Strange>t OF all the changes made per-
haps In the dlvisi ms of the earth is the
class fication If Europe aud Asia as one
Continent under the general name Of
Enrasia. What is known generally as
Europe Is termed Western Eurasia, while
Asia Is called Eastern Eurasia.
Most important perhaps of all the maps
Is that of the continent OF Africa. which
is shown with all its political divisions.
Much OF the information upon which the
map Is based Is taken from The infOrma-
tian given to the world by Stanley aud
Livingstone,
In dealing with Polynesia, however. the
revolution IN Hawaii has been ov' Rocked.
and in speaking of those islands it is said {:
"The natives, called Kanakas, are a high
type Of Malays. They have adopted a
civilized form of government simillr TO
that Of the United States, with an herpdi-
taTy king instead of a president" The
compiler evidently forgot to make the
chang when the revolution occurred SIX
months ago, and the books have been
printed without correction.
These are the principal changes made
for the benefit OF the pnpil. the book being
in other respects similar to those in use
now and in the near past.

In the new book there are many things
which will prove surprising to the older
generation who stud ed the textbooks of
years gone bv. For example, great deal
of space is devoted to the climate OF the
world, and Storms are explained IN detail.
OF their origin the author says: "A Storm
wind is generally rart OF great whrllng
wind, called eyeinne, often several hum
drei miles In diameter. Cyclones are
caused by the thrush Of air from all sides
to an area of low pressure. Air rushing in

divides the human family into five races
the Caucasian or white race, the Malay or

in the public schools of California. 1t is
an advanced geography. and the work of

pages and is profnsely illustrated with
maps and cuts. all Of which are OF superior
workmanship. OF the maps the compiler
says in his preface: "Throughout this book
they represent the physical geography of
the world according to the most recent
discoveries and conclusions, and the po-
