Hearings In a dozen cities of both
countries by tlie United States ano
Canadian Joint commission to consldei
connecting the St. Lawrence river and
the Grout Lakes by a canal system
awukened a new Interest In the nearly
4,000 miles of border that separates
this country from Its neighbor to the
north.
The boundary between the two great
English-speaking countries of America,
giving them joint ownership of some
of the greatest lakes In the world, as
well as a river of prime Importance,
holds possibilities for development
overlooked by many of the citizen-
stockholders on both sides of the line.
The single scheme now under discus-
sion for tiie construction of canals to
handle ocean-going ships foreshadows
a work that would rival In magnitude
and Importance even the epoch-making
engineering feats at Panama. With
huge canals connecting the waters of
the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence,
ships capable of negotiating any
weather could sail with ttie ore, coul
and grain of the western United
States and Canada, direr.iy to uny
port of the Seven sens.

stormy Incidents In which the boun-
dary Ims figured. Known In recent
years as "the border without forts,'

line of amity and friendship, it is per-

restful to read of a place where breez-
es blow cool, hut seldom too hot or
too cold, and the scenery is magic;
where people are peaceable and hon-
est, and there are no prolileers; where
the women are pretty, charming and
easily entertained, and life moves
along with u song!
There Is „uch a spot. Ten hours
out from continental Spain on a fairly
fast and <)tille comfortable steamer
lies a little archlpelago-*-the Balearic
islands, whose largest Island, called
Mallorca, or Majorca, is perhaps Ihe
most enchanting corner, one of the
most Interesting and pleasing, as well
us one of the most forgotten islands
of the Mediterranean. The following
account of Its attractions is summa-
rized from tiie description of an eye-
witness, Col. Ernesto de March y de
Gurciu Mesa, Spanish army.
A great painter and writer called
It the "Island of culm," for there ev-
eryone moves, rests, talks, walks and
conducts Ills courtships as If tiie day
had 48 hours, tiie mile about 16,000
feet, and the span of human life 700
years; so little haste do they make in
living and enjoying life. One Mal-
lorquin of poble family is said to have
waited 45 years in determining to lead
Ids sweetheart to tiie altar, with no
protest from her, and without having
been slain in exasperation by ills moth-
er-in-law.
Last summer during the latter part
of July when the thermometer in
Washington and New York stood
around 00 degrees in the shade, and
in Madrid run to blood heat, the
breezes fanned these Island folk to
the tune of 7(5 degrees.

reared no pyramids. Their tombs
were great structures mainly under-
ground. These huge homes of the
dead were filled with ull sorts of ob-
jects thought necessary or useful for
the deceased king In the underworld.
"Around a monarch were burled his
slaves, who were doubtless slain at
Ids grave that they might accompany
and serve him In the afterlife. Tiie
chambers of his tomb were stored with
stacks of great vases of wine and corn,

unpleasant Incidents, twice the coun-
tries were on the verge of war, and for
well over a hundred years after the
close of the Revolutionary war diplo-
mats, commissioners, and even neutrnl
kings and emperors acting as arbitra-
tors were kept busy trying to straight-
en out the many snarls Into which n
border line can become tangled.
There are about 120 miles of railroads
on tiie Island, and a system of locnl
roads which permit of u traveler's ve-

Much n( the trouble In regard to the capable of work, sober and economl-

the geography of the country on tiie throughout centuries of uninterrupted

St. Croix river which the earliest
treaty stated should form the eastern
line of Maine at the very starting point
of the International boundary was not
satisfactorily Identified at first, and
this caused friction for some years.
A second geographical error—the as-
sumption that the Lake of the Woods
drained Into Lake Superior—Is respon-
sible for the rather Indefinite boun-
dary of small lakes and brooks be-
tween the two large lakes. The be-
lief that the Mississippi river had Its
source In Canada, and field notes In
accordance with that belief, brought
about the existence of a tract of bind

KIPLING SETTING NOW
NEWS BACKGROUND
The Simla Hills of Kipling fame and
the Interesting Punjab country again
were brought to public attention this
year by reports of riots among nations
who had been aroused by the rumored
destruction of the golden temple ot
Amritsar, a princlpul city of this pro
vlnce.
Punjab Is a Persian word meaning
“five waters," and refers to an area
In India, about the size of Oregon be-
tween the Jhelam and the Sutlej,
drained by three Intermediate streams.
These rivers empty Into the Indus,
which forms the western boundary of
the state.
Situated at the northwest gateway
of India, the Punjab has for ages been
the Belgium of most of the military
expeditions from the west and the trail
of many migrations. For this reason
Its peoples — Mohammednns, Sikhs,
Hindu Jats. Kashmiris and Rajputs,
all belonging to the tall, fair Indo-
Aryan stock—are not so sluggish In
temperament and ways of living ns
those In other parts of the conntr.v.
and many of them manifest n martial
spirit upon small provocation,
land counted them among her most
valued soldiers on the western front.
The vast plain of the Punjab Is
about one thousand feet above sea
level and on the north runs Into the
"Abode of Snow.” the Himalaya moun
tains. At the southwestern end of
the watershed stands Simla, and from
for so long, been under strict repres-
sion. He calls Mallorca “the loveliest
cage on the planet, Its wonderful. In-

And an all-important feature—the

EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE
OF HISTORY
Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an Increasing
knowledge of the early life story of
the human race. In the wonderful
record of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization of the
great pre-classlcal nations, there Is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells of the resurrection of an-
cient Egypt A communication to the
National Geographic society by James
Balkle, says:
“The science of Egyptology, which
Is slowly and patiently reconstructing
for us the ordered history of the 3.000
years before Christ, enabling us to see
the types of men. the manner of life,
the forms of government, the religious
customs and beliefs of period after
period, from the very dawn of Egypt-
ian nationality. Is specifically a growth
of our own time.
“We owe tiie framework into which
we try to fit the facts of Egyptian his-

scattered fragments of whose history
of Egypt, dating from the reign of
Ptolemy Philadelphia. In the third cen-
tury R. C., have come down to us In
the works of various ancient authors.
He recognized 30 dynasties of Egyp-
tian monarchs. and he left lists of the
names of the kings In each of these
with pottery dishes, splendid copper
bowls, curved Ivory boxes, golden but-
tons, palettes for grinding face paint,
chairs and couches of elaborate de-
sign and decoration, ivory and pottery
figurines, and plaques bearing records
of the king’s valor in war or his piety
in the founding of temples.
"Here and there in tills wreckage
of Immemorial splendors, a little touch
helps us to realize that these dim his-
toric figures were real men, who loved
and sorrowed as men do still. Close
to Mena’s second tomb at Abydos lies
that of his daughter Bener-ab—‘Sweet-
heart,’ as he called her—to suggest
how love and death went side by side
then as now.
“The furniture of tlie tombs reveals
an amazing proficiency In the arts and
crafts. Ebony chests Inlaid with Ivory;
stools with Ivory feet carved in the
shape of bull’s legs; vessels cut and
ground to translucent thinness, not
only out of soft alabaster, but nut of
an Iron-hard stone like diorite; finely
wrought copper ewers, all tell us that
the Egyptian of the earliest dynastic
period was no rude barbarian, but n
highly civilized craftsman. Perhaps
the daintiest and most convincing evi-
dence of bis skill Is givpn by the brace-
lets which were found encircling the
skeleton arm of the queen of King Zer,
of the first dynasty.”
THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING
The passing of the fire horses from
Manhattan island and the Installation
of a high-pressure water system In
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
gine are further steps in the stage of
progress from the romantic days of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out In red shirts
nnd glazed caps nnd carried torches
In the front of a procession, or formed
part of the bodyguard of the gallant
old tub ns it paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then pnsslon for fire
fighting ran to a high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits of
particular engines. Todny the throbs
of a motor-driven engine are taking
the place of those heart throbs. The
horses thnt might hnve clattered from
their stalls, glided benenth their har-
ness, and raced gloriously through the
