WATCH MISSING FOR YEARS.
Timepiece Finally Found Ticking
Merrily Among Onions in
Family Ice Box.

New York The wife of Fire Chief
Samuel B. Taylor of Greenpont. l.. l..

had found his long-lost watch in a
bag OF onions inside her locked ice
box.
Former Mayor David L. Body of
Brooklyn gave the watch to Taylor,
who is his nephew. Taylor wore il
only on Sundays and holidays. The
rest of the time he kept it in a wooden
box with less valuable iewelry. Three
years ago box and contents were
taken mysteriously from his room.
Mrs. Taylor wanted onions for soup.
She went to her ice box, thrust her
hand in a bag of onions upon a shelf
and felt wooden box The watch
licked its appreciation at being liber-
ated from its cold birth. The Taylors
have moved since the watch disap-

Boundary Of Canada.

II was decreed by the convention
CT 1918 and the treaty of Washington
Of 1876 that the boundary between the
Upited States and Canada from the
Lake of the Woods to the Pacifc-a
distance OF 1870 miles-should fol-
low the forty-ninth parallel The sur,
yeyors who have lately completed the
location Of the boundary have found
that the astronomical parallel varies
from a direct circle around the earth,
and Prof. Klotz explains the curious
fact that the line. instead Of being
straight. is at one place 500 feet south
Of the direct circle and at the other
place 500 feet north. Il was decided
that the Astronomical psrallel-or line
through places where the pole is Al
degrees from the zenith-should be
the accepted boundary. This decision
was followed, but local attraction In
some places defects the plumb line
and therefore the zenith. and the as
Economical forty-ninth parallel proves
TO be q quite irregular line.

OF Miss Margaret Eckley, deaconness
