The Canadian government surveyor
who was commissioned by the gov
eminent to locate the stakes defining
the boundary line in the Mount Baker
district for 100 miles from Sumas,
Washington, toward the coast, and
thus settle all disputes. makes the re-
markable statement to the govern
ment that he could find no stakes any
where to denote that a survey of the
boundary was ever made. This bears
out the stories told by old-timers in
the Yale district to the effect that
when the Joint international survey
committee was sent to define the bound
airy 1t was appalled, at the high noun
tains, deep cliffs and dense forests
fringing the 49th parallel and agreed
to report the survey as having been
made without actually making 1t.

regimental physician in

A regimental physician in the
French army has investigated the ef-
feet upon soldiers Of regular marching
in disciplined bodies. The uniformity
OF the soldiers step causes the indef-
infte repetition OF a shock Of the brain
and bones. and consequently the mode
OF motion Is far more d~eleterious than
an irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains Of the men to
the fact that the same parts of the
body receive the series OF shocks.
What does the doctor suggest by way
OF relief? Experiments veshown that
his plan Is eficacious. The device is
simple: A rubber heel for all military
boots. The brain-jar and other I'M
favorable sensations are SO diminished
as TO give the i~nfantrymen a new lease
OF activity. The relative efficiency OF
the army may thus be increased by
what might be considered an unimpor-
tant change. The scale might be
turned In a long and close contest in
iavor OF the rubber-heeled men. and
ane map OF Europe altered.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Never since the
birth Of the new navy has there been
such a gathering Of shipbuilders and
metal kings as were assembled in the
office of the secretary of the navy at
oon yesterday to witness the opening
Of bids for an amount of naval con-
struction which Secretary Long de-
nominated as the greatest industry
this or any other country had ever
seen, involving the placing of con-
tracts to the amount of about $50, 000,-
600. There were eight bidders for the
construction OF the five battleships and
six armored cruisers. All the bids
were within the limit of cost figured
by the appropriation. The indications
on the face of h bids are that
The Successful Bidders
for n or more vessels will be the
Newport News company, the Cramps,
the Fore River Works of Massachu-
sets. the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco. and perhaps Moran Bros.
& Co. of Seattle, Wash, The notable
feature was the attempt on the part
OF the younger and smaller concerns
to break the line of the ones which
nave CoiSlEuCleu nearly all Oh the new
navy up to this time. While it is not
possible at this moment to forecast
results accurately, there are indica-
tons that in at least one instance,
and perhaps two instances, the at
tempts will be attended with
Some Degree of Success,
for 1t looks as If some of the work will
be bestowed upon the Fore River COM
pany. which appears for the first time
as a bidder for the construction of
armored ships. The Pacific coast, too,
presents a likely candidate in the
shape of the Moran Bros. & Co.'S bid.
Because OF the specifications it is not
possible 20 tell yet which bids are
actually the lowest. A naval board
will consider the bids and report upon
them. The act of congress limits the
cost of cruisers to So, SOC, 600 each. and
of the battleships to $4,250, 900 for the
sheathed and $4,000, 900 for the un-
sheathed.
