Anecdotes Of Irving VI. scott's Child
hood Days.


The late Irving a. Scott. whose chief
fame as a builder OF modern war ships
came to him as the constructor Of the
battle ship Oregon, which fact won
him an invitation from. the car Of
Russia TO come to st. Petersburg and
advise him about the Russian navy.
started in life in his fathers -four mills
at Hebron Mills, Nd, where he was
born on Christmas day, 1887. He early
became Interested in machinery, and
his father let him go to Baltimore TO
learn the trade. There he earned So
a week, but he worked hard, burning
the midnight oil to study. and observed
steady habits, so at the end of five
years he had become a mechanical en-
gineer, craftsman and machinist
After speaking of his Quaker Rnees-
try and Of the old farm and mill near
Baltimore, where his childhood was
passed, Mr. Scott once said to writer
in Ainslee's Magazine:
1T was Old Nick and that mill that
gave me my mechanical bent The mil
ler's name was Nicholas Merryman,
and we were very fond of one another.
I was continually seeing things and
asking why they were SO and how they
came about I got so l could make
and fit spoke and knew all parts Of
a wagon or of,the mill / liked to i'm
prove things and get the most out Of
them. / remember looked out for the
chickens and made a study so as to
get the most eggs and best results.
One day lamb broke its leg, and they
were going to shoot it. took it, set
the leg and soon had it about all right.
after that they gave me all injured
calves and lambs. allowing me half the
profit when sold. In that way and
from chickens I had about $50 saved
up when l went to Baltimore to make
a start
Il used to prune and graft knew just
how to make cider, how to smoke a
ham and how to kill the hogs or sheep.
/ knew all about the fish in the creeks
and used to give the city sportsmen
pointers on how to shoot the squirrels. !"
Once when an ttinerant Methodist
clergyman stopped at the house for
the farm was the hospitable resort Of
all creeds and classes and later safe
refuge for escaping slaves-he pictured
in young Irying's hearing the place Of
punishment for the wicked as a lake
Of birthstone, burning eternally. The
youngster secured some birthstone the
next day and on experimenting noted
how rapidly it was consumed. When
he next encountered the clergyman, he
annoyed that visitor as we'll as shocked
his devout father by asking: IF that
lake burns all the time, where does the
supply Of birthstone come from, be
cause it would take an awful lot to
keep 1t going steadily

It has been Mr. Boarder's habst to take
his meals at all times and plates, wher-
ever he might fancy.
Being strong man, he felt no i'll effect
for some time, then his appetite became
irregular ana his food distressed him.
and finally the mere sight OF odor Of food
became nauseatIng At this time he be-
gan to realize that he was a captive of
Dyspepsia, and try as he would he could
not break his bonds. His weight fell of,
he became nervous and irritable, could not
sleep, and his suffering was intense.
The REXALL soldiers rescued Mr..
Boarder just in time, and took him to
their headquarters, Rickert & Wells store,
where he was supplied with RExALL

joy Of Mr.. Boarder he has gained strength

NEW STYLE IN WAR SHIPS.
The swatercIad,' an Ingenious Craft
Invented by a Russian.

The seWatercIad,' an Ingenious Craft
Invented BY a Russian.
The newest thing in war ships Is
Russian invention called the water
clad,n writes the Berlin correspondent
OF the Philadelphia North American.
Engineers and officers Of the czar's
navy have been busy for months per-
fecting the plans for this remarkable
type Of vessel Instead Of the ordinary
upper deck the novel craft is to have
two ceilings with layers Of cork In be-
tween. The lower deck viii consist Of
an armored floor
The space between floor and ceiling
can be readily flooded with water,
which accounts for the term water
clad. and when this Is done the whole
vessel sinks a foot under the surface.
All machinery and torpedo gear, being
underneath the level of the lower deck,
are well protected from hostile shells.
This ingenious craft, her inventor
holds, will soon render the ordinary
ironclad ais obsolete as the wooden
three decker. Invisibility. speed, large
sailing radius, seagoing qualities and
invulnerability are some Of the charae-
teristies which make tile type altogeth'
err superior to the above water vessel
It does not roll. and therefore offers .
good basis for accurate firing Of iti
torpedoes.
According to the Russian plan, there
wifi be ten officers and 100 men t.
handle each Of these ships. It is sale
to cost about 100000 to build one b

Continuing, Colonel Wright said:
