In the eighth inning the Robins

XTOLTS—the units for measuring
electrical force—are named in
honor of Alesandro Volta, Italian
professor who tamed the electric
spark in the early 1800s.
Up until then electricity was pro
duced only by rubbing a piece of
glass, resin or wax with the dry
hand or a piece of dry cloth, making
a spark. Electricity had no prac
tical use—except
as a novelty of
the French draw
ing rooms. There
gentlemen who
wore laces would
shock ladies who
wore hoop skirts
by generating
static electricity
and then touch
ing the ladies on
the cheek. This
pastime is much
less shocking,
however, than
some of the others that history says
went on in French drawing rooms
and perhaps we should not minimize
the importance of static electricity.

Alesandro Volta
At any rate, Alesandro Volta
spent the greatest part of his life
trying to generate electricity with
out rubbing anything. One day he
tried piling silver and zinc discs of
equal size upon each other with wet
pieces of cloth between. He con
nected the first and last discs with
a wire and got—not a shock, but the
first steady current of electricity.

Earl Mesanda, Adams county,
spent $10 an acre in 1946 to
establish a pasture by the trash
mulch method. He obtained $2,000
of milk from cows pastured on that
10-acre fied in 1947 and he seeded
14 more acres.
Tests in building freezer units at
home indicate the builder should use
six inches of insulating material.
Thinner insulation runs up the
operating costs and more insulation
makes the box too bulky.

Agronomy specialists at Ohio
State University say it is very easy
to push up the yield of permanent
pastures to twice or three times
their present rate of grass produc
tion, and some Ohio farmers have
made their pastures enough better
so they now carry six to eight times
their former quota of livestock. Most
of the permanent pasture was used
as cropland until it became too poor
to grow profitable crops and the soil
has received little or no fertilizer or
lime since being used as pasture.
Many gardeners are disappointed
with the amount of crop harvested
for the total muscle expended but do
not realize their plants may be chok
ing to death. All plants require a
considerable amount of air in the soil
and they cannot get a sufficient sup
ply if the ground is poorly drained or
is packed so tightly air cannot circu
late slowly through it. Drainage and
use of material to lighten the soil
helps aeration.

True Tales About Ohio
(Concluded from page 1)
uncle, Lewis Cass. Secretary of Stare
under President Thomas Jefferson,
he heard the king telling of his
travels in America when a refugee.
One of the king’s stories was that
of his ill treatment at the Forks
tavern.
His tale substantially was that of
Old King Charlif excepting that he
still stoutly declared that the ac
commodations there were lousy. And
the manners of the landlord were
horrible.
After that King Charlie was the
biggest man in whole Forks territory
—“a bigger man than old Grant,”
one primitive settler wrote.
Tavern Was Center of Town
For more than a year after Cosh
octon was made the seat of Coshoc
ton County courts were held in Old
King Charlie’s tavern and many of
the early sermons at the Forks were
preached in the tavern barroom. It
was in its brightest glory when the
militia musters and balls at the close
of court were held there.
To many of the old settlers of the
day life would barely have been
worth the living but for Old King
Charlie’s tavern.
Charles Williams was a product
of the primitive backwoods. He was
bom in 1764 near Hagerstown, Mary
land, and was brought by his family
to West Virginia, near Wheeling.
Striking out for himself, Tie
labored for a time in the salt works
10 miles below Coshocton, but when
past middle age settled at the Forks
where he was regarded as one
ot
the first settlers. Clever, indomit
able and possessing most of the
vices of the era he grew’ popular
with nearly everyone and prominent
all over the Muskingum and Wal
honding, as well as the immediate
Coshocton County area. He died in
1840.
The Forks of the Muskingum al
ways has been rich in history and
in tradition. Besides the six Dela
ware towns a Shawaneese village was
on the Wakatomika five miles from
its junction .with the Tuscarawas.
The village, Goschachgunk, on the
site of Coshocton, was the principal
town of the Turtle tribe of the Dela
wares, which originally came from
Florida.
80 Houses in Indian Village
Nearly 80 Indian houses, buil^ of
logs and bark, stretched in two
parallel rows, with a regular street
between, along the river bank below
the junction, where Coshocton’s lower
streets now are. Prominent among
the log, bark and limb houses was
the council-house, where braves of
the different Delaware tribes as
sembled, smoked their pipes and
conducted the affairs of the Dela
ware nations in a wise and dignified
manner.
It was only two and one-half
miles below the Forks that David
Zeisberger and John Heckswelder,
Moravian' missionaries, with eight
families, totaling 35 persons, Lich
tenan—-“Pasture of Light”—in 1776.
The site was selected in deference to
Netawatwees, a friendly Delaware
chief, who already had become
Christianized.
On the first Sunday after the mis
sion site had been chosen and while
trees yet were being felled for its
cabins, the whole population of
Goschachgunk in a body went there
to attend services—heathen and
Christian together.
There be delights, then be rec
reation and jolly pastimes that will
fetch the day about from sun to
sun, and rock the tedious year as in
a delightful dream.

Hero of Shimonoseki
'T'HE United States navy never
had a braver nor more daring
officer than David Stockton Mc
Dougal, who was commander of the
steam frigate Wyoming during the
Civil war.
Ordered to patrol Asiatic waters
in search of Confederate vessels
preying upon Union commerce, he
found that a greater threat to Unit
ed States shipping came from the
Japanese. The Mikado had ordered
all foreigners expelled from Japan
and the surrounding waters. Fanat
ical Japanese had already made
several attacks on American ves
sels when Commander McDougal
arrived at the Straits of Shimono
seki.
Along the shore were high bluffs
fortified with several batteries of
heavy artillery. Ahead of him were
three Japanese war vessels. In
spite of the heavy opposition, he
steamed into the straits past the
blazing shore batteries and engaged
the three vessels.
The first fire of the Wyoming sank
two of the ships and then silenced
the third. This allow’ed McDougal
to turn his attention to the batteries
along the shore. Reversing his
course through the straits, he delib
erately invited continued fire, but si
lenced every one of the Japanese
guns.
Had this incident occurred at any
other time than when attention was
centered on Gettysburg and Vicks
burg, the fame of this dauntless
navy officer who fought a good-sized
naval engagement with one ship,
would have rung ’round the world.
