Northwestern BOUNDARY.

The Seattle Daily Times, dated Octo-
Der I has the following in regard TO the
summers work of Skowhegan man:
George Otis Smith, of the United
States geological survey, who, with a
party of six men, has been at work all
summer along the line of the boundary
between Canada and the United States,
came in town today and is registered at
the Rainier-Grand Hotel. The men of
his party have returned to Ellensburg,
where they live and where the outfit is
wintered.
my instructions were to make an in
spection along the boundary line," said
Mr.. smith this morning. with the es-
pecial purpose of seeing If the monu-
ments were still in place. The state
department in particular wanted this
information, and | shall make this
special report in addition to my regular
report to the chief of the geological sur
vey. Until my report is published |
can not give out any information con-
corning the monuments, except that |
may say that the monuments are there.
I'VE began our work about the mid
die of June at Lake Osoyoos in the
Okanogan Valley. From there we went
westward to Blaine, a distance OF be-
tween $50 and 200 miles. During July
and August we we're working in coun-
try utterly devoid of trails and for
months we never saw a human being
outside of the members of our own
party.
"As there was no map of this country
made one which will prove useful to
prospectors, although it is not as aceu-
rate or as complete as If it had been
made by Typographical survey. We
worked along strip ten miles south of
the boundary line, though in some in
stances / varied this instruction by tax
ing in wider area. We particularly
inspected the monuments and we made
study of the mineral development and
of the geological formations.
1--WE had very satisfactory season.
Our work took us through the grandest
scenery of the Cascades / know of no
country more delightful than that along
the 5kagit river and through the Mount
Baker country.
II met the Canadian party who were
also inspecting the boundary line, and
we met the surveying party headed by
Mr.. Sinclair, of our service. This party
was working eastward, and | do not
know where they are now. The Cana
dian survey was recruiting the boundary
line which had been put through forty
two years ago, Much of the line was
lost on account of the growth of trees
and shrubs that have come up since"

parent that Moros had been dead several

as it should be, and death was probably
due to old age, for Moros was very aged,
probably nearly, if not quite 100 years
old

fluential citizens of the town and has for
many years taken an active part in all
public matters pertaining to the welfare
of his town. He was prominent granger

A fall of rail to the average depth of one
inch over region four miles wide ana
eighteen miles long is fall OF I67. $40, 900
cubic feet OF ice weighing neary one
million tons. The average elevation from
which it fell may be taken as five thousand
feet. All the mass that fell must previously
have been raised to that level; that is, one
million tons must have been raised FIVE
thousand feet or five million foot tons OF
work must have been done. which cores
ponds to the work of an engine of milliou
horse power working for five hours. When
the hail fell the force of gravity did this
identical amount of work. II We wish to
prevent the fall OF hail we must somehow
do the same amount of work per hour,
and we must keep up the work at the
same rate as long as necessary. The

view suggests that the spasmodc discharge
of few small cannon is not likely to be
very affective as preventive.

Forel, the Swiss zoologist. This organ is
well developed in the workers, smaller in
the females aud merely rudimentary in the
males The insects have the senses OF
sight, smell, touch and taste, hearing be-
ing doubtful. The ants are endowed with
memory and reasoning powers, and in their
warfare it is easy 10 see their courage. their
despair, the order for the fray and their
personal hatreds.
