DR.. MURRAY's BROTHER
RECEIVES PROMOTION

DR.. H. v. Murray of Honolulu has re-
ceived word in a Halifax, N. s., paper
that his brother, Professor D. A.. MUIR
ray, has been called from the chair
of mathematics in DaIhousie university
to that of applied mathematics at Nc
Gill university, Montreal After a dis
tinguished career as undergraduate at
Dalhousie, Murray spent two years as
tutor in mathematics there. Then he
went to Johns Hopkins university,
where he successfully took the degrees
of Scholar, Fellow and Doctor. For
four years he was associate professor
in the university of the city of New
York and from there went to Cornell
university, where he was a member OF
the mathematical staff until his ap-
pointment to Dalhousfe in 1901. Pro-
fessor Murray is the author OF series
Of textbooks OF mathematics for COL
lege use which are very widely adopt
ed by leading universities in the Uni
ted States, Great Britain and Canada.
The little Bluenose university, Dali
housie, seems to be a regular nursery
of college professors. Within twenty
years it has given President Schuman
to Cornell and professors to several
universities on both sides of the At
lantic.

mHENHY TO BE UsEr
BY MARYLAND MILITIA.
National Guard Secure Lease Of Place
Which Is to Be Deserted by the
Federal Forces Next April.

It Is so often the privilege Of citi-
zen soldiers to come into possession
Of fort and parade grounds which
fairly thrill and pulsate with historic
memories Of loyalty and devotion to
the country's flag and the nations
safety and honor, but such is the
case with the national guard Of the
state Of Maryland. which has through
the efforts Of the citizens Of Balti-
more and Adjt. Gen. Clinton L. Riggs,
of the militia organization, secured
a fve-year lease of Fort McHenry
after 1t is abandoned by the war de-
partment on April 1, 1907. Thus will
the old fort made famous in the song
Of the "Star-Spangled Banner" Of
Francis Scott Key, be preserved, and
the stars and stripes will continue to
float from the old ramparts as they
lid on that memorable September
morning of 1874, when the rising sun,
piercing the smoke of battle during
the bombardment Of the fort by the
British, disclosed them to the delight
ed view OF Key, imprisoned on one
Of the British warships, and inspired
him tc write The Star-Spangled Ban
ner."
The land Of which Fort McHenry is
q part was taken up in 1861 under
the name of MILESTONE Point, under
patent by Charles Gorsuch, a mem
Der of the Society of Friends. It's
importance as military fort was
early recognized, and in ITS it had
been strengthened by the construc-
tion Of water battery, then i'm
pregnable, honey-combed by maya
zines and secret underground pas
sageways. This battery still stands
intact, facing the water approaches Of
the city from the south. The fol-
lowing year, in preparation Of a
visit from the British, a boom was
constructed between MILESTONE Point
and the Lazaretto, and great chain
suspended by q sunken bay vessels
was stretched across the entrance to
the harbor. The fort remained un-
der the control Of the state until 1898,
when 1t was turned over to the ma
tional government, and named in
honor Of Col. James McHenry, of
who was secretary of war
In Washington's cabinet.

ships of the day, and the usefulness
Of the old fort, even as an inner de-
fense, has passed away absolutely.
But it will live In history, linked with
the national song.
On September 13, 1914, after the
sacking of Washington, the British
feet came up the bay, having on
board the troops under the veteran
Gen. Ross. 1t was the latter's boast
that he would eat his supper in Bal
timore or hell" He neyer got to
Baltimore, having been killed at
North Point, where he landed In the
early part Of e battle.

son of Maryland, had on tho evening

some captured friends. He and his
vessel were detained in order that
he might not take back information

Future generations who will visit
the Yosemite valley and marvel at
the wonderful beauty and grandeur
Of this garden spot win be grateful
to the federal government, by whose
act in the year 1906 this spot in the
great state of California was preserv-
ed as a perpetual government reser-
walton. With the taking over of the
mysterious valley" as It used to
be called, new boundary lines have
been surveyed. and within three
months the hitherto tedious stage
journey over the mountains will have
given place to the trolley line which
enters the valley through a canyon
at its western end, and next spring
the tourists who visit the wonderful
place will be able to make the trip
comfortably by trolley-the requisite
electricity for which will be furnished
by water power.
The reservation, as now officially
outlined, Is 80 miles in width. from
east to west, and 40 miles long from
north to south. But the valley itself
is only six miles long by half a mile
