AN UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LINE.
Bow Borne Gnllelaaa Tiller at th Soli
Move It.
"You have heard of smuggling, I pre
sume," remarked a guest at one of the
hotels to a Cleveland Leader man.
"Well," he continued, "I ran against
the most stupendous scheme in that
line last summer I ever heard of. You
are doubtless aware that ordinary
everyday smugglers are content to
transport their goods over the line
from one country to another, the ob
ject being, of course, to evade the pay
ment of the customs duties. ' The peo
ple with whom I came in contact were
superior to such common methods,
which might do for low pirates and
outlawed brigands but not for a live,
wide-awake Yankee, and especially a
Canadian Yankee. They didn't move
the goods. They moved the line.
"Up in the farthest easttrly part of
Maine there comes a place where
Maine stops and New Brunswick be
gins. That is the boundary line be
tween the two countries. That is also
where the Canadian Yankees spoken
of have their homes. They are natur
ally given to farming, some of these
people, and even if McKinley did put a
duty on grain, poultry and other things
It didn't make any difference with
some of the sturdy yoeman who live
alongside the line. The publication of
the news of the passage of the tariff
bill didn't cause them a moment's un
easiness. 'They simply went on raising their
Canadian wheat and their Canadian
oats. At the same time they kept their
eyes on the boundary line what they
could see of it. The visible portion of
this remarkable boundary consisted of
upright iron posts, set at intervals of
one mile through the land. Not being
clinched on the other Ride of the earth,
these posts are' responsive to influence
placed on them on the Canadian side.
In other words, they can be taken up
and reset.
"About the time these upright and
honest farmers over the line have their
crops in condition to harvest a peculiar
thing happens. Some dark night a
half dozen of them go 'coon-hunting,
and when they return to thein fire
sides they are on American soil, they
and their grounds and with them the
crops. The boundary line has moved
and Is located a half-mile or so farther
toward the Arctic ocean. These guile
less tillers of the soil then dispose of
their products at United States prices,
and some time during the winter, in
some unknown manner, the boundary
lin takes a backward leap, leaving
them again on Canadian soil."

A Tatnlp-Hlasd Tlmeplee -That Walgb
Two antt a l.f HttillldS. 'a',
A ponderous watch of antique pat
tern displayed In the window of a tSan
rranciaco jewelry establishment on
Montgomery street, attracts the at
tention of the curious. Tltu tlmcprvce
is four inchs iu diumeter snd l tlo-
clarcd by the Itulletin to weigh two
and a half pounds. It csho loolts lil.e
old gold, but is a composition of base
metal. J ho chain attached to this
watch Is proportionately ponderous
and Wars a seal ring large enough for
the finger of a giant. The waUh was
matte by John Itiltleaon, of Ignition,
two centuries ago. It was, no doubt,
a marvel of work manalilp In those
day, and is stilt a timekeeper. It
probably coat about one hundred
pounds atcrling, or five hundred dol
lar in our money. The hand upon
It ample dial mark aecond ami flftha
of areoiitU, aa well a hour and min
ute. The dial bIko allows the phases
of the moon. Thin miiarkable relic U
not for aale. 1 1 la owned by a gentle
man of thia rily, who has a col I eel ion
of such cnrkoatlie.
The old watch has a hlatory of some
Interest. About two hundred yeura
ago an Rnglikli nra rsptaln obialurd

Smokeless Powder to r.e Used In Ger
many's K.iJ.lnry Evolution Thl Year.
This year the Germans are to hold
army maneuvers on a gigantic scale on
the French frontier and partly in the
provinces conquered from France. The
emperor has resolved to surpass all
former efforts of martial display and is
to have a host of potentates and princes
as onlookers. ISorao remarkable re
sults may be expected in the use of
smokeless powder both by the artillery
and tho infantry. The' diiiieulties in
the way of introducing this powder
have now been overcome very thor
oughly, and the struteiKt has to deal
with new conditions of warfare in very
long range of weapons and invisibility,
which were not thought of ten years
ago. The scicntiile. aspect of war is in
the ascendant far moro than has for
merly been the case, and, according to
the Kan Francisco Call, generals of the
Moltke type are more needed than
leaders of personal daring and dash,
whose impetuosity is of little avail in
modern tactics. The perplexity into
which smokeless powder may throw a
commander was illustrated recently
during artillery maneuvers at Alder
shot, in England. Sir Evelyn Wood,
who is in command at this military
camp, reported that one battery which
had been pounding away for some min
utes at a distanco of one mile and a
half was so invisible to the force which
it was attacking that for the sake of
practice orders were sent to fire a few
rounds of ordinary black powder in or
der that the posit io. mi;;ht be distin
guished and the ran;;e found. In ac
tual hostilities therj would be no such
accommodation. The death-dealing
guns would be fecrved with energy as
long as tho advantage of being unseen
and unoppot.ee! remained. This must
be regarded ss a striking proof that
the new powder of tho Ilrltlsh service,
cordite, Is nnsweriurr Its purpose well.
Cordite consist;! ol aliout fifty per cent,
of nitro-glycerinis and fifty per cent, of
nitro-cotton, which ere combined by a
solvent In small proportion, and cam
phor Is added to ro luee the sensitive
ness to explosive c tln. The materia)
Is a paat rather than a powder, and a
Is made by special machinery In the
form of thin cord j r threads, whicH
are afterward rolled Into cartridges of
any size and form. Cordite Is thus
equally suitable for rirall anns or ar
tillery. An initial velocity of two
thousand feet per iccond is obtained
and the prexmire within the gun cham
ber is rtaid to be Ichh than when black
powder Is used. The smokeless pow
der called bullstlte Is somewhat sim
ilar in eoniMsltion ami is oUo prepared
in any shape for unt by the soldier or
sportsman. One very distinctive ad
vantage this hniokflc mm ammunition of
the nitro-glyeerlne-eotton description
has over gunpowder lies in Impermea
bility to water.

NO LONGER IN DEBT.
Manitoba MennoniteB Even with
the Canadian Government. . -
The Uphill Work of the Sturdy Col.
onlsta In Paying for Their Homes
A Thrifty and Grow.
Ing Community.
The Mennonite farmers of Manitoba,
to whom the dominion government
loaned nearly one hundred thousand
dollars eighteen years ago to enable
them to immigrate to farming lands in
Manitoba, have repaid the debt with
interest, closing the account, and also
the unusual and romantic relations
that all these years have existed be
tween them and the government of
Canada. The story is told in the latest
report of A. M. Burgess, deputy minis
ter of the department of the interior,
and quoted by the New York Sun. (
Early in 1872, soon after the great
northwest had been transferred to Can
ada, the government began to look
abroad for settlers to turn the bound
ess prairie into fruitful fields. They
heard that in Russia was an Isolated
people, the German Mennonites, a race
of farmers who desired to find new
homes in the far west, where they and
their wives and children could live in
peace and quietness, which was no
longer assured to them by the govern
ment of the czar. Canada at once sent
an agent to Bussia to ask these people
to send representatives to Manitoba to
Inspect the country. So they sent to
Canada several persons in whom they
had confidence, and the result of their
report was that in 1874 many families
went to Manitoba and settled a few
miles southeast of Winnipeg. They
were supplied with money and needed
no assistance. Hundreds of their
friends, however, desired to follow
them, but were prevented by the fear
that they might become stranded in a
strange country before they were able
to support themselves. This fact was
published in a Canadian newspaper,
and the result was that about 150 well-to-do
farmers of German extraction,
who lived in the fmtnty of Watt-rloo,
Ont., formed themselves into the Wa
terloo society and told the government
that If It would advance the money re
quired to assist the Minnonites to Man
itoba they would pledge their farms
as security for the repayment of the
loan. The government found the se
curity exoellent and accordingly ad
vanced '.M,400 to the IminigranU with
the understanding that It would not
ask for any part of the principal or In
terest until the Mennonites who bor
rowed the money had tieen able to get
a ftilr start In their new home, Ml
the government bud to do wait to ad
vance the money. The business tie.
tail were looked after by the Waterloo
society. IU secretary saw to the dis
tribution of the loan, it collection and
IU repayment to Die government.
