A Miniature Nap of the Country.

The Senate has passed a resolution
offered by Senator Cannon for com
mittee to study the project of Cannon
for ground map of the country
which is not only novel IN conception,
but:is::apparently of practical value and
easy Of attainment without great eX
pense. The idea is a miniature or
model United States made in perfect
imitation of the country on scale OF
one square yard to one square mile,
reproducing in each and various ma
terials the topography, all the natural
and artificial features OF the surface
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
showing The geographical divisions,
mountains, hills, valleys, forests, lakes
and rivers, cities and towns. Such a
map as Senator Cannon proposes VIII
need G25 acres, and it is found that the
outline of the Potomac flats is remark
ably like that of the country, small
bodies of water, indeed, being so sit
uated as to be readily transformed INTO
a system of,ponds in perfect imitation
of the great lakes on our northern
boundary. while the waters of the 70
tomac river curve in such way as TO
make the reproduction of our southern
littoral along the gulf of Mexico an
easy accomplishment. The Mississippi
river with its Missouri tributary
would be 45O6 yards long and wouia
average in width three feet OF actual
water The cities would be made OF
glass. and at night would be illuminated
Ry e ectricity. Driveways following
great railroads, footwalks around state
boundaries and observation towers
would render it easy to move ABOUT
No other country has ever had such
an one. but Senator Cannon claims
with good reason that there is noe
one hour in any working day OF tne
wear when Legislators of the Onlle 'l
States or administrative olf'eers are
NOT confronted by problems whicn
