Paulina Johnson-l mn «mi uyd ewe:- SHADOW RIVER. ad mwbfiw,on fl» Tho Am in Dim“ So far as Canada invconcerned, the main contention has beta for on out- let to the sea. Indeed the Canadian Government olered on n‘ recent oe- asion to abandon the claim to the greater portion of the territory, in- cluding Dyea nnd Sknguny, provided it was conceded that Canada had the right. to Pyrunld Harbor, which would Joni it n 1113th into the Interior. This mount was declin- line." And this view has been sus- tained by the Supreme Court of the United States, which has declared that "bays wholly within the terriâ€" tory of a. nation, and not exceeding six miles at the month. are part of the territory of the nation in which they lie." In this connection it is only fair to point out that theLynn Canal has three ocean outlets caus- ed by the islands that lie at its mouth, and that though no single outlet aggregates six miles, they all combined make eight miles. It has, however. nlWays been judicially held that in suchacaseeech island is considered as part of the shore. has been much controversy. Many authorities might. be quoted to show that where the coast in identified with bays it is customary to draw an imaginary line from one promon- tory to the other. The law of some 0! the States of the neighboring Un- ion is specific on this point. Some of them enact that “when an inlet or arm of the see. dos not exceed two marine leaguee in width (six marine miles) between its headlande, a straight line from one headland to the other is equivalcnt to the shore 'Ocean to the Gulf of California. It soon became necessary {or Great Britain and Russia to fix the limits of their respective territories, which they attempted to do by: the Treaty oi 1825. This treaty is the basis of the present controversy. Its alleged inaccuracies and ambiguities have :kept the boundary question unsettled during more than three-qmrters of a century. In 1867 when the United States bought'Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000, the Russian side of the controversy passed over to the Republic, and the same year saw the birth of the Dominion of Canada, which eventually took over the Brit- ish side of the case. What Is the Coast 7 Many interesting points have been raised in connection with this partic- ular treaty, but the most important, so' far as the boundary is concerned, is “What constitutes the coast of the the ocean?" Under article III. the boundary line was to follow ‘the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the c0ast. By article IV. it was provided that wherever the mountains were more than ten leagues (30 miles) from the coast ‘the boundary shall follow the windâ€" 'ings of the coast, but never exceed- ing ten leagues therefrom Now sev- eral questions arise in this connec- tion. Does the coast constitute the outer fringe if islands or does it beâ€" gin with the mainland? Ii it is con- 1 fined to the mainland, does the coast ‘ follow all the bays and inlets to their head even when that would car- ry the boundary far beyond the range of mountains? 11 it does, same very remarkable results are obtained. The Lynn Canal, which at its widest outlet is only four miles and three-quarters wide, Would carry the boundary 70 miles inland. and then 30 miles beyond tidal Wat- ers. Another inlet, Glacier Bay, is only three and a half miles wide, and extend3'45 miles inland. The con- tention of the United States is that the boundary follows the shores 0! these inlets as though they were the shores of the ocean. The eflect of this contention of sustained wouldlbe to deny Canada any outlet to the Pacific along tour or five hundred miles of coast where it has been ape-'- cially agreed that there shall be free and ,uninterrupted trams to and from the interior. It was stipulated by Russia in the Treaty of 1825 that Russians should always have the privilege of resorting to British harâ€" bors in case of necessity, yet, under the reading of the United States au- thorities. there are to be no British harbors whatevu'.

Though the latter contains the initial letters of the {our point: of the compass, the u- planation usually given is only a unciml way of deriving the word. The four cardinal points of the comâ€" pass are North, East, South. West, not North, East, West South. "News" is nothing more than 3 plural formed from the adjective “new," treated as a substantive. The singular was once spelled NEWE and the plural was once spelled NEWI‘B. Each word was then regarded as ; dissyllable, and was so pronounced. Like the word “tidings" the word it seems that there were at least e dozen in every class who should have had the prim rather than the ones we picked out.

In a moment of ebsent-mlndedneas we consented to omciate as one of the judges at the carnival last week, says the editor of The Aylmer, Ont., Sun. At that time we thought we knew all about fancy and comic cos- tumeS, and that it wouldn' t take us two minutes to convince our conâ€" treres who should have the prizcs. Before the work had been in progress two minutes. we were perfectly will- ing for the other fellows to do the judging, while we acted as secretary. They would not have it that Way, and it took the three of us nearly two hours to award ten prizes. And It need hardly be said that the gen- eral use of briquettes for domestic fuel in a large, densely built. city. as well as for generating steam in a number of electric generating plants and factories, must have a decided and beneficial influence in reducing the smoke, which in many places has become a. persistent and oppressive nuisance. Berlin, although a busy manufacturing city, ranks as one of the cleanest and best kept in Europe. Like most other important German industries, the briquette manufacture is controlled by a. syndicate which includes among its members thirty- one firms and companies, or more than ninetenths of all the producers in Germany, and regulates the out- put and prices for each year. From the official report 0! the syndicate for 1901, which has recently appeared. it is learned that the total output during the year was 1,566,385 tons, to which is to be added the product of makers outside the syndicate, con- sumed at works, small retail sales, otc., making a. grand total of 1,â€" 643,416 tons. and convenient to handle; they light easily and quickly, and burn with a clear, intense flame; when made: of lignite or peat they burn ' practically without smoke and are ‘ withal the dieapest form of fuel for most pur- poses, says Frank H. Mason in Gas- sier's Magazine for January. Briquetteo form the principal do- mestic fuel of Berlin and other cities and districts in Germany; they are used for locomotive and other steam firing, and are emponed for heating in various processw of manufacture. For all these uses they have three tangible advantages: They are clenn ‘l'hou Cod 1mm Times Should Mr- .“ the Use of Briquottes. Among the several branches 0!

Cana- da is well prepared by nature to re- duce this question to her material advantage.
