first time in Lorraine OF the

man Kerry, which starts at the
Rialto tomorrow.
Elmer e. Sheely supervised thF
work. Hydraulic rams and dIl
artificial lake were constructed
After the lake 200 by 300 feet
had been excavated a number of
steel rams were sunk. On top OF
the rams a heavy steel platform
was built, with a loading capacity
of 100 tons.
Any type of vessel may be con-
structed on the platform-tramp
steamers, passenger liners. Oh
battleships. Then the lake IS
filled with water to the desired
height and the illusion OF the
swells washing the sides of the
vessel is complete. Wind machines
are used to stir up the waves.
BY manipulating the rams any
desired effect may be obtained.
The ship can be made to roll 2r

1T76.-If future generations of Amer.
leans are ever interested to know what
faith sustains the Americans of these
times that try mems souls, let them
read the address published today by
the New York convention to the peo-
pie of this State. The address, though
signed by Abraham Ten Brock as
president Of the convention. was from
the pen of John Jay. 1t might well
be called the second chapter of the
Declaration of independence. After
reciting the motives which led Amer
lea to take up arms with the King of
Great Britain, it deals with the loss of
New Jersey, and then exhorts the peo-
pie to consider that we do not fight
for few acres of land, but for free
dom--for the freedom and happiness
of millions yet unborn"
There never yet was a war" saws
the address, "in which victory and
success did not sometimes change
sides. In the present, nothing has
htppened either singular or decisive.
inquire dispassionately, and be not
deceived by those artful tales which
emissaries so industriously circulate"
The address dismisses with scorn
and contempt the alleged peace offers
of Admiral and Gen. Howe, saying
that the British King proposes peace
in bad faith. offering nothing but par.
don, with no assurance that America IS
wrongs will be righted in any case.
