doin College in 1840, studied at Andover Theological Seminary, and in 1844 he was ordained pastor of the Congregational church in Harpswell. Resigning his pastorate in 1855, he removed to Boston, where for ten years he was chaplain of the Seamen's Friend Society. He was subsequently in charge of a Congregational church at Rockport, Mass., but after a short time returned to Harpswell, which was his home for the rest of his life. While a student at Andover he wrote the famous blank-verse address, Spartacus to the Gladiators, familiar to every American schoolboy, as well as Regulus to the Carthaginians and Pericles to the People, and on his return to Harpswell he began writing books for young people, Charlie Bell, the Waif of Elm Island (1868), being the first. His juvenile tales still continue popular, but his fame is likely to be longest preserved by the Spartacus. He published also The Ark of Elm Island (1869); The Boy Farmer of Elm Island (1870); Hardscrabble of Elm Island (1870); Norman Cline (1870); The Young Shipbuilders of Elm Island (1870); Arthur Brown, the Young Captain (1871); The Cruise of the Casco (1871); The Young Deliverers of Pleasant Cove (1871); The Sophomores of Radcliffe (1871); The Spark of Genius (1871); The Child of the Island Glen (1872); John Godso's Legacy (1873); Sowed by the Wind (1873); The Turning of the Tide (1873); A Stout Heart (1873); Winning his Spurs (1873); The Fisher Boys of Pleasant Cove (1874); Wolf Run (1875); Brought to the Front (1876); The Mission of Black Rifle (1876); Forest Glen (1877); Good Old Times (1877); Burying the Hatchet (1878); A Strong Arm and a Mother's Blessing (1880); The Unseen Hand (1882); The Live Oak Boys (1883).

Kellogg, George, inventor, born in Pine Meadow, Conn., June 19, 1812; died in New Hartford, Conn., May 6, 1901. He was graduated at Wesleyan University in 1837, and after engaging for a short time in the manufacture of machinery he was principal of Sumter Academy, Sumterville, S. C., from 1838 to 1841. He then became a manufacturer in Birmingham, Conn., and in 1855 removed to New York city to educate his daughter, Clara Louise, who at an early age attracted attention by the quality of her voice. From 1863 to 1866 he was a United States revenue officer, and afterward engaged in manufacturing and in experiments at Cold Spring, N. Y. He was an expert in shorthand writing and made many additions to the methods of studying stenography. For his mechanical knowledge and inventive ability he was called as an expert witness in many notable patent cases. His more important inventions were a machine for making jack-chain at the rate of a yard a minute (1844); a dovetailing machine (1849); a type distributor (1852); an obstetrical forceps (1853); and an adding apparatus (1869). In 1845 he established a manufactory of hooks and eyes, with American machinery, at Redditch, England, and in 1868 he began to make hats in London, under a patent issued to his brother, Albert Kellogg, the botanist and inventor.

Kendall, Edward Hale, architect, born in Boston, Mass., July 31, 1842; died in New York city, March 10, 1901. He was educated at the Boston Latin School and at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. He was the architect of the original Equitable Life Assurance Building and of the Methodist Book Concern Building, both in New York city, and the New York houses of Robert and Ogden Goelet. As consulting architect of the Department of Docks he directed the building of the recreation piers along the New York water

front. He was president of the World's Convention of Architects in Chicago in 1893; president of the New York Chapter of the Institute of American Architects, 1887-'91; and president of the American Institute of Architects in 1892-'93.

In 1854 he removed to Syracuse. He was a delegate to the convention that nominated Martin Van Buren for the presidency in 1848, and to the National Republican Convention of 1856. He was elected to the State Senate in 1863, and served till 1871. While there he served as chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, and won distinction by introducing a resolution opposing the granting of money to private, parochial, and sectarian schools. He was elected jus tice of the Supreme Court of New York for the 5th District in 1883, and was retired Jan. 1, 1893, having reached the age limit.

Kimball, Lorenzo W., inventor, born in Pittsford, Vt., May 24, 1814; died in Rutland, Vt., April 13, 1901. He was a machinist and patternmaker by trade, and during his life he was engaged in several manufacturing enterprises in Brandon, Rutland, and Pittsford. During the civil war he was employed in the Colt armory in Hartford, Conn., and was a gun inspector in the United States Arsenal in Springfield, Mass. After 1872 he resided in Rutland. About 1865 he bought a thread factory in Pittsford, and after running it as a machine-shop for a short time he sold it to a straw-board manufacturing company. Mr. Kimball never had seen heavy paper manufac tured before, and he was much impressed with its hardness and durability. His interest led him to invent the paper car-wheel. The first 12 wheels he made with his own hands in a little shop in Brandon. Four of them were put under one end of a freight-car and run on the Rutland Railroad several months. The other 8 were put under a Pullman palace-car and run 500,000 miles without repairing anything but the steel tires. These tests demonstrated the practicability of the invention, and Mr. Kimball and Mr. Allen, of the paper firm, took out patents and began the manufacture of the wheels in Pittsford. After two years the plant was removed to Hudson, N. Y., and the wheels, now in extensive use, are manufactured by the Pullman Car Company. Mr. Kimball retired from the company before it left Pittsford, and realized little from his inventions, although his associates are said to have made a fortune. He also took out patents for a paper door in 1868, and in the following year for paper mouldings, but these never came into general use.

King, Clarence, geologist and author, born in Newport, R. I., Jan. 6, 1842; died in Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. 24, 1901. He received his early education in Hartford, Conn., where, at the high school, Mary A. Dodge (Gail Hamilton) was his teacher in English composition. He was gradu. ated at Sheffield Scientific School, Yale, in 1862, and crossed the plains, and for three years was employed in the geological survey of California, under Prof. Josiah D. Whitney. In the course of this work he and James Terry Gardiner made the first survey of the Yosemite valley, and constructed a complete map, from which a model was afterward made. In 1866 Mr. King went to Washington to urge upon the Government his plan for a geological survey of the whole western part of our domain. In this he was successful, and that portion of the work designated as the Survey of the Fortieth Parallel was assigned to him. With a force of

scientific and professional men-naturalists, mining engineers, geologists, surveyors, besides laborers and teamsters, numbering in all about 100he set himself to the task, which was under the

auspices of the engineering department of the army. This occupied five years, and was completed in 1872. Of the 6 large volumes that make up the report, the first, entitled Systematic Geology, was written by Mr. King, and has been admired for the perfection of its literary style as well as its scientific value. His paleontological discoveries furnished the evidence by which the age of the gold-bearing rocks was determined. In 1872 certain swindlers attempted a great fraud by "salting" a certain territory in Arizona with rough diamonds, and then announcing the discovery of rich diamond-fields. The trick was detected and exposed by Mr. King, and the scheme failed. He originated and promoted the plan for a permanent geological bureau, bringing all the Government work under one director, and when the bill was passed by Congress, in 1878, he was placed at the head of it. But three years later he resigned, for personal and financial reasons. He at once had a large practise as a mining expert, and became interested in several mining enterprises in the Western Territories and in Mexico. He also carried on a long and costly series of experiments and observations in physical geology, the results of which were contributed to Silliman's Journal for January, 1893, under the title The Age of the Earth. He published in the Atlantic Monthly, in 1871, a series of papers that were issued the next year in book form under the title Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, which are perhaps the most brilliant literary productions that ever came from the pen of a professional scientist. The book was republished in England, and had a large sale in both countries. His other contributions to periodicals include a notable story entitled The Helmet of Mambrino, which appeared in the Century in 1886, and an essay entitled Artium Magister in the North American

Review. Mr. King had a cultivated taste for art in its various forms, and a wide knowledge of classical literature. In conversation he was one of the most remarkable men of his time. His powers as a raconteur caused a friend to say, The trouble with King is, that his description of a sunset spoils the original." He had spent much time in successive trips to Europe, and had sailed on many seas. His last travels were in the Klondike region. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mr. King was one of the kindest hearted of men, and did many deeds of benevolence that involved personal risk as well as pecuniary outlay. He never married.

Knipe, Joseph Farmer, soldier, born in Mount Joy, Pa., Nov. 30, 1823; died in Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 18, 1901.

On July 4, 1890, he was unexpectedly called upon to deliver an oration before the citizens of Brown County, South Dakota. He spoke about half an hour, advocating the more general distribution of wealth and denouncing the corruption of politics. As the result of this speech he was elected to the State Senate in the autumn of that year. Following a deadlock in the Legislature, he was elected as an independent to the United States Senate. He was reelected in 1897. He was a Republican until 1887, but then joined the Democratic party, and, when he was elected to the United States Senate, it was by the votes of the Farmers' Alliance members. He had been a Prohibitionist and was known as a sympathizer with the female-suffrage movement. On Dec. 28, 1899, he announced his abandonment of the Populist party. After that time he was classified in the Congressional Directory as a Republican. After March, 1893, Senator Kyle served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor. Ladue, Joseph, miner, founder of Dawson City, born in Plattsburg, N. Y., in 1853; died in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., June 26, 1901. When his parents died, in 1874, he determined to become a gold-miner. He appeared in Deadwood, S. Dak., in 1876, with about $100 in his pocket, picked up a job as engineer in the mines, and studied mining night and day till he had mastered the business. He went into Alaska on a prospecting tour in the early eighties. He was the first man to hear of the rich Klondike region, and he selected 178 acres of Government land, at $1.25 an acre, at the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers. On June 23, 1897, he mapped and founded the town of Dawson City on this site, and the town lots, each 50 by 100 feet, brought in many instances $5,000 each. He also organized the Ladue Gold-Mining and Development Company of Dawson. He returned to the United States in the latter part of 1897. He had contracted consumption in Alaska, and after his return to the States spent the greater part of his time in Colorado Springs, Col.

Laflin, Byron, soldier, born in Lee, Mass., in 1829; died in Hudson, N. Y., June 20, 1901.

After the war he was appointed provisional Governor of North Carolina, and afterward he served as a member of the Legislature of that State.

Lambert, Edgar L., engineer, born in Alexandria, Va., in 1838; died in New Orleans, La.,

Feb. 13, 1901. During the early years of the civil war he served as lieutenant-colonel of the 8th Virginia Regiment, and he was severely wounded in the Shenandoah valley campaign. After his recovery he was appointed lieutenant in the Confederate navy, and stationed at Mobile. In the battle of Mobile Bay he ran the Selma aground and sank her in order to prevent her capture, and after Farragut's victory he sank the Tuscaloosa in Alabama river. After the war he was appointed to a command under Maximilian in Mexico. He assisted in building the railroad from Mexico to Vera Cruz. When Maximilian was overthrown he returned with the French to France, and remained there till 1870. Returning to the United States as engineer, he assisted in the building of the Texas and Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and other Western railroads. After 1893 he was engaged on the survey and plan for the new combination sewerage and drainage system of New Orleans.

Lankenau, John D., capitalist and philanthropist, born in Bremen, Germany, in 1815; died in Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 30, 1901. He removed to the United States when nineteen years old, to accept a place with a firm of dry-goods importers by whom he had been employed in his native town. He afterward became a member of the firm, and, amassing a fortune, retired in 1865. In 1848 he had married Mary Joanna Drexel, a daughter of Francis M. Drexel. He was named as one of his father-in-law's executors, and the management of the Drexel estate eventually fell entirely into Mr. Lankenau's hands. The work of carrying out the provisions of Francis M. Drexel's will extended over many years, and occupied the executor's attention until his death. Mr. Lankenau succeeded Mr. Drexel on the Board of Trustees of the German Hospital, and was its president after 1869.

After his appointment as commander, in the latter year, he commanded suc

cessively the Wyandotte, the Iroquois, and the Adams. On the latter ship he first attracted public notice by his attitude during the Samoan revolution of 1888. In September of that year the commander of the German cruiser Adler threatened to bombard a native fort unless it was evacuated by the adherents of Mataafa. The Germans were supporting Tamasese. Leary was in command of the little Adams, a third-rate vessel of antique type, and, finding the Germans about to interfere forcibly in support of their candidate for the Samoan chieftainship, he cleared ship for action, first placing his vessel in position to command the approaches to the fort, and forbade any interference. He also landed marines to protect the American consulate. He remained at his post until the American squadron, under Admiral Kimberly, arrived, when he was sent north in the Adams. For this service the Maryland Legislature voted him a gold medal. He commanded the San Francisco after September, 1897, and in the West Indies campaign of the Spanish-American War; and after the war he was stationed at the Boston Navy-Yard till April, 1899, when he was appointed the first naval Governor of Guam. On the island he was in absolute authority. He carried his government in his ship, the Yosemite, and had to execute as well as judge of the laws. He ruled the island as he would his ship, breaking up immorality by obliging the natives to marry, calling upon the men for a certain amount of work every week, and even prescribing the minimum number of poultry which should be maintained in each family. He secured the respect and affection of the natives. In the spring of 1900 he was replaced by Commander Seaton Schroeder. He was then assigned to the League Island Navy-Yard, and on Dec. 6, 1900, to the command of the receiving-ship Richmond. He was relieved of the command of the Richmond, at Boston, in October, 1901, on account of heart trouble. About two weeks before his death he made application for his retirement as a rearadmiral. The application was approved by the examining board and the President the day before his death, but for some unknown reason the let ter of the Secretary of the Navy, announcing to him his promotion and retirement, was not mailed in Washington until Dec. 30.

Leavitt, Andrew Jackson, actor, born in Boston, Mass., in 1822; died in that city, Feb. 1, 1901. He made his first appearance with an amateur dramatic club in Albany, N. Y., as Cool in London Assurance. His first professional appearance was with a minstrel company, and he was a popular favorite as end-man and comedian. He became proprietor and manager of a small

minstrel house in Boston, where he remained several years, and then built the Gaiety Theater, on Green Street, Boston, which he managed successfully for a time. Reverses came and he returned to active work in other theaters. He went to New York and produced a clever sketch called The Happy Land of Canaan, which established his reputation as a sketch-writer. After long engagements in Philadelphia, New Orleans, and other large cities, he finally settled in Boston and played ten years in negro farces at the Howard Athenæum. A few years ago he appeared again in legitimate drama, his last engagement being in The Two Sisters.

Le Conte, Joseph, geologist, born in Liberty County, Georgia, Feb. 26, 1823; died in Yosemite valley, California, July 6, 1901. He was descended from Guillaume Le Conte, a Huguenot,

who fled from Rouen after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes and settled in New Rochelle, N. Y., in 1698. Lewis, a grandson of Guillaume, after graduation at Columbia in 1799, settled in Liberty County, Georgia, where his sons John and Joseph were born. Joseph was graduated at Franklin College of the University of Georgia in 1841, and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons

in 1845. He entered on the practise of medicine in Macon, Ga., but abandoned his profession to enter Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard, where he studied natural sciences and geology under Louis Agassiz, receiving the degree of B. S. in 1851, and during that year he spent some time with Agassiz exploring the reefs and keys of Florida. In 1852 he was chosen to the chair of Natural Science in Oglethorpe College, but a year later resigned to accept the professorship of Geology and Natural Science in the University of Georgia, where his brother John was Professor of Natural Philosophy. He retired from this university in 1856 to become Professor of Geology and Natural History in South Carolina College, where he remained until 1862, when, owing to the civil war, college work was abandoned, and he was for a time engaged as chemist in the Government laboratory for the manufacture of medicines, and later as chemist in the niter and mining bureau in Columbia. In 1866 he returned to his professorial duties in the University of South Carolina, but two years later he joined the original faculty of the University of California, becoming Professor of Geology, Botany, and Natural History, which chair he then held until his death. His scientific work included researches on the phenomena of binocular vision and many

66

important contributions to geology, especially of the Pacific slope, where he was the first to determine the age and character of the Cascade mountains, and their relation to the great Columbia lava flood. He described the ancient glaciers of the Sierra Nevada, and was among the first to recognize the post-tertiary elevation of those mountains, as shown by the river-beds. His studies on mountain structure led him to important generalizations on the origin of mountains in general, and he became one of the chief exponents of the 'contractional theory" of mountain building. His studies on ore deposition at Steamboat Springs, Nev., and Sulphur Bank, Cal., led him to a discussion of vein-formation in general, and his classification of ore deposits is not displaced in its essential features by the most recent work in the same direction. He also made important contributions to the subjects of seismology and coral growth in geological aspects. Prof. Le Conte was an advocate of the doctrine of evolution. He was also interested in art. The degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him in 1879 by the University of Georgia, and he was a member of many scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, to which he was chosen in 1875. Besides being one of the editors of the Journal of Geology and of Science, he was a large contributor to popular scientific and technical journals, as well as author of the following: Religion and Science, a series of Sunday lectures (New York, 1873); Elements of Geology (1878); Sight: An Exposition of the Principles of Monocular and Binocular Vision (1880); Compend of Geology (1884); and Evolution: Its Nature, its Evidences, and its Relation to Religious Thought (1887).
