Two hundred and ifty-eight stones and
iron monuments mark the boundary line
between the United States and Mexico
from the Rio Grande to the Pacific, 700
miles. Most OF the monuments are of cast
iron. but the principal ones are OF stone.
They average about two and half
miles apart. but In no case Is there an
interval OF as much as Ave miles between
them. Stone was used wherever possible.
Generally they are in form OF a simple
tapering four-sided shaft, bearing suita-
BILE inscriptions In English and Spanish.
The stone monuments are about eleven
feet high and the iron monuments about
six and half feet high. They are ar
ranged so that they are within sight of

A Wonderful Memory

Blind Alex, who lived In Stirling. Scot
land, from 1880 to about 1S4O had the most
wonderful memory of which any account
has ever been recorded. He was familiar
ly known as "The Complete Concordance"
on account OF the fact that he knew the
entire Old and New Testaments ''by
heart" He was tested half dozen or
more different times before the Scottish
Society Of Advanced Learning and al
ways succeeded in convincing the pro-
fessors that he was all that had been
claimed for him. II any sentence In the
entire Bible was repeated to him he
would instantly name chapter and verse,
or II the book. chapter and verse were
named he could give the exact words of
the quotation.

CASTRO MUST
PAY UP AND
SOON. TOO

Washington. July s1-The state depart
ment has decided that II will take no fur
ther action In the matter OF the five un-
settled claims against Venezuela until the
full report by mail is received from Min
lister Russell at Cararas. The arrogant
manner in which President Castro has re-
fused the imperative demand OF this gov
ernment 20 submit the claims TO arbitra-
ton has not tended to improve the feeling
that exists In Washington against the
Venezuelan president
There is an intinnation I'm some quarters
that Castro has misinterpreted the atti-
tude OF the American delegates to The
Hague In the matter OF using force for
the collection of international debts and
that this Is the reason why he has refused
to arbitrate the cladms. In that event, II
is said. IL may be necessary FOR this gov
ernment to take some action which will
cause him to see the matter in a different
light
This government has been extremely
lenient with Castro and he apparently
has taken advantage of that fact Just
what course will be pursued in dealing
with him In this matter may fnally be re-
fered to congress. as that body is the war
making power.
