screw pro-
peIler. In 1867 he made the first di-
rect-acting screw propeller ever built.
In 1887 Ericsson invited the lords of
the British admiralty to make a test
of his experimental steamboat. To his
utter astonishment even so scientific
a parsonage as the chief constructor of
the British navy did not seem to take
the slightest interest in his eXplana-
tons. Ericsson was practically driven
from England by not having his worth
recognized. We now see the hand of
Providence in this. 1t was in America
he should do his life work.
The Americans. Ogden and Stock
ton, of New Jersey, took interest in
him and his invention of the propeller.
Ericsson took Stockton on trip from
London Bridge to Greenwich. He at
once ordered two boats. In 1899
he came to New York to introduce his
propeller.
