The Modern Miller Of st. Louis gives the following
interesting and doubt correct account of when and
how the Hessian fly invaded America. That paper says
that in the 1875 the Hessan troops engaged by
British as auxiliaries, landed Long Island. They
brought lot of straw with them for their horses and in
it, almost without exception, eggs of the insect
which has since become known in this country as the
Hessan fly Three years later the began to make

George Hopper says the Boston Globe
The building is surrounded by spacious
grounds. and passersby are given the
impression at once that here is wealth
and luxury. But underneath all this the
house furnishes story that is not gener-
ally known 10 the public.
Years ago George W. Hopper was \
poor young man. He received but little
schooling and his education was very
limited In early youth he became iden-

the barrels were painted before being
filled with oil.
Though the barrels were thoroughly
painted on the outside, the oil would
soak through them and in 4 short time
the paint would peel or and allow the
oil TO ooze out. Many were the expert
ments tried. but without success
One day while Hopper was bordering
over the question, tramp walked up.
and hearing Hopper lament that the
barrels could not be painted so they
would hold oil, he said:
'-I'u tell you how 10 fix them. Fill
them with water and then paint them
When they are dry. pour out the water
and the water which soaked into the

from soaking through and cutting the

Rather dubious OF the success Of the
tramp's suggestion. Hopper tried it. and
cne scheme worked successfully. The ad-
vancement and royalties Hopper received
from this idea soon resulted in wealth.
and when he died 4 few years ago his
fortune was estimated at 100000.

and although a reward OF $500 was Of

ever came TO claim the money. nor has
anything ever been heard OF the tramp.

whole army of trsmps receive a benefit,
for no matter how Gisreputable or seedy
/ looking a tramp may be. he is always
given a square meal at the Hopper home
even on TO this day.

1t is generally known. says the Matin
of Paris, that the first submarine boat
was invented by Fulton, but it was gen
orally thought also that there was Moth
ing practical in the famous Americans
invention.
This was an error, as shown in two
recent publications from a retired lieu
tenant of the French navy and from NJ
Fontin the librarian of the ministry of
marine at Paris.
The latter, after careful perusal Of
the archives at his disposal. quotes sew
eral official reports from witnesses of
the performances of Fulton's submarine
boat. and concludes by saying, with
Lieut.. Duboc that the submarine OF 100
years ago presented very nearly the prin-
ciples adopted in modern submarines and
also in the Whitehead torpedo. The Maui
titus of Fulton accomplished feats such
as none Of our submarines have yet dared
to attempt.
The American had to fight against
the bureaus of the marine Office. against
the minister, Admiral DEGREES. and
against that ass. the first consul, who
then missed his fortune meaning by
this the certainty OF crossing TO England
with his army at the camp Of Bou-
Iogne.
In August, 1901. Minister Dccres gave
orders for sending away from Brest Full
ton. with his boat and his torpedo. though
he had used them successfully 10 blow
up a derelct in the presence of the
French officials.
He experienced similar treatment in
England. where he went after his failure
in France and where. under the eyes
of Admiral Holloway Pitt and Lord Mel
Vile, FultOD's torpedo boat blew mp the
brig Dorothee. which was thrown SIX
feet in the air and fell back broken in
two.
But when Fulton, proud Of his success,
presented himself 10 the first lord OF the
admiralty the latter said 70 him: Pitt
is the greatest fool that has ever eX-
listed for enCoUra ging a kind Of war quite
useless 20 those who are masters of the
sea. and which would be deprived Of this
supremacy if that method Of warfare sue
ceeded -
Fulton. with his Nautilus measuring
6lL meters long and Pa meters wide. went

at will. through the introduction Of a

again through the expulsion OF the liquid

his boat to maintain itself IN a constant
