MMtOML BOUWMfffES. If Lack of Gaographisal Knowledge Has Cost the World Millions. Laek of geographical knowledge has cost tbe nations of the world millions of dollars in treaty making, i declared Sir Thomas Holdieb, the British geographical authority, in a lecture before the Royal Geographical society on ''Problems In Bound- j ary Making." "Lack of exact knowledge," he j he said, "is the first rock on which j boundarr treaties split. Where ] maps did net #exist and where it was out of the question to wait for them to be made, the arbitrators hare been forced repeatedly into adopting the worst of expedients, the straight line. "The disadvantages of a straight line have been illustrated in several instances lately, notably in boundary disputes in central and southern: Africa. In one case an awkward international complication arose when it was found that a wide tract of valuable land had been erroneously assigned to England and had to be transferred to Belgium. Then there was the adoption of a definite meridian which crossed the Kalahari desert, the eastern limit of German southwest Africa. This entailed years of scientific labor, i-rvr* n cr?,n nmiol in illd VAlnP nf U ou:ji VV|uu? vv VMV * v I thousands of square miles of useful map making, to find out where the meridian really lay. "Absurd incidents arose over the delimitation of the boundary between the United States and Canada. One of the main difficulties arose as to what was meant in the treaty by a 'main channel/ Between Vancouver and the mainland there is an archipelago, and among them at least three channels that might be called 'main channels/ Chief among these islands was one called San Juan. In 1859 a pig was shot by an American on San Juan, and the American was haled be/ore a British magistrate and threatened with imprisonment This put a climax to the dispute. ^American honor was touched, and troops were landed from both sides. It looked as if the pig incident wquld lead to war, but the position was saved by arbitration. The award gave away the whole archipelago to the United States."? Brooklyn Eagle. Rice In the Orient. Bice is "wet/' that grown for the I most part in flooded land, or "dry," I that raised on uplands. Its growth in those regions where civilization has penetrated least is pathetic. Parts of the east are still covered with virgin forest of tall trees. Underneath all ift dark in heavy shade. Creepers twine up hundreds of feet and are all topped off with indescribable orchids, all hunting for air and sunshine. In the thick wood a suitable spot is chosen, for rice they must have or starve. Undergrowth is cut out and staked and hedged around to make a fence for the little rice f&rm.?Exchange. Repairing a Crown. What curious old records one comes across sometimes in unexpected ways! Here is one which has reference to Edward III. and Philippa of Hainault and is kept, with other documents, at Harwich, their majesties having had at the time a palace at Felixstowe. It runs thus: <rFor repairing ye queen's crown which ye king threw into ye fire, item 3s. 6d." The points which strike one in this memorandum are the violence of the king's temper and the cheapness of the mending j ? _ /^? Li. process.?lxmaon urapuic. Ingenious Spider*. There exists in Australia a spe- i cies of spider that makes its habitation along the seashore, in the crev-1 ices of the rocks, between high and j low water marks. But when the ( tide is in their homes are covered j with water. Instead of deserting ( them, however, the spiders solve: the difficulty by means of closely ! woven sheets of silk, which they ! stretch over the entrances, behind which they manage to retain sufficient air to keep them alive during the time they remain submerged. When He Pleased Himeelf. Out of the ninety odd plays that he has written, most of which have; been produced in this country, Henry Arthur Jones, dean of the Eng- j lish playwrights, is said to have. written but one play to please him- j self. That one was "Michael and! His Lost Angel." He pleased him-J self in writing it, but the public, drove it off the stage.?Argonaut. MacPherson'i Testimony.
