In these piping times of peace, of course, Sergeant Eros duties are a little less onerous, though at that he naturally holds a long list of the special ratings peculiar to his highly technical branch of the service. He is, for instance, the post sergeant major of Fort Mansfield and its electrician sergeant, ordnance and quartermaster and commissary sergeant, signal sergeant, mine sergeant and chief mine planter. When he isnt tinkering round with one oK another of these Jobs or inspecting Harry Dell, or drilling Harry in company formation, or making the rounds of Harry when Harry is standing sentries, Sergeant Eros relaxes in the bosom of his family. For he is a married man, with his wife and little boy installed in one of the residences on officers row which suits their fancy. And he gets a fair amount of relaxation, , for Fort Mansfield, a quarter of a century ago an te cent survey has been carried out by engineers who suggested the reservation would make an ideal aviation station. It consists of a crescent-shapepeninsula, some three miles long and a few hundred feet wide, which juts out into the sea as a continuation of the Watch Hill bathing beach. Before the fort was built the long sandy strip was known as Napatree Point. Skirted on the south by Fishers Island sound and on the north by Little Narragansett bay, the peninsula forms a natural breakwater. Its really beautiful harbor would form a safe haven for flying boats, with full protection from the tempestuous seas that sometimes roll in from the Atlantic there. And the land strip is wide enough and smooth enough to accommodate planes with wheeled landing gear. Like Deserted Village. In its present condition Fort Mansfield makes one think of Goldsmiths deserted village. But the government engineers had an enormous job on their hands when they converted the extensive stretch of sand dunes into what was at that time a modern fortification.. Work on it began about 1893 and a garrison first occupied the place in 1901. When it was abandoned in 1911 three batteries of stone and cement had been built and armed, the guns. The largest with two eight-inclast company to occupy the post was the Eighty-firs- t artillery, with a strength of 101 men and 20 officers. On the land approach to Fort Mansfield there is still a sign, somewhat weatherbeaten, warning visitors not to enter the reservation without obtaining a pass or permit. The impression thus given that the fort is still doing martial business at the old stand is quickly dissipated by a tour of the grounds. The masonry of the emplacements is beginning to crumble. Tle big guns have all been dismantled and shipped to other stations, and the water hydrants are smothered in grass and brambles or half buried by the march of shifting sand. A heavy breakwater of planks and spiles has protected the ocean frontage fairly well, hot some of the big seas have washed over it and undermined the buildings. The granolithic walk has also come in for its share of damage, having been so thoroughly undermined that it suggests a recent earthquake. No Use Longer as Fort. The fort was abandoned because there is no real need of big guns there monsters The today. mounted at Fort Wright, Fishers island and at Forts Michie and Terry, on Gull and Plum islands, fully command the eastern and southern approaches from the Atlantic. A few months ago the reservation was offered for sale for ?90,000. Citizens of AVesterly, R. I., were interested, and fof a time it was thought the peninsula would be converted into a recreation park or a cluster of summer homes. But nothing definite was done, and recently it was announced the government will retain its whole holding of 96 acres. Sergeant Eros was glad to hear that. Even with the terrific load of mixed and duties under responsibilities which he staggers, he has become attached to the fort, and would hate to leave it. Private Harry Dell reserves his opinion for home use.

An authentic copy of the fourth patent issued by the United States government, the only facsimile of a patent granted in the early days of the American republic, has just been found by Commissioner of Patents Thomas E. Robertson. It was issued in 1791 and is in a good state of preservation. There are no copies of the first, second or third patents issued by the government. When this document was issued there was no patent office. All inventions were approved by the President, countersigned by the secretary of state and the attorney general and delivered to the applicant personally, by the secretary of state. The fourth patent, therefore, bears the signatures of George Washington, President; Thom . as Jefferson, secretary of state, and Edmund Randolph, attorney general. Francis Bailey of Philadelphia applied for and received this patent on January 31, 1791. 'It was on a new method of punches and matrices for making printing types. The patent reads as follows: To all to whom these presents shall come. Greetings : Whereas, Francis Bailey of the city of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, printer, hath Invented certain methods, not before known or used, for forming punches, by which to impress on the matrices for printing type, whether such types be for setters or devices, as well as to impress on any metal or other substance capable of receiving and retaining Impressions various marks which are difficult to be counterfeited, and the said invention appears to be useful and important: these are, therefore, in pursu water one-hal- RemovesDanaruff-8topsHairFailln- : ; li-'e- d g |
