Controversy Ended by
mason and Dixon" Line

As boundary division the Mason
and Dixon" line got its name from the
two men who surveyed and established
It, Charles Mason and John Dixon. IL
was run by agreement between the
Calverts, OF Maryland, and William
Penn to settle a controversy regard
Ing the boundary line between Penn
sylvania and Maryland. Mason and
Dixon came from England In 1894 for
that express purpose. They were both
men OF scientific attachments. Mason
at one time being assistant at the
royal observatory at Greenwich. They
ran the line with great care, cutting
a space eight feet wide through the
forest and setting up a stone at the
end Of each mile. Every fifth stone
was larger than the others and had
on the north side the arms Of William
Penn and on the south those of Lord
Baltimore The smaller, intermediate
stones had the letter "P" on the north
surface and an" on the south, for
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The line
has nothing to do with slavery, except
as 1t ultimately became the boundary
line between free states and the slave,
though that was not the thought at the
time When the line was established
slavery existed In Pennsylvania as It
did in the colonies, and was not abol-
ished in Pennsylvania until 1870 and
then only by law providing that all
colored persons thereafter born within
the state should be set free at the age
OF twenty-eight years.

Boosts Gc.fer Toward
Ccvsted "HoIe in One"

In the history Of the world it is
not likely that any game or pastine
has been given quite so much serious
attention as the game of golf. Half
of the men and women who have
played golf seem to have invented
some sort of gadget to improve the
possibility of making perfect score
and if all the inventions of this char
acter were placed end to end they
would probably reach to some place or
other and back again several times.
An enthusiastic Englishman points
with pride to a device which he has
invented to enable the player to de-
termine whether he and his club are
in exactly the proper position before
attempting to bang the ball. He has
a small stand containing an electric
light operated by dry battery and
this is placed with great care upon the
ground. In the head Of his club he
has a mirror inserted and when he
takes up his position in front of the
ball and holds his club in exactly cor
rect angle, the light from the lamp
will be reflected through the mirror
to the eye of the player. Then, if the
wind is just right and no one sneezes
just as the play is about to be made,
the player may make hole in one,
or he certainly will have the excuse
that he tried.

Butter and Cheese Not
the Only Milk Products

Though you might not think it, the
back collar button you are wearing,
and quite likely your shirt buttons,
were provided by COW which is still
placidIy chewing the cud in some
green field. Things are not what they
seem, for bone" studs, bone" but
tons, ivory" combs and brushes and
all kinds of small hard white fittings
have often nothing to do with either
bone or ivory.
They begin their existence as moth
ing more solid than milk. At certain
times of the year more milk is pro
duced on the farms than can be sold
for drinking purposes or made into
butter and cheese. But there are fac
tories ready to take any surplus.
Milk contains substance known as
casein, which can be separated from
it by chemical processes. By pressing
all moisture out Of casein and treat
ing it in various ingenious ways,
hard white solid is produced which
can be nodded readily into any de-
sired shape and has excellent wear
ing properties.
The liquid obtained when casein is
made can be turned into glue, paste
and size.

Odd Form of Currency
in Early Fur Trading

In the old days the Indian trappers
took their furs regularly to the near
est fort and were sometimes five
months in making the round trip.
says an article in the Wisconsin
State Journal. II was not uncommon,
in times when Independent traders,
employing runners OF the woods" en-
tered into competition with the fac
tors Of the Hudson's Bay company in
Canada, for an Indian to make a
Journey OF 90 miles. IL by doing so, he
could obtain an extra pound OF gun
powder.
Indians usually Travelled in cnmpa-
MES on their long canoe trips to bar
ter their seasons catch Of furs. When
they arrived at fort or post the fac
tor seldom allowed more than two of
his red customers to enter his store
room at one time. When an Indian
brought in his pelts he was given a
carved stick or other token termed
"Made-beaver," being equal in value
to prime beaver skin, so that this
"Made-beaver" was the standard OF
value. After the value Of furs had
been estimated and he held his Made
beaver" token, the Indian proceeded
to buy his goods for next season.

How Venice Procured
BODY of Patron Saint

For many years Venice was the cen
ter Of the most enlightened govern
ment and one Of the most powerful
states in Italy. Although her geogra-'
ply and her buildings have unique
fascination, her history is the most
romantic and picturesque aspect Of all.
The story OF st. Mark, her patron
saint, Is a daring and exciting one.
In the year S2T A. D. a Venetian ship
lying in the harbor of Alexandria
was commanded by three men. Rus
ticO OF Torcello, Buono Of MalamOcco
and one Stauracio, who were animated
by the felonious but pious purpose Of
depriying the city of its most valua-
bic possession-the body of ST. Mark.
After much argument and bribery
they induced the guardian Of the
tomb to become a party to their de-
sign. Thus st. Mark was brought
with great ceremony to Venice, there
to be given a magnificent reception
and to become her patron saint.

Slavery

The first slaves were prisoners of
war. When an army was defeated, such
of the defeated men as surrendered be-
longed to the conqueror by right of
conquest, and so also did the women
and children, and the entire wealth
of the subdued region. From this
custom arose the maxim, ITO the vic
tor belongs the spoils." So slavery
dates from the first battle after which
man awoke to the fact that he gained
nothing by putting those he had con-
quered to the sword, but might gain
BY making use of their services as
slaves. So far as we know slavery
began in the East, not in Africa The
first colored persons brought to Amer
lea, or rather to the West Indies,
were brought in October, 1862, by John
Hawkins. These were either bought
or forcibly seized and transported.
There were 300 in the first shipment
and at that time three ships were en-
ployed in the trade.-Literary Digest.

Evidently Thought He
Might Be Called Upon

This story about Joseph II. Choate,
says Sir James Crlchton-Browne, was
told him by Sir John Lavery, famous
painter:
During Choate's stay in London as
American ambassador he was invited
to the Savage club and agreed to come
on the express stipulation that he was
not to be called on to make a speech.
That was agreed to. However, when
speech time came, there were such
vociferous demands for Choate that
he was obliged to yield. delivering an
eloquent and witty Grafton.
1t so happened that at that time
Lavery was painting the portrait of
Choate's daughter, who gave him a
sitting the morning after the dinner.
He congratulated her warmly on her
fathers speech, on which she said:
ayes, I thought it would be good,
for he spent two whole days in pre-
pairing it."-Kansas City Star.

Fire in History

Benjamin Franklin deserves to be
called the father of American comfort.
The rocking chair is attributed to
him, and his was probably the first at
tempt ever made to construct a hot
air furnace. Certainly New England
had no household furnaces before
1885, and even the first successful
baseburner is dated about 1890. Prim-
tive man dug hearths in his cave
lodging. classical dwellings found
braziers adequate, the Middle ages
built fireplaces of a necessary enormity
for their spacious halls and II was
only little while ago, as time flies,
that anyone enjoyed the modern lux
ury of stove such as within one CEN
fury has become an american

More Than One Method

Can you tell when another person
is telling a lie?
There are people who claim to be
able to detect a liar at once, and a
machine has been invented which, by
measuring a mans blood pressure,
gives fairly clear Indication as to
whether he is telling the truth or not.
A non-mechanical test for liars has
been in use in the East for many
years. If crime has been committed
in a village, the villagers are drawn
up in a line. barefooted and Ques-
toned.
The questioner doesn't pay much at
tention to faces-he glances at the
toes of each individual If they are
''clawing down" into the ground. their
owner knows more about the affair
than he cares to admit.
This test, of course. only works
where the natives don't know the
signs for which the questioner is look
ing. And changes in blood pressure
aren't necessarily proof of guilt.
They denote fear or anxiety, which
may be felt by the innocent rs well as
by the guilty.-London Answers.

Most Southern City

Punta Arenas in south Chile Is
known as the most southern city in
the world because it is farther south
than any other settlement deserving
to be designated a city. 1t is situated
at about SO degrees latitude south.
Ushuaia, port and capital Of the Ar
gentine territory Of TERRA del Fuego,
is farther south, being about degrees
latitude, but it Is little more than &
village compared with Punta Arenas,
which has some 10000 inhabitants.
There are smaller settlements still
farther south in South America, but
they are not shown on the average

trOpolis. The group which was erect

IL Noon and IL Midnight

Twelve o'clock noon is almost uni
versally written IL M, the m. being
the abbreviation of meridian, the ac-
cusative of the Latin meridies, which
means midday. The proper designa-
ton of midnight is - p. m. But 1t
is often seen written IL n, for noon,
and - m, for midnight. These alb
breviatons are confusing and should
not be used. To avoid confusion, the
authorizations should be dispensed
with and the designation written 70
noon and 10 midnight.
