Place Where Americans First
Fought Under Own Flag to
Be Museum Site.

Now Y0rk.-After years and years
of Indifference and neglect something
has been done at last to set aside as Il
park and national shrine Brooklyn's
most historic ground-the site of the
Battle of Long Island.
The board of estimate has voted to
oroulre the buildings on the block
where the chief engagement of the
Rattle Of Long Island was fought.
Here General Stirling. August 81,
177G. with less than 500 men. held back
10000 British and charged them five
separate times, preventing the British
from closing the iron ring. so that the
Americans might escape across the
marshes to the refuge of the inner line
of fortifcations on Brooklyn Heights.
And if the present generation does not
know it, Washlngton's officers realized
10 the full the mighty deeds performed
by General Stirling and his Maryland
ers that day and called General Stir
ling ms brave man as ever lived"
Near 14sth Anniversary.
Now the first step has been taken
TO clear the ground for a memorial
park in which shall rise dignified COL
ums which shall stand forever re-
minder of the valorous deeds per-
formed there on that day.
1t is nm appropriate time for ac-
tlon for in another year one hundred
and forty-eight years will have passed
since the MnryIanders stood against
the best troops Europe ever sent to
these shores and fought them to a
Il Staudstill, although outnumbered twen-
ty to one. And while they held them
Il AZ Nicholas Vechte's old stone house
tincntuIS escaped across the marsh
lines in the very nick of time.
The stones of that house which pos
ses-rd the added distinction of being
Wushington's headquarters before the
5attIp. are still buried under the
ground, historians say, and the house
may be restored. 1t was built in 1863
ami covered when the land was
filed in.
All these years Brooklyn has never
marked the spot Maryland has how
4 ever, a bronze tablet which bears testi-

Octopus Is Shy,

Don't Frighten Fishermen.
Each of the eight tentacles Is COW

these form a vacuum when fastened
on an object. Fishermen haul them
out of the traps with their bare hands
and throw them in boxes in a manner
that Is extremely undignlfied to fish
that has an age-old fictional reputation
OF being a man killer and boat
smasher."
In the picturesque food shops that
line the narrow streets of San Fran
cisco's colorful Chinatown, the ten.
tacles of the deviltish may be seen
hanging from hooks alongside many
other edibles that are strange to the
native American. On the floors of the
wholesale fish houses here the devil.
fish may be seen stacked In jellylike
heaps, with tentacles, in some cases,
extending ten feet across, five feet
from each side of the small, egg-shaped
head.
The traps at Santa Cruz. where the
majority of the devilfish are caught on
the Pacific coast, are built like fly
traps, only much larger The traps are
made of wire with cone-shaped en-
trance for the octopus to squeeze
through in order to reach the bait.
Changes Color in Moment.
Instead of being a fighter, the devil
fish protects itself from attack by
changing its color and hiding from Its
enemy, according to Professor Heath
He says:
ITO agility and naturally acute
senses should be added their surpris-
ing ability to change their color to har-
monize with that of their surround
| ings, so that prey and enemies alike
are usually unaware of their prox-
unity. This color change is based upon
minute elastic sacS filled with pigment
and supplied with muscles for causing
their expansion.
"As a devilfish crawls about on the
sea bottom its color can be seen to
change in a twinkling from deep choco-
late through dull red and to gray. If
sand or rock is encountered on the
journey the skin is usually thrown
into Jumps and ridges, so that under
all conditions the body Is practically
invisible"

There Is another interesting side TO
Uncle Sans coal land holdings, which
was brought out in hearings before
the acting secretary of the Interior.
Four sections in every township were
originally granted to the state of Utah
for support of schools, provided they
were not known mineral lands. A sec
ton of such land in Carbon county,
Utah, contains very valuable coal de-
posits which are being worked by two
coal companies. The state of Utah
argued that this section was not known
to be valuable for its coal deposits
on the date the land grant became ef-
fectire. The hearing was on an at,-
peal from the decision of the general
land office. If the case is finally de-
cided against the state, then Utah can
select other lands in place of the lost
coal mine site, and will be entitled to
receive 37k per cent of the royalties
collected by the federal government
from any coal leases granted on this
original school section
