TAKEN FROM A TREE.
Mark Made Thirty Years Ago Found
Reneath the Bark and Growth.

The line of survey between the Muscu-
piahe rancho and the foremost reservation,
which has been so often disputed and so
many times surveyed, has at last Deeh
settled, and in g. novel manner A huge
old sycamore tree has given witness, and
that in the form of record that is be-
yond dispute. The original survey of the
line in question was made almost thirty
years ago On the location of Station ~
there has never been any dispute, but
many claims were put forth Tor the loca-
ton of Station 80 Later and private sur
veys claimed that The line must have gone
almost straight east from station ~
which is in Devils Canyon. Again, the
claim has been made by surveyors that
the line of the survey from Station % to
Station 30 runs in a general southeast
erly direction. AS Station 50 is over
mile east of Station 49, this made dis
crepancy of over 1,5oo feet at Station 30.
Many private surveys have been made,
and the exact location of the line mas been
the subject of many thousands of dollars
worth of litigation. In the Muscupiabe
land cases this has been one of the sub
jects of dispute A short time ago United
States Surveyor G. H. Perrine appeared
in this city with a force of men, and has
been steadily working on this survey ever
since. The original survey, made thirty
years ago, was the work of Surveyor John
Hancock. and the field notes made by him
were brought with Mr.. Perrine. When the
disputed territory was passed there was
memorandum stating tree had been blazed
near Station 30. Arriving at a point where
he thought the station should be located,
Mr.. Perrine sighted over the surrounding
country for tree which he thought might
have been growing at the time of the first
survey.
A tree was found that bore on it's trunk
q rough and gnarled spot. The surveyor
decided that if this was the tree, inside of
the trunk should be Indications of the
original marks. He took an axe. cut
above and below the rough spot, removed
huge chip, and there In the heart of the
tree We're the original marks made long
ago. The characters appeared inverted
on the chip, and as plain as the day when
first made--"M--20-B. t. signifying
Muscupiabe Station 60, blazed tree.
The chip was brought to the city yester
day and forwarded to the federal courts
at Los Angeles, where it will in the future
be used as evidence clearly proving the
original line of survey. The marks on the
trunk of the tree had been overgrewn
with almost thirty years of growth, so
that it was due to Mr. Perrines persever-
ance and knowledge Of botany that the
line was definitely settled beyond all dis
pute.-San Bernardinc Sun.

There does not seem to be. at first glance,

cycles, but there is, and map publishers
report that cycling is responsible for new
and enlarged demand for road maps, es-
pecially those mounted on muslin, says
the New York Sun. Heretofore the maps
in most general use have been railroad
maps, and the greatest care has been
taken to make these exact, the United
States being far ahead of all other coun-
tries in respect of the manufacture OF
maps giving the locations Of cities and
In England, France. and Germany. the
manufacture Of typographical maps has
been carried much farther than i'll The

fact that the construction 81 such maps

der to supply the constantly. increasing
demands of bicycle riders for good road
cations, more especially such as are on

been an enormous increase in the sale of

DOUBLE ROW OF MONUMENTS.

Two hundred and fifty-eight stone and
iron monuments now mark the boundary
line between the United States and Mex
ico from the Rio Grande to the Pacific

cast iron,ssbut the principal ones are of
stone They average about two and half
miles apart, but in no case Is there an In
terval of as much as five miles between
them Stone was used wherever possible.
Generally they are in the form OF simple,
tapering four sided shaft, bearing suitable
inscriptions in English and Spanish. The
stone monuments are about eleven feet
high, and the iron monuments about six
and half feet high They are arranged
so that they are within sight of one an
other
The country traversed consists mainly OF
deserts and mountains, and In many In
stances the work was prosecuted with cen
siderable difficlty BY the terms of the
treaty the destruction or disbursement Of
any of these monuments is made nlisde-
meanor punishable according to the JUS
tice of the country OF the offenders ma
tionality.
An extensive report of the commission
that did the work, covering 700 pages Of
printed matter and accompanied by maps
and Photographic views, was submitted to
Secretary Olney yesterday by Colonel j.
W. Barlow, Corps of Engineers, .. S. A.
The original treaty between the two coun-
tries in regard to this work was con-
cluded July %, 1882. The line was formerly
marked by about fifty monuments, and the
remarking became necessary in order to
put an end to the constant disputes and
controversies over territorial rights result
ing from their destruction or displacement.
Wherever possible the original monuments
were restored. Many OF them had been
displaced and others completely dstroyed.
The report is signed by all the, members
of the commission. and its conclusions are
binding upon the two governments con-
cerned.-Washington Post.

TESTED ny a STAR.
The O1d-Time Method of Calculating
Time and Mensuring Distances.

Some very old printing that was brought
to light the other day contains curious sug-
gestions for making certain calculations
that will interest many people, says the,
Detroit Free Press. One OF the suggestions
runs to the effect that person may ascer-
tain the rate Of his walking by the aid Of
piece of string with a piece of lead at one
end of 1t. The string should be knotted at
distances of A feet; which distance is the
10th part of an English mile. and bears the
same proportion to mile that half a min
ute bears to an hour. If the traveller when
going at his usual gait, drops the lead
letting the string slip through his hand,
the number Of knots which have passed in
half a minute Indicate the number Of inches
he walks in an hour.
An easy method of correctly regulating
timepiece by the stars is suggested as fol-
lows:

to the fixed stars Chose that twinkle) Is

manner be correctly regulated by the stars
