What the Alaska Boundary Tribunal Is to Determin

beneft to Canada the British discov~ cred 8 new meaning for the terms ems ployed. It will be recalled that a few years ago Canada suddenly laid claim to the head of the deep inlet known an Lynn canal, including the towns of Dyea and Skaguay, and q modus viveI~ di was finally entered into between the Dominion and the United States as to the provisional government of this secs tion. Canada claimed that the bounda- ry line running north from Portland channel was to be measured from the outer shores of the islands along the coast instead of along the coast proflle and that at or near the head of Lynn canal it should leap across from ona mountain peak to another, thus gtv- ing the Canadians what they so much desired, deep water port as an outlet for the Klondike- But the United States held and has never departed from it's claim that the line extending ten marine leagues. or about thirty- four and one-half miles, inland should be measured from the mainland coast profile or tidewater.
 On Jan. 30, 1897, a treaty was signed by the United States secretary of state and the British ambassador at Washe ington providing for the demarcatiol1 of so much of the conterMfnous bound- ary line as lies along the one hundred and forty-first meridian, approximately from the summit of Mount St. Elias to the Arctic ocean. and this has been sat- isfactorily adjusted by a joint survey. so that the only remaining points of difference lie within the 500 mile stretch in southeast Alaska. Canada at ono time offered to surrender her claim to Dyea and Skaguay if she might be al- lowed to retain Pyramid Harbor, but inasmuch as the United States govern ment contended she had no show of right to either port her kind offer was politely refused, and her mounted po- lice, who swarmed into the disputed territory, were told to leave and not stand on the order of their going either. But a deep water harbor for the Klon- dike region is Canada's great desid- eratum, and she has at last forced the contention into the court of last resort in the forlorn hope that she will get 1t.

vestigation, the opportunities afforded for research study and the character and abilities of the workers available.
 Having ascertained, first of all, the need of such an institution and then the abundance of available material necessary to constitute it's personnel, MT. Rockefeller advanced another step and made his plans for localizing the scheme and making it of the greatest use to the country. His comprehensive plans show by their elaboration as to details the close attention for long period of master minds engaged in working out the problems of patholog- ical science and contemplate, first. the immediate erection of a laboratory in which will be conducted investigations in all departments of medical research by a large resident staff and co-ordi- nate staff of fellows" second, the building of hospital in which special groups of patients will be treated in order to develop new methods in the treatment of disease; third, the estab- lishment of a journal in which are to
 be published the results of the insti- tute's investigations and which will serve as a medium for discussion of kindred topics; fourth. the establish
 ment of popular lectures by which to spread information on hygienic mat ters; fifth, the institution of hygienic museum and the dissemination of lit erature bearing on the problems inves- tigated.
 A pleasing peculiarity of this insti- tuition will be the disposition of its fac
 ulties to take hold of practical prob- lems which now press so hard upon the
 public generally, and especially upon the poor. For example, it has already instituted series of experiments to as- certain the causes of contamination in
 the milk and the water supplies of our
 large cities and their prevention. 1t
 has initiated researches into the cause and cure of tuberculosis. tetanus. ty.

efeller Institute For Medical Research

A comparison has been made between the Rockefeller institute of medicine and the Carnegie institute of scienoe at Washington, in certain sense tho' former being considered the conpls- ment of the latter. But the Carnegie foundation at Washington is for the advancement of science mainly Aand, while farreaching in it's scope and per- haps ultimately beneficial, the former scheme hits nearer the mark. Libra ries and educational institutions have their values and uses, but the prime ne- cessity of the age is to know how to live and to live well, and this Mr. Rockefeller purposes to promote by means of his institute of medical re-s search.
 This institute will probably have its local habitation on or near the Easr river, in New York, where Q tract of several city blocks has been acqulred for the purpose between Sixty-fourth8 and Sixty-seventh streets. As the head of this great institute MT. RockefeIler has chosen Professor Simon Flexner. now professor of pathology in the uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Professor FIexner is a comparatively young man for such an important position. being only forty years old, but he has made g name for himself in the world of med- ica1 science. having written several works on scientific. subjects. He was educated in the University of Loufs- vile, was at one time professor of pathology in Johns Hopkins university and was member of the government commission sent to the Philippines to study army dysentery, making some interesting discoveries in relation to that disease He will soon resign his present position and go to Europe. where he will study along the line of his future work. returning by the tirae the projected laboratory is finished. fu October of next year

phoid, diabetes, smallpox and dysen- tery, the last named disease, 1t is said. being likely to yield to treatment by the dysenteric antitoxin recently dis covered. Special studies will be made in bacteriology, and a relentless war waged upon all the insects, big and lit- tle which infest the human body, as well as those that prey upon it from the outside, like flies and mosquitoes.
 It will be seen from the foregoing that the institute has been projected upon comprehensive plan. that it will doubtless be of incalculable bene- fit to MT. Rockefellers fellow citi- zens and will redound to his credit in generations yet to come. 1t will be insured of continuance in the future, near and far, by an ample endowment the generous donor having, it is said, suggested 10000, 900 as the least he will bestow upon it, while his son and heir, MT. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. takes an interest in the scheme second only to his fathers.
 One of the most hopeful features of the great work is the practical nature of it's investigations. For many centu- ries now men have been delving into natures arcana trying to wrest from her the secret of health and longevity. and by this time it is reasonable to ex- pect results. But, aside from the gen. eral fact that life is perhaps little longer than of yore--that is, the aver age life of the masses-humanity at large has not benefited from such in- vestigations as it should have done This is no time for mere palliatives but for radical reform in methods of pathological work. To go back to the beginning, to get at the origin of dis ease and thus fight it most intelligently, will be the laudable endeavor of the medical scientists whom MT. Rockefe1- Ter has furnished with the "sinews of war" and long suffering humanity will take hope from their Investigations.

limit is the line Of demarcation be- tween the Russian and British posses sions in North America as established by the convention between Russia and Great Britain of Feb. 2S (16), 1925, and described in articles and of said convention in the following terms:
 Commencing from the southernmost point of the island called Prince of Wales island, which point lies in par allel of 54 degrees 40 minutes north lat itude. and between one hundred and thirty-first and one hundred and thir- ty-third degrees of west longitude (ne- r1dian of Greenwich) the said line shall ascendato the north along the channel called Portland channel as far as the point of the continent where it strikes the fifty-sixth degree of north latitude; from this last mentioned point the line of demarcation shall fol- low the summit of the mountains situ- ated parallel to the coast as far as the point of intersection of the one hundred and forty-first degree of west longitude (of the same meridian), and finally from the said point of intersection, the said meridian line of the one hundred and forty-first degree, in it's prolonga- tion as far as the frozen ocean," Article 4, however, contains the crux of the treaty, providing That WitSIieVGE LIlc mountains which extend in direction parallel to the coast from the fifty-sixth degree of north latitude to the point of intersec- tion with the one hundred and forty- first degree of west longitude shall prove to be at the distance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean the limit between the British possessions and the line of coast which is to belong to Russia, as above men, tioned-that is to say, the limit to the possessions ceded by this convention- shall be formed by a line parallel to the winding of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten ma rine leagues therefrom.''
 The main question for the tribunal to decide after settling the minor points of difference is as to the intention of the convention in reserving the contin- uous strip of ten marine leagues ex- tending the whole length of southeast ern Alaska, a distance of some 600 miles, from Portland channel north-
