The Greater United States.

The distance across the United States
is found to be 1882 geographical
miles from the lighthouse six miles
north of Cape May, n. j., to the light
house six miles south of Punta
Arenas, following the thirty ninth
parallel of latitude as closely
is possible. This is conceded to
be about the mean breadth of the
country. a glance at the map will
show that the United States is much
wider toward the north and much mar
rover toward the gulf coast, but the
thirty-ninth parallel is about as fair an
average as can be drawn. The meas
urements were made by triangulation--
that is, by taking observations from
GXed landmarks and verifying them by
astronomical tests. The distance
across the continent thus obtained is
! 70 feet longer than that reported by
Bessels in 1856, and 0S feet longer than
that reported by Prof. Clark in 1885,
