n. Great Lap Of tho United States.

When the map Of the United States
now in preparation by the Geological
Survey is completed 1t will be most
creditable specimen Of topographic art.
Congress last winter for the first time
distinctly recognized the survey, which
for some years has been in progress, as
the basis Of thi-.- Up, by making sepa-
rate appropriation Of 5000, 900 to carry
it on. These surveys, according to the
Washington corresponaence Of the
American Geographical Society, have
now been completed in Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island. and New Jersey, and they
are partly made in Pennsylvania, New
York, Connecticut Maine and New
Hampshire. The maps now in progress
or completed are on scale Of one mile
to the inch, and are engraved on cop
per. The expense Of the completed
surveys has been shared by the several
states and the United States. 1t was
recently announced that the topo-
graphic survey of Illinois and the sur
rounding states was about to begin.
The maps OF the central and southern
portions OF the country and also the Pa
cific slope Mll be on scale of two
miles TO the inch, while in the thinly
settled regions OF the Rocky Mountains,
the Great Basin, and the high Sierras
the scale is four miles to the inch.
When this great atlas can be- gathered
into volumes it will comprise 1900
sheets, and for the first time civil engi-
neers, students. and the general public
will be ablsto derive from these fine
specimens OF the map makers art fair

Norway. England, France, Spain,
Portugal, Morocco. the Azores,
Madeira, Canaries, the Antilles, in

mean. An attentive examination OF
their points of departure and arrival
has enabled the mapping out, approxi-
mately. of the courses which these
rescued foaters had taken. The work
on the chart presented by the prince
demonstrates the circular movement

is detached just off the entrance to the
English Channel, and bathes the

current appears to yield accidentally
to the powerful sweep OF the western
winds-for only n single foater has
been found in the Mediterranean.
After sweeping entirely und the
Canaries. the current travels toward
the west, to mingle a little later with
the equatorial current, and flows be-
side the Little Antilles until it effects
its junction with the Gulf Stream.

During the last six months of the

800, 900, an electric light plant at an
/ equal cost, sewers, water works,
/ churches, hotels, business houses,
/ private residences, etc, at total cost
! of almost 81 600, 900, together with
projected improvements on Nemadji
river, which when completed, viii
entitle this city to the name of the
/ Queen City of the West. The i'm
proyements on the Nemadji river are
/ to be of such size and commercial i'm

of docks and elevators to be put in on

No EIorc Eiccnsc Fees.

MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram,
March l0.-Tha Milwaukee brewers
have for the past four years advance
the license fees for such sal0onkeepers
as were not able to do it themselves.
Fully one-third of the saloonkeepers
were enabled in this way to go into
business. During the past year a
number of licenses have been revoked
and the brewers have lost the money
put up, or part of ii. At Il meeting
of the brewers association held recently
the matter was discussed. and without
any formal action being taken it was
agreed that the brewing companies
should advance no more license fees
1t is believed that if this decision is
lived up to the number of saloons in
Milwaukee viii he reduced - per cent.
