 Circulation Manager, THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



" Imagination fails us in the attempt 

 to determine what would have been 

 the result if he had fallen short in the 

 work he did so thoroughly on that 

 great day of March, 1862, in Nampton 

 Roads, Virginia. In the smoke of that 

 battle between the Monitor and the 

 Merrimac disappeared the Confeder- 

 acy's hope of foreign recognition and 

 foreign alliance. The thunder of the 

 Monitor's guns, as they echoed around 

 the world, gave assurance that the 

 United States was equal to the task it 

 had undertaken, and that the prophetic 

 words of Webster were to be inscribed 

 indelibly upon the banners of the Re- 

 public, • Liberty and Union now and 

 forever, one and inseparable.' "

 of Ericsson's statue in New York. 



Capt. John Ericsson 



Patriot and Inventor of 



The Monitor and Hot- Air Pump 



Articles for domestic service, no matter how useful, 

 never attain the fame which appertains to implements of 

 war, so it is that the sword and not the ploughshare re- 

 ceives the world's homage. Therefore Ericsson's Caloric 

 Engine or Hot-Air Pump is overshadowed in the popular 

 mind by his maritime inventions. But, in its every-day 

 usefulness, the Pump exceeds in importance the Monitor. 

 It is an engine of low power which cannot explode, work- 

 ing with just force enough to pump water; having no 

 waste power it must be economical in operation ; as it is 

 practically automatic it requires no care; and being in- 

 dependent of wind or weather it is constant. The ordinary 

 pump soon wears out. The Hot-Air Pump is a perma- 

 nent investment.
