At the Geographical Congress In Borne q
year ago Prof.. Penck proposed the publication
OF a map OF the entire world on a uniform
scale Of l in 1.OOO. OOO. or about 10 statute
miles to tho inch. the various nations to take
part In tho production Of the map. Tho propo-
sition vas favorably entertained. and a COM
mittee was appointed to tako steps for its
realization. Tho Reographers Of various M
lions. on the whole. .havo received tho idea
with favor. and there seems to DO no doubt
that the map will be produced.
Each sheet Of the map up to BOo \. lat. will
embrace o In each direction. The moro north.
crn sheets will embrace lO' OF Longitude. Tho
representation OF the whole eartl,. including
the sea. will require $50 OF these sheets. while
tho land alone may be shown on 760 sheets.
1t Is proposed to give grcat attention to phys.
ical and political features. DR. Ravensteip,
the English map maker. says the rivers will
be In blue and the hills In brown. Contour
lines will be drawn at elevations OF 100, 300.
500. and ZOO metres. and tho areas enclosed
by them are to be tinted. 1t Is expected that
