Marking Our Boundaries

From Popular Mechanics.
Two of the biggest jobs of surveying
ever attempted are the marking of the
boundry between Alaska and Canada,
which has just been completed, and the
marking of the southern boundry of
Canada, which is now in progress. Both
surveys are of a difficult nature, and the
Alaskan boundry particularly so. because
OF the mountainous and, in parts, in
accessible character OF the regions ira
versed.
The most difficult part of the line was
that starting at Mount st. Elias, on the
southern shore of the peninsula OF
Alaska, and running along So peaks of
the coast range to the head of the Port
land channel, a distance of about 700
miles. Much of this section of the boun-
dry was inaccessible, and could only be
reached where it was crossed by inlets
connecting with the sound that parallels
the coast, From these points the peaks
that mark the boundry. as well as the
topography along the line. were located
and mapped by triangulaton and photo
surveying methods.
The line running north from Mt. st.
Elias to tn Artic ocean was not so
difficult of access, although 1t lies over
glaciers and some of the highest noun
tains in the world. but the work OF
marking was In many ways like arctic
exploration than an ordinary job of sur
veying This line runs due north and
south. following the 141st meridian
longitude west from Greenwich, and
is now marked by 1888 stone monuments
set about three miles apart Everything
had to be packed from the base of sup
plies, and for this purpose 200 American
and Canadian horses were used The
total length of the Alaskan boundry is
1907 miles and the cost of surveying was
s1.500,00O.

A Strange Region of the Sea
IN the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
In the midst of the Atlantic ocean,
about where the 25th meridian west from
Greenwich crosses the equator there lies
a region of mystery. 1t is on the line
that ships take on the route from Ma
deira to Brazil. Only within the last
century has it been sounded and it's
strange phenomena reported by mari
ners
One investigator declared that he saw
the sea about half a mile from his
vessel suddenly disturbed. For about two
minutes it boiled up violently as from
a subterranean spring. Throughout the
day there We're observed great patches
Of discolored water, which had exactly
the appearance of extensive shoals.
These and similar phenomena are fire.
quently observed in this part of the ocean.
Often a ship reports that she has ex-
perienced a violent shock. similar to that
which is felt when a rock is struck
Sometimes a great rumbling is heard,
like that of a heavy chain running
through the hawse pipes, and the YES
sci quiyers like a leaf in the wind. At
another time, in smooth water, a vessel
has been known to heel over suddenly as
If she had run on a sand bank.
Before this part of the ocean was as
thoroughly sounded and surveyed as it
is now, these phenomena We're attributed
to the presence of unmarked sand
banks and rock shoals, and the old charts
were marked accordingly. But it must
have astonished the mtriner somewhat
to find that he got no soundings with
his deep sea lead Immediately after eX-
perencing one of these shocks.
1t is now believed that submarine earth
quakes are the true cause of these con-
vulsions.
