Col Wright Rives has an excellent
memory of the old-time landholders in
that neighborhood. He tells interesting
stories of Col. Hickey, who was clerk
of the United States Supreme Court and
whose place was three-quarters OF a mile
south of Fort Lincoln. DR.. &. H. Nichols,
the first superintendent of the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane, also owned
a farm about half mile east Of Col.
Hickey's. and the old Nichols house is
still standing.

railroad tracks. Its fire could reach a
network of roads centerins at Bladens-

branch half mile and mile below the
confluence of Northwest branch and Sligo
branch. the union of which streams forms
the Eastern branch.
In Gen. Barnard's report on the de-
fenses of Washington is this relating to
Fort Lincoln:
1.-The right of the northern line at Fort
Lincoln was of the first points es-
tablished and fortified. Overlooking the
most important thoroughfares to the city,
the site was at the same time the outer
most of the commanding heights lying be-
tween these routes and the Eastern
branch. From its summit the surface
descended rapidly, though with even and
perfectly practicable slopes, toward the
valley Of Bladensburg. Toward the East

II is a question whether this picturesque
recess has fulfilled the hopes of it's de-
sinners. Really, not a great many per-
sons rest there in summer. because COM
rarat ve,y few persons walking through
the Capitol grounds pass that way. 1t
is off the usual track of foot-pilgrims.
Nor is il covered inside and out with
ivy. as its projectors said 1t would be.
Ivy grows around Il but the vines that
produce most of the summer shade are
moonvines that die after the first blight
ir.- frost.
The grotto was built in 1SS1-2. F. H.
Cobb engineer in charge of the improve
ment of the Capitol grounds in accord
ance with the Olmsted pans, said in his
report. October l. 1881:
There has been so much complaint
from the want of a resting place for
those who walk from the bottom of the
hill to the landing that to meet this
want structure is now being erected
desi gned to combine both drinking foun-
tan and a secluded cool retreat"
Mr. Olmsted in justifying the idea lead
ing up Is the building of this grotto had
written:
''The use of ordinary park seats. either
movable or fixed, will be better avoided
IN these grounds, for reasons of taste and
proprety as well as the disorder and
nu sance to which they would lead. If 1t
should be attempted to do without any
r. stns place however, the inconvenience
that would result would prODaDIy IeaQ 10
the adoption of some unsuitable expedi-
eut. Hence it has been thought better to
introduce special arrangements designed

On the origin Of life itself he was
discreetly vague. That the germs
of it could hardly have survived
the original roasting was, he de-
clared, fairly certain. Therefore,
it had come later. Had it built
itself out of the cooling, inorganic
elements of the globe? Very
likely. Had the germs of it arrived
from outside upon a meteor? It
was hardly conceivable. On the
