AT CAMP POTOMAC.
The MaryIand--West Virginia Boundary
Line Surveying Camp.

The Maryland-West Virginia Boundary
Line Surveying Camp.
LAST Sunday by an invitation ex-
tended by those in charge of the
boundary line survey between Mary
land and West Virginia a number of
the citizens of Oakland went up to
the camp and spent the day, and a
glorious day it was. The sun was
gone too warm, the air was balmy and
irle dinner-well, one cannot say too
much in its praise.
H'he camp is situated on the side Of
a Bill about two miles north of Horse
Shoe run, on cleared piece of land,
upon which until a few years ago
school house stood. but which was
Burned. At the extreme north end
of the camp is the kitchen, presided
over by Henry Clark, whose ability
as a cook cannot be gainsaia. Ad-
joining the kitchen is the dining tent
and then comes three large tents used
for sleeping purposes and for clerical
work. All the tents front the road,
and the Maryland flag floats proudly
over all, even though the camp is
upon disputed territory. Water is
procured for culinary purposes at a
never-failipg spring of pure mountain
-1a'sfter within :, stones throw of the
kitchen.
Across the road from the tents Mr..
Browning, who j. a born woodslnan,
has erected number of benches from
hewed logs, in triangular shape, in
the centre Of which a big pile OF fallen
timber is kept constantly burning.

labor is ended, the party gather and

party has made the survey. The
country is covered with growth of
virgin forest, and slow progress is
made in the work.
20 the north Of tila camp and with
in sight the Preston Lumber com
pany is operating quite extensively
in logging. Here boarding houses
have been erected and quite large

in cutting timber and hauling the
logs to the stream down which they
are fioatcd to the mill at Crcllin.

WORK OF SCIENCE.
Influence of Sanitation and Hygiene
Upon City Life.


Upon City Life.
In recent lecture on what sanitation
has done for human life Prof. Brewer,
of Yale university, sold that no one
doubts that human life has been pro-
longed by the application of science
IL the last so years. How much, mathe-
matically, this amounts to in years, in
per cent, is an unanswerable question.
We can never have the data in figures.
Even II we had our vital statistics COM
pleted for that period men would differ
as TO the relative values of the several
factors in this problem. Our great
cities would not exlst-they could not
exist--without the aids of science. We
have had the ancient Egyptian ond
Greek and Roman civilizations, which
were pagan, and later Christian civili-
zation, and all were powerless to con-
vert practices. Between the epidemics
which ragged from time to time and the
high death rate in the best years, the
population of Europe as q whole prob
ably scarcely increased at all for 1000
or 1,200 years. This century came in
without @ single city in Christendom
with 100000 inhabitants. Paris had
in $500 but $4,000; London and the
suburbs. in 1901. s64.s45. The other
English cities had less than 100000.
Great cities could not endure then.
First, the people could not be fed. Then
most of the food had to be produced
within 20 miles Of the place of con-
sumption. Science has now made II
possible to transport food half way
around the globe and has discovered
new methods of preservation as well.
City population was not self-perpetuat-
Ing Men died of; the death rate was
continually high, and from time to time
there was death by pestilence. Even
where there were sewers they were to-
drain the ground Of winter rather than
to carry away sewage. Now cities are
made nearly as healthy as the country.
