Newcastle.
The explanation may be found in
history At the time Delaware was
set out there were few points Of lati-
tude and longitude definitely estab-
lished in the colonies. SO that bound
aries were generally expressed not by
latitude and longitude. but by refer
ence to some known location. In the
deed by which Delaware was trans
ferred there was ceded all the land for
twelve miles round Newcastle, togeth-
err with certain other areas. In estab-
fishing the boundaries Of the present
state of Delaware this description was
taken literally. and part of a circle,
with the center at Newcastle. was sur
veyed upon twelve mile radius.
No other state has an arc In its
boundary line, but many of the coun-
ties Of Kentucky and Tennessee do.
Warren county, Tenn, is almost com
plete circle. In many instances coun-
ties formerly circular have been ex-
banded into irregular polygons.-Wil-

TO have been evenly divided for aequit-

! Washington, June 5.--The Republicans
in Congress so far as the House of Rep.

loss what counter demonstration to
