The first cowcatcher was designed

England. It was attached to the
John Bull, which operated on the
Camden & Amboy railroad after
1831, The cowcatcher was support

j Early Indian Battlefield
Opened for Sight-Seers.
The scene of one of the bloodiest
battles in the history of New Eng
land's early Indian wars, the Great
Swamp fight of 1675, in Rhode Is
land, has been opened for sightseers
by CCC workers. The Great Swamf*-
fight was unusual because the Colo
nists attacked the Indians instead
of vice versa, says the Nationaß
Geographic society. Several hun
dred casualties made this one ot
the bloodiest battles of Colonial New
England, as a thousand men from
four colonics stalked the Indians to
their winter camp, attacked the*
hideaway in the swamp, set fire to
600 wigwams and scattered the In
dians into the wilderness.
Some 60 deaths and 150 wounded
among the attackers meant serious
losses to the fighting forces of the
sparsely inhabited colonies. The
losses of the Indians included some
300 wounded or old men and women
and children whom they could ruol
rescue from the fire.
This battle marked December It#,.
1675, as the date of a major en
gagement in King Philip’s war, »
widespread uprising, in which thte
painted braves with bow and arrow
and club learned the uselessness of
resisting white men and their guns..
The battle was part of the Colonists*'
campaign started against a hitherto
neutral tribe, the Narragansetts, lie
cause they would not give up
gee women and children of the Warn
panoag tribe, whose braves were on
the warpath farther north.
The scene of the Great Swamp
fight is now a peaceful “island’* ccf
solid ground, grass covered in sea
son, within the treacherous swamp'
near Kingston, on the mainland:sot
15 miles from Newport. No- rem
nant of the Narragansetts’ kerge
winter camp survives. A granite
shaft commemorates the vrSwlr
man’s victory, and flanking maiuk
ers name the colonies which united
for the attack—Plymouth, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island.
World’s Nitrate Supply
Is Obtained From Chile
Chile has a population of 4,600,900,
or approximately that of Massachu
setts, on an area more than 34 times
that of Massachusetts. It supplies
all the world’s natural nitrate,
well as 90 per cent of the iodine,
almost half the borax and IS per
cent of the world’s copper.
It borders the southern Pacific
coast of South America running al
most north and south for 2,627 miles,
and varies in width from 105 to 223
miles. Inland it is bounded by the
lofty crest of the Andes, the back
ground of all Chilean panoramas and
possessed of vast waterpower. ;
If Chile occupied the same latitude \
in the northern hemisphere it wtoM
extend from the latitude of Jamaica
through Cuba, Florida, the rest of
the United Slates and Canada to
the southern shores of Hudson bayj
says the National Geographic s.oci-1
ety. With the varied climate Sh'usa
afforded, Chile has widely diveisdf
fled scenery and economic interests,!
Frequent dust storms, mirages;
and often frost at night feature line
hot, arid section of northern Chile,
which for many years has furnished,
most of the country’s revenue.
The nitrate fields stretch for sev
eral hundreds of miles along the-*
western rim of the upland plainest
the deposits being not more tbimn
20 to 30 feet below the surface.
Chile’s mineral exports account few
more than 75 per cent of the
the United States taking one-fourth.,
including practically all the iron*
ore.
Napoleon’s Sword
Bearing the inscription, “N. Boru*-
parte, First Consul of the French
Republic,” a sword has been itddtad.
to an exhibition in Moscow dedicat
ed to the victory of the Russian peo
ple over Napoleon in 1812, Wfa«&
Napoleon was defeated and sent It*
Elba by the coalition Alexander 1,,
of Russia, ordered Count Shuvakn,
to accompany him. To assist Napo
leon to escape recognition by the
crowds, Shuvalov offered him toss
greatcoat. In gratitude, the- de
throned emperor gave his sword tn
Shuvalov, who took it to Russia. In
the revolution of 1917 the Red Guardi,
raided a family estate and a com
mander appropriated a sword. He
fought with it, often marveling at
its strength and sharpness. After
the war it was identified as
Icon’s sword.
Artist’s Gratitude
Mrs. Mary Brittain, California ar
tist, had a different way of express
ing gratitude to the state for rcSi-ei
| assistance, Mrs. Brittain donated Et
! large oil painting to the state to be

I had no means of support,” her le'xr
