In 1875 this station was temporarily occupied by the State ; over the copper bolt stood a signal pole, supported by a tripod.
In 1885 and also in 1886 this station was occupied by the U. S. Geological survey, in connection with the State Topo- graphical survey.
THE METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORY ON BLUE HILL.
Great Blue Hill, being the highest land on the Atlantic coast south of Maine, and dominating the other Blue Hills by more than a hundred feet is, on account of its free exposure, an admirable site for a meteorological station. The project of es- tablishing such a station was conceived by A. Lawrence Rotch of Milton, in the summer of 1884. He purchased land on the top of the hill and repaired the old path commencing at the Great Oak on Canton avenue, so that materials could be brought up for the construction of a building, consisting of a two-story tower and an adjoining dwelling-house, both built of the stone found on the summit. This Observatory was first occupied February 1, 1885, and from that time to the present (August, 1887) meteorological observations have been regularly made and sent monthly to the New England Meteorological Society and to the United States Signal Service. Some of the objects of these observations were stated by Mr. Rotch in a paper read before the New England Meteorological Society in
78
HISTORY OF MILTON.
October, 1884, to be "the investigation of the rainfall at this elevation, the velocity and direction of the wind, the maximum and minimum temperatures, the paths of thunder and other local storms and such other phenomena as may present them- selves." This and other experimental work has been done; but what most interests the public are the daily weather predic- tions which are signalled by flags displayed on the Observatory to the surrounding country. The verification of these local predictions, of late, has been more than ten per cent. greater than that of the indications of the Government Signal Service. The Observatory is well equipped with automatic registering instruments, and, with one exception, is probably the most com- plete in the United States. It is entirely controlled by Mr. Rotch, whose first observer was Mr. Willard P. Gerrish. The present observer is Mr. H. Helm Clayton, who with the stew- ard, Frank Brown, live at the Observatory.
THE INDIAN.
The country covered by the Blue Hills remains in almost its primitive wildness. Little has been done since the advent of the European, save to cut the wood from these hills, and then wait for another growth.
Could the red man revisit the place of his former residence, amid almost universal change, he would find this little spot of his ancient domain unaltered by the hand of man - the same wild mountain haunt of his primeval life.
The home of the Indian we have usurped; he has disap- peared, and not a trace of his race is seen amongst us, nor a single memorial of his life. Let these hills stand in all the wildness of nature, unchanged by art or man's device, a perpet- ual memorial of the Indian race !
The last chief of the Neponset tribe of any special merit was CHICKATAUBUT. He was here in 1630, and, though he lived but a few years after our fathers came, he showed himself friendly and helpful amid their early trials.
The highest summit of the range was called Great Blue Hill in an act of the Legislature establishing beacons on its top in 1776. It has always borne that name, and cannot be changed. The summit next in height, situated in the rear of the residence of the late Lewis Tucker, Randolph avenue, rises to an altitude of 518 feet. This is sometimes called Swan's Hill and Fenno's Hill, but really has no fixed name. How fitting that this hill henceforth bear the name of CHICKATAUBUT HILL' - a late, but

just tribute to the memory of that illustrious chief, and his departed race !
At the extreme south-westerly point of Great Blue Hill, where the range boldly rises from the surrounding level, and the face of the hill is bald and precipitous, is a shelving rock, about forty feet above the highway, just as it turns from Can- ton avenue around the hill. A distinguished visitor in Milton has suggested the beautiful idea of erecting on this shelving rock, in full sight of every passer by, and looking towards the setting sun, the bronze statue of an Indian.
FORESTRY LANDS.
It has long been a matter of interest with a few citizens of Milton to devise some plan by which this extensive area of wild land may be preserved forever, as a grand sanitarium, not only for the towns within whose bounds it lies, but also for the great city so near at hand.
This tract of mountain and forest land is five miles in length and a mile or more in width. Within its limits are but few dwellings, except in the granite section, as it is generally unfit for cultivation. It lies within three miles of the borders of Bos- ton, and can be reached by the West Quincy branch of the Old Colony railroad, as well as by the New York and New England, and the Old Colony at Mattapan; and the New York and New England, and the Providence railroads at Readville ; while a line extending from West Quincy to Mattapan would circle the entire area.
The Legislature of 1882 enacted a law, entitled " An act au- thorizing Towns and Cities to provide for the preservation and reproduction of forests," particularly designed to effect the pres- ervation of the Middlesex Fells. This authorizes cities and towns to purchase lands to be preserved as forests. The title of such lands vests in the Commonwealth. The State Board of Agriculture is made a Board of Forestry, with power to pro- tect and improve said lands, limiting expenditure to the income from rents and sales of products.
The noble efforts to save the Middlesex Fells, north of Bos- ton, meets with universal favor; the Blue Hill lands, south of Boston, should be included in that effort. They are more ex- tensive, less adapted to agricultural purposes, better suited to forestry, nearer the great city, and far more wild, picturesque and beautiful than the Middlesex Fells.
Should the towns within whose borders the land is situated unite in its purchase under the act referred to, and the Common-
80
HISTORY OF MILTON.
wealth protect it from forest fires, encourage the natural growth of wood. and keep it as a sylvan retreat for denizens of town and city, a great public benefit would be secured, and the legacy to posterity would be better than gold.
Such an expanse of woodland, in its full summer strength and glory, would prove a regulator and balance in meteorolog- ical phenomena through a wide district. It would tend to give uniformity to the temperature, to the rainfall, and the winds ; and, by neutralizing malarial influence, would conduce to general health and happiness.
AN UNWELCOME INTRUDER.
" Qui legitis flores, et humi nascentia fragra, Frigidus ô pueri ! fugite hinc, latet anguis in herbâ."
It might be deemed an unpardonable omission in this descrip- tion of the Blue Hills, did we not sound the note of alarm found in these lines of Virgil -"O boys, who gather flowers, and fragrant strawberries, flee hence, the cold snake lurks in the grass !" It is an established fact, however, that while the hills may be the habitat of this venomous reptile in the cold season, it migrates to the lower lands in early spring. It is found at the base of the hills in stone walls, and about cultivated grounds. In these localities some are killed every year. But the boys range over the hills for berries with safety. Men, who have frequented the hills year after year, bear testimony that they have never seen a rattlesnake on Great Blue Hill. Mr. Charles Breck-our veteran surveyor, who for seventy years has ranged over these hills largely in the line of his busi- ness ; who has examined them more minutely, and knows them better than any living man-says in a recent communication to the Quincy Patriot, "In all my tramping over the hills in the summer season, I never saw but one, and that a very small one." Their range is narrow, confined mostly to Scott's woods and to the region south of Canton avenue ; over this avenue, it is said, they never cross. Such, however, are the habits of the reptile that there is little danger of an attack from it, even if met with. Citizens of over fourscore years can recall but two instances where persons have been bitten, neither of which was fatal. One was an imbecile, who otherwise might have escaped, and who otherwise might have died from the bite. While, there- fore, this venomous reptile is not a pleasant object to meet in one's pathway, it presents no great terrors to the old residents of Milton.

THE BLUE HILLS.
THE OUTLOOK.
From the summit of Great Blue Hill scenes of marvellous beauty are revealed. On every side there opens to view a charming variety of woods and fields, villages and distant mountains. The brief description here given, includes only those objects and points seen by the writer, with the unassisted eye, on the morning of Sept. 12, 1884. Showers of the pre- vious evening had washed the atmosphere, leaving it clear and transparent; and every condition was favorable to a per- fect view.
Facing northerly we see Cambridge, Somerville, and Malden ; and, far beyond, the hills of Andover and Georgetown. Turn- ing a little easterly Boston spreads out before the eye, with its steeples and turrets, the gilded dome gleaming above the rest, ten and a half miles distant. Bearing still easterly we have Boston Harbor with its islands, headlands and fortifications ; over which we see various points on the North Shore, as far as Eastern-Point light-house in Gloucester. Forty miles north- east appear the twin light-houses on Thacher's Island, seeming to stand in the ocean. Far to the right, N. 55° 05' E., fourteen miles distant, stands Boston Light, like a sentinel at the en- trance of the harbor; while beyond it stretches out Massachu- setts Bay, vast tracts of which are visible. Turning nearly east we see Swan's or Chickataubut Hill, three miles off, the second in height of the Blue Hills; over its left slope lies Nantasket Beach, and over its right is seen the top of Minot's Light-house. Facing nearly south-east we see the long ridge of Manomet Hill in Plymouth, thirty-three miles distant; and at its left, twenty-six miles off, looms up against the sky the Standish Monument, on Captain's Hill in Duxbury.
In this direction stretch out immense tracts of waving forests, revealing here and there villages, churches, cultivated grounds, and silvery lakes set in borders of green, Hoosic- Whisick or Houghton's pond just at the base; then, following in order Ponkapog, Canton reservoir, and Massapoag in Sharon, the latter eight miles south south-west. Directly south, and forty miles away, is seen the city of Fall River. South-westerly are Woonsocket and other hills in Rhode Island. Towards the west and north-west appear the mountains of Worcester County, Wachusett, in Princeton, being the most conspicuous. Far to the right of Wachusett, and nearly over the dome of Dedham Court-house, lies Watatick in Ashburn- ham, resembling a hay-stack. North-westerly at least a dozen of the peaks of southern New Hampshire are in sight.
82
HISTORY OF MILTON.
Just at the right of Watatick, and far beyond it, is the Grand Monadnock in Jeffrey, 3,170 feet above the sea, and sixty- seven and a half miles from the point of observation.
On the right of Grand Monadnock is a group of nearer sum- mits, - Mt. Kidder exactly north-west, Spofford and Temple Mountains. Then appears the remarkable Pack-Monadock near Peterboro', with its two equal summits. It lies over the left section of Sprague's pond. The next group to the right is in Lyndeboro'; the right hand summit is Lyndeboro' Pinnacle, over the left slope of which is Crotchett Mountain, sixty-six miles distant. At the right of Lyndeboro', and nearly over the Readville depots, is Joe English Hill, in New Boston, and to complete the round, nearly north north-west are the summits of the Unkonunock Mountains, fifty-nine miles away.
And now, removing the eye from these distant objects, there is much to attract attention near at hand. City and village railroad and factory, with every sign of busy life, intervene. On every side, and crowning almost every hill-top, appear the solid, comfortable homesteads of past generations, as well as more modern and artistic structures. While at the base, spread out before the eye like a fancy picture, lies the valley of the Neponset, the river meandering in many curves through the green meadows, and combining, with the whole wide view, to form a panorama hardly excelled in life, beauty and variety on any summit in our country.
It is a spot, above others, full of inspirations ; where the mind and soul may gain new and deeper revelations of the Infinite Creator.
" These are thy glorious works, Parent of Good ! Almighty ! thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair ; thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable, who sitt'st above these heavens To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lower works ; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine."

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE.
From the Borden State survey, and the earlier operations of the Coast survey, we know the positions of several points as compared with the State House Cupola, which was taken as an initial point for latitude and longitude.
The spire of the Unitarian church of Milton has during fifty years been a trigonometrical point in the various State and National surveys, which have stated its position variously, depending mostly on their temporarily assumed position of the State House. The recently adjusted positions are as follows : -

MAPS.
We have derived no little help from various maps and ancient plats that have been discovered, delineating the territory of Milton as it existed in early times.
At the State-House there is a plat of the " Blue Hill Lands," a portion of which was annexed to Milton. On this plat is the following inscription : -
" The original of this Plat was finished the first Monday in September, 1651, and this was transcribed out of it the 29th of March, 1656. - By me Joshua Fisher."
In the possession of Mr. Edmund J. Baker is the eastern half of an old plan of the division of Milton lands before the estab- lishment of the town; by constant wear the parchment upon which the plan was drawn was broken at the folding ; the other half, describing the westerly section of the town, was lent at the time the town of Hyde Park was incorporated, and has not been recovered.
On this plan appears the following memorandum : -
" This plan was drawn on a paper plat formerly made by Mr. John Oliver for the Town of Dorchester, and now by their order is drawn on parchment by Joshua Fisher, April 25, 1661."
John Oliver died April, 1646.
The above plan is reproduced for this volume. The restora- tion of the westerly part, or Sixth Division, is attempted from the list of owners found in the records of the " Proprietors of Dorchester."
In the year 1795 a map of Milton was made, at the requisition of the State, by Mather Withington. A copy of this may be seen at the State-House.
In 1831 each town in the Commonwealth was required to furnish a map to be incorporated in the State Map. The map of Milton was made by Mr. Edmund J. Baker. This map of Mr. Baker, though somewhat rare, is still found in many families. It is an exact delineation of the town as it was half a

century ago, and has always been relied on for fulness and accuracy.
In 1849 Henry M. Fosdick issued a map of Quincy and Mil- ton ; the Milton section is a reproduction of Mr. Baker's map.
In 1876 the Atlas of Norfolk County was issued, in which the town of Milton appears carefully mapped out from measure- ments and surveys made at that time.
Other maps have appeared at various times including Milton.
NEW MAPS OF 1886.
In making ready for the Town History it was at first pro- posed to engraft on Mr. Baker's map additions from more recent ones, but the necessity of careful explorations in all parts of the town, to reconcile discrepancies noticed in the maps already issued, led to the making of a new map; the results indicating the accuracy of Mr. Baker's work.
From the latitude and longitude already given it is ascer- tained that the steeple of the Unitarian Church (which was one of Borden's land marks) is N. 31° 28' E. from the Blue Hill Observatory, and distant therefrom 17,650 feet, about three and one-half miles. From this base line a few prominent points were carefully located, and the details filled in with pocket ap- paratus constructed for this purpose. The map was brought up to Jan. 1, 1886. Houses erected since that date fail to appear.
The modern and historic maps being then traced from this common original the precise location of any point on either can be found on the other by measuring from the nearest points common to both.
The obvious advantage of having maps to fold but one way led to the adoption of a small scale and the consequent com- pression of much of material into a small compass.
We are greatly indebted to Mr. E. G. Chamberlain, of Au- burndale, by whose unwearied pains and care the maps have been made. All roads, cart-paths, drift-ways and cattle-beats have been traced out with compass in hand. The streams and rivulets have been followed to their sources. The altitudes have been taken with care, and whatever would contribute to fulness and accuracy has received attention.
