THE CANADIAN LINE FENCE Monument* That Cleave the Two Countries West From the Lake of the Woods—Irregularities in 8tats and County Boundaries. The fate* of empires and of dynas ties have been involved in the struggle for boundaries. The figment that the Rhine was the natural frontier of France ended in the downfall of the Bona partes and the exaltation of the Ilohenzollerns, thus rearing the neo German empire upon the ruins of the upstart French empire. In our own country the cry of “Fif ty-four-forty or fight!" held a threat of the mighty conflict that eventually proved irrepressible. And in our own day the dispute, over the Venezuelan boundary nearly precipitated a war between the two greatest nations of the earth. It was a startling figure of speech, that of the western orator who. mount ing higher and higher to a climax of buncombe, described the United States ns bounded on the eust by the Atlantic ocean, on the north by the aurora bo realis, on the west by the setting sun and on the south by the gates of hell. Still, It was only a figure of speech. Canada lies between us and the boreal aurora. The Latin American states to the south hardly deserve the Infer nal comparison. As to the oceans to the east and the west of us, they may be left to themselves. Not mine the task of determining what the wild waves are saying. The Canadian boundary presents its idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. The eusteru part of it follows naturally and spontaneously the regular water line formed by the great lakes and their outlets. Thence from the Lake of the Woods on the north of Minne sota a more direct course, man made and mechanical, Is taken through the wilderness and over the mountains of the west to the Pacific coast. Nor has this course been suffered to remain a mere imaginary line. Man, having made it, has marked it well. Between the Lake of the Woods and the Red river cast iron pillars have been placed one mile apart alternately by the English and the American govern ments. These are hollow castings in pyramidal form eight feet high, with a base eight Inches square, an octa gon flange one inch thick and a top four Inches square surmounted by a solid cap. Into these hollow posts are fitted well seasoned cedar joists, with spikes driven through holes made in the east ing. The pillars are firmly imbedded In the ground. Inscriptions In raised letters face north and south. The north side reads, “Convention of Lon don;" the other, “October 20, 1818.” Beyond the Red river the boundary line is generally denoted by earth piounds aud stone cairns 7 by 8 feet, though these are occasionally diversi fied by wooden posts of the same height as the Iron pillars and painted red nbove ground. Through forests clearings have been made a rod wide. Where bodies of water are crossed monuments of stone rise several feet above high tide. Over the mountains shafts of granite supersede the pillars, mounds and calms. There are eccentricities In state lines as well as In those which limit the confines of the United States. Thus the line that separates Delaware from Pennsylvania (Newcastle and Chester counties respectively) sudden ly curves npward and forms a semi circle just nbove the ancient town of Newcastle. The explanation mny be found in history. At the time Delaware was set out there were few points of Inti tule and longitude definitely estab llshed In the colonies, so that bound nries were generally expressed not by latitude and longitude, but by refer ence to some known location. In the deed by which Delaware was trans ferred there was ceded all the land for twelve miles round Newcastle, togeth er with certain other areas. In estab llshing the boundaries of the present state of Delaware this description was taken literally, and part of a circle, with the center at Newcastle, was sur veyed upon a twelve mile rudlus. No other state has an arc in its boundary line, but many of the coun ties of Kentucky and Tennessee do. Warren county, Tenn.» is almost a com plete circle. In many Instances coun ties formerly circular have been ex panded Into irregular polygons—Wil liam S. Walsh in New York Tribune. The Diminutive. At tbe age of three Janet was an en thusiastic student of entomology.
