ORIGIN OF THREE-MILE LIMIT
Nation Could Control Sea Along Its
Border as Far as Ancient
Cannon's Range.
The doctrine of “freedom of t.he
fiesta” is of comparatively recent date.
Spain and Portugal claimed to divide
jurisdiction over thorn through the fa
mous bull of Pope Alexander VI.
Venice claimed the Adriatic and Hol
land made large claims in the Indies.
It was, therefore, something of n
novelty when Grotius, the father of in
ternational law, announced that “The
boundless and rolling sea was ns com
inon to all people us the air, 1 ’ and that
”.Vo prince could challenge further Into
the sea than lie could Command with a
cannon,” says Frederick -11. 'Coudert
The doctrine, however, comported well
with the rise of the great nations In
Europe In tlio Seventeenth century
in Its negation of the claim that one
untion might exercise lordship over the
seas. I. y-
Thus, gradually, and after many
wars and much controversy between
the great maritime powers it became
finally generally recognized that the
limit of control of n nation over its
adjuccnt waters was the ancient lltplt
of the cannon range; to wit, throe
miles.—North American Review.

How Film Lightning la Made.
Probably most of our readers are
sufficiently sophisticated to realize
that, whim the movie man needs
Hash of ''lightning in his action, lie
does not have to wait for a thunder
storm to get it. Probably few of them,
however, realize how simple and cheap
the production of film lightning is. The
wooden stand used for tlife purpose
Is wired just like an arc lamp.
The two contact points nre on the
two upright arms—a single large
carbon constituting the electrical
member In the one case, and several
smaller ones In the- other. By pulling
ii cord the two contncts are brought
together and the circuit established;
and when they are, released and the
circuit broken, therp Is a momentary
Hushing arc. The Reading out of the
arc effect over the (several small car
bons of' the one contact is responsible
for much of the realism of tills brand
of lightning.—Scientific American.
How Regiment Got Its Name.
The .Origin of the famous Gordon
Highlanders, opo of Scotland’s crack
kilted regiments, was reculled reeent-
. ly by General Sir Irtn Hamilton In n
review at Aberdeen. It ’.fas nil due
,to the “loveliest womun in bonnle
Scotland,” Jean, duchess of Gordon,
, who at u tlniie of stress rode to the
county fairs lu nj Highland bonnet and
regimental jacket, and scores who
else would haVe spurned the king's
shilling received It In rapture from
her lips, At the review, Prfvnte WII-
Hum Simpson, eighty-seven years did,
was presentr-wearlng the Indian mu
tiny medal. To him General Hamilton
remarked: “I,ord Roberts always told;
'■■me thnt.the finest sight he ever saw in
bis life was the Highlanders advanc-
"h)g In line Ip front of Lucknow.”
