4 garding the Fort on Gov
ernor's island.

Il II not at all remarkable that 30
many New Workers, including not few
who. are fairly. and therefore notably
familiar with the history and n1onu.
ments of the city, are either mistaken or
uncertain as to the name Of the once i'm
pressive but now ridiculous little round
fort on Governors island. The trouble
arises, says the New York Times, from
two facts-first, that this is one Of the
very few Notifications in all the world
that was named after its actual designer
and builder; and, second. that It was
named after man who, though Of some
prominence in his day. was not really
we'll known even then. and somehow
failed to make for himself any place
at all in the commonly read histories.
The impression that the fort is Castle
William" is held by those who think II
older than It Is. when Castle Williams
was built the people of the country were
not seeking opportunities to pay honor
to foreign potentates. and though they
had military heroes enough Of their
own most of them were still alive, and
the living hero does not often get this
sort of glory So. as Col. Jonathan VII.
liams had planned and supervised the
construction of several defenses around
New York harbor. including the Castle
Clinton. which later became Castle Gar
den, one of the forts was allowed to bear
his name. And his name was quitego
enough for the little round fort. Born In
Boston in 1850. Williams saw in his
youth many seas and several lands. in.
cluding France, where he studied mil
itary science to such purpose that In
1901 he became a very efficient major
in the artillery and engineer corps.
He was superintendent at West Point
for awhile. but squabble about rank
led to his resignation. He soon had the
place back again. however, and with q
higher grade. so he must have been
either right or much needed. Williams
is credited with being the first to intro
duce in the United States principles OF
scientific military engineering, and he
has been called the Father of the Corps
of Engineers"-a title well worth hav-
ing. In 1912 he demanded the command
of Castle Williams. 1t was refused, and
he resigned from the army. Two years
later he was elected to congress, but
never took his seat He wrote several
books on subjects interesting to engi-
neers and sailors. Perhaps, with all this
information supplied to them, New
Workers will be able to remember that
Williams" is right and William
is wrong in speaking of the absurd little
fort on Governors island-which was
by the way, at the time Of its erection
the only casemated battery in the Unit
ed States.

GROWTH OF CITIES IN AREA
New York Increased from 81 to 326
Square Miles in Space Of
Ten Years.

The growth Of American cities IN
area is going on pretty steadily and is
not always reflected by the growth In
population, says the New. York Sun.
Ten years ago New Orleans was u
city of 60 square miles area; its present
area is 1856 square miles.
Cincinnati in the same period has in
creased from "a to 43 square miles, Dem
yer from 43 to SO. Indianapolis from 20
to 20, Louisville from IA to 20, Boston
from 81 to AZ, San Francisco from AZ to
46, Atlanta from 8 to IL, Duluth from 62
to 81, New Haven from to 20, Portland.
Me-, from 3 to %; Fall River from Al
to 43, Little Rock from to IL, Newark
from 1S to 22. and Holyoke from to 16.
The city which has made the largest
gain in area is New York, which ten
years ago covered 81 square miles and
now covers 326, the extension OF its
boundaries to include Brooklyn, Long
Island City and Staten Island having
taken place in the meanwhile.
Four American cities. all of first i'm
portance, have gained little or nothing
in area during the last ten years. They
are. Chicago, with an area of 100 square
miles 0t was 1S9 ten years ago), Bos-
ton with AZ, st. Louis with 61 and Balti.
more with 81.
Some American cities are geographic
ally 80 built that an extension of theiI
boundaries is impracticable. Othel
American cities made provision in ad
vance for the growth which they ex
pected and an addition to their boun
daries has not been necessary
A majority Of the cities Of the coun
try are larger territorially than the,
were ten years ago, and the increase
of population in American cities ha
been general. But New York has mad
the greatest growth both in size ant
numbers.

She Meant Well.

Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, the
Episcopal dignitary who every sum
mer makes two or three weeks tour
over the country, tramping incognito,
is man of tremendous appetite, and
is proud of it. But a story is related
of Kent county housewife who got
the lest of him. She was the learned
prelates hostess on one of his tramp
ing tours, and, knowing very well who
he was, set before him a dinner fit
for man of great labors. The bishop
appreciated her cooking highly, and
told her SO, but he was unprepared
for her rejoinder: Bless you, bishop,
eat your fill, for love to see ye eat !;
eat till ye bust; wisht you would!''
