of st. Louis and between the Missis-

This fort was first built In 171S,
when it was hastily constructed OF
wood by the French under Command
ant Boisbriant At that time 1t was
designed for protection Of the French
in case the Spaniards came up from
Santa Fe.
A new menace appeared in 1850
when the English became aggressive
during the, few years preceding the
French and Indian war. The English
troops we're. expected to march west
and the old fort was torn down to
make way for one built of stone.
This new structure cost about $780,
900. far more than any other fort In
America cost until long after that
date.
The powder magazine was built of
dressed stone and is still in good con-
dition. So are the wells. which were
lined with stone. The material was
obtained from a quarry four miles
away and carried from the quarry to

Lockwood, Ohio.-Jacob z. Seitz. q
resident Of this place, has Matched out
AZ chicks. He did 1t all BIZ him
self, spent all his time on the nest
and says that being human incu-
bator isn't so hard job as many per-
sons might think. He admits that
only for the care and attention Of his
wife who brought him his food daily,
and kept him supplied with tobacco
he would have been unable to keep his
nest 30 wen and the hatch might have
been lost.
For eighteen days Mr.. Seitz had
watched over his three hens with all
the care of a mother and kept telling
his neighbors that he was going to
have at least IS chicks when the
hens came on their nests. But a
few days ago he went to his hen
house and found his poultry gone.
He grabbed up a basket. wrapped the
warm eggs into It and ran home Then
he and his wife discussed what they
should do to save them
The result was that Mr.. seitz made
a bed in the callar, Into which his
wife tucked him with q blanket All
the eggs were carefully placed about
him. In this bed nest he remained
for three days ana brought out AZ
chicks.

heretofore deemed impossible. and
their success has set new engineer
ing pace for the entire world.
