CHOICE MISCELLANY
Mason and Dixon Line.

The monuments of the Mason and
Dixon boundary line between Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland have suffered Sc
verely from the attacks of vandals,
and they will soon be replaced with
cast iron markers.
Rapid progress is now being made on
the relocation OF the line. The eastern
portion was originally marked by stone
monuments at equal distances of ono
mile. Many Of these stones have been
removed or destroyed, The western
portion, owing to the great difficulty at
that time In the region traverSed by
the line, was marked by wooden posts.
cut on the spot and secured In place
by mounds of earth or stone piled
around them. These posts have dis
appeared. but some Of the mounds re-
main. Many of them have been de-
stroyed by cultivation Of the ground.
IL is believed, though. that enough OF
them can be recovered TO enable the
relocation of the boundary with pre-
cisiOn.
The PENNSYLVANIA legislature has APP
propriated $1,000 10 reset and repair

The scarcity of platinum is beginning

valuable metal has steadily risen I'M

than ever since its discovery, and ev-

about $50 an ounce. about twice the
quotation Of gold. while five years ago
II sold as low as So an ounce. Since
the flooding Of the platinum mines in
the Transvaal which occurred after
the breaking out Of the BOer war, man
ufacturers have had TO rely on Siberia
for their supply Of the valuable metal.
Some little hope was held out that
platinum would be found in Alaska and

Corn OIL Versus olive OIL.

The industrial and commercial papers
Of continental Europe are calling at
tentiOn TO the approaching competition
Of American corn oil. 1t is stated that
this oil is greatly appreciated from an
Industrial point Of view and that its
fine golden color and agreeable taste
make 1t a possible rival for older and
better known varieties Of table oil.
Well directed efforts have been made
for some time, notably at the Paris ex-
position, to establish this product in
foreign markets. and from pr sent in
dications 1t would appear Il 1T they

1t is not generally known that the
king pays taxes under protest-that is

prejudice TO the rates. For instance,
part Of the Windsor farm land lies
within the radius Of the borough. The

respond by paying sum just under
the amount requested, and the collector
Is satisfied. There is no question Of

ascension from the plaza OF the little

was well informed as to the part that
she was expected to act in the plan that
her daring lover had devised. Promptly
at the appointed time Prof. lie Roy ap-
peared on the plaza Of Santa Rosa and
began TO initiate his monster balloon
The welI-disguised lover mingled with
the great crowd that had assembled TO
witness the ascension. The old don's
curiosity had drawn him TO the plaza.
where he walked about. paying little
attention TO his daughter. for he
thought that he had scared her auda-
cious lover away. As the big balloon
began TO sway in the air. the lovers
drew closer together, and at a signal
from the aeronaut they approached the
balloon When the air ship was ready
TO start on its voyage Prof. lie Roy
stepped into the basket and a secret
signal was given. Before any one real
lied what was taking place. the daring
lovers sprang over the side Of the car
and accomplices cut the ropes.
The airship shot towards the clouds.
but not before Don Antonio had seen
his daughter in the arms Of the hated
American. With the agility Of youth.
he seized one OF the ropes and. drawing
his revolver. he shouted: My daugh-
ter" and instantly fired. lie Roy seized
knife to cut the rope, but the girl
caught his arm. She realized that the
balloon was already 50 high in the air
that the fall would Kill her father.
Howard grasped the situation. and
with heroic generosity he turned to
lie Roy and commanded him 10 let the
airship descend. i VIII doubtless lose
my life" he said. but 1 cannot consent
to be responsible for the death OF
Alma's father Don Antonio was still
clinging TO the rope and rapidly sending
pistol balls into the car. The balloon
slowly descended until the feet of the
enraged father were almost upon the
earth. Howard bent over the side of
the car. and after cutting the rope he
waved his hat At the old don. and
shouted: Il win be good TO Alma. and
when you wish ii we win come 10 see
YOU" The airship. relieved Of the
weight of the defeated aud furious old
man. shot upwards again. The lovers
could only hear bowls of rage mingled
with Oaths. and they We're glad TO be
beyond the reach Of the desperate man
who was clenehing his fists and shak-
I ing his pistol towards them. Some
hours afterward the balloon descended
near the little city OF Del Rio. in Texas.
and the lovers took the evening train
for san Antonio. where they soon
found 4 priest. who made them happy.
