Wants to Build an Immense Globe.

Large maps" may, as Lord Sails
bury has recently been reminding US, be
exceedingly desirable for certain pur-
poses, but in the opinion of M. Elisee
Reclus the need for large globes is even
more CLAIMANT. In Belgium review
that geographer submits plan for the
construction Of terrestrial globe on the
scale Of one e-hundred-thousandth.
The diameter of this microcosm would
be 1877 meters, or about 400 feet. The
best Of maps, says II. Reclus, are de-
ceptive. They do not accurately repre-
sent tho relative dimensions of different
regions. The globe, on the other hand,
shows the actual structure Of the planet.
+ yes each country its exact proper
tions and renders accurate comparisons
possible. On the suggested scale, more
over, true idea Of the height of noun
tains and the depth of oceans would be
readily gained. Thus the height even
of Montmartre would be quite percepti-
BILE. The surface Of the globe would be
of plaster, the sea level being represent
ed by thin sheet Of glass. The struc-
ture would be made to turn upon its
axis by means Of steam or electricity.
1t would be preserved from the weather
by an outer structure of glass and iron
100 meters in diameter. As the globe is
intended for geographical study sys-
tenn Of lifts and spiral platforms would
be erected between the outer and the in
ner sphere, thus facilitating this object
while leaving the globe quite free to re-
volve. NJ. Reclus, in submitting his
project, asks for the criticism as we'll as
the help of geographers throughout the
world. -Westminster Gazette.

Ore Drawback.

There's no such thing in this life as
complete satisfaction. If man has no
money, he is miserable. and if he has
lots of it, it is next to impossible to in
vest it remuneratiyely. There is no bust
ness which is sure to pay, not even the
business of stealing, but that's because
there are so many persons in it, and
there would be many more In it If the
penitentiary did not prevent it from be-
ing open to everybody, and SO be utter
IL rnined. -Boston Transcript.
