admirable.
These were not all the curious and
expensive items. When the war first
began. the newspapers made arrange
ments TO illustrate the operations,
marches and battles of our armies, and
the naval engagements of our navy,
and long before the close OF the war
the newspapers had reduced the sys-
tenn OF producing war maps to perfec-
ton. They kept on hand large corps
OF engravers TO make the maps at 4
moments notice. and they never failed
to furnish an illustration to every inn
portant battle ground. The CORE
spondents furnished rough diagrams OF
the field, the position of troops and To-
cality OF houses and streams, which
were rapidly transferred to the wood
and engraved by the engravers. A cor
respondent from the Army OF the Po-
tomac usually reached his New York
office with correspondence and maps
at 3 O'Clock on the second night after
starting. The diagrams would be
placed after that hour in the hands OF
the engravers and finished by the hour
OF closing the forms, about o'clock
the same night One New York pa.
per's item of expense for drawing and
engraving maps during the war
amounted to nearly $4,000.
1t may be interesting to note that be-
fore the close of the war Thomas w.
Knox invented a system by which
army correspondents could forward
their maps as they often did their cor
respondence by telegraph. BY the use
OF this simple invention correspondents
on the field could telegraph their jour
mails, and have produced for next days
paper full diagram OF the field, show
ing roads, streams, houses, fields,
woods, the position of troops by regi-
ments and the entire lines OF battle OF
the contending armies.-Philadelphia
