How Trees Are Like Human Beinrs

Nature has many peculiar laws gov
ernfng the organism of trees. One is
that every individual twig, spray, all
the foliage, every fiber, takes precisely
it's own thickness of wood from the
parent stem. This same law is mani
tested in the proportions of the human
organism. The length of the arms from
finger tip to finger tip (arms extended)
is the precise measurement of the
length Of the legs of human being.
and other measurements are the same
in proportion.

importers Furnish Bond.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, of the Department
of Agriculture, returned from New
York, where he was in conference with
importers and the Collector Of the Port
N. N. Stranhan regarding the enforce
ment OF the Pure Food law.
The importers secured the approval
OF the officials to an arrangement
whereby they will be allowed to remove
goods from the docks and warehouses
without delay, upon giving bond to
double the value OF the goods. Should
any imports be condemned by the in
spectors the dealers agree to return the
rejected articles Immediately for return
shipment. The expense of rehandling
goods will be much less, it is calculated,
than the amount now paid out in stor-
age charges while awaiting completion
OF the official inspection.
On the recommendation Of the two
officials to their respective superiorS,
the Treasury Department has issued
an order embodying the regulations de-
sired. This will expedite the handling
of shipments in the import line.

UNCLE SAM WINS HIS CASE
Decision Ia the Alaska Boundary Con.
trOversy.
CANADIANS VERY MUCH CHAGRlNED.
All the Questions Decided ID Favor OF the
CONVENTIONS of the Quilted States Except
That In Relation to the Portland Canal,
Which Canada Wins-This Concession Was
Made by the American Commissioners.

London (By Cable).-The Alaska
Boundary Commission has reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained, with the ex-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land Canal, which Canada wins. All
that now remains to be done is to
complete the map which will accom-
pany the decision. On the map will be
marked the boundary line definitely
fixing the division OF American and
British territory, on such basis that
no American citizen will lose foot
of land he already believed he held,
while the United States will get all
the waterways to the rich Alaskan ter
ritory, with the exception Of the Port
land Canal, which gives Canada the one
outlet she so much needed.
The Understanding dispute was only
settled after a week OF keen, trying, Sc
cret elaboration between the arbitra-
tors. Even up to noon there was an
acute possibility that a disagreement
might result and the whole proceedings
fall to the ground. Lord Alverstone,
though openly inclined to believe in the
justice of the American argument that
the United States was entitled to the
heads Of inlets, as contained in queS-
ton 5, held out that Canada had es-
tablished her case in questions and 3,
dealing with the Portland Canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge, Sec
rotary Root and Senator Turner
agreed to cede those points, and to
start the American boundary line from
the head of the Portland Canal, thus
giving the Canadians that channel and
some small islands on which there are
only few disused storehouses. This
accomplished, the majority of the tri-
bunal agreed to fix, with this exception
the entire boundary as outlined in the
American case. Whether McsSrs.
Aylesworth and Jette, the Canadian
commissioners, will refuse to sign the
decision and make it unanimous is not
yet known, but it will not affect the
validity Of the agreement if minority
report is submitted.
