Drama, there is immediate work to
be done, and few clouds lowering
over some distant mountain, instead
of lending beauty to the view, may
send the poor surveyor behind some
sheltering rock to wait, shivering
with cold, until morning will allow
him to take up his stand by the
theodolite and complete his observa-
tions.
On the 141st meridian an astro-
nomic longitude was determined at

tive governments. The commissioners meet
sometimes in Washington and sometimes in Otta-
wa, and either accept or reject the work done by
the field parties. Their decision is final
The magnitude of the task is little understood
except by those closely connected with the work.
There 600 miles of boundary from Portland
canal up the coast to Mount st. Elias where 1t
hooks around on to the 141st meridian and shoots
for another 600 miles straight north to the Arctic
ocean.
All the land lying along the boundary must be
mapped accurate scale, and a strip OF top
ography four miles wide must be run the entire
length of the 14lst meridian; peaks which can
not be climbed, or rather those which would take
too long and would be too expensive to scale,
must be determined geodetically; vistas 20 feet
in width must be cut through the timbered val.
leys, and monuments must be set up on the
routes of travel and wherever possible need for
them may occur.
The field season is short, lasting only from
June to the latter part of September, and along
the coast operations are constantly hindered by
rain, snow, and fog. Rivers abounding in rapids
and quicksands have to be crossed or ascend
ed. A man who has never had the loop of track
ing line around his shoulders little knows the
dead monotony of lining a boat up swift Alas
kan river with nothing to think Of but the dull
ache in his tired muscles and the sharp digging
of the rope into his chafed shoulders.
Vast glaciers are TO be crossed, Win tnelr uan-
ger of hidden crevasses. More than one surveyor
has had the snow sink suddenly beneath his feet,
and has been saved only by the rope tying him
to his comrades. Several have been saved by
throwing their alpine stocks orosswise of the gap
and one. while crossing the Yakutat glacier with
a pack on his back, caught only on his extended
arms High mountains must be climbed; II they
are not the boundary peaks themselves, they must
be high enough to see the boundary peaks over
the intervening suBmts.
And these climbs not the organized expedi'
tions Of an Alpine club, with but one mountain to
conquer, but daily routine. Heavy theodoltes and
topographic cameras must be carried, and instead

run into the mountains fringing the Pac1hc coast.
Topography trianguation, line-cutting, and monu-
menting are now being carried along the located
line.
For the present the line will not run to Mount ST.
Elias 1t would be possible, but not practical to
run it across the intervening 80 miles of snow and
ice and towering mountain ranges. To complete
this part of the boundary the use of an arship Is
contemplated.
In the interior the difficulties of the work
changed. Long wooded stretches, interrupted by
barren ridges take the place of glaciers and crag
gy mountains. In place of snow fields there are
heartbreaking "nigger-head" swamps to be crossed
where the pack-horse becomes mired and exhaust
ed and the temper of man is tried to the breaking
point. Supplies have to be ferried across the riv
ers on log rafts while the horses swim.
There is no longer the guiding line of the coast
to follow and the surveyor must rely on his in
snct for topography and on woodcraft to pilot him
through an unbroken wilderness.
The inconvenience of transportation have to be
overcome, and year by year they are becoming
the work carries each year farther

of 1909 the American party of 30 men will have to

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Every
selfrespecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent Injustice at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six. when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
