BEAUTIFUL STATE PARKS.
Residents of New York, generally, have no idea how vast and valuable are the lands belonging to the State and devoted to the people's use as Public Parks.
No State east of Colorado owns anything comparing with them in beauty; in extent they are worthy to be named with the new Federal Reservations in the West, spoken of so highly.
Beginning in the south, and lying west of the shores of this County, the State owns a half interest in the Palisade Park, whose floral, bird and animal life so near a great city are remark- able. Here, where the stars show clear long before sunset, and

where springs and streams flow unseen by river passengers sailing on the majestic Hudson River, "the American Rhine," populous "tent cities" every summer show that the Park is appreciated.
This park, known as the "Palisades Interstate Park," is owned jointly by the State of New York and by the State of New Jersey, and is under control of ten commissioners, five appointed by the Governor of New York and five appointed by the Gov- ernor of New Jersey.
Further north, along the Hudson River, is reached the Catskill State Park, which runs almost to the southern fringe of the Adi- rondack Park. Most of these lands were acquired by purchase.
It is proposed to establish another State Park, which will lie between the Palisade Park and the Catskill Park, converting the 10,000 acres of land at Arden, situated in Rockland and Orange Counties, presented to the State, for park purposes, by Mrs. Edward H. Harriman, widow of the noted railroad mil- lionaire. Mrs. Harriman accompanied the land with a gift of $1,000,000 with which to purchase additional property lying between the original grant and the river. In her letter to Gov- ernor Hughes, dated December 15, 1909, informing him of her proposed gift, Mrs. Harriman states that she makes these gifts in conformity to the wishes of her late husband, and suggested that the Palisade Park Commission have jurisdiction over the new park.
At the commencement of the year 1910, the president of the Palisade Park Commission announced that subscriptions of $1,625,000 had been subscribed by sixteen wealthy men of New York city and vicinity to assist in the extension of Palisade Park from its present limits at Piermont northward as far as Newburgh, so that the magnificent scenery of the Hudson River might be preserved.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
HOW COLUMBUS WAS PAID.
"Columbus," said a Chicago antiquary, "got a salary of $320 a year-less than $1 a day. His Captains got $180 a year each. His crew got $2.25 a month.
"To equip the expedition that discovered America cost $2,800. The total cost of discovering America was $7,200.""
Clarkson Nott Potter, of New Rochelle, when a Representa- tive in Congress from the Westchester County district, in 1871, was the first to suggest that the official terms of the President and the Vice-President of the United States be limited to six years. He succeeded in getting the Judiciary Committee of the House to report a proposed Constitutional amendment fixing such limit, but said report failed to get favorable action.
THE BRONX RIVER.
This river, which appeared on the map of early days, and incited an official in England to inquire why the British fleet did not sail up the Bronx River and attack White Plains during the Battle of White Plains, is a narrow stream measuring any- where from twelve to twenty feet wide, and shallow in most places.
The river rises to the east of Chappaqua; Wampus Lake being its practical source.
It runs through the towns of New Castle, North Castle, White Plains, Scarsdale, Eastchester, Mount Vernon, Wakefield, Wil- liamsbridge, West Farms, in the Borough of the Bronx, and empties into Long Island Sound. At its southern end the river is widest and deepest, permitting ladened vessels to pass a dis- tance up the stream.
Washington Irving was given the undisputed title of "Father of American Literature."
