Will Ned a Spanish


Nile. Zelie de Lussan, whose en-
gagement to Don Andrade, a Spanish
nobleman, is announced, is not only a
singer Of the first rank but an admir-
able actress as well. AS a singer she
has gained high repute in this coun-
try and Europe and has played Car
men several hundred times in Eng
lish, French and Italian. Her beau
ty, her grace, her true dramatic in
stinct made her favorite everywhere.
She was born in New York of French
parents and to her mother, who was a
well-known singer, she owes her
training. She made her first public
appearance when she was years old.
and a few years later Joined the Bos-
ton Ideal company. She travelled
through the United States, taking the

corner Of Maryland 20 about TIE
northwest corner. The remainder Of
the Pennsylvania line to the south
west corner Of Pennsylvania was sur
Veyed and Remarked In 1885.
1t Is interesting to know that
Messrs. Mason & Dixon marked out
other lines beside the east and west
south boundary OF Pennsylvania.
Their journal, a copy of which is In
the possession Of the Maryland land
once and another copy in the Penn
sylvania Historical Society library,
states that they resurveyed the entire
west boundary of Delaware and also
determined the distance from the
northeast corner Of Maryland to the
Delaware river, Is miles below Phila-
delphia. These lines of Mason &
Dixon do not, Of course. come under
the attention of the new commission.
Granite posts three feet in length
will be used in the Mason & Dixon
marking. About the only inscription
will be a ''P" on the Pennsylvania
side and an IN" on the Maryland
side, together with a reference to the
authority under which the resurvey
is to be made.
The popular impression is that a
stone will be placed at the end Of each
mile, but this is erroneous. The topo-
graphy has much to do with the fire.
Quency of the marks, the idea being
to locate them SO that a straight line
from one to the next nearest can be
easily determined by the surveyor.
Stones are also placed at highways
and important streams for the con-
venience of officers OF the law.
The stones with which the greater
portion OF the Mason & Dixon Line
is now marked were brought from
England. Out in the western part OF
Maryland and in West Virginia, how
ever, mounds of earth and stones were
heaped up to a height of pe.haps eight
feet. That work was done in 1867.
yet in 1885 they were still two feet
or more above the level OF the ground.
and were serving their purpose fairly
well. The surveyors had cut great
vistas through the woods along the
boundary line as they progressed. and
these remained with much distinc-
ton.

Wolf Species Contribute to the Country's
Development
Wolf dogs are not the handsomest
of their species, yet they are now, and
have been in the past. contributing
not little aid to the development of
the far northwest. Much has been
said of the Klondike, but the wolf
dogs, which in the beginning made
that frigid FL Dorado possible, have
received little more than passing COM
ment. Nor has this neglect been due
to their being but the humble servants
of the master-man. They are far
from humble. as their wild ancestry

them still snarling their hatred. They
may be starved into apparent docility
and then die suddenly, with teeth fast
locked in a brothers throat, torn to
pieces by their comrades. Rather has
little attention been accorded them
because the interest of man has gravi-
tated inexorably toward the natural,
mineral and social features Of that far
northerly land. But the husky is far
from uninteresting. AS a type Of en-
durance no better evolved product OF
natural selection need be sought. II
ever a species has been born and bred
Of hard times it has. Only the fittest
in a struggle for existence extending
through a thousand generations have
survived. And they are well fit. Do
mesticated by the savage autochthons
of that forbidding region, they may

tors as wild wolves. but often their
