MAP OF THE SOLAR SYsTEM.-We have had laid on
our table very handsome map of the solar system,
got up by Mr.. S. S. Colby Of Rochester. N. Y. The
whole plan of the ecipic is represented. with all the
planets, except LIE Verrers, lately discovered revov
ing round the sun their CENTRE thus giving their
relative size, distance from each other and from the
sun. We should think the map very useful in schools
especially those without orrery. 1t is of size
that each pupil could easily have one of their own,
and to be handled with convenience 1t can be seen
and purchased at the book store.
