Our Canadian Boundary Line.

The country which can boast not a
scientific frontier merely, but natural
one. has a huge advantage in time of
war. The sea takes the first place in
the category Of natural boundaries; a
big mountain range comes second and
q big river third.
An object lesson in the value Of all
three Is presented by India. Why is
India the Jewel Of Asia? Because It is
contained In a casket, the base Of
which is the ocean, the lid Of which Is
the biggest range in the world and the
key Of which is the river Indus.
1t is the most remarkable fact In the
history Of mankind that betwixt the
vast dominion OF Canada and her
neighbor, the mighty United States OF
America, the dividing line Is merely
imaginary.
There Is not fort or redoubt or gun
or military station along all that 1000
miles of frontier. That is the true
peace spirit That is an object lesson
to the world-two great nations dwell
Ing side by side under separate flags
and different laws and yet not in fear
and dread of each other.-London An

their money to the bankers, for 1t was
known that the latter had advanced
large sums to the king for public pur-

the king would not be able to pay the
money. To quen the panic a royal
proclamation was issued to the effect
that payments by the excheQuer to the
bankers would be made, as usual.
In 1871 there was another run on the
London banks, when Charles II. shut
up the excheQuer and refused to pay
the bankers either principal or inter

banks and their customers were

Progress OF Agricultural Educa-
ton.

During the past ten years the number
of students taking the full four year
course in agriculture in the American
agricultural colleges has increased from
about $500 to Ia.5oo, or 500 per cent.
The number Of white students registered
in short or special courses has doubled in
the same period, amounting now to
about 1900. Since 1910 the yearly
number of graduates in agriculture has
increased from 7o8 TO 1884, and the
number receiving advanced degrees from
"a to 1914. The aggregate revenues ofthe
land grant colleges have been tripled,
while those of the experiment stations
have more than tripled. The men on the
staffs of the experiment stations have in.
creased from about $50 to about 600,
aud the number of those doing no teach
ing from BIS to gas. An especially not
able development of the last decade has
been the growth of agricultural instruc.
ton in secondary schools In 1903 very
few secondary schools gave such instruc-
ton, while at present over 1000 do so.
Remarkable progress is also to be noted
In agricultural extension work, outside of
that carried on in farmers institutes.
There are now 1900 men employed as
state, district and county agents, and as
boys and girls club workers. The OPP
erations of the Smith-Lever Act will
greatly increase this class of work.

TAKING MOVIES AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SEA

Down at the bottom of Nassau har-
Dor, in the Bahamas, the camera man
for one of the big film producing com
panies is photographing scenes that
none but few divers has ever seen,
but which will soon be familiar to
movie audiences all over the world.
The wonderful coral reefs and luxur-
liant vegetation OF the semitropical
sea gardens may furnish the back
ground for submarine "thrillers,
beside which the popular cowboy
dramas will seem tame and uninter-
esting. Even without a specially
prepared and staged photoplay, these
bottom Of -the-sea films are Of absorb
ing interest. Curious tropical fishes,
swimming freely and without re-
straint; Bahama "black boys' div
ing for pennies; sunken relics Of sea
tragedies of long ago-these are
among the scenes that have already
been filmed'' Some of these first
movies ever made on the floor of the
ocean, together with the apparatus
used in making them, are shown in a
number of remarkable illustrations
appearing in the July Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
The harDOr or Nassau, new frOvl'
dence Island, was selected for the
first underwater motion-picture work
largely because of the remarkable
clarity of the water. The bottom, of
coral sand, is never muddy, but in
stead reflects the brilliant sunlight
producing conditions under which
photographs can be made with expos
ures almost as brief as in the open
air-a highly important requirement
for the movies. Photographs made at
s5 feet depth, of divers .plungine
swiftly through the water, require an
exposure of only 1-100 Of second on
bright day. Nor is it necessary tc
bring the camera up close to the oh.
ject photographed, even at such .
depth. One Of the Interesting objects
found by the camera when the first
pictures were made was the wreck Of
q ship that had been sunk so years
before.
This latest development in photog
raphy is further discussed by H. H
Windsor in an editorial, in which he
suggests the important and startling
usages which may result.
