y great deal of discussion has been eN-
cited by the recent use of the German
word "thalweg," and objection has
been taken to its introduction into dip

agreement, although it's exact mean

seems to have gained ground that it
signifies the drainage area of river
What it does, in fact, signify is the
middle line of river, and as water
tends naturally to the lowest available
level, a river flowing through a valley
may he taken as the dividing line of
the valley. An imaginary line drawn
down the center of the river is, there
fore, supposed to mark the boundary
between two states, each owning one
side of the valley, and this imaginary
line is known as the "thaiweg.
As an example of it's previous use in
international agreements, the case
may be quoted of the protocol signed
in Brussels in April, 1887, defining the
boundaries between the French Congo
colony and the Congo Free State. By
that instrument it was provided that
the Congo Free State was not to eXer-

which expresses this idea. and since
the Germans have, there is no apparent

Why rail against the radiant summer sun
Because it beats too harshly- on some
days,
Because it brings not joy to every one,
Nor peace, nor comfort to all human
ways,
Because with sudden potencies it beats
Upon the city in death-burdened heats?
What season of the year has not it's sting?
WINTER is glorious, yet may freeze the
heart:
t'here is subtle poison in the breath OF
spring,
And autumn harbors an envenomed dart:
Each has its charm, each feels its own de-
sire
As every soul its own imperious fire.
These days of summer are so rich with
bloom
so sweet with perfumes of the flowers
and trees,
50 wonderful with starlights hazed in
gloom,
So full of mystery on melodous seas,
10 tender, dreamfui, with bird-haunted
Moons

r'lat we who live them with Iove-'ighted
souls,

Beyond the commonplace of common goals,
Beyond the dull restraints that all men

@nd we are thrilled with divining sense
OF love and its supreme omnipotence:
: on earth SeeIss like garden where ou'
thought
Blossoms anew in fresh and tender

Where beauty has the power of life full
