JOHN A. FAGOT.

| True to his convictions, loyal
to his conscience, with strict f.
deity to his views, John A. Fagot
died the true Mason he always
professed to be and he always
maintained he was. For nearly
a half a century he was a Jealous
disciple Of the Masonic cult and
its science Of morality. The les
son inculcated by its teachings be-
came a part of his life and domi-
mated not only his intercourse
and relations to his fellow-man,
but every constructive work as
well as private actions with which
he was connected. Every cardi-
nal principle Of the Order was
scrupulously observed by him
during his long and useful career
and every admonition translated
into a reality of life. His father
hood, his citizenship, his activities
drew their vitality and strength
and unconquerable charact ristics
from the book of Masonry. No
better illustration Of span of hui
man existence could teach a more
appropriate adaptation Of Ma
sonic precepts to our every day
life than the one to whom this
eulogy is dedicated. Without
known enemies, with numberless
friends and companions, with
others whose admiration and re-
spect for consistency, courage
and determination with which he
assumed all duties and RESPONSE
bility, his. death will accentuate
the example of a high, noble, gen
erous, manly life AS an active
Mason and a convincing promoter
of good will and peace among
neighbors and friends he deserves
the reward not paid in coin of
the worldly minis, but in that of
love heart and sentiment. AS a
father, citizen and man, without
ever having invited the finger of
scorn, prejudice and passion, or
encouraged the plaudits and adj
ulations Of the multitude, he per-
formed his duties and carried his |
burdens with the fidelity that
marks the true and tried member
of the Masonic fraternity. With |
a spotless record, and unimpeach-
able integrity, lofty spirit, we
commend him and his services
with society and humanity to
those Of his posterity who would
emulate life work well done
and received by the Supreme
Architect Of the Universe.

ships provided with huge caldrons

fire caldrons' position could be adjust

the most inflammable part of the ves-

posed of chemical substances, which
when set on fire could not be quenched
by water were thrown on the decks
Of the enemy's vessels. On shore the
forts were equipped with catapults for
shooting liquid fire on the decks Of
the enemy's vessels which approached
the shore. These streams of fire pro-
duced a gas which made men insensi-

Submarines, Torpedocs And Mines.
AS far back as 1873 inventors
thought of submarines and a curious
underwater boat was built by Demus
Papin, in 1890. 1t was not a success
and although many attempts were
made 1t was not until David Bushnells
Turtle, in 1875, tried to blockade the
British fleet on the American coast
that this type of vessel was fairly
successful. This machine seems to
have been the ancestor of the mine
as we'll as Of the submarine for 1t was
arranged so that a mine could be
exploded under the enemys' ship. An
other early submarine was the one
invented by Robert Fulton, in 1901.
1t was propelled by hand and was
fitted with diving planes aft. It was
filled with a detachable spike, which

tected with armor "a inches thick
whilst the bow and the stern were
left unprotected. This unsatisfactory
method was discontinued about 1889,
when hardened steel stating SO re-
duced armor weight that 1t became
possible for a vessel to carry adequate
protection.
Whilst arrows and spears were
thrown by the fighting men on war
vessels as early as 100, B. c., the be-
ginning of naval artillery came much
later. The advent of the cannon early
in the fourteenth century may be
looked upon as the start of this branch,
Of warfare. although the catapult for
throwing stones was used long before
this period. The Venetian Navy used
cannon at sea in 1880. The barrels of
these cannon were made of hoped
iron. Early in the fifteenth century
1t became necessary to arm merchant
vessels. and the old type of cannon
known as Bombards were used.
During this century a French in
ventor hit upon the idea of mounting
guns on other decks at port holes. At
first the port holes were circular and
only a little larger than the guns.
These were found unsatisfactory, as
the gun had to remain in fixed posi-
ton 80 the circular port holes were
superseded by oblong ones.
During the reign of Henry VIII.
naval artillery in England had
reached such a perfection that the
Venetian Ambassador informed his
government that the English King

had cannon enough to conquer hell"
In the days of Lord Nelson the
largest gun in common use at sea was
the long 32 FOUNDER carried by the
"Victory" on her lower deck at Ira
falgar. This gun consisted of a sim
pie cast iron tube mounted on trun-
Mons fixed to a wooden carriage. The
gun muzzle was lowered by hand
spikes inserted below the breech and
retained by wedges driven under the
breech and at any desired elevation.
When the gun was to be trained on a
particular object the carriage was
moved bodily, the recoil being kept
within bounds by a cable passing
through an eye at the breech of the
gun the ends of which were fastened
to the sides of the vessel. The gun
was loaded from the muzzle and fired
through a touch hole near the breech.
Liquid Fire.
More than 100, B. c., the Rhodians
attempted to fire hostile vessels by
means of caldrons of burning material
carried at the end of spars from the
bows of their ships, and even as late
as 1909, Lord Cochrane used fire ships
in his attack on the French in the
Basque Roads. In this instance the
hold of three little vessels. known as
fire ships were filled with powder
casks and sand covered with heavy
timber, which was again covered with
hand grenades and rockets.
In 1872 f1reships played an import
ant part in the Dutch War. when the
English and French ships had fire.
