Ills brother, John Daub- ney, living nt Taylors Falls, Minn., Is r ' Ocean Front Upon Round Porcupine, Lafayette National Park. .(Prepared by tho National Geographic society, ..nsmnKton, u. u.) Lafayette Natlonul park, on Mount Desert Island In Maine, Is one of the intcst narks to bo created by the fed- !rnl government, and Is the only na- tlonal pnrk in tho East. But If young n its status as a park, It is physically 0ne of the oldest narts of America. Its granite mountains were standing out against tho Ice and frost, the rains and waves, millions of years before the Rockies and the other ranges of tho West had risen above the prehis- torlc seas that covered that part of the continent. It is the peak of the Atlantic coast-line of the United States the one spot on the eastern coast south of tho St. Lawrenco where what may truly bo called mountains meet the sea. it is appropriate that the national park on Mount Desert Island should be named for a great Frenchman, for the French played an Important part In tho earliest history of the island It was the first land to be approached and named "Islo des Monts Deserts" In the earliest recorded voyage of exploration made along the coust of Mnlno to the oast of Kennebec. Cham- plain sailed down this unitnown coast In September, 1004, passing Isle and headland until ho saw rlBing boldly nhead the range of the Mount Desert IiIUh with their bare rock peaks and deep, Ice-gouged, dividing vulleys. Fecl- that no had come upon sometning worthy of closer examination, ho an chored In what has slnco been called r-renciimnirs bay, n line nouy or water that lies between the island and tho s"ore 10 tlie enst- y mnKing menus Wlnl 1110 inuinns, unnmpinm iniu uic rounaauons mo louowing aiy ior uio French colony which was later to oc- GUv u,e ls,nno The fnme of the beautiful Isle des Monts Deserts was currletl back to France, but It was not until 1013 that an opportunity was found to settle there the proposed colony. The little ship which brought to Mount Desert its load of colonists with their seed gruln, food supplies, Implements nnd live-stock, has been called "the French Mayllower." The voyngers landed on the east coast, not far, perhaps, from the site of Bnr Harbor. Later they moved to the shores of a cove on the south side of the Island. Unfortunately, "the French May flower" was not destined to be respon slblo for a permanent settlement as was Its British counterpart. After the colony had lived only a few years, a British fleet came nnd wrecked It. Permanent settlement was first begun from the American colonies In 1701 Entire Island Not In Park. Mount Desert Island lies off tho Maine const In about the latitude ot Minneapolis and St. Paul, nnd Is some HOO miles northeast of Now York. It has many Indentations, but may be roughly described ns lfi miles long nnd 12 miles wide. It is connected w,t the mainland w a nriuge mills- ,n alaiul In tho narrows. Lafayette park does not embrace the entire island. Tho town of Bur Hurhor, an Important summer resort, Is Hltuated on the eastern shore of the Island, and numerous privately owned estates nnd resort villages nestle in coves along tho coust. Tho park does contain, though, the greater pnrt of Mount Desort's outstanding fenture, the range ot granite mountains. In Places rising above l.uuu teet, which sireicn across mo isiami. excellent ocean-sldo drives are all nbout this rugged peak; and over Its hills and along its sheer cliffs and smooth domes have been constructed paths and iron ladders in order that the climber may roach Its vantage points ntl cnJ0' 1,3 v,cws of t,l m,IBetl mountain nnd sea scenery, a comblna. tlon seldom found In the enst. On the south shore Is the only true Atlantic fiord on United States territory, Somes sound. Among the hills are a number of narrow sparkling lakes, fill- Ing basins scooped out of the rock by the powerful grinding force of gla- ciers nges ago.

So numerous are the In- dentations that the tide washes fully 2.C0O miles of shore from Casco Bay north to Canada. All along the coast are to be found extensive flats and salt marshes, Hooded twice a day by tides. At Mount Desert these tides wdu i ikcl ur iiiuiu; mm vnai icuvuh ueposilOU on me liats or mo lSlunu much floating marine life, and con- tributes to the growth or tlxed vege- tnble and animal forms.

This matter of bird protection at Mount Desert Is made easier by the fact that perhaps no .other area In the northeast In the line of Importnnt mi K4"""" 1 . , . . , great variety of : fruiting ; plants for grations is better fitted to grow a bird food. On the exposed portions of the Islands, both headlands and bogs, are found numerous species of plants typical of tiie regions of the north, Including the Arctic.

Just ns Lafayette Nttlonnl park dif fers from tho western parks In sur roundings nnd typo of scenery, so it differs in origin. When the era of national pnrk creation came, the fed eral government owned vast stretches of mountain and pluln and vnlley In the. West, nnd wns able to select that useful to retail meat dealers, the de which wns most picturesque and mere- partment of agrlctilture announces, lv deslcnnto It ns nubile playgrounds. This, It Is said, Is expected to improve But nil public lands In the East had long since passed Into prlvnto hands, nnd for several decades there wero no eastern parks. Tho uplaue beauty of Mount Desert Island led persons famil iar with It to feel that It would bo the Ideal eastern park. An association of private Individuals was formed and tract after tract of tho rugged hills of the Island wero purchased. Theso were tendered to the national government In 1010, and In 1010 congress passed nn net accepting the land and creating tho pnrk. It Is contemplated that other tracts will bo ndded from time to time until eventually n largo part, of tho raountninnus Island will be a federal reservation. Hasty Words.
