Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton on
opposite sides OF the Narrows TO be

and Narrows can be thoroughly plant

enough submarine mines and torpedoes
TO blow all the war ships in the world
out of the water. The city via Long
Island Sound is guarded by fortifica-
tions at David's Island. Sands Point.
Fort Schuyler and Willet's Point, and
by torpedoes and mines placed along
the river bottom. There is little dan

In addition to the land fortifications
all the important harbors have been
laid out in plots. and can be planted
with mines and torpedoes in forty
eight hours. Submarine torpedo boats,
fish trpedoes. which are self-propelling
and are steered and fired from the
shore. and war balloons. which drop
dynamite, all can be used. II need be,

of visiting the model seven-acre gar

whom we are indebted fo= many cour-

US that he cleared from $500 to 81. 900

tables, flowers and plants. We here
state that we never before saw such q
growth OF vegetables at that season of
the year He said that he raised 75O
bushels OF onions to the acre. Beets
were growing as large as your arm,
turnips the size OF ones head. and
cabbages as large as a patent pail Fol-

US as receiving for his produce: Beets,
80 cents per bushel: carrots. 40 cents;
onions, SIPS; turnips, IS per ton; cab

Mother had given the Maltese kitten
a sprig of catnip, and it was rolling
over and over in an ecstasy of delight.
Grandmother I,oked up from her knit
ting and smiled at the creatures an
tics.
"Quecr how cats like catnip,' she
said. "And wildcats are just as fond
of it. Did 1 ever tell you about the

IN the Western reserve, more than 60
years ago. 1t seems hard to believe
now, but it was a serious undertaking
then to start fire. We had no

of the mantel shelf, and we struck
spark with flint and steel on a bit of

There was tall tree in the back yard
and a pair of crows had chosen to To-
cate there. just when the young birds
were almost ready to fly a heavy storm
shook one of them prematurely from
the nest. The outcast was taken into
the warm kitchen, cared for, and soon
became pet in the household.
He must have a name, so they chris
tened him Coly, and it was but a short
time till he had learned it so that even
when at some distance working in the
field they had only to call ''Coly! Coly!"
and with a loud "Caw! cav! caw!" he
would come Tapping out to where they
were at work AMI follow them about.
Coly was as good as a watchdog
waking everybody with his noise if
anyone came about. It was also his
great delight to accompany the men
when they went to haul fodder and to
catch the mice that frequently ran
from beneath the shocks. After the
load was complete he would perch on
the top of it and ride home. Let a
stranger come about, though, while
they were in the field and Coly would
