The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1911-11-03
SOUTHERN POINT OF NATION

The most southern point OF main
land territory in the United States is
on a sharp bend OF the Rio Grande
river about 20 miles southwest OF
Brownsville. The government ofictaI
survey shows that its latitude is 25
degrees and 9 minutes, which places II
below the most southern part of the
peninsula Of Florida, but not as far
south as Key West The spot is
marked by a group OF picturesque
Mexican ranch buildings with their
matched roofs. Growing upon the
land are groves Of wild palm trees
which lend to the beauty of the trop-
lcaI scene. The distance between
Brownsville and the mouth OF the Rio
Grande in a direct line is approximate
" p miles, but the river has so many
cuTTatures that its course between the
two points covers 10 miles. accord
ing to the survey Of the International
boundary commission, which is COM
posed Of the representatives Of the
United States and Mexican govern
ments. Before the river empties into
the gulf it makes a sharp bend TO
the south, and this rounded peninsula
forms the most southern mainland Of
the country. Most of the territory
between Brownsville and the Rio
Grande's mouth is covered by a dense
wilderness Of chaparraL The soil is
OF primitive richness, caused by the
periodical deposits of silt from the
e-~ra nae
accessibility of the little Mexican
ranch, which holds the distinction OF
marking the most southern spot. the
place has been visited by very few
Americans.

WHERE MANIT0U SPEAKS

A familiar landmark near Haydn,
Wis, is the old Council Elm" that
stands at a bend in the Manftowoc
river a short distance below Hayton.
The Pottawotomie Indians who once
occupied this region regarded the tree
with awe and Teneration, believing it
endowed with special attributes by
the Manitou or Great Spirit Under
its shade all important councils Of the
tribe took place. AS a meeting place
for representatives of the different
northwestern tribes who wished to en-
ter the Pottawotomie territory, It
must have witnessed some strange
scenes. Each spring and fall all the
Pottawotomie clans were wont to
gather at the spacious camping ground
near the tree. For days the beating
Of drums, the chanting of barbarie
songs and fantastic dances occupied
the attention of the sayages. Among
the many Indian legends concerning
the tree one of the few that has sur
viyed is to the effect that the Manit0u
speaks to his people in the rustic OF
its leaves and the sigh OF the winter
wind through the bare branches.

Pseudonyms Of Women Writers,

Pseudonyrns Of Women Writer'S.
The preference Of many women
writers for a male pseudonym is
doubtless a survival of the old super.
stition that to engage in the task Of
authorship was "unwomanly." The
Bronte sisters set the fashion in ap-
pearing as Currer, Acton and Ellis
Bell respectively. Their example was
followed by George Eliot. But George
is a name to which the distressed lady
novelist flies as to a city of refuge.
We have had George Fgerton, George
Fleming, George Pastor and host of
others. Then, too, there have been

FORTUNE IN A SMALL DISC

In the radium institutes like the
one recently opened in London there
is nothing more wonderful to the Wis
itor than the little square or circular
trays of metal containing specks OF
radium in shellac yarnish whose rays
hold such vast possibilities in the
future OF mankind's struggle against
disease. The disc illustrated con-
tains 10 milligrammes of radium,
worth &1.350. The trays when ap-
piled to the patient are covered with
metal caps or screens which lessen
or intensity the power OF the rays
according to the nature of the dis
ease. In the basement OF the London
institution is a strong room holding
the largest stock of radium In the

tiny black specks of radium are

that nowhere in Palestine, outside of
exclusively Jewish colonies, are the
leading business men Jews. There is
more successful business enterprises
among Hebrews of any one Of hun
dred streets in New York than in all
of Palestine.
One reason for the bitter complaints
of the Syrians at the presence of the
Jews is that the latter are not Deepen
dent upon their labers for livelt-
hood, and are also able to exist on
very low scale, and so are able greatly
to undersell the natives in their little
shops.
Ghettoes in Jerusalem.
The crowding of the colonists into
ghettoes outside of Jerusalem is an in
teresting example of the force OF
habit. There is no need here for over
crowded quarters; each family could
have its own vine and fig tree by ex-
tending the Jewish quarter a little
further outside the city. Generations
of congested living in the ghettoes OF
Europe, together with the necessity
for crowding close together for mutual
protection, are hard to escape. So the
Holy Land today contains state OF
affairs such as it never before VII
messed in its long history.
Nor are tie Jewish quarters OF the
cities of Palestine such as would In
cline one to optimism concerning
Jewish state. Tiberias, for example
is predomfnantly Jewish, yet it is one
of the dirtiest and least attractive
towns In all the land. This is not
racial fact. but rather an Illustration

iastically earnest, and the aged and
