across the river.
Inc area of land necessary to include
the tort and the graves is about fifty-fye
acres valued at 500 an acre. The
works themselves are in such a good
s.ace OF preservation as to constitute
thelr own best monument, and it is pro-
poseu only to purchase the Land, erect
one large monument in Fort Meigs to
cosC $4,000, and three others at S.,
each TO mark the burial places, making
total OF $4,000. Fort Meigs was
named IN honor of General Meigs, but
nc selected for the village just east the
name OF Perrysburg, in commemoration
OF efe nero OF the naval victory on Lake
Erie.
On the 10th of September, 1913, Com
modore Perry, commanding the Ameri-
can neet on Lake Erie, fought the Br :
ish near the island of West Sister al 4
captured the entire fleet with all Off
GERS and men, but after bloody fight
ana with much loss of men. He an
nounced to Gen. Harrison, commanding
the Army of the Northwest, "We have
met the enemy and they are ours" He
buried his dead on the Island of Putin
Bay, now one of the most important
ports on Lake Erie. This battle-ground
is about sixty feet from the shore of the
lake, and in its center stands willow
tree, at the foot of which a rough block
OF stone is said to mark the exact
location of the graves. Some years
ago, by voluntary contribution, a
circular enclosure of wooden posts
connected by a chain was put up,
but the posts have rotted and the en-
closure is broken. Putin Bay is visited
by hundreds of thousands of people
every year, and the condition of this
burial ground is a reproach and shame
to the care and generosity of the nation
for which the dead there buried fought
aud gave up their lives. The burial
ground is included in an area which was
conveyed by Mr.. J. De Rivera to tho
corporation in trust for the public. The
nature OF the conveyance is such as to
assure the SPOT against obliteration, but
no steps have been taken to specially
mark it. 1t is proposed to inclose it
with an iron chain fence of neat design
and replace the rough block by q small
granite shaft suitably inscribed. The
Improvement indicated would cost about
~, 900.
TO carry out all these plans of the as
sociation a bill was introduced into the
United States Senate by Senator Sher-
man calling for an appropriation suf-
ticient to preserve these old landmarks
of the early history of the coun try as
indicated above. The total cost would
be $50, 500. Recommendations in accord
with the plans of the association have
been made to the War Department by
Bvt Brig. Gen, Poe, Colonel of En-
gineers, and favorably indorsed by Brig.
Gen. Casey, Chief of Engineers,

the sciences in which Linn@us was
distinguished, including, of course,
botany and medicine. These will be
placed in position in time for the expo
sition of 1898. The Swedish Linnnan
Monument Association has been the
sole mover in this gift to Chicago of
beautiful and enduring ornament. Of
this corporation Robert Lindblom is
President and John r. Lindgren
Treasurer, the other officers compris-
ing the best-known Swedes in Chicago.

toward the natural sciences. In these
he soon began to distinguish himself.
In 1929 he was under the instruction
of the great Celsius, for whom he lee
tured at the university. He started on
his famous trip through Lapland May
%, 1882, and took long Journey
through Northern Europe. He pub
lished his great work, "The System OF
Nature" in Holland in 1876, and lived
to see the twelfth edition of that epoch
marking volume greatly amplitied in
the hands of his fellow scholars. "The
First Principles of Botany" was writ
ten about this time. The next year he
went to England and was invited to
lecture in Oxford University. He de-
voted the rest of his life, however, to
study, research and lecturing in the
University of Sweden. In 1853 he
was decorated by the King with the
Order of the Polar Star, being the
first man of science to receive that
distinction. He thereupon changed
his name to Carl Won Lime He died

Fort Miami, which was first estab-
lished as trading post in 1880, and oc-
cuped for military purposes subse-
ouently by the British, and abandoned
by them after the treaty of 1875. is the
Oldest of all these historical points The
northeastern angle of the work and q
portion of each adjoining curtain, to-
gother with tho greater part Of the
demilune in advance of the northern
front, are still in Il fair state of preserva-
ton. The river front has been de-
stroyed. The site is part of the plat of
Maumee City, occupying about five and
a half acres. Part OF it is orchard. 1t
is estimated that the site can be pur-
chased for -, 500, and Il $500 monu-
ment in granite will suffice to mark the
location of the fort.

that the Father at Washington had sent
against them, but they were obstinate
and voted for war. Gen. Wayne ad-
vanced and pitched his camp near
Watervile. The next day (Aug. 20,
17o4,) he gave battle to the Indians,
who were intrenched behind some trees
that had been Frustrated by tornado,
whence the name Of the Battle OF Fallen
Timbers Wayne came upon the saw
ages like the wind that had laid low the
forest, his soldiers partaklng or MS own
irresistible courage. 1T was TINS Dattle
that won for Wayne the cognomcn or
"Che-no-tin" or the Hurricane. This
battlefield lies on the river and is cnlti-
waited for farming purposes. There are
about twelve and one third acres that 1T
is proposed to purchase at an estimated
cost Of 500 per acre, and erect at q con
spicuous point granite monument, so
as to bring the total cost within $1,000.
Gen. Wayne pursued the Indians even
under the guns of the British Fort
Miami, but passed on down tho river to
the mouth of Swan Creek, whore he con-
structed d military fort, which, owing to
the industry Of his army in its cOnstruc-
ton he named Fort Industry. This
fort Wayne garrisoned and it was occu-
pied for a number of years. Its dimen-
sions were about 200 by $50 feet, and its
site is now the busiest part Of the city of
To,edo, at the intersection OF Monroe
street and Summit avenue. All trace OF
it was long ago oblitcrated, but the fact
of it's location at tho point indicated is
preserved in the designation OF block
of buildings named Fort Industry Block.

interest
The other two points determined upon
for commemoration, Fort Meigs and the
Putin Bay burial ground, belong to the
period of the war of 1912, when the
Maumea Valley became again the scene
of military operations. The hero of this
campaign was Gen. William Henry Har-
rison, who in February, 1913, erected
and established Fort MeigS, ten miles
from Fort Industry While the work
was in progress two unsuccessful attacks
were made by Tecumseh, Gen. Harri-
son and 'recumseh had first met in arms
at the battle of Fallen Timbers, and
they met again here, each commanding.
Tecumseh is described as "one of the
most splendid specimens of his tribe
celebrated for their physical proportions
and fine forms-tall, athletic and manly
-dignitied, graceful, the beau ideal of
an Indian chief" The victory was with
Gen Harrison, and TecumSeh was killed
during the war. The outlines and works
of Fort Meigs are neariy all preserved
