somewhat apart from the scene of the mems
labors and used it as studio. 1t had low
bench for furniture, upon which he could put
the blocks to be cut, and also a seat where
Alice could sit and watch his work
First, the young fellow took some brown
paper and on it drew beautiful design for
piece of sculpture. In it there were to be cam
mons, flags, cannon balls and guns, and the
whole made quite an imposing piece for the
sally port He measured the walls and de-
termined the size and proportions of Nhis
sculpture.
.See the pretty things the man is going to
make,' said Alice to her papa, when he came
down to the works one day. Papa looked at
the plan and was surprised. 1t was much
more artistic than he supposed it would be-
Then as he examined the proportions, the
scale according to which George Horton meant
to carve, his mustache went up little; for
he was smiling grimly at the thought that
there could hardly be time to finish all that
before the young prisoner would have to be
interrupted in his work-and shot! But he
said to himself that it would do no harm to let
him go ahead. 1t would please him and would
please the little girl, and it did not matter
very much whether the sculpture was ever
finished or not.
Horton looked about among the pieces of
brown stone, rubbed his finger along their sur
faces and picked out some of the larger and
finer grained blocks. He wheeled these in a
barrow to the spot he had selected, put one
on the bench and, with his design before him,
went to work.
Alice did not take much interest during the
first day or two, because he seemed to be
simply knocking the stone to pieces, and she
was afraid of being hurt by some Of the bits
that came flying through the air from the
chisel. But when the piece began to exhibit
the rough proportions of a cannon and OF a
draped flag and George showed her in the
picture what the part was and where it would
be in the completed work she became more
interested and would sit there talking to the
young fellow and watching him with admiring
eyes.
"You are truly working on the fort now.
aren't you?" she said to him. -
eyes, Alice, am making this II er you, and
it will be your present to the fort1 because it
was done to please you,' Geosgs answered
pleasantly. s&
He became absorbed in the woW, and it
went on bravey Alice's papa often came to
see it. He was quite surprised to find that
the young prisoner was really a sculptor He

who did not take so much interest in what was
going on. He had something else to consider
something even more serious to him than
was the defense of the colony to these young
patriots. He was thinking that by the time
they had finished the improvement in the forti
tication body of soldiers would march him
out on the open space within the fort, then
draw up blue and white line opposite to him
and aim at him with their glistening guns.
Then an officer would give the signal Bang!
would go the muskets, and very poor marks
men indeed must they be if they did not leave
him there on the ground-dead!
That was what the young man was consider
ing, and the thought was not pleasant one.
Not at all. He didn't desire to be shot. He
was only twenty-five. He preferred to live to
green old age and then die quietly in his bed.
But he had been arrested as a spy, and things
had looked suspicious when drawing of the
place was found upon him and he couldn't
give the countersgn
Then it was bad thing for him that he
confessed to coming from Kings County, which
was then hotbed of Tories. But all these
things had happened, and he had been taken
before the court and sentenced, in dreadfully
harsh way, to be shot. He had only some six
months to live. That was better than being
shot as soon as they captured him, but still it
wasn't very good. He greatly preferred not
to bo shot at all.
He was not treated cruelty in the mean time.
During certain part of the day he was per
nlitted to come out of his cell and walk about
in the Enclosures of Fort Jay. 1t was 50
pleasant to come there in the sunshine, under
the big, broad arch of the sky, and to feel the
cool sea breeze blow around him in friendly
way. There was great difference between
this and being kept in his hot cell, where a
small window let in light and air in such a
nliserly way.
He began to take considerable interest in
the woff of the fertilization after all. AS the

or's Island which have been revived
with apparently an excellent chance Of
approval by Congress, will necessitate
the removal of the ancient carving over the
sally port of Fort Jay.
This carving is said to have been the work
of prisoner who was condemned to death,
but who earned his release by designing and
cutting the embematic group which attracts
the attention of all who enter the sally port
of the old fort.
The proposed plans for improvement call
Tor the erection Of an eight-story building on
the site of the fort. The building, as planned,
will follow the contour of the fort, the walls
of which will be used as foundation. Ihls
will necesstate the removal of the sally port,
with it's famous carving, which was made early
in the nineteenth century.
In case of such removal no doubt the cary
ing will be preserved among Che many relics
which are now to be found on Governors
Island.
The story of the carving over the sally port
was told by John j. a Beckett in st. Nicholas
Magazine for November, 1888, and is here
with reprinted, by permission of the editor OF
that publication:
In the beginning of the century it lay there,
lust as comfortable bit of green cropping
out from the gray water as it is now. That
is, Governors Island was as cool and pleasant
q spot, as far as natural features go, as it is
today. But there are many things about 1T
at this present day which it did not have then:
The garrison quarters and the neat houses
fronting on the lawns, wherein the officers
enjoy so much sweet peacefulness after train
ing themselves for the terrible turmoil OF war,
are more numerous and more hornelike than
they were in those days.
The island has had many vicissitudes. one
of them was the building of Fort Columbus.
. There was fort there before-Fort Jay; but
the good people of New York thought this was
not stout enough for defense if the mother
country or France were to send men-o'-War

| The realistic movement Of the
| "Alma," presenting the cruiser going
nj a rapid rate, throwing off much
smoke, which is entwined with the
| feeting blue of the clouds above and
| beyond, is produced by simple de-
wise of pulleys, which pull the various
PARTS into which the warship is divided
In parallel motion and in doing so Gre
ate the illusion of movement, an illu-
sion which to the spectator in front
ii complete.
Spot lights with ripple effects are
used in creating the effect of waves
and several rows of lights from a high
elevation, as well as additional spot
lights, supply the steel blue color Of
the ship. Two cloud machines are
clouds. This cloud effect is produced
by painted mica disks revolving on
pivot with the light passing through
them. The main, center part of the
Alma" is set on a revolving disk,
which when moved changes completely
the vessels position. The other parts
OF the ship, seen in the first act, are
placed in tracks across which they are
moved back and forth by the pulleys.
When the Alma sinks, with the
waves dashing up against her furously,
the effect produced is one of fascinat-
ing realism. Once more the spot lights
with ripple effects come into action
and playing upon specially painted
canvas settings the lights split into
myriad particles, while the noise Of
furiously dashing waves is created
many feet away in separate room by
the simple movement of rifle shot over
a drum and the rolling of pebble stones
in another drum with wire mesh covers
The illusion of the German warship
Is likewise complete. Perhaps the
Shuberts may not like her construction
secret divulged, but she is everv bit
as small as she looks, while she seems
to be some 10000 meters away when
viewed from the audience, she is not

treaty, while only 17,OO0,OOO,OOO
marks had been paid out up to De-
cember l last.
Disarmament, a small army and 9TH
er forms of u-npreparedness got some
hard knocks last week. In the first
place the senate naval affairs commit
tee put the snuffer on the Borah res
olutiOn for a naval construction h0ii-
day, after hearing Admiral Coontz,
chief of naval operations, and Ad-
miral Taylor, chief constructor
of the navy. Both opposed the
plan for a cessation of naval con-
struction for six months. They said
it would cost as much to do this as to
continue to build, as contractors
would be able to collect large dam
age claims from the government.
Furthermore, they see no need for an
investigation as to what constitutes a
modern navy, being convinced by in
vestigations already made that the
capital ship is not obsolete and that
the present program of the United
States is correct.
General Pershing appeared before
the house naval committee and gave
a warning against unpreparedness
and pacifsm. He expressed approval
of a world conference on disarma-
ment, but said the United States
should proceed with its present army
and navy programs until at least five
great powers have entered into a
definite agreement.
On the other hand, the house, for
eign affairs committee reported fa-
vorably a resolution authorizing the
President to invite the nations of the
world to send delegates to a confer
ence to provide for disarmament.
