SETTLE BOUNDARY FEUD.
Engineers Fir Massachusetts, Line,
Disputed Too Centuries.

New Haven Oct. Z (SpeciaD.-The boundary
line between Connecticut and Massachusetts,
which has been in dispute for two centuries,
Will be settled within two weeks. The strip
between the states has caused bloodshed at
times. and although violence has not been re-
sorted 70 in recent disputes the exact limits of
either state have not been agreed upon, and
their uncertainty has given rise to embarrass-
ing litigation.
Engineers representing the two states have
been at work for months surveying the land in
dispute. Henry Robinson Buck. the engineer
who has represented Connecticut in the survey
states that the work will be finished IN two
weeks and his report will be prepared for the
General Assembly. The delay Of several weeks
in the completion of the work was caused by
finding the boundaries between Longmeadow,
Mass, and Enfield Conn. The stones to mark
them would have been set weeks ago but for
the marshy condition OF the soil.
Attorney General Holcomb. who was re-
quested by the Legislature TO direct the survey.
says that he does not think that future action
by the Legislature is necessary TO make the
survey legal on the part of the state but II
Is probable that at the next session a vote
will be passed accepting the new boundary. The
work will cost about $4,000 More than two
hundred stones have been placed 10 mark the
boundaries. They have been placed four and
one-haf feet under the ground and are about
nine feet in length. They are set al the sides
of highways which run from one state into the
other and knolls or hills which are near the
boundary.
In some cases families lost their residence in
one state. but changes of this kind were rare,
as the state limits have not been altered extern

RENTING CAMERAS.

One can hire harp or 4 steam boiler. diving
suit a typewriter. In fact. there is scarcely
any article or appliance of use that one may not
hire. Among the comparatively later additions
to the list are cameras.
1t might be supposed that anybody sufficiently
interested in Photography to want to take pict-
ures would own a camera but not all so inter-
ested do own one. Here. for instance is. a man
convalescing after a long Illness. with some
weeks of idleness to look forward TO before he
can go back to work or business. He thinks he
would like to take some pictures on the davs
when he can get out, and he doesn't want to buy
a camera for, perhaps, he would have no oppor-
tunity to use II later. so he hires one for his
present use.
And then there people who may want to
hire a camera for some temporary business use
and there are people owning cameras who may
want a bigger camera, one of another sort
from the they own~for some special purpose
eras rented are hired by tourists visitors from
various parts OF the country who find when
they get here that they want to take pictures
One dealer in Photographic Instruments and
supplies who rents cameras will rent large in
struments of any dimensions If sufficient time is
given to prepare them. Easily portable cameras;
of various kinds and sizes he keeps ready for

Cameras are rented at fr9E 80 cents day
