FORT BLUNoER.
How It wns That Uncle sam nuilt
 It on British Soil.

Curious indeed ls an American fort which was built on British soil. How many can guess what fort lt is and where locatedl The name is Fort Montgomery. and the location is on an island near the foot of Lake ChGmplain, about half a mile northeast of Rouse's Point N. Y.
 A short time ago. when travelling In that part of the country l saw thls-fort and asked the name of lt. Why that is Fort Blunder," said my informant "Dld you never hear of it?' confessed Ignorance, and he explained matters.
 It seems that.after the war of 1872 the government of the United States became convinced that the entrance to Lake Champain should be guarded by a fort strong enough to engage any British fleet which might attempt to force an entrance to the lake, and so Fort Montgomery was constructed at a cost of nearly S5OO.OOO. It was an immense fertilization for those days and was arranged for three tiers of guns
 Just about the time it was completed the joint surveyors fixing the line hc. tween the United States and Canada came along and. after doing % good bit Of figuring. announced that Fort Mont gomcry was on Canadian soil. The northern boundary of New York state was the forty-nfth parallel and this fort was several hundred yards over the line. Work on the fort came Co an immediate standstin, and the matter was made Che subject of special treaty.
 It was decided that in view of the fact that the United States had not in- tcntionaly cncroachcd on Canadian su. the fortyhfth parallel should bc bent a little out of its course at th.s point SO as to include the fort That is why the fort is called "Tort Bundcr' It was never armed and has never been occupied by more than ouc OF two men.
