MASON    AND    DIXON'S:   LINE
Geographical   Division  That   Has Figured Prominently., in the Hit-'
tory of the Country.
The historic Mason and Dl__w_'_
Line is a name that -was given t» the
southern boundary of' Pennsylvania
ahout 150 years ago. It colncUei
with 39-degrees 43 minutes and 2«.»
seconds north latitude.
Except for a distance of'22 miles
the line was marked out-by Charles
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, English
engineers.' They surveyed 16fpr a, distance of 258 miles -west from the Delaware river, between November * 15^
1763, and December 26, 1767. Eaeh
five-mile stone bears the coat of arras
of Maryland Cut on one side and that
of Pennsylvania on the opppslte.JThe
Intervening milestones have the letters "P" cuton one side and "M" on
the opposite.
JDuring the progress of the violent
debate in congress in 1820, which resulted in the historic measure known
as the Missouri Compromise,- on. thei
question of excluding slavery" from
Missouri, John.Randolph made use-of
the phrase- "Mason a!rid Dixon's Iiine"
as the dividing- line hetween slave ahd
free states, Maryland being a ".slave-
holding state and Pennsylvania a free
state. At that time the crossing of
this line meant freedom to the fugitive slave.
The application as made by Randolph, drew attention to Mason and
Dixon's Line all over the country a«
indicative of a bar to freedom.

First I answer that the curse of

ed'ueatlon. F»r .th* flnt ten years of
this,-the most sensitive ami deHcate,
the Most yllable llf* ia the world, I

jared child will make such jrogr-jia
that the <_l____t____« la ______ of graduation is sot likely to be noticeable;
hilt, even .if it should be a Tear or two
later, what raal dlffer.aee would it
make? Do we expect m, normal plant

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES
Speculations Which  Explain  Miracles
by Supposing Its Use* to Have
Been Known.
An electrical engineer of Munich
named Stadenmann* "makes an ingenious argument to prove that the
jews in the time of Moses had an
advanced knowledge of electricity,
using passages from the Bible to enforce his claim. "   .''   .
His theory pf the famed serpent *f
bronze is that it was a lightning conductor and he also says that.the temple at Jerusalem -was protected by
metal points _rconnected with" the
ground. *        . .-!.:.■       .*
The most Ingenious speculation Is In
regard to the ark of* the ■ covenant,
which was made of walls of wood covered on both sides with metalT:1* If this
5. ere connected with the inetal .teeth
on the temple roof It would form a
sort of Leyden jar charged with the
electricity of the atmosphere and
would-give a shock to any one t'ouefi-
ing it.
Mr. Stadenmann presumes that
Moses gained his knowledge of- electricity from the Egyptians. This ancient race certainly had a knowledge
of many branches of. science that It.
took the rest of the world thousands
of years to learn. But the only proof:
that they were, electrical engineers Is
one recently advanced by an archaeologist—-that they must have had electric lights because their underground
temples show ho traces of smoke.

The cost is so low as to make tlie use of all other
