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."?

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

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.
