FAMOUS FORTS
INU. S. HISTORY
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
A aMonument of Folly"

A Monument of Folly"
Much has been written about the
abandoned farms of New England, but
her abandoned forts are not so well
known. OF all Of these obsolete
strongholds none is more interesting
than Fort Knox on the NarrOws Of the
PenOhscot river at Prospect, Maine.
This fort, which derived its name
from the fact that it was built on
land once owned by Henry Knox, the
Boston bookseller who became Wash
ingtou's chief of artillery in the Rev
olutiOn and the first secretary Of war
for the United States, was begun in
the early fOrties to protect the ship
building and commerce of the Penob-
scot, which was then at its height.
Work had progressed far enough at
the outbreak Of the Civil war to en-
able the War department to use Fort
Knox as a training school for many
of the artillery officers who served IN
the Union army. This was the near
est that Fort Knox ever came to
war record, however, for in 1869, after
construction had been in progress for
26 years, work on it was abandoned.
Costing about a million dollars, it
stands a monument of human folly"
writes one historian. "The recent ad-
vance in the science Of war is such
that Fort Knox would be scarcely
more effective in time of danger than
an ancient feudal castle of the Middle
Ages" Monument Of folly" though
Fort Knox may be, it is also a monu-
ment to the days when masonry was
fine art. Huge white slabs of gran
ite. Ouarried from Mount Waldo,
few miles north and f1Oated down the
river in scows, are set in its walls
edge on edge with beautiful precision,
and a great circular staircase Of solid
pieces of granite is the crowning
piece Of workmanship. Near the
shore batteries can still be seen the
brick ovens where the 42-pound can
non balls were heated, but nearly all
of the artillery placed in the fort dur
ing the Civil war has been removed
to adOrn parks, armOries and other
public places in New England.
Designed to be the finest fortress on
the Atlantic coast, Fort Knox is now
abandoned, and it is one Of the several
forts whose sale has been authorized
by congress within recent years. Al
though It lacks the historic back
Ground Of many other forts, there are
few which are as picturesque as this
grim old monument Of fOlly'' which
stands guard over an unfulflled hope
on the banks of the "Rhine of Amer
lea" the PenOhscOt river.

awarded Joseph H. Passwater OF
Clayton against Norman G. Jones of
Georgetown, by a jury in an inquisi-
ton at the bar before Judge Rich
ards in the Superior Court late Fri

Passwater was seriously injured. He

and Ayres J. Stockley. Neither the
defendant nor his attorney appeared
before the jury. Execution on the

night as all of the sun was obscured.
The fast, cross-country, rushing
moon-shadow ushering in the dark
est period was but very vaguely OBJ
served. The shadow bands fiickering
on the snow were plainly visible
both just before and after the total
eclipse. These seemed to be an inch
or so wide and patterned like an ir-
regularly woven net. They pointed
toward the sun, were in constant
motion while seeming to ripple from
the west to the east.
Beyond the power of words to
convey adequately an idea Of its
magnificence, one places the corona
or crown. AS we saw it, the corona
appeared to be ring around the
sun. 1t comes into sight only when
the sun is cut off in an eclipse. Bril-
liantly white though not dazzingly
bright as the sun is, the corona, in
it's dense part, approximated one
sixth the diameter of the black ball
it hung around. OFF from this thick
er crown fioated thick punches of
fog-like illuminated something. A
few seconds previous to the end Of
the visibility Of the corona, down
low at the right Of the underside Of
the sun, two streaks of light flashed
out through the heavy part of the
band. The suns crown was some
thing to rejoice in and marvel at.
Such a stupendous sight defies SEN
sible criticism or estimation by ig-
norant men. The significance of the
thing we saw or failed to see must
be explained by the scientists.
Everybody was pleased very
much to have seen the eclipse. The
sharp cold made plenty of heavy
wraps the democratic apparel of the
day. A common purpose to view and
consider with intelligence a two

State of Delaware, namely the Every
Evening and the Milford Chronicle.
The governor spoke on the topic
of Conservation of the Natural Re-
sources of Maryland" dwelling upon
the sea food supply Of the Eastern
Shore. 1T is obvious" said the gov
ernor, that our sea food resources
will be exhausted unless stringent
legislative measures are taken to
curb the inroads that are now being
made upon the fish, oyster and crab
supplies of the Chesapeake Bay"
Plans for the advancement of these
great Maryland industries were out
lined by the speaker.
In concluding, Governor Ritchie
extended an invitation to the MEM
bers of the two press associations to
hold one of their future meetings at
the executive mansion in Annapo-
| lis.
Interesting talks were given by
Kirk Dugdale, an advertising man
from Baltimore, and w. P. Beazell,
managing editor of the New York
World.
At the Saturday morning meeting
Church Advertising" was the top
ic of an interesting address made to
the members by Rev. H. P. Fox,
pastor of Asbury M. 3. Church, of
Salisbury. The speaker stressed the
value of educational work on the
part of newspapers, saying that they
should instruct the clergy in a
friendly way as to the proper meth
cd of advertising forcefully.
Rev. Mr.. Fox was Of the opinion
that sensationalism should be elm
mated from church advertising, and
he also said newspaper men should
make an effort to acquaint them
selves with church termonology, and
that it would be well to keep records
of church activities for greater ac-
curacy in reporting the events.
There was considerable discus
sion regarding a suggestion to effect
a more binding organization Of the
newspapers of Delaware, Maryland
and the Eastern Shore of Virginia
into a larger group, but at the same
time to maintain the entity Of the
present state group.
It was decided to leave this mat
ter in the hands Of the officers OF
the two organizations, with instruc-
tions to report on the same at the
Ocean City meeting in July. A COM
mittee of three was appointed with
Everett C.. Johnson, Of Newark, as
chairman, to prepare an exhibit OF
fine printing, which will be display
ed at the Ocean City meeting.
Officers Elected
The morning session lasted two
hours, and was featured by many
discussions of interest to the mem
bership. The meeting concluded
with the election Of officers, as fol-
lows: President, Edwin H. Brown,
of the Centreville Record; vice
president, George Carter, Whining
ton Evening Journal; secretary
treasurer, William, F. Metten, Will
mington Every Evening. The execu-
tive committee was reelected as fol-
lows: Everett c. johnson, Of New
ark; F. E. Shannahan, of the Eas-
tern Star Democrat, and F. H. Ufil-
ton, of the Kent News, Chestertown.
The two associations adjourned to
attend luncheon te1dered them by
the Salisbury Rotary and Lions
Clubs in the Wicomico Hotel.

cleared up, and the physician, it is
stated, in these cases, usually pleads
being busy and forgetting to send in
the report. Sometimes no reports
are turned in at all if the patient re-
covers.
With an efficient county health
unit functioning, this character Of
cases and situations would be min
imized, it is stated.
Another plea which the State
Health and Welfare Commission is
making is for money with which to
purchase antitoxin, for other all
ments than diptheria. At the present
time according to DR.. Davis, there
has been a toxin discovered for the
immunizing of the scarlet fever
germ. By the time an appropriation
approved by the General Assembly
now in session would be available,
this serum for vaccination purposes
would be ready for those who wish
it.
"Scarlet fever is the ailment that
seems to affect the largest number,
when compared with other diseases"
said DR.. Davis. "Of course there are
epidemics at times of measles, or
something else, but taken year IN
and year out scarlet fever rolls up
the highest percentage of cases. If
we could check and minimize the
number of cases in Delaware by the
use Of this antitoxin, it would be a
great blessing"
Questioned why scarlet fever was
top notcher in diseases cases, Dr..
Davis stated that many times chill
dred had the disease in light FORM
when their parents failed to call in
the services of a physician or else
for other reasons failed to obey
quarantine regulations. He pointed
this out as another reason why coun--
ty health units would prove OF great
service to the state.

The Eclipse A
Wonderful Sight
Communication

(communlcat1On)
The total eclipse of the sun as
seen from Westerly, R. L, on jan
uary "a was a wonderful sight. For
a joyous two minutes Nature gave
man a view long to be treasured. In
group of several hundred people
not a sound was heard when old Sol
displayed his garments of light. One
may well believe that, of old, battles
at their fierest have stopped with
warriors awed by the compelling
glory of complete blotting out of
our sun by our moon. All eyes had
but one object in view. Telescopes,
field glass, or smoked bits of glass
did not help the vision Obtainable
with the naked eyes, Of the beauti-
full corona. Having seen the suns
glorious crown, few or none waited
to gaze at the partial eclipse show
ing as the moon moved off the face
of the sun.
Even the weather conspired with
nature to make January "a a perfect
day. The wind was still and the tenn
perature of about ten degrees made
the air invigorating. Until half an
hour before the period of totality it
was feared that the clouds would
hide some of the anticipated grand
eur However, as the sun rose the
clouds withdrew to the horizon. All
rejoiced to see a perfectly clear sky
making easy full observation of the
great lunarsolar treat.
Just before the last edge Of the
sun became invisible, a pearly gray,
faint haze was noticed. This gave
way to the darkness Of moonlight
