that the fighting vessels of the middle
of the nineteenth century were huge
wooden boats, whose sides went tower
ing into the air, making excellent tar
gets for we'll aimed shells and whose
clumsy engines made swift changes in
position almost an impossibility.
In 1854 Ericsson submitted his new
plan to the emperor of the French,
a man whose chief aim seemed to be
to play the role of the first Napoleon.
He succeeded in that his effort was
mere acting, for it was sound and fury
signifying nothing. AS one might
have expected, Louis Napoleon saw
no merit in the invention which war
ranted his accepting it. Ericsson's op-
portunity, however, lay closer home.
as events were to prove.
During the American Civil War, the
Norfolk navy yard fell into the
hands of the Confederates, who raised
a number of the sunken frigates and
restored some to use. One OF these
was to cause a strange conmotion in
the cabinet of the Federal Govern
ment, and was to give Ericsson his
greatest opportunity for fame. 1t was
the hull of the Merrimac that was,
when completed in its new and awful
guise, to be rechristened the Virginia.

T'HF report of the reconstruction of

reached the ears of the Navy Depart
ment of the United States, and imme-
diately it invited proposals for plans
Of armored vessels. Among the re-
plies was the plan of Ericsson. 1t
was adopted because it was thought
that his type of vessel could be used
on inland waterways as well as upon
the sea. Work was begun upon the
boat, whose completion was secured
January 80. 1862.
For this strange craft that looked
more like a cheese box than any other
thing, perhaps, an odd name was
chosen by her creator. She was called
the Monitor, for which name Ericsson,
in g. letter to the Navy, gave
the following reasons: THE impreg-
nable and aggressive character of the
structure will admonish the leaders
of the Southern rebellion that the
batteries on the banks of their rivers
will no longer present barriers to the
entrance of the Union forces. The
ironclad intruder will thus prove
severe monitor to those leaders.

indifference this last Yankee notion,

(Sir) Jonn Ross set out in a Journey
into the Arctic regions in the
Victory, his ship was equipped with
such engines, but they proved un-
satisfactory. Further study was need
ed to perfect the new idea. In 1882
his caloric engine was given to the
public.
a LTHOUGH he was unable TO
maintain the priority claim to
the invention, he took out, three years
later, a patent for a screw propeller,
and the admiralty granted him one
fifth of the 10000 pounds offered as
a prize to the successful competitor.
There was, at this time, an effort
being made to invent some method
of protecting ships with iron. AS
early as the sixteenth century the
Dutch had worked upon the plan, and
at a little later period the French
had made a similar attempt, so that
the scheme was not new; no newer,
in fact, than was the British inven.
ton of arnored tanks in the late war,
for their prototype is found on ancient
Babylonian wall carvings whose age
runs into the thousands Of years.
A Capt. Stockton placed an order
with Laird of Birkenhead for small
iron vessel, and the order stipulated
that the engines and the screw We're
to be of Ericsson's models. In 1889
that iron ship reached New York.
Only few months later Ericsson
himself arrived in that city, took up
his residence there, became natural
lied, and remained there the rest of
his life, establishing himself as an
engineer and as a builder of iron
ships. Many difficulties beset his
path, but slowly he won success and
fame. When he died, his fortune
was estimated at $4,000 pounds, no
meager return in those days for his
inventive genius.
The greatest problem that his mind
struggled to solve was that of ade-
Quate defensive armor for war ves-
sells. His plan for such a vessel made
her lie very low in the water with
her engines below the level of the
sea, while she carried a revolving
turret outftted with one or two guns,
whose turntable shifting obviated the
need for maneuvring the boat since
the guns could be fired from prac-
tically any angle, while the enemy
would have little to- aim at save the
revolving circular turret which was
incased in plates Of heavy steel.
