On the maps the ground is credited to Pennsyl , but rd- ing to these sume authorities, the claim is a shaaowy one, This triangular bit of territory marked — off in a curious way. The eastern boundary of Maryland ivas early determined, but” the southern boundary of Pennsy!vania was lon, ter of dispute. Finally Ma- son_and Dixon began their work at the eastern line of Maryland and proceeded westward, while the northern boundary of Delaware was declared to be a semi- cirele, whose cente New Castle. In surveying the semi-girele it was found that the ¢ mference did not touch the east- rn boundary of Maryland precisely at its junction with the Pennsylvania line, bat a few miles south of it, thus gi rse to the triangle. As Delawar Maryland had ~ both rejected it, it was presumed to belong to Penn- sylvani Just here that Pennsylvania had also 1 it by claiming no further south than Mason and Dixon’s hue. But, as a matter of fact, the stories about the old man who did not know m what state he was en- titled to vote, or the young lady who could not suy whether she was legally married or not, or the escaped convict who successfully detied arrest, do not amount to much. Every squere inch of property in No Man’s Land, so called, is recorded in Westchester, Pa, ‘This ought to settle the question as to which state the tongue of lana actually belongs.
