BOUNDARY LINES.
A Clearing s75 Miles Long Separates
Alaska From Canada.

Boundaries between countries, states
and counties and between cities ana
the country surrounding them are
marked In various ways. Sometimes
it Is by a stone post or monument; OF
ten county IL separated from an al
joining county by public road, when
is surveyed purposely on the county
line.
In some OF the southern states coun-
ties which allow cattle to run at large
are often separated from those which
do not by fence. The boundary be-
tween Alaska and Canada Is marked
by clear strip in the woods S75 miles
long.
When highway passes from one
country into another the traveller Is
made aware of the fact by the customs
officials. Sometimes also, as i'll France,
q tax Is collected on country produce
entering the cities. But in thinly set.
tied sections Of the United States tue
boundaries between counties and even
between states are not always marked
and, though known to the inhabitants
are often not to be recognized by a
stranger
One notable instance of marked
boundary is the great wall Of China
which extends for distance of more
than 800 miles along what was once
the frontier of that empire. -Christiar

STORY OF THE POTATO.
"A a Food Il Was at First Used Only
For Pics and Cattle.

For Pigs and Cattle.
The question Of where the potato is
indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered
1t seems sure, however, that the potato
Is native of the mountainous districts
of tropical and subtropical America,
from Chile to Mexico and even as far
north as the southern part Of Colorado.
Data concerning the known use of the
potato for food are not very definite.
1t probably was first taken to Europe
from Peru by Spaniards early in the
sixteenth century and spread from
Spain to Holland, Burgundy and Italy,
though cultivated only as curiosity In
a few gardens and little known or
thought Of. In THE Complete Gar
dener,' published in 1719, 1t is not men,
toned.
As food 1t was first used for pigs
and cattle. Then, on account Of Its
great yield, it was suggested that 1t
might be useful for the poor and pre-
vent famine, due to the failure Of the
grain crops.
As early as 1868 the Royal Society OF
London adopted measures to encourage
its cultivation in England. 1t spread
quickly In Ireland. but not until the
middle of the eighteenth century did
it acquire any real Importance on the
continent of Europe. or Its first cult.

Hoaxsd the Naturalist.

One of the most remarkable books
ever published Is the photographic
Wirceburgensls," written by Wurz
burg naturalist named Behringer In
1926. Probably very few copies are In
existence, as the author destroyed all
that he could get possession Of soon
after the book appeared. He had been
victimized by some practical jokers,
who had made a great variety Of arti-
fetal fossils" and hidden them In a
quarry, to which they then enticed the
professor. Behringer was overjoyed
by so rich find and had no suspicion
of the trick, although many of the fos-
siIs were of very grotesque charac-
ter. He took his treasures home, made
elaborate dra wings Of them and wrote
minute description Of each. as well
as an exhaustive commentary filled
with ingenious and plausible theories
When he had published the book the
| jokers confessed, and then, of course
the professor did his utmost to sup
press the work.
