1t is now reported that n party of
FinlanderS have discovered Il series of
mounds which marked the boundary
between Russia and England in Alaska.

GENTLY far to the eastward to include
the whole of the Klondike region as
American territory. This, of course, is
a matter of the greatest Importance, if
true, for it would eliminate one of the
issues most difficult to adjust before the
joint high commission. But as this is
the season when discovering petrliied
men, Runic stones, and other queer
relics becomes II mania, it is well to
take the story with due reservation
until fuller particulars are learned.

With the aid Of a blackboard, NJ. Pa
ray-Javal demonstrated the fallacy of

At the same time, the draughtsman de-
clared that even If N. BertillOn had
done 50, the results would not have
proved anything.
