The Mapping of the World.

The series Of articles which MIR. ]. G. BAR
THoLoMEw, the British geographer, has
begun to publish on the general mapping Of
the whole land surface Of the world is likely
to be OF unusual interest to all lovers OF
good maps. Even those who are constantly
handling maps often do not know how trust
worthy their maps are, whether, for instance,
they arc based on exact trigonometrical
work, or are the result OF general but not
detailed surveys, or are merely compiled
from numerous itineraries and observations.
The purpose OF Mr.. BARTHOLOMEW Is to In
dictate tho best maps now available for every
part OF the world. whether derived from
exact surveys. travellers sketches. or other
sources Of information.
This geographer's first paper, published In
the Scottish Geographical Magazine, Is &C.
companed by q remarkably instructive and
entertaining map, colored to show approx
mately the geographical value OF the best
maps Of all the countries Of the world. Any
one can see at glance that over only very
small part OF the earth's surface have the
exact Typographical surveys been carried out
which form the basis Of our nearest approach
to perfect maps. In fact, only about one
seventh OF the land surface OF the globe has
been surveyed in detail, and the maps OF all
the rest of the world fall far short of the
highest standard Of excellence.
These exact trlgonometrlcal maps, where
ever made may be called the mother maps,
because 1t Is from them that smaller maps
are produced. They are the great desidera-
tum OF the scientific map maker. and the
fact that the maps Of Europe and India are
the best in the world is because they have
been AUTOMATICALLY surveyed No map
is superior to the great cadastral survey OF
India, and the whole OF Europe has been
covered with detailed Typographical surveys
except the eastern two-thirds OF Russia. the
Balkan States, Turkey. and parts OF the
scandinavian and Iberian peninsulas.
Only comparatively small part of our
own country can yet boast OF perfected sur
veys. They cover our most thickly populat-
cd regions only In Massachusetts Rhode
Island. New Jersey, small part OF New
York, and the southern part OF Pennsylva-
mia, and then stretch away southwest. within
narrow limits, following the Appalachian
region to the latitude Of Charleston. The
most of Missouri has been trgonOmetrically
surveyed. and the work Is complete In con-
siderable districts Of Illinois. Iowa, Texas.
and California; but by far the largest area
in our country yet covered by these surveys
is the mining and mountainous regions of
the West between 1922 and 1902 west longi-
tude and extending from the Missouri River
near Helena, Mont, to and including the
northern portion of Arizona, with it's great
est width along the fortleth parallel Every
year the National Geological Survey. CO.
operating with various State surveys Is In
Oreaslng the area covered by detailed tOpO.

Mr.. GROVER CLEvEIAND's letter read at
the Tsmmany Fourth OF July celebration con-
tains his fsvorite adjective in a passage CON
secrated" to ono OF his favorite subjects, the
evil effects Of partisanshlp:
"our fathers in establishing new government upon
the will Of the people and oonsecrRsd to their care and
Just protection, could not prescribe limitation which
would deny to political parties its conduct and admin
isration. The opportunities and temptation thus nsces
sAry presented to partisanShip have brought us to
time when party control is far too arrogant and bitter
and when In public places the true interests OF the
country are too lightly considered"
Apparently Mr.. CLEVELAND regrets that our
fathers could not prescribe limitations which
would deny TO political parties the conduct and
administration OF the Government.
The Democrats have seen with disgust the
injury which was done to the discipline and
organization OF their party by the hulkinR
MuEwumpery which Mr.. CLEVELAND imag-
ined to be craftsmanship. A more rigid and
not slackened party discipline, a hotter and
more enthusiastic partisanship are desired
and admired by them. When they hear Gov
ernor HILL saying at Indianapolis, =" believe
In vigorous partisanship and manly warfare"
their hearts are stirred.

No Time for Nonsense.

The voice Of Major CHARLES Hill JONES'
the handsome and hustling tariff reform
puller-in. Is sill heard at st. Louis and else
where on the Missouri circuit. The tariff
reform picnic season is In bloom in Missouri
and impassioned eloquence tempered with
picnic lemonade prevails in that State.
We advise Major JONES and the lemon
ade orators and all the tariff-reforming en-
thusiasts between Corsicana and Bedlam to
hold in their eloquence for a season. The
Democratic party has more serious duty
than wrangling about theories and inviting
division and defeat. While the very SUBJ
stance and life Of free institutions are at
tackled by the Republican party, led by a
man Of brains and high courage who cares
as little for consequences as he does for
precedents, It Is not for the Democracy to
play debating society.
Whoever counsels the Democratic party
to fritter away It's energies in barren discus
sions or weaken and divide its strength In
controversies that lead to nowhere, is Its
enemy, and In the present state OF AFFAIRS
the enemy Of his country.

graphical maps and, when this great work
this big map smaller maps for popular use
that will be as accurate as those OF Ger
many and Great Britain.
We shall be dependent, however. for a
long time to come, upon maps giving many
Typographical features as the result OF gen.
eral but not detailed surveys, which are fairly
trustworthy throughout, but cannot be
made the basis OF the most perfect specl-
mems OF map making. South America is the
only continent that cannot show single
square mile OF detailed Typographical sur
veys, except on the site of It's large towns.
But South America has the advantage OF
our continent In this respect that there ls no
part u IL that can now be said to be wholly
unknown, though large areas are skotched
on Tho maps from single itineraries or re-
ports; while in North America the interior
Of the northern part OF Labrador, and OF all
the continental islands north OF us, cannot
bt mapped from actual surveys or observa-
lions. South OF the Rio Grande River In the
Western Hemisphere there are as yet no
mans worthy Of the name Of Typographical
maps except those OF the Argentine Repub-
lie, on which much though by no means all
of the more important Typographical detail
is already shown.
Even Africa shows little areas OF detailed
Typographical surveying, as In Algeria and
in Egypt from Cairo to the sea; but by far
the larger part Of Africa Is represented on
the maps, like large part OF inner Brazil,
only approximately, and the continent is
dotted all over from the middle OF the Sahara
to the regions just north OF the Zambesi
River with areas that have not been explored
at all, and maps Of which are merely n.y.
pothetical. This can hardly be said Of any
part OF tho vast continent Of Asia, OF which
the most imperfectly known areas have been
revealed to some extent at least through the
itineraries Of one or more travellers. The
Chinese are excellent geographers, and their
country, through their own efforts and those
Of foreign topographers, has been mapped
with fair degree Of reliability, while Rus
sian Central Asia, where within the past
twelve years brilliant corps Of Russian ex-
plorers have been at work, Is to-day far
more accurately mapped than any part Of
Siberia east OF the Obi River.
Systems OF exact trigonometrical survey
ing were not known until about 100 years ago.
Since then the various Governments, stimu-
lated as most OF them have been by the need
Of making accurate Typographical maps for
military purposes, have been pushing for
ward their detailed surveys. But they have
covered as yet only one-seventh OF the
worlds land surface, and many Of the less
useful parts OF the world may not be de-
lineated on the maps with the greatest at
tainable accuracy for centuries to come.

The States and the Stars.

During nearly twelve months we shall
have forty-four States In the Union and
forty-three stars on the flag. When Con-
gress comes together again this week the
differences between the Senate and the
House over the admission Of Wyoming will
be adjusted, and that Territory will become
the forty-fourth State. But its star cannot
go upon the flag for nearly year. In conse-
quence Of this statute:
"on the admission Of q new State into the Union
shall be added to the union Of the nag, and such
addition shall take effect the fourth day Of July
then next succeeding such admission"
That is why we shall have forty-four States
and forty-three stars; and should New
Mexico and Arizona be admitted before the
4th OF July next, we should have for a
time forty-six States and forty-three stars,
just as on the Cd of July, 1890. we had forty
two States and thrty-eight stars. and on
the day following forty-three States and
thirty-cight stars.
Most ingeniously infellcitous must have
seemed to the War and Navy Departments
the suggestion made by President HARRISON
on this subject to Delegate DUBOIS. He as
the representative OF Idaho, had called on
the President to ask, as favor to its peo-
pie, that the act Of admission should be
signed on the 4th OF July, just as the
four States previously admitted had met
in convention on the 4th Of July, 1889, to
accept admission. This was all that he and
they wanted, and everybody would have
been delighted had the request been granted
in its exact terms. But Mr.. HARRISON
thought it much better to propose signing
n bn In hat
1daho's star might go at once upon the flag
under the statute just cited, and this sug-
gestion was accordingly accepted.
AS consequence OF this gratuitous adj
vice all the public flags prepared for the
use Of the army and the navy and for the
public buildings. containing forty-two stars
were made obsolete on the very day when
for the first time they could have been prop
erly used. The same Is true of the multi
tudes OF flags to be carried by the militia
and other organizations, and those owned
by private citizens. Had Mr.. HARRISON
been content to do what Idaho asked him
to do, all these flags would now have cor
rect record for one year. But as 1t Is. most
Of them cannot even be patched to advan-
tage, because while forty-two stars admit Of
symmetrical arrangement, forty-three Is o
much harder number to deal with neatly.
The army and navy will make the best
OF the flags they have, so as not to lose
the supply which had been provided for the
present year. Meanwhile they are studying
what to do for the flags which will be due
on the 4th of July, 1891. Unless some other
Territory should be admitted. the number
OF stars will then be forty-four. The ar
rangement which Is now most In favor Is
that Of eight stars in the upper and the lower
row and seven in the four rows between.

A JULY SPECTACLE IN THE SKI.

Five Of the earth's sister planets, Venus, Sat-
urn, Uranus, Mars, and Jupiter, are now visi-
BILE In the evening. They are strung through
the sky from westto east, Venus setting Just as
Jupiter is rising, and the others being scattered
along the arch OF the Zodiac between the two
which terminate the line, 1t is ut present a
doubtful contest between Jupiter and Venus
for the first place In brilliancy. but In few
weeks Venus. which is approaching the earth
and consequently growing brighter, will have
become incontestably brighter than her gigan-
tic rival.
Saturn is only some twelve or fifteen degrees
from Venus near the star ReRulus in Leo. and
is not conspicuous phenomenon in the pres
ence OF his brilllont sister.
Uranus Is quite near the bright star Spioa in
Virgo and although visible to sharp eye
without optical aid, should be looked for with
tho help OF an opera glass and planisphere or
star map. on which It's position among tho
neighboring small stars has been jotted down.
Mars Is In the singular consolidation OF
Scorpio. whose long winding assemblage OF
stars may be seen just In the south about Q
o'clock. Mars 10 not quite 30 bright as Venus
and Its rudy color will readily serve 10 dis
tinguish It.
Jupiter is far over In the east in the constel-
lation OF Capricornus, and does not get we'll
clear Of the mists OF the horizon before about
10 o'clock. When 1t has risen sufficiently
high. and the air is clear. good field glass
easily shows its four moons, which appear as
tiny specks OF light almost swallowed up in the
glare OF tho great planet. II the observer docs
not sec them the first time he tries he should
not conclude that his glass is incapable Of
showing them. They may be too close to tho
planet. and some OF them may be, at the time.
