St. Columbkille, it may be mentioned, died
in Iona, little island off the coast of Ire

and was brought to Ireland in llSa. The
authenticity of these urns Is generally ac-

miles south of the most southern part Of

ORIGIN OF NAME.
1t was only after nearly a century of con-
troVersy, of litigation, almost of civil war:
that Penns descendants finally acquired
the fruition of his schemes. After several
years abortive attempts by local surveyors
to carry out the mandates of the English
noted English matbematicians-C Ma
son and jeremiah Dixon-to come to this
country and mark out the boundary on the
ground.
They brought the best Instruments of the
day, and. entirely discarding the compass
needle, so generally and unfortunately en-
p,oved in similar work, they made a survey
that is really monumental in its way, and
Undoubtedly the best of all the provincial
boundary surveys.

The object Of the present survey Is to
restore the old monuments, many of which
erect additional monuments for the better
definition of the line.
Owing to the fact of Maryland being a
slave State, while Pennsylvania was free
State, this line was frequently mentioned in
the long discussion over that burning Ques-
tion and many confound it with the Mis-
souri, compromise line"
1t was also generally forgotten that the
boundary between Maryland and Delaware
was part OF the Mason and Dixon line.
These were both slave States and there was
therefore no distinction to be drawn. IL

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
OF general interest to-day is the ancient
Cathedral at Downpatrick, Ireland. which
shelters the grave OF Erin's patron saint.
and on the east wall OF which rests the urn
containing the dust of the great missionary.
1t was close to this spot that St Patrick
died, more than 1,4oo years ago. and hero
his remains have rested ever since.
From 49S A. D., when he died at the little
town of Saul, in County Down, thence he
ing removed to Downpatrick for burial. the
site of his grave has been occupied by
church reared on the spot as memorial.
Time and again the structure has been de-
stroyed. and again and again 1t has been
rebuilt. The nave and chancel of the present
structure date back to l6i9 while the tower

Later, this was burned, and was replaced

war, great or petty, which swept over
Northeastern Ireland, and its destruction
followed every temporary defeat of the resi-
dents OF the settlement.
The church was Invariably replaced, how
ever, and at the time of the Norman con-
quest was constructed In tower form Of
stone. This edifice was In great demand as
a fort, being the only structure of the sort
in the country side. and was resorted TO by
the Irish IN times of peril. The church was
repeatedly stormed, taken and destroyed
even after this period. and was completely
raZed when occupied as a fort by Lord
Grey, in Queen Elizabeths reign.

FAMOUS CROOKED SPM CHURCH KING IS GOING TO SCI

London, March liking Edwards inten-
tion to take an automobile trip to quaint
old Chesterfield to see the famous church
with the crooked spire has awakened great
interest in that curious building and it is
likely there will be a revival of the pill
grimages that formerly were made to that
section.
The church is an architectural freak The
steeple is 22S feet high, and in some manner
has become twisted so that it now is six
feet out of the perpendicular.
There are various theories as to how the
spire became crooked. One is that the
ciinging pressure of the lead caused an
irregular subsistence of the timber frame
work The other is that the action of the
sun caused the timbsrs to warp.
Whatever the reason the church with the
crooked spire Is one of the most remark
able in England. Many thousands of per
sons have gone there and hundreds of pr
sons have climber into the belfry.
