been issued by the department Of
the Interior as Bulletin $50 of the
Geological Survey The report is
sold by the superintendent of doe
uments, Washington, ID. c., at a
nominal cost. 1t also gives num-
erous little known facts relating
to the organization of the origi-
nal IL colonies and the states
after the Revolution. For example
how many know that the colony
OF Virginia once included the Bcr-
muda islands and also the country
westward of the Pacific ocean,
then called the "South sea so
christcned by Balboa in 1913, be-
cause at the place where he first
saw it the shore line runs nearly
east and weSt-or that the area
now called Vermont once belong
ed to New York and that Massa-
chusetts controlled the area now
included in MaineP
The reasons for the peculiar IT.
Irregularities and joys in some of
of the boundary lines are explain
ed. For example, the "nose" pro
jecting into Canada at the Lake of
the Woods, on the Minnesota
boundary, is due to the use of IN
accurate maps by the makers of
the treaties by which this area was
Incorporated as United States ter
ritory. The panhandle" at the
southeast corner of Missouri is.
said to be the result of efforts of
prominent property owner to have
his plantation included in the new
state.
The indefniteness of some of the
early boundary lines is illustrat-
ed by quotation from Rufus
Choate, who in the boundary dis
Ipute between Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island said before the Mas
sachusetts legislature: "The com
missioners might as well have de
cided that the line between the
states was bounded on the north
by bramble bush, on the south
by blue jay, on the west by a.
hive of bees in swarming time, and
on the east by five hundred foxes
with fire brands tied to their
tails"
The state of California has with
in its boundaries the highest and
the lowest points of dry land in
the United States proper, and AL
aska has the highest mountain
peak in the possessions of the
United States. Colorado is the
state having the greatest aver
age elevation; Delaware has the
least.
The bulletin describes the out
lying possessions of the United
States and tells when and how
they were acquired. Of the new
ly added possessions ALASKA
bought in 1867, not included) the
1000 or more islands comprising
the Philippine group, cover the
greatest area. The&irgm islands
are the most recent acquisition
and also the most costly. To OBJ
tain sovereignty over these is
lands, which have a combined land
area of a trife less than. 1873
square miles, the United States
paid nearly $500 an acre. For
Alaska, which has been an import
ant source of revenue, the United
States paid less than two cents an
acre.
