Michigan Physical Map.

Work on the physical map of Michi-
gan that is being made by c. ]. Paul.,
for exhibition at the worlds fair, is
progressing nicely. 1t has been de-
cided by the Michigan commission to
frame it with an elaboratley designed
frame that shall not be surpassed IN
artistic work. The services of the most
skillful designers in this city will be en-
gagged for the purpose. Four of them
will make the frame, each taking a
side or end piece and the fifth will
superintend the work as to symmetry
and will prepare the monogram of the
state, to be placed on the upper end of
frame. As an incentive and compen-
sation for the work a silver plate upon
which is inscribed the name of the de-
signer and his address will be placed on
the part of the frame designed by him.
The map will be 12xl4 feet in size.
