By the end Of the present year we shall prob
ably know much more exactly Than at present
the area Of Uncle Sans territory. and be able
to indicate upon our maps the true boundary
line between It and the domain Of Queen Vic
toria AS reported by a Tribune correspondent
elsewhere in to-day's paper. the Coast and Geo
detic Survey has started upon its third sum
mer's work on the Alaskan frontier, in CO.
operation with the Canadian Land Survey, and
It is confidently expected that the work will be
completed this year. We speak OF Alaska as
our Arctic province, and not altogether map
propriately. since a large part Of IL lies within
the Arctic Zone. Yet, as our correspondent r.
minds us. almost tropical conditions prevail in
the southern part of it. Mosquitoes and other
insect pests are inconccivably numerous, and
vegetation is jungle-like in its rank profusion
The surveyors have to struggle with obstacles
more like those Mr. Stanley found in the Itur
wilderness than those which confront Arctic
adventurers.

They proposed game of poker. We

American Horse Meat.

NcSlSTu DTGCdGT.
The advertised sale this week of
about LOCO head of the horses discarded
by the street railroads on the event of
the trolley calls attention to the changes
in the value of draught horses the
electric motors have made, says a New
York dispatch. All the old and worm
out horses III the vicinity are sent over
to Brooklyn to be disposed of at a market
which is unique in its way. Sales are
held every Monday and Thursday, and
the prices range from 50 to SI0u
a head. The common average rs
from $50 to S25. Last Thursday rig
consisting OF wagon. horse and harness,
all went for IS. The 81 STOLE of animal
is usually bought by man who starteu
several years ago regular slaughter
house just outside the city. He kills
them just as other cattle are disposed
OF his slaughter mouse being appointeu
according to the most modern ideas.
The hides go to the tanner. the hoofs to
the glue factory, the names and taHs
to the hair factories, the bones to tie
sugar refiners, the meat is carved up
by butchers into pieces about TIVE
feet long and ten inches squarR,
then smoked and picked and sent across
the ocean to Belgium in tierces. lie
ships as many as 100 tierces at time.
In Belgium the people don't object to
eating horse meat. Some of it. accord
ing to rum0r, comes back here in nice
foreign brands and tariff dpty paid as
choice imported bologna. Two years
ago the department of agriculture at
Washington sieZed 100 tierces of the
stuff as UNFIT for export as fuod. as it
had not been property inspected. Now,
to keep up the glDi repute thus estab:
lished, the exporter employs .veter-
mary surgeon himself to inspect every
animal killed.
