BUILT A FORT IN CANADA
Foolish 6lunder That Was Made BY
the United States Government
After the War Of 1919.

1t is not generally known that our
government once undertook to erect
a fort on British soil. The site of
this fort, afterward called Fort
Montgomery. was about half mile
northeast of Rouse's Point, N. Y,
not far from the foot of Lake Cham
plain. Popularity it was known as
"Fort Blunder." 1t appears that
after the war Of 1912 our govern
ment felt the necessity Of guarding
the entrance to Lake Champlain.
Accordingly in 1915 was begun the
erection of Fort Montgomery. The
original notion was to construct a
great fort. In those days that meant
fort with three tiers of guns.
When the work had been in hand
for some time it was discovered that
owing to an error of early surveyors
the actual boundary between New
York and Canada, the forty-ffth
parallel of north latitude, passed
south of the fort. Work on the fort
was suspended for about rs years,
and not until the year 1912 was the
territory restored to the United
States. The agreement known as
the Nebsse -Ashburton treaty, estsb
fishing the northwestern boundary,
made the line between New York
and Canada conform to the old and
incorrect early survey. Thus "Fort
Blunder" was again on United States
territory. The people of Maine, it is
said, never quite forgave Daniel
Webster for giving up, as they
claimed he did, a great slice of terri
tory to which they thought them
selves entitled in order to save
Rousc's Point.
After the boundary question was
settled the fort was finished, but it
was never manned by more than suf-
ficient men to keep it in order, and
lit was never armed" -Harper's
Weekly.

GOSSIP AND SCANDAL.

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal. but the two things are
quite different. The scandal monger
is usually detested. while the gossip
is often universally popular. In
fact the popularity which it brings
in its train is one of the strongest
incentives to gossip. A really ac-
complished gossip is social acqui-
sition.
Thousands Of people who do not
gossip themselves like to listen to it.
1t saves them the trouble Of talking.
THE gossip is generally good natured.
The scandal monger seldom is. After
all, what is more interesting than
human nature That is the stock
in trade of the gossip, as it is of the
novelist and the dramatist. Gentle
woman.

Charles Hawkins of Peterborough,
England, has succeeded in building a
series of most interesting models, the
chief of which is large and compre-

in order to secure accuracy. The
