We give a similar description for the Stone-Čech compactification of the cartesian power of the semi-closed half-long line $\mathcal{L}_+$. As an application we show that any torsion subgroup of the group of all homeomorphisms of $\cj^n$ (resp. $\cl^n$) is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$ (resp. the semidirect product $(\bz/2\bz)^n\ltimes S_n$).8 pages 2 figuresGeneral Topology54D35, 55M35text
