The number Of boxes of matches
produced in the federal district Of Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1907 was 202 OIL
400. of which lS9.550.000 were wood
and l2.4S2 600 wax matches. The
stamp revenue was $1218,8S4 or about
six-tenths of cent a box. The output
is used in the district itself The
match tax alone amounts to little
over $50 for each man, woman and
child. The explanation for this eX-
ceedingly large consumption OF
matches is in the fact that almost
every male inhabitant of the district
is a smoker, and most of them smoke
cigarettes.

While New York and the nation at
large are preparing TO honor the
memory of Fulton with a gigantic ce-
LIBERATION. it might be well to give a
little praise to John Ericsson, who
was born in sweden 106 years ago
his day. For it was the same Erics-
son who invented the crew propeller
and built for Uncle sam the screw
propelling warship Princeton. This
vessel was the pioneer of modern ma
val construction and the foundation
of the steam marine of the world.
Every mighty ocean going vessel of
today is a tribute to the genius of the
Swedish Inventor. The construction
of the Monitor was n of the least of
his claims to fame although the most
spectacular in its Immediate results.
Ericsson entered the Swedish army
at II, was promoted to captain, and
resigned in 1927 to devote his time
to the great inventions that already
filled his brain. In 1928, when only
25 years old, he made the first appli-
cation to navigation of the principle
of ~condensing steam and returning
the water to the boiler. Later he
brought out a self-acting gunlock by
means of which nava canno could
be automatically discharged at I'M
elevation without regard to the roll
ing of the vessel.
Following his invention of the screw
propeller. which revolutionized nav
CATION, Ericsson came to the United
States seventy years ago.. and after
two years of hard work finished the
Princeton. During the Civil Wa he
Gained the loud acclaim of the North
by building in 100 days the iron-clad
Monitor, which on March 9. 1862, won
a notable victory over the Confed-
crate iron-clad Merrimac. 1t has Of
ten been stated that but for the *
plot of the Monitor. European inter
ference might have changed the re-
suit of the war.
Ericsson died in New York City,
twenty years ago. Marked honor was
paid to his remains, and his death
caused a national sorrow. The body
of the great inventor was sent bac
to his native and on the new cruiser
Baltimore.
Lasting tribute to Ericsson's mem
DRY has been paid by the erection of
a statute in Battery Park, New York
which was unveiled with imposing
ceremonies six years ago. A torpe-
do boat named in his honor also serv-
es to keep his memory green.
