LARGEST OF GLOBES.
An Illinois Man Com pleting n Repfe.
sentation OF the Earth's Surface.

sentatton OF the Earth's Surface
George C. Schreiber, of Lincoln. Ill.
Is now completing what he says Is the
largest geographical globe in the world.
Graduated from German uniyersi-
ties, Mr.. Schrieber is not only an ex-
pert mapmaker, but is an authority on
geography A little more than three
years ago he conceived the idea of
building globe which would surpass
all other globes not only In size, but in
accuracy and detail. He had made
several spheres similar In size and de-
tan to the ordinary school globes. but
he wished to outdo his own efforts as
we'll as those of others.
Being Of Il mechanical turn of mind
schrieber prepared his plans for the
monster sphere with care, and has sys-
tematieally put them in operation. The
hrst step was to build the frame of the
globe. This consisted of Il skeleton of
cast iron rods radiating from steel
pipe, which forms the axis; the pipe
was perforated and the rods were re-
ceived into 1t, being carefully gradu-

graph wire was used, a network being
woven over the ends OF the rods. A
rigid and fairly smooth surface having
been thus formed, he covered the wire
network with several layers of stout
building paper, gluing each sheet
smoothly to the surface.
Then the globe was grayish- black
sphere five feet In diameter the exact
shape OF the earth, being slightly flat
tened at the poles. 1t was ready for
Mr. Schneider to begin work upon.
Not much time was required to lay
on the lntegument of the great mass.
The preparation used Is OF Mr.. Schrei-
ber's devis!ng. He has used wood pulp
and papier mache, but neither was sat

serves the purpose better than any
thing yet discovered. Sawdust slfted

ana the outer covering Is ready. Schrel-
Der covered the big sphere with lay
er quarter of an inch deep Of this
material.
TWO or three weeks time was re-
qulred to dry the surface thoroughly,
and then the real work commenced.
First he marked off the degrees of lat
itude and longitude with mathematical
accuracy, then laid off the entire sur
face of the globe in half-inch squares,
half an inch on the globe being equiva-

lent to degree Of latitude His work
then proceeded Systematically, and for
the past three years he has spent eight
hours daily preparing this map of the
world.
The maps are in relief, every ocean,
lake and river being carved out of the
surface. All lines or names are en-
graved on the surface with sharp point
ed tools, and then filled with paint,
which imparts a pleasing effect and
also allows more delicate minuteness of
detail than If the names were put ON
with pen and ink. The route of every
railroad and canal in the world Is ac-
curately represented, as well as the
various steamship routes.
Not content with making his globe
the largest of its kind in existence, Mr.
Schreiber claims he has prepared the
most accurate maps eXtant. His col
lection of maps is immense, and not a
map of any Importance is published
that he does not procure Immediately
This one Item of expense has cost him
hundreds of dollars.
That one person should possess suffi-
Client patience to complete this great
work seems scarcely credible. Mr..
Schneider has had no assistance in the
mechanical part of his labors, save that
of his young son, George C. Schrieber
Jr. Many offers have been made Mr..
Schreiber for his wonderful production,
but thus far none have been consider
ed. He is said to have been offered So
coo for the globe by a Western uni
versity. He intends to exhibit the
globe Mt the Paris exposition.

1t is noticeable that in some Of the
states more strictness in passing upon
for naturalization is be-

a movement in the right direction; no
man should be admitted to the high
rights and privileges of citizenship,
who is not we'll affected towards our
government and does not possess some
knowledge of our local, states and ma
tional forms Of government. He
should be catechised on these sub
iects by the judge, and subjected to
such further tests as satisisfy him
that he is a suitable person to become

see naturalization made more dif1icult,

upon such applications will become
uniform throughout the United
