BOUNDARY LINES.
A Clearing 875 Miles Long Separates
Alaska From Canada.

- ofO LOi9 OSPN' oNSS
Alaska From Canada.
Boundaries between countries, states
and counties and between cities and
the country surrounding them are
marked in various ways. Sometimes
it is by a stone post or monument; of
ten a county is separated from an ad
joining county by public road, which
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 n fence. The boundary be
tween Alaska and Canada is marked
by clear strip In the woods S75 miles
long.
When a highway passes from one
country into another the traveller IS
made aware of the fact by the customs
officials Sometimes also, as in France,
a tax is coHected on country produce
entering the cities. But in thinly set
tied sections of the United States the
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
I stranger.
One notable instance of a marked
boundary is the great wall of China
which extends for distance of paore
than 1900 miles along what was once
the frontier of that empire. Christian

Public Streets.

Under the Roman-Dutch civil law
the title to a public street was in the
sovereign, and this rule obtained in
New Netherlands until the country
now comprising New York city was
taken over by the English in 1864.
The English common law. on the
other hand, left the title to a public
street in the owner of the adjacent
land, with only "the right Of passage
