AN UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LINE.

How Some GuiIeless TilIers of the Soil
 Move It.
 "YOu have heard of smuggling,I pre- sume," remarked guest at one of the hotels to- a Cleveland Leader man. Well" he continued, ''I ran against the most stupendous scheme in that line last summer I ever heard of. You are doubtless aware that ordinary everyday smugglers are content to transport their goods over the line from one country to another, the ob- ject being, of course, to evadc the pay ment of the customs duties. The peo- pie with whom came in contact were superior to such common methods, which might do for low pirates and outlawcd brigands but not for live, -wide-awakc Yankee, and especially a Canadian Yankee. They didn't move the goods. They moved the line.
 Up in the farthest easterly part of Maine there comes a place where Maine stops and New Brunswick be- gins. That is the boundary. line be- tween the two countries That is also where the Canadian Yankees spoken of have their homes. They arc natur- ally given to farming, some of these people, and even if Mckinley did put a duty on grain, poultry and other things it didn't make any difference with some of the sturdy yoeman who live alongside the line. The publication of the news of the passage of the tariff bill didn't cause them Q moments un. easiness.
 ''They simply went on raising their Canadian wheat and their Canadian oats. At the same time they kept their eyes on the boundary line-what they could see of it. The visible portion of this remarkable boundary consisted of upright iron posts. set at intervals of one mile through the land. Not being clinched on the other side of the earth, these posts are responsive toinfiucnce placed on them on the Canadian side. In other words, they can be taken up and reset.
 About the time these upright and honest farmers over the line have their crops in condition to harvest Q peculiar thing happens. Some dark night a half dozen of them go 'coon-hunting, and when they return to their fire sides they are on American. soil, they and their grounds and with them the crops. The boundary line has moved andsis located half-rnile orsso farther toward the Arctic.oe oeean. These guile less tillers of the soil then dispose of their products at United States prices, and some time during the winter, in some unknown manner, the boundary line takes a backward leap, leaving them again on Canadian seiE."

A Tarnip-Sized TimepieoeiTThat Weighs
 Two and a Half Pounds. ;'

A ponderous watch t55f antfq1ute pat tern displayed in the window Of a San Francisco; iswe1ry establishraent on MontgomeE.y sstFcct, attracts the at tention ofstlisenrious. The t;nlepiece is four .inehts in diameter and is de- clared By tic Bulletin torweigh two and half pounds. It's case looks like ! old gold, but is a composition of base metal. The chain attached to this watch is proportions tely ponderous and bears g seal ring large enough for the finger of a giant. The watch was made by John Bittleson, of London, two centuries ago. It was, no doubt, a marvel of workmanship in those days, and is still timckecper It probably cost about one hundred pounds sterling, or five hundred dol lars in our money. The hands upon it's ample dial mark, seconds and ,fifths of seconds, as well as hours and min utes. The dial also shows the phases not for sale. It is owned by gentle man of this city, who has a collection of such curiosities. .
 The old watch has Q history of some interest. About two hundred years ago an English sea captain obtained from the king of tribe of savages in the south Geas some valuable trading privileges. The king showed him many favOrs, and one day the captain asked the insular monarch to say what most he would like to have sent to him from London. It pleased his royal highness to intimate that big watch would suit him well. Accord ingly watch was made to order on a, scale befitting his royal parsonage. And great was his pride therein. Hav ing no pocket, he appointed youth watch bearer extraordinary to the SOY creign. Wherever the king went the watch bearer followed, carrying the precious royal timepicce in his hands. When the king died his sons succeeded to the ownership of the watch. They sold it to the captain of an American ship, and he disposed of it in Phila delphia. Some time ago it fell into the hands of its present owner, who prizes it highly. This is no doubt one of the oldest repeating watches in ex- istence. It's ring is very musical.

 Reliable Maps.
 A vast but fascinating problem con fronts Russia on her Chinese frontier & problem which cannot be disposed of fps one 0reten two generations. No pOwt~s however, knows better how to wait than Russia. Timc is on her side. and us the necessary preliminary to all wise action is knowledge, the Russian general staff has been making the full est use of the opportunities which treaties afforded to gain accurate in- formation concerning the Chinese ter ritories and everything appertaining thereto.
 Not corner of the whole empire. save what comes within the "sphere of influence" of the French, but has been. intersected by Russian government ex- 2 plorers and armed expeditions during tho past thirty years:
 These explorers, include botanists and geologists. of course, but the mill- tary expert and the skilled topographe4' are the animating soul of these expe- ditionS.
 Occasional glimpses into their pro. ceedipgs are allowed to the world, but every fact of military or political sig nifcance is carefully conserved in the z. archives of the Russian intelligence department.
 la -, The minute information concerning all the northern and western territo- ries of China, which is now in the pos session of the Russian staff is not only such as no other power possesses. but is incomparably superior. to anything in the hands of the Chinese govern 'E ment itself.
 Hence it is that whenever a question SSAof boundaries arises Russia is prepared with elaborate maps of the regions. to which Cuba has not only nothing to oppose, but which she is not even able to. criticise.

A Relic of Old dLonhnn.

.-one of the most interesting relics of old London is St. Johns gate. Clerken- well, which. because it does not hap pen to lie in one of the. main arteries of the big city, is not so well known, even to Londoners, as it should be. It is the only remaining portion of the important Priory of St. John, which dates from the fourteenth century. The old gateway has literary interest at- tached to it. for in the room above the archway Dr. Johnson worked for Cave, the printer for a smallwcekly stipend; and the Gentldman's Magazine, which to this day bears picture of the arch .i way on it's cover, was first printed here.
