NORWAY'S FRONTIER
Separated From Sweden by
Broad Desert Tract.
4 NATURAL BARRIER
NO REAL, FIXED BOUNDARY LINE
EXISTS,
Reason Why Norway's Connection
With Sweden Has Not Been
So Intimate.

Toward the east Norway has long land
frontier. which almost equals her coastlfne
In length-1,5O0 miles as against LOO miles
Farthest north the country is bounded by
Russia for one hundred miles, then by Fin
land for $50 miles, and for the remaining
a5O miles by Sweden. The boundary line
runs southwark. to some extent following
the watershed OF the Scandinavian penn-
sula. At 90 degrees this is quilted and the
line follows the eastern limit OF the Glom-
men district and then of Tistedalen, the
upper part of the Klara, however, also fall
ing within the confines of Norway. From
typographical point of view Norway does
not seem to have any natural boundaries
IN a general sense on her land side. 1t has
even proved to be utterly impossible to draw
a reasonable boundary line that really fol-
lows the watershed; no marked division
exists, no chain of mountains, no separating
keel" 1t has not in reality been a definite
natural line" that has divided Norway

The heavy rains In the country about the
headwaters of the Potomac has caused a
heavy current In the river and this morning
the muddy flood was rolling down the
stream under the railway bridges at a speed
variously estimated at from five TO ten
miles an hour. The strength OF the cur
rent was felt as far down the river as
Glymont and II is thought that the main
body of the water is yet to come Some
fears are expressed that the muddy tides
will extend to the lower river and will
ds mage the oyster beds, as was done by
a summer freshet year or two ago
Unusually high tides have been prevail
Ing In the river for the past three or four
days and the rivermen say they are caused
by the prevailing OF strong winds from the
east on the coast Yesterday morning the
water was over the sea wall around the
Potomac Park and there was but little fall
of during the day. The tides this morning
were again high and westerly winds are
needed TO make the water return to it's
usual summer level. The tide has not been
high enough to cause any anxiety what
ever, IL Is simply an unusually high tide
for this season of the year and will fan
off as soon as the prevailing easterly wealth
er is over. The high tides have given
the steamboat men some trouble by MAX

The Value Of Acquaintance.

From Leslie MHgHzlut.
How professional men make acquaintance
can be illustrated by the story of two men
whom / know. One of them, q dentist, had
a practical father, who taught him how
good an investment good clothes and many
friends might be. This doctor lived for
many years at leading hotels and at even

was never pieasanter man than he at
these leisure times, nor a man of better
appearance, although during the early
years he was constantly In debt to his
father, and in all this social life he never
mentioned his profession or his work UNI

had his hat badly crushed by street car.
The delegation had its own car, and ate

Europe and dined at the captains table,
always in immaculate evening clothes.
Sometimes he went and returned by the
same ship. for there was little to gain by
staying abroad. Everybody liked him, and
today he has an immense practice, a con-
siderable proportion Of which, he admits
frankly, can be traced to his steamship
acquaintance. One day a year ago he met
lawyer of about his own age and degree
of success at their club.

Hampshire lawyer:
Gen. Marston was attending court at
Dover. when young attorney made a mo-
ton that was denied by the court. The
young man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the judge.
So vehemently did he demonstrate that he
was fined $40 for contempt of court An
older attorney took the matter up. and he
was fined similar sum. Still another. who
thought he stood little better with the
Judge, endeavored to straighten the mat
ter out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers of
the state by paying ten spot" for con-
tempt
Gen. Marston was then seen to rise in his
seat and advance to the clerks desk. TAX
Ing his long pocket book from his pocket he
took out two ten dollar bills and laid them
on the desk.
What Is that for?' said the court.
II want you to distinctly understand.
said the general, that l have just twice as
much contempt for this d. court as any
man here, and am paying for 1t.

THE TRAVELS OF THE GOLDEN
nLOyER.
Continued from Fourth Page.)

The plovers now become very fat and
very strong, and are ready for their
great Journey to the southwark. They
leave the land at Nova Scotia and
strike straight out to sea. They now
have eighteen hundred miles of ocean
between them and the first of the An
titles. and six hundred more to their OBJ
jective point ON the main land of South
America. True, there are the Bermuda
Islands, eight hundred miles from Nova
Scotia, but il the weather is fair, the
birds do not stop but fly straight on
not onlyFto the Antilles, but sometimes
even to the mainland of South America
itself. OF. course, if a storm arises, and
drives them from the main track, they
seek the nearest land. and sometimes
appear at Cape Cod and on Long
Island. Perhaps they stop occasionally
on the way, for these plovers are good
swimmers, and are sometimes seen
resting ON the surface of the ocean
But probably the voyage does not
fatigue them very much, since when
they reach the first land, and might
alight as easily as not, they prefer to
continue their flight, sometimes for
hundreds of miles.

Well is it for them that they lay on
