in Revolutionary Times.

New York-Geographically the CEN
ter of Greater New York, the settle
ment of Hunts Point breathes the
spirit of primeval days.
Bounded by the fiat houses of upper
Manhattan on the west. with the pop
ulous Bronx northward and the roll
ing meadows of Westchester on the
east this quaint settlement seems al
most as isolated from civilization as
Labrador.
Two hundred and thirty-six years
ago the Hunt mansion was built by
Thomas Hunt, one of the old Knicker-
lockers. The famous old structure. over
the crumbling roofs and sagging
veranda of which several giant oak
tops cluster. stands to-day on a strip
of land overlooking Long Island sound.
There is much Of historic romance
associated with this house. During
the struggle for independence it was
Gombarded by the English fleet from
the sound on its way to attack the
city. One of the cannon balls was
embedded in the brick wall where it
still lodges.
Traditions are numerous regarding
the building of the old mansion. 1t
is said that when Hunt first began to
build lumber commanded a very high
price. due to a heavy tax which was
levied on building material, so that
Hunt decided to build his house of
stone, of which there was an album
dance in the neighborhood But hard
ly had he put up the west wall when
the tax was removed. so he completed
the structure with lumber. Its preser-

Fruit Used to Prevent DROUGHT

The fruit of the Barbary nopal. a
widely distributed fig tree, is used by
Prof. Cusmano, an Italian. for the
novel purpose of watering trees for pro-
tecting them from drought. A pit a
foot deep and two yards across is dug
around the tree to be protected. and
this is filled with the figs and their
stems, the whole being beaten down
and covered with layer of earth. The
pulp thus laid down in spring alb
serbs much moisture, which is given
OFF very slowly. After a drought of
four months Prof. Cusmano has found
the pulp still fresh and capable of
supporting vegetation, while the foil
age of the tree was green and in per-
feet condition.

The mansion was noted for its So
cial functions and the brillancy of
the society which gathered there. 1t
Is positively known that Oliver De
lancy who commanded the British
forces in Westchester county. was
frequent visitor there. In later wears
II became the residence of Joseph Rod
man Drake. the poet who has charmed
thousands with his "Culprt Fay" 1t
was also here that he composed the
well-known lines on the Bronx.
On a small knoll on the road lead
ing to the mansion is an ancient bury
ing ground where the early settlers
we're inferred. 1t also holds the re-
mains of Drake. Directly across the
road is a small inclosure in which the
slaves of the Hunt family were bur
led. This ground is often disturbed
and remains removed by students in
search of material.
The Indian cave. surrounded by A
group of tall elms is still in existence
1t was once the favOrite haunt of the
Indians, and here the treaties were
made with the whites.
Baretto Point, which is located Jus.
west of the old mansion, was once the
headquarters of Gen Washington. The
old house in which the councils of
war were held during the invasion of
Gen Howe is now a desolate ruin.
