A curious memento of Charles Thorn
son, the first secretary of the CONT
mental congress, has just turned up in
Lower Merton township, in Montgom-
cry county, where he passed his declin-
ing years. Catherine Scheetz, an old
lady who lives in little frame house
on Mill creek, treasures, among many
relics of the revolution, q lock of the
distinguished statesman's hair This
came into her mothers possession soon
after Thomson's death in 1924 and was
handed down to Miss Scheetz as a
precious heirloom. 1t has preserved its
original color, a grizzlea white, to q
wonderful degree. Miss Scheetz also
has pair of white high-heeled slip
pers which were once Martha Washing
toms. The heels of these slippers
would awe even the most experienced
modern society belle. tapering off to
about half-inch square at the bottom
in their height of three inches.

Among the curiosities of taste, the
Partisan passion for sclf-cxhibition at
the morgue must hold Il conspicuous
place. The principal keeper at the
morgue is said to have had many ap-
plications from persons eager to figure
as corpses on the slabs of the dead
house. They were deferred by the
official announcement that the temper
ature Of the bodies was kept some de.
grees below zero. If this discomfort
could have been endured for twelve
hours. and if the authorities could
have been persuaded to lend them
selves to such fraud, what materials
for a coup in journalism would have
been afforded to some enterprising
genius!

MAPPING THE WORLD.
A Project In Which All Nations Have
willingly Entered.

- IrOJoo6 IN Wnlcn All N8tlO0D HAVE
Willingly Entered.
At the geographical congress at Berne
q year ago Prof. Pcnck proposed the
publication of a map of the entire world
on universal scale of one in ZOO, 900,
or about sixteen statute miles to the
inch, the various nations to take part
in the production of the map. The
proposition was favorably entertained,
and committee was appointed to take
steps for its realization. The geograph-
ers of various nations on the whole
have received the idea with favor, and
there seems to be no doubt that the
map will be produced.
Each sheet of the map up to 60 de.
grees north latitude will embrace FIVE
degrees in each direction. The more
northern sheets will embrace ten de-
grees of longitude. The representation
of the whole earth, including the sea,
will require 936 of these sheets, while
the land alone may be shown on 1859
sheets. 1t is proposed to give great at
tention to the physical and political
features. DIR. Ravenstein, the English
mapmaker, says that the rivers will be
in blue and the hills in brown. Contour
lines will be drawn at elevations Of 100.
300. 500 and 1900 meters, and the areas
Enclosed by them are to be tinted. It
Is expected that sheets which deal with
countries already geographically sur.
veyed will be engraved on copper. The
remaining sheets will probably be litho-
graphed.
The Greenwich meridian will be &C.
cepted for the entire map, says the New
York Sun, and all attitudes are to be
marked in meters. The official spelling
of all countries using the Latin alpha.
bet is to be retained. Other alphabets
are to be transliterated in accordance
with system to be agreed upon, while
names in rnwritten languages will be
spelled Theoretically. 1t is estimated
that the cost of an edition of 1000
copies of this map, showing only the
land surface, will be s957, 100, and as the
sale of the first edition at shillings a
sheet would produce only s47s,595 the
deficit would be made up by the gov
ernments concerned or by liberal pri-
vate patrons.
Prof. Ravenstein says he sees nothing
Ctopian in the scheme. Difficulties
may arise as to the spelling of the
names and the introduction of the
1eter, but the essential thing to his
mind was the introduction of uniform
scale

lished, but since no complaint has been
heard from the commanders generally
the number cannot have been large.
Down at Old Point Comfort, just as
the ships were weighing anchor to
move up to this city, reporter of the
New York sun asked the captain OF
one of the English ships how many
men he lost in Virginia.
"Only four, SIR" said the captain,
''but they were the wrong four.
When we dropped anchor here 1 called
up number of men that had had my
eyes on for long time. and 1 said to
them: Look here said, you're bad
lot. You're always making trouble
aboard ship. Ill tell you what I'll do
with you. I'll give you five shillings
apiece if you'll cut and run when YOU
go ashore here
That's what l said to them, but
they're with me yet. You can't get rid
of bad pennies like them. Thev'd
rather stay and stir up mischief. It's
the good men that we lost, and more
OF them take French leave in New
York. It's the ambitious. push-ahead
fellows who think they'll get to be

those are the kind that turn up miss
