Most Famous Thorouehfarc.
On the morning Of March 81. 1914. o
man OF clerkly appearance might have
been seen standing at the entrance 10
the dllapidated fortress OF New Am
sterdam with a sheaf Of official papers
In his hand. 1t was not an inviting
prospect which confronted the observer
that raw spring morning, for the
roughly built wooden houses scattered
about the fort looked sadly weather
beaten, and the struggling. III made
roads and paths which served as streets
were Uttered with refuse and rubbish
Of every sort and ankle deep IN mud
The man at the fort did not, how
ever, waste much time In gazing at
these discouraging surroundings They
were familiar to him in every dreary
detail, for Cornelis Van Tienhoven had
been secretary Of the council at New
Amsterdam for many years. and If he
had ever been disturbed by the pre-
vailing wretchedness of the town II
had long since ceased to afford him
the slightest concern. Slowly turning
his back to the view, he tackled one Of
bis official documents to the wall Of
the fort and then. swinging about and
picking his way across the miry
ground to convenient tree, affixed an
other paper.
Van Tienhoven's handwriting was
easily read. Indeed. good penmanship
was the only qualification be had ever
displayed for his Office, and that virtue
had wholly failed to endear him to the
populace, who hated the very sight OF
his clerical fist The particular notice
he had transcribed that morning. how
ever, was singularly free from offense.
1t merely recited a resolution of the di-
rector and council Of New Netherland
that a barrier be erected at the north
of the settlement sufficiently strong to
prevent the straying of cattle and to
protect them from the Indians and
warned" all interested persons to ap-
pear on next Monday. the 4th Of
April. at o'clock" for the prosecution
OF this work.
1t was not long, therefore, before
the colonists were hard at work at the
projected cattle guard, and within a
few days 1t stood completed. There is
no authoritative information as to how
It was constructed, but there is evil
dence that 1t consisted mainly Of un-
trimmed trees felled at the edge Of the
adjoining forest and piled together to
form a sort Of barricade and that its
northern line. running certainly from
the present William street. New York
city. to what is now Broadway and
possibly from shore to shore. marked
the farthest limits Of New Amsterdam.

termined the location of Wall street

Oriental secret TsIsaraphy.

In Asia and Africa the natives pos
sess a mystic power of rapidly and Sc
cretly communicating news over vast
distances. An instance of this strange
faculty was furnished during the In
dian frontier expedition against the
Waziris In 1895. Seventy-five miles as
the crow files and 120 miles by noun
tain roads from their base at Sheik
Budin the British troops defeated the
Waziris. Heavy mist prevented the
news Of this success being heliograph-
ed until the following day, when. COM
munication being opened up, the Brit
ish officer at Sheik Budin anticipated
the news of the victory by stating he
had been Informed Of It by natives on
the very evening Of fits occurrence.
The most famous instance Of this sort
is associated with the assassination OF
Lord Mayo by convict in the Anda-
man islands. Within a few hours Of
this murder an English official at Sim
la was told by his Pathan servant that
the vlceroy was dead. Telegrams an
nouncing the news did not arrive until
the next day. How such messages are
transmitted Is hidden from Europeans,
but again and again In india, as also
In Egypt during the Sudanese cam
palgns and In South Africa during the
Boer war, the authenticity and speed
in such native teIegraphy were proved.

Founder Of EIsotrieaI soIenos.

Or. Gilbert Of Colchester, England, is
generally considered as the founder Of
the science Of electricity. He appears
to have been the first philosopher to
repeat carefully the observations Of
the ancients and apply to them the
principles Of scientific investigation.
In order to determine If other bodies
possessed the same property as amber
he balanced a light metallic needle on
a pivot and observed whether or not it
was affected by causing the excited or
rubbed body to approach It. In this
way he discovered that many bodies
possessed the property of attracting
light substances. Gilbert also discov-
cred the fact that atmospheric condi-
tons have much 10 do with electrical
phenomena. Gnbert's book, "De Mag
nete," may be fairly considered the
pioneer work in electrical science

The Stone Ace.

The stone age still exists among some
Of the islanders OF the south Pacific and
the Eskimos Of the extreme north as
well as in a few other spots here and
there on the earth. The progress OF
early culture In Europe seems to have
been from the south and east toward
the north and west, 80 that the emer-
gence Of the different peoples from
their age Of stone was accomplished
much earlier in southern and eastern
Europe than in the north and west.
But. while the stone age Of different
areas is thus not necessarily synchro-
nous. 1t seems to be true OF all Euro
pean areas that this is the earliest con
dition In which man has appeared upon
them. This holds for all other areas as

been fully established In India. China,

ERECT MONUMENT

FOUNDER OF THE
CHURCH IN AMERICA

Delaware Presbyterian ministers are
much Interested in the project to erect a
monument to Francis Mackenzie. founder
Of Presbyterianism in America. in the
Mackenzie Cemetery, I'm Accomac county,
Va. The monument will be dedicated
next May with Impressive ceremony. Will
mington clergymen will take part.
As early as 1852 the Scotch and Irish
Presbyterians who had settled on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland were writ
ing home and bewailing the lack of min
listers of their faith. Finally it grew TO
a petition. and was talked Of in the Pres
bytery of Laggan, in Ireland, where a
young man who had lust been ordained
heard It and the appeal touched his heart
to that extent that he offered to go TO
the new country and organize churches.
After his arrival five churches were or
ganized, and these were all in what was
then Somerset county, Md. but which
was later divided into Somerset. Worces-
ter and Wicomico counties. The five his
toric churches are Snow Hnl Mackenzie

beloved by the father that I'm his (Ander-
sons) win he is spoken of as ''son Max
emie" and the estate is left TO his wife
and himself as administrator.
The pioneer died probably in 17oS. as
his will was probated August ye 4th,

Of his death. his friend Kemp. 1t was the
custom in those days for rich widows to

AT Naomi Kemps death the property

went to the youngest daughter. Anne
Mackenzie, who, tradition says, married a
Mr.. Blair: then she married, after a short
widowhood, Robert King. After his death
she again ventured upon the sea Of matri-
mony, this time becoming the wife OF
George Holden. The plantation was hers
and she lived upon It until her death,
which occurred after the 10Th OF NOvem-
Der. 17S7. as that is the date Of her will,
which was probated January 29th. l7SS.
The plantation on Holdens Creek passed
into alien hands. with the sacred dust in
tered IN the burial ground, which was
not far from the house. as was the GUS
tom Of those days. This ground was en-
closed by a brick wall In later years the
stables OF the new owners encroached
upon this place, the wall was thrown
down. the headsiopes were broken. the
table tombs overturned OF broken. and
all was confusion.
Dr. McCook, president OF the Presby.
terian Historical Society has been inde-
fatigable I'm his efforts to locate the place
and to restore it as much as possible.
Thus, II the exact grave Of Mackenzie
IS not known. the spot where it is located
is known and marked Tor the informa-
tion Of all Presbyterians.
