DIPLOMACY AND SCIENCE.

The boundary dispute between Chill and Ar
sentina affords striking illustration Of the cyl
that nrises from the needless or inaccurate use
of technical words and phrases. usage by no
means infrequent In diplomatic instruments.
No doubt the negotiators between those two
republics thought that everything was grace
fully concluded" when. five years ago, they
agreed that all lands and waters least Of the
highest crests of the Andes which divide the
"waters'' should belong to Argentina, and all
west thereof TO Chill. Nothing could be simpler.
palmer. more Just, more satisfactory. Yet out
of that most admirable agreement has arisen
all the subsequent trouble.
The fallacy in that agreement which makes
the whole thing null and void. is the assumD
ton that the highest creSts Of the Andes mark
tho line OF the watershed. That is n natural
enough assumption for the thoughtless and un-
learned TO indulge in, but 1t Is untrue The
"hiehcst crests of the Andes do not divide
the waters" and no amount of diplomatic as
sumpticn can alter the scientific fact. Indeed
the coincidence Of mountain ridges with water
sheds is the exception rather than the rule
Observe, for example. the greatest OF oil noun

stupcndous ridges Of the Himalayas and the
Hindoo Koosh form no watershed. Gnnges and
Jumna Indus and Brnhmnpootra, all rise be-
yond them and traverse them. In Europe the
Err Mountains are not the watershed Of tho
Elbe, nor the B6hmerwald nor the Transyl-
vanlan Alps Of the Danube In our own land
We see the Columbia scornlng the would-be
watershed OF the Cascade Mountains, and the

our land will come grief and sorrow
because frsm them is being taken

THE United States is thoroughly
justified IN despatching a fleet of
war war ships to attack the Span
ish coast. SPANS defeat is inev-
liable, and the sharper and quicker
the truth is brought home to her,
the better it will be for all con-
cernsd. So long as Spain is al
lowed to follow dilatory methods,
so long will the war last, but if
forced by active aggressivsness on
her own coast she will yield the
sooner. The war on the part Of the
United States has been admirably
conducted, but severe and crushing
punishment is the only thing that
will satisfy the Dons.

god reason for the feeling, too,
when the true blue followers of pop

principle, are turned down for the
parasites Of the party, those who
are pops because of the smoluments
they hope to receive. The populist
ticket is a conglomerate mess, with
