COAST GUARDS SAVED DEER
Through Ice, Revived 1t and
Set It Free.

Humanitarian activities of the coast
guard extend to the saving of wild
animal life. A deer chased by dogs
attempted to cross the ice, crashed in,
was rescued, nearly done for, by the
coast guard crew of the station at
Quonochontaug, r. l.; was taken into
the station boat and thence to the sta
tlon; was worked over until 1t re-
vived, and then was set at liberty.
The tale comes in the report of
the keeper of the station. The Incl
dent happened on the morning of jan
uary 3, when, about ten o'clock, the
station crew sighted the deer, pursued
by dogs, crossing a marsh about halt
mile away. The hunted animal at
tempted to cross pond on thin and
rotten ice. 1t was observed to fall
through, and try in vain to extricate
itself.
Three surfmen launched a small
skiff and reached the deer after an
hours work in breaking through the
Ice. The deer was nearly dead from
its struggle in the icy water.

they are reflected downward to the
windows of the buildings north and
west of the monument, and the cool,
gray surface is seen to be marked with
IL shining lines of gold.
Theoretically, a similar effect could
be obtained from some point of OBJ
servation at each moment when the
suns rays are Intercepted by the slop-
ing top of the monument, but only an
airship could attain the necessary
vantage point.
To protect the monument from light
ming the men of science agreed on
number of iron bands, heavily galvan-
lied and gold plated to prevent rust
Ing The bands are connected with
tn" aluminium point of the monument
and the framework of the elevator, and
ut the base iron cables lead the cleo
tricity into n deep well, where it harm
lessly expends its force. The protec-
ton has proved to be perfect.-Youths

miles from the mansion house of to-
day is the site of an old mill, known
to have been built by this same Angus
tine Washington. That mill was on
the banks of the Epsewasson creek.
The walls, which were laid in lime
stone, began to crumble back in the
sixties and the farmers in the vicinity
hauled away some of the stone.
This mill was in actual use for 80
years by General Washington, and so
superior was the quality of the flour
he ground that 1t was admitted to Eng
lish markets without inspection.
The huge brick barn covered with
ivy one sees at Mount Vernon today
was built by Augustine Washington
also. Here baby George no doubt rode
on the back of the plow horses and
climbed into the farm wagons just as
country boys do today. But in 1739
a fire destroyed the house and Angus
tine moved down to another plantation
of his near Fredericksburg, Va. This
place was known as Pine Grove.

Mount Vernon-to his eldest son Law

The son of this Lawrence Washing
ton was Augustine, the father of Gen.
George Washington. Augustine took
his bride, Mary Ball, to his home at
Wakefield, in WAstmoreland. His sis
ter Mildred, inherited the Mount Ver-
non property, but on the death of her
husband, Roger Gregory, she sold 1t
to her brother Augustine. And it was
to this same place that the family were
removed in 1874, when George was n
baby of but two years of age. Here
he toddled about in his third and
fourth years.
1t is now believed that Augustine,
Georges father. built the first home at
Mount Vernon on what is the site of
the present mansion. Its beautiful sit
