NEW MONUMENTS
SET ASIDE BY U. S.
Fhrw Historic Spot* Now
Open to Public.
Washington.—For 38 year* Liberty
looking down on New York harbor
mut have blushed under the reverent
gaze of millions of Immigrants. Only
la October, 1924, did she come into
ber own, officially—she waa made a
national monument by an executive
order of President Coolldge. The or*
der reads that Fort Wood, N. Y.,
shall be made a national monument.
Fort Wood Is no more and no lesi
than the Statue of Liberty enlighten
ing the world.
In the same order that made the
Statue of Liberty what the American
people thought she was, four other
military reservations or parts of them
were set aside as national monuments
open to the public. One of these, Fort
Marlon at St. Augustine, Fla., Is well
known. The others, Castle Pinckney,
Charleston Harbor, S. O.; Fort Pu
laski, near Savannah, Ga., and Fort
Matanzas, near St. Augustine, are less
well known.
What They Commemorate.
“A massacre which probably was
the most terrible committed on Amer
ican soil, the only Intact example of
a medieval toft In North America, the
site where rifled guns first spelled the
doom of parapets, the scene of the
Civil war’s first shot and the first suc
cessful submarine attack, and the
modern world's equivalent of the
Colossus of Rhodes —these are the In
cidents memorialized by the five new
national monuments,” says a bulletin
of the National Geographic society
from Its headquarters In Washington.
“History knits together the stories
ot Fort Marlon and Fort Matanzas.
the latter 16 miles to the south. Don
Pedro Menendes, the ‘adelantado’ or
governor of Florida, founded St. Au
gustine In 1686 as a base from which
to attack the Huguenot colony at Fort
Caroline, 60 miles north. Spain
claimed the Huguenots trespassed on
their territory. But the Huguenots,
French Protestants, who had come for
religious freedom like the Pilgrims
were to come 06 years later, decided
to surprise the Spanish.
“Their fleet swooped down on SL
Augustine but a Florida hurricane
drove the French vessels on the beach
some miles south, wrecking every ves
sel. After a forced march Menendes
captured Fort Caroline. All the de
fenders were killed and the women
and children were carried away. Re
turning to SL Augustine he rushed
south to meet the shipwrecked French
They surrendered unconditionally.
“Binding the arms of his prisoners
Menendes started them In parties to
ward SL Augustine. Near the site of
the new national monumenL Fort
Matanzas, he placed a firing squad.
Florida's white sand was stained with
the blood of 200 French that day.
Matanzas In Spanish means ‘massa
cre.’
"Under the protection of the walle
of Fort Marlon, first known as San
Juan do Pinos and later as St. Mark,
the Spanish introduced into America
limes, lemons, citrons and China and
Beville oranges.
"Discovery of coquina, a soft shell
and coral stone, near St Augustine
about 1570, led to the replacement of
the wooden structure with the mate
rial a visitor sees today. Old Fort
Matanzas la coquina also. Thirty mil
lion dollars Is the reported cost of
Fort Marion. When King Ferdinand
IV heard this he exclaimed: ‘What!
Is this fort built of silver dollars?'
"Today the War department keeps
both forts In repair.
ft Qy'iy* p « f « n **-
•'Fort Pulaski Is located on the sea
end of a*sand spit dividing the mouth
of the Savannah river. Built on the
site of Revolutionary Fort Greene,
which was destroyed by a hurrtrane.
Fort Pulaski wts taken over by South
ern troops at the beginning of the
Civil war. Union troops attacking
Bavannah brought up some of the
first rifle cannon ever made and de
manded the fort's surrender. The
Confederate commander replied: T
have been sent here to fight, not-sur
render.' Despite a gallant defense the
rifled cannon pounded out a military
lesson that scrapped most of the
world’s forts.
"Fort Moultrie, that beat off a Brit
ish fleet In 1776, and Fort Sumter, the
Civil war’s Berajevo, are twin guerdt
to Charleston harbor. These two
forts are still Iq active use so Castle
Plackney, an uqused fort on Bbutes’
Folly Island, has been named a na
tional monument for Charleston har
bor. It Is opposite the point where
batteries first poured shot Into Sum
ter. Union forcee used Castle Pinck
ney in their final attack on Charles
ton. It was In this harbor that the
first submarine, run by steam, tor
pedoed a ship during the Civil war,
bat went to the bottom with Its vic
tim. Castle Pinckney also saw one of
the first attacks of an armored fleet
on forts.
"Bedloe's island provide* the foot
stool for Liberty. It has had a more
peaceful history. Prance’s lift of
1879 on the centenary of Independ
ence raised this oyster Island
of New Amsterdam to eternal fame.
The Colossus of Rhodes In Asia Minor
was one of the seven wonders of the
world. Tot Liberty Enlightening the
World rises to 181 feet above her
pedestal, SO feet higher than the re
posted height of the fallen wonder of
the Wear East. The American people
tstasedtotaiy accepted Liberty with
fsrver lmd enshrined her as First Lady
*ee American History."
DELHI SOON TO BE
INDIA’S CAPITAL
Fir»t of the New Building, b
Nearing Completion.
London.—Despite unforeseen obsta
cles and many delays Incident to the
great war, the work of rearing the new
Indian capital at Delhi has gone stead
ily on.
Latest reports to the Indian office
Indicate the first of the new buildings
will be occupied by the end of next
year.
Thus will be realized one of the
greatest building achievements of
modern times.
The new Indian capital is rising
from a desolate and barren waste. The
present English king, as emperor, at
bis coronation durbar in 1912, an
nounced the decision to transfer the
capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi
—not the old city of that name, but a
reclaimed desert outside and beyond
the older settlemenL
It was In 1913 that the town plan
ning committee reported In favor of
the so-called Kaisinl site, beyond old
DelhL Although the Intervening years
of war and reconstruction have dou
bled the expense of the original proj
ect, which will cost at least $45,000,-
000 and many more millions in years
to come, the work has never once been
suspended since It was started.
The principal architect of the new
Delhi is Sir £dwln Lutyens. Associ
ated with Sir Edwin Is Herbert Baker
and a score of less famous architects.
The government house, the central
building of the whole scheme, will con
tain, among other official quarters, the
state residence of the viceroy. It Is
now promised that this building will
be reedy for occupancy late In 1928.
Sir Edwin Lutyens and bis associ
ates are engaged In a work not unlike
that which Major L'Enfant achieved In
laying out the city of Washington.
Each was given the task of preparing
plans for a city to be built from the
very beginning. In the scheme for the
Indian capital, the government house
will occupy a pivotal position In the
municipality not unlike that which the
capltol holds In Washington.
The parliament buildings at Delhi
will be less ambitious. Present expec
tations are that they will be ready for
occupancy early In 1926.
EnglUh of Future to Mix
Cockney and Scotch
London. —English as elt will be
spoken 600 years from now will not
have much In common with the pres
ent-day abuses of the language, accord
ing to Daniel Jones, professor of pho
netics at the University of Lon
don. In the far-away future genera
tion Scotchmen will talk like English
men. while the general tongue of the
highly cultured people will be “super
cockney, with a little Scotch accenL”
Professor Jones' Idea Is that the lan
guage of today was cockney to Shake
speare, and that the speech of south
ern England now Is getting nearer to
the cockney.
In some places the cockney has al
ready the upper hand, and there Is a
decided trend In others to adopt the
accent In worda which contain the let
ter “a.” The wide difference In the
dialect of the English provinces accel
erates this tendency, the professor
says, as the various dialects weaken
the common language and destroy its
root after a few years.
Within 800 years, Professor Jones
predicts, the Gaelic language will have
nearly disappeared and the native
Irish (Erse) will be heard no more.
Of this group of languages only Welsh
sill remain.
The best example the lecturer
knows of the English of the future Is
to take the word curt and pronounce
It “cnr-r-r-t."
Yank Teachers Dispute
Methods With French
Paris.—The psychology of asking
school children questions Is a point on
which American teachers take issue
with most French Instructors.
“Jean," says the French teacher In
most schools, "stand up 1"
Then the question is asked.
In American schools the process Is
reversed. The question Is put fully,
then some pupil Is asked to answer It.
“The difference Is," said a recent
visitor to Paris lycees, “that In the
French school the whole class knows
Instantly that Jean Is the one to an
swer and the rest have no need to do
any hard thinking.
“In the American school, every one
In the class Is compelled to search his
wits for an answer, because he or she
may be called upon to rise. In that
way the whole class answers the ques
tion, or tries to, although only one re
cites.”
World's Hottest Place
Found in North Africa
London.—Until recently Death
valley, CsU where a tempera
ture pf 184.1 degrees In the
shade was registered at Green
land ranch on July 10, 1913, was
considered the hottest place on
the earth’s surface. According
to the quarterly Journal of the
Royal Meteorological society,
this record hss been broken at
the Italian settlement of Aslzla,
In the semidesert region of
North Africa, about twenty-firs
miles south of Tripoli, where a
properly sheltered thermometer
road to 136.4 degrees.
