Event in American History.

November "a, 1853, marked the
evacuation and destruction of Fort
DuQuesne. A short time previous to
this the British had initiated the WORK
of fortifcation. The French, coming
down the Allegheny river from their
forts on and near Lake Erie made a
sudden descent on the small British
garrison. and the latter was forced o
surrender Internationally. The French
and their Indian allies completed the
fortification and called it Fort Du-
quesne. A British force commanded
by General Forbes was sent from the
east to retake the fort1fication, and
doubtlessly would have succeeded
without the loss of man had 1T not
been for the impetuous Captain Grant.
The fort was blown up while the main
force was yet ten miles east of the
site of the future great city. They
heard a. great explosion, saw volumes
of smoke, and realized at once that
the French and Indians had destroyed
the little fortification and had taken
to the woods and the rivers

was averted. lhereupon FREDERICK

HaDoverian frontier, and George also
made a show of warlike preparations

combatants with battle fronts OF

ing portable wireless telegraph plants
carried on motor-truck chassis geared
for speeds of twenty-five to thirty-five
miles per hour. The truck motor
drives an electrical dynamo which
generates the primary current Of the

radio transmission, and the complete
paraphernalia of condensers, inter-
rupters, collapsible antennae, etc., are
carried on the truck which is gen.
orally fitted with protecting shield

It's almost too good to be true. The

scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
turing eruptions disappear completely

were when they were young. There
is no romance in the world now, and
no heroism. The very winters and

used to be; in fact, life is altogether
on small, commonplace scale Now,
