BOUNDARY MARKS.

The Exact Line Which Separates Our
Country from British North America.
Formerly great difficulties were ex-
perienced in locating the exact line
which separates our country from that
belonging to the kingdom of Her Mai
esty, Victoria l.; now all that has been
overcome. According to the treaty of
Ghent the British were allowed all the
land lying north of point 4,7OO feet
south of the forty-ninth parallel, thence
running west to the Pacific ocean. In
April, 1870, surveyors at work establish
ing an Indian reservation discovered
the fact that great error had been
made in the calculations of the commits
sioners who had esta blished the line
4. 700 feet south of the forty-ninth
parallel, which, if followed west as laid
out, would take in the British fort at
Pembina. The surveyors communicate
ed this startling fact to the general
government, and the Secretary of State
informed the British Minister, where
upon a new boundary commission"
was formed forthwith. Few of the As.
600, 600 of people in the United States
at that time knew that our country was
without a northern boundary for two
years following April, 1870, but such
was the case. During the summer of
the year last named Congress, by Joint
resolution, appropriated $1OO, 600 for
carrying on the work of establishing the
true boundary.
BY the end of 1872 the boundary COM
mission had done its work; stone cairns,
earth mounds and wooden and iron pill
lars had been set up at intervals of
from one to eight miles apart from the
Lake of the Woods to the Pacific Ocean.
There are exactly 3S2 of these land
marks between the Lake of the Woods
and the base of the Rocky mountains.
The Red River Valley is marked only
with iron posts, which are set at the
exact distance of one mile apart. All
the iron-pillars used in the consumma.
ton of this great work were cast at
Detroit Mich. They are feet
high, 8 inches across at the base
and inches across at the top, cast hol-
low. They were made hollow so that
tney coulo Dc SET permanently by drlv-
ing cedar posts through the hollows.
Each post is inscribed with this legend:
CONVENTION OF LONDON. OCTOBER 20,
1878"
When stone cairns we're used they
were made feet high, Z feet square at
the bottom, tapering to 81 feet at the
top. The mounds of earth used as
marks were made IA feet square and Z
feet high. How many of the mounds
cairns were built between the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific ocean, oniy
the commissioners know; suffice to saw
that as long as stone. earth and iron
will last the question of our northern
boundary Is settled.-St Louis Re-

NICKEL-PLATED CORPSES.
New Method of Preserving the Dead That
Milli0naires May Ad0nt.

New Method of Preserving the Dead That
MilliOnaires May Adopt.
While an increasing number of per-
sons favor the disposition of the dead
by cremation, a startling theory quite
different in character has been evolved
recently. 1t is actually suggested by
some people that human bodies be pre-
served by the galvano-electro plating
process. Instead of embalming 1T, tho
body is to be covered with coating of
gold or silver or nickel.
The idea is not exactly new. There
is legend that once upon time, many
car on the occasion of state reception,
desired to present an appearance Of
great splendor. Accordingly, after an
nointing his body with palm oil, he
covered himself with gold dust. He
looked gorgeous, and in the opinion Of
his subjects every inch king but what
he designed as a splendid decora ton
proved covering of death, for the pow
der so closed the pores of the royal skin
years afterward the body was disinterred
: for the purpose of removal to splendid
sarcOphagus, it was found perfectly pre-
served and presented the appearance Of
golden statue, perfect in every Inca
ment.
A silver platter of New York recently
experimental upon the body of an
infant. He declared that the result
was beautiful silver statue far
thor
produced by any sculptor's art.
He says he will make further
experiments and announce their results.
Electricians have tried for years to s.
cover an improved plating process, and
have met with much success. There is
no object that can not now be plated.
Even glass and rubber may be covered
with coating of entirely foreign ma
terial. The possibilities felectro-plating
appear to be infinite. At the establish
ment of the Brands Plating Company
some wonderful specimens of the art
may be seen. Among them are babies
shoes and slippers plated with silver
and nickel, after being first coated with
plumbago.
A gentleman of Madison avenue. re-
Gently married had his brides wedding
slippers silver-plated. They now form
the most cherished ornament of HIS
house, and one of them hangs in his
room as match safe. Natural flowers
are treated so that they can be used for
parasol and umbrella handles. and vet
retain their natural grace of form. An
egg thus plated will remain fresh for an
indefinite period, but the process. is
hardly available for commercial pur-
poses.
1t is suggested that in the far distant
future wealthy families may present to
the eyes of their friends mausoleums of
gilded ancestors, much as they now
maintain art galleries filled with stat
uary.
A service to which it is already put is

-Some>dea Of the great cost in time
snd money required in producing
great engraving or etching and the risks
assumed by the publishers may be had
when it is known that the engraving of
Meissoneirs 'Friedland, 1907" in size
1888 inches, was begun by the etcher,
Jacquet, in August, 1883. and it is not
yet ready for publication. Two years
time, of an expert, the risk of destruc-
ton by fire and of the death of the artist
engraver during the prosecution of the
work and then the additional risk at
tending every publication whether it
will afford profit or not When con-
sidering the price charged for some en-
cravings all the way from $3.50, OF moro
down, these facts may be borne in mind.

One of Staniey's Terrible Experiences In
the African Wilderness.
After informing the unfortunate Grip
pies of our intention to proceed forward
until we could find food, that we might
not all be lost, and send relief as
quickly as it might be obtained, I con-
signed the fifty-two men, eighty-one
loads, and ten canoes in charge of Cap
tain Nelson, babe him be of good cheer
and hosting our loads and boat ON our
shoulders. we marched away.
No more gloomy spot could have been
selected for camp than that sandy
terrace, encompassed by rocks and
hemmed in narrowly by those dark
woods, which rose from the rivers edge
to the height of six hundred feet, and
pent in the never ceasing uproar which
was created by the writhing and tor
tured stream, and the twin cataracts
which ever rivaled each others thun-
der. The Imagination shudders at the
hapless position of those crippled men,
who were doomed to remain inactive, to
listen every moment to the awful
sound of that irreconcilable fury of
wrathful waters, and the monotonous
and continuous roar of plunging rivers;
to watch the leaping waves coiling and
twisting into uprising columns as they
ever wrestle for mystery with each
other, and were dashed in white frag-
ments of foam tar apart by the cease
less force of driven currents; to gaze at
the dark, relentless woods spreading
upward and around, standing perpetu-
ally fixed in dull green mo urning over
past ages. past times, and past
genera lions; then think OF the
night with its palpable blackness;
the dead, black shadows of the
wooded hills; that eternal sound
of fury, that ceaseless boom
of the cataracts, the indefinite form
born of nervousness and fearlessne2 !,
that misery engendered by loneline s.
and creeping sense of abandonment;
then will be understood some thing of
the true position in these poor men.
