THE RELIEF MAP.
A Valuable Feature That Is Being
Added to It.

The relief map in the office of the
State Bureau of Highway Commission
ers is nearing completion, and far sur
passes anything of the kind ever seen
on the coast.
One feature that is being added is
novel, as Well as instructive, and was
not included in the original scope Of
the map. The degrees Of latitude are
being faithfully marked out on that
PORTION of the map representing the
Pacific Ocean, and on each parallel is
to be marked the names of those por-
tions of the United States lying on the
Eastern seaboard on the corresponding
line, as we'll as relative points in
Europe and Africa.
Thus it may be seen at a glance that
the most northern part of the State is
on the same parallel with Cape Cod in
Massachusetts, and with the northern
line of Portugal in Europe, while the
most southern part is on the same
parallel with Charleston, S. c., and
with Tensift, Morocco.
