“Name to Conjure W ith”
Once H ad Real Meaning
Screw Propeller Idea
When a young engineer named Hick
of Bolton, England, noticed one day
the rotary descent of a sycamore seed
he examined It and applied Iiis.obser
vatbins to the making of a screw pro
peller.
Some years later, In 1823, a Kent
lah farmer, Francis Smith, who was
Interested In marine engineering, con
structed a model boat propelled by a
screw driven with a spring. The suc
cess of this led to further experiments
on a pond In one of his fields.
Experts became Interested lu his In
vestigations. and In 1838 he bnilt a
tenton vessel to the design of his
model. This had satisfactory trials
on the Paddington canal and the
Thames, but the Inventor was not sat
isfied. He put to sea In her, and de
spite rough weather his craft behaved
excellently.
A year later the admiralty ngreed to
foster the Invention If he could make
a larger vessel that would travel five
miles an hour on the Thntnes; and In
1838 he built the Archimedes, a 237-
ton boat of 90 horse power, which he
launched at Millwall. To the aston
ishment of the critics this boat reached
a speed of nearly ten miles an hour,
and In the two years that followed
nearly one hundred similar boats were
built.
“A name to conjure with” la
a phrase more used than understood,
us conjuring was not always the term
for stage or parlor tricks of the pres
ent day. Originaljy conjuring stood
for the art of the magician—the con
jurer of the Dark ages being really
the same personage as the wizard. Ills
conjuring really meant a very solemn
compact or agreement, the word It
self being taken from the Latin for
an oath. Part of his ritual consisted
in the then popular belief that he
could summon up Satan or some other
spirit by the saying of some "word of
power," such a word being generally
mysterious-sounding like “abracada
