How Fort POnchartrain
Changed to Fort Detroit

According to Farmers History
Of Detroit" the forerunner Of Fort
Detroit was called Fort Pontchar-
train. which was built in 1701 ON the
first rise Of ground above the river,
between what Is jefferson avenue,
Woodbridge street Griswold and
Shelby streets. The space was In
closed BY wooden picketS driven In
TO the ground ~ closely aS possible
TO form a fence ten feet high. On n
later date the stockads was made
about IS feet high and ut the four
corners were bastionS.
In 170S the fort was partially
burned by the Indians and remained
defensively weak until Ills, when II
was rebuilt and became one Of the
strongest forts In the country. A
number Of immigrants arrived from
France In 1740 and the stockade was
enlarged and when additional troops
arrived In 1T5l, It was known a.
Fort Detroit. It's size was increased
In lisa, 175S. 175S, as well as In l700.
after the surrender TO the English.
Military incidents connected with
its history include the seige Of Pom
tiac In 1853, its use az a base for
raiding parties during the revolu-
ton and its capture by 4 Canadian

CROWD An UNION PICNIC

The Union picnic, sponsored by

Park, Minneapolis, July 81, was
favored with much of the spirit of
former years.
A large crowd from both Of the
"Twins" enjoyed the beautiful
weather and the social contacts
that for many occur only this once
each year.
The young people overaowed the
park, spent their nickels at the
candy booth and wound up at the
free show staged by the park COM
missioners. The older folks dined
and gossiped and only a few were
able to crowd into the ice cream
line that the children kept full until
the delicacy was exhausted.

Amber Is Petriaed Gum

Amber is a light translucent sub
stance, pale yellow or brownish in
color. 1t Is the petrifed gum Of
trees Of the pine family. It is usu-
ally found washed up on the shores
Of certain seas, such as the Baltic,
Adriatic, and China. In most cases,
It appears in rounded humps up to
ten pounds In weight. The use Of
amber for ornaments Is very old,
being traced back to the Stone age.
Amber beads, etc, have been found
In prehistoric remains In Switzer-
land, Egypt and Assyria. The Greek
name for amber was "Elektron,"
from which we got our word "Elec-
tricity," as amber becomes electri-
ned when rubbed. Insects, such
as flies. are often found in humps
Of amber; they got entangled in the
gum and became fossilized with it

Cathedral of Antwerp Is
Tribute to the Faithful

The Cathedral Of Antwerp, dedi-
Gated to Our Lady and known as
Notre Dame, is one Of the finest
Gothic buildings In Europe and one
Of the most ma gnihcent and famous
churches Of Christendom. About the
year 1852, writes an Antwerp cor
respondent In the New York Her
aid Tribune, the population Of Ant
werp undertook the construction Of
the Church Of Notre Dame, known
later as the Cathedral Of Antwerp,
and laid the foundations Of the
choir. Without knowing II ever the
building would be completed, wor-
shippers were put to work, guided by
their profound faith that their de-
scendants might finish the structure.
The choir was not even terminated
In l406 and the tower was COM
pleted 200 years later. The construc-
ton Of the tower was begun In 14S2
and completed In 1928. The central
nave with its small chapels, the
chapter house and the sacristy from
1882 to 1920. The interior Is divided
In seven naves and $50 arches sup
ported by 125 columns.
The cathedral contains many art
treasures, including three master
pieces Of Rubens, '"The Descent
From the Cross" ''The Raising of
the Cross" and ''The Assumption of
the Virgin"
