patch Of stluted brush which forms the
epaulets and while Imagination is becoming
more and more a reality we quickly see fea-
lures, and exclaim Eurekd! We ascent the
mountain and view the wonderful panormic
view that sweeps from horizon to horizon.
To the left is Loudon Heights crowned with
its wealth Of foliage its sides scanned with
innumerabe assures and dry rayines made
in the rock by winter torrents. In the gap
between the two mountains the Shenandoah
which comes down skrting the Blue Ridge
and the Potomac which flows south from the
table lands of the Aileghenies dividing the
water-shede of the Ohio River and Chesa-
peake Bay unite. AS we gaze on the scene our
thoughts turn back ward and with wonder
We thinl: how the opening through which
their waters pass was formed. But the ques-
ton is left for the geologist to solve and con
tent ourselves with the scene before us.
During the administration Of Washington
Ilarper's Ferry was chosen as the site for
the National Armoly. Subsequently Boli-
var and Loudon Heights We're acquired and
the buildings Of the armory and the dwell
ings of the operatives formed in themselves
a thriving settlement. The reader should be
reminded that lIarper's Ferry was prosper
Gus town until Sunday night October 1G,
1859, when at The hour of ten o'clock band
of twenty men crossed the railroad bridge
then clumsy covered structure over the Po-
tomac. But those who are familiar with
history at once recognize John Brown and
his followers as the historic party. We can
not picture the scene, yet it lives in history
as the commencement Of our civil war The
old engine house is still standing, where
Brown retreated and fought until Col.
Robert Z. Lee, arriving with detachment
of marines (from Washington) soon for
ced him to surrender. The ''oldest inhabi-
tant'' of the town will point out to you the

rock in the Potomac where Lehman, one Of
Browns raiders, was shot as lie tried to es-
cape by swimming across the piers. The
many incidents located here during our late
war are of great interest and the old veteran
Of the G. A. r., who chances to accompany
us on our excursion will tell of the sharp
conflict between Northern and Southern for
ces to hold this poiut during the early part
Of the civil war.
When the ordinance Of secession was
passed by the Virginia convention the Ferry
was the station of a company of United
States regulars under the command Of Lieu
tenant Jones' AS the news spread thick and
fast that the Virginia Militia was coming to
capture the Ferry and the aspect Of affairs
was threatening Jones was ordered to re-
treat but before doing so he applied the
torch to the drmory. The arsenal was com
pletely destroyed with fifteen thousand stand
OF armor, On the 18th of April Stonewall
jackson assumed command and the Ferry
was in possession of the Southern forces. On
the 9th of September 1869 the last important
struggle for this pass occurred, which lasted
until the 18th. After the battle of Antietam
Mcclellan concentrated his army here.
The American OF to-day visits this historic
place to view not only the wonderful works
of nature but to sec the devastation that war
makes AS he looks upon the scene he prays
that peace may always reign within our bor-
ders, Yet he swears by the eternal that not
one star shall ever be blotted from the
proudest flag that floats in the world to-day.
Those who accompany Industry Lodge No. 9

ancient town will see the many changes

EGarper's Ferry.

Since the announcement that Industry
Lodge No. 9 A. 0. U. W., would give an cx-
cursion to Harper Ferry on Thursday, July
20th over the new b. & .. Railroad we have
frequently been asked what is there TO he cen
at this place? IIarper's Ferry even before
our late war was brought to the attention of
the world by Jefferson whose wonderful Ge'-
cription brought many traveller to view the
scene. The place takes its name from
Robert Harper a native Of Oxford, England
who emigrated to this country in 1928. lie
first discovered this pass while making
trip from Philadelphia to the place near
where Winchester now stands Where he was
engaged in building a Meeting House fJr the
hlem berp Of tho Society Of Friand, lin the
year 1Jl1. lie bought tract Of land here
which was subsequently confirmed to him
by Lord Fairfax The town of IIarper's
Ferry is built at the foot Of the narrow ton
que of land that thTusts itself ont like cut
water scra ating the Potomac and the
Shenandoah rivers and known as Bolivar
Heights. It's principal street Iuus parallel
with the Shenandoah, with a side street as
cerding the hill 10 the right perpendicular
to which numerous stairs cut i'll the solid
rock, lead up to still sleeper asctnts. As
we approach the ancient town the costly and
graceful bridge built by the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad Company is crossed. The
bridge spans the Potomac on fine substan-
tial piers, Just at its junction with the shen.

The aim of modern scientific inquiry is to
