CARICATURE IN A MAP.
\ POmpous OmcisI Pictured I'm a
Coast Line.

U'rom the New York JournsL)
Take the large official map Of the west
Florida coast. printed for the Government
in 1856 said a former Federal employee.
and run your pencil carefully along the
boundary line, southwark from Tampa Bay.
You will find the peninsula there makes
all sorts Of extraordinary turns and twists.
and presently, IL you look sharp, you will
run across a grotesQue portrait of 4 man.
formed entirely by the line OF the shore.
The face is round AVID fat with a boz
tie nose and bristling mOuStache while a
little lake indicated near the edge makes
a comical staring eye. The arm OF a small
bay suggests the outline Of a neck and
chest. and two or three diminutive islands
are located at just the right places to do
duty for buttons. Altogether il looks Iike
a caricature Of some pompous little officer
and according to tradition in the Bureau
of Survey, that is exactly what il was in
tended 10 be.
AS the story goes, one OF the draughts-
men who did the work for the Sc man
claimed 10 have been badly treated by a
certain fussy little captain in general
charge and to get even he worked this
caricature portrait Of him into the outline
of the coast. The thing was done with such
diabolicaI ingenuity that the captain him
self passed ;he map without noticing the
hidden picture.
Later on, when il was observed and
recognized, the draughtsman insisted
blandly that the resemblance was mere
coincidence, and he had simply followed
the natural configuration OF the peninsula
q" If il happens to correspond 10 the cap
tain's profile, ! am surely not responsible
he said. = cannot change the coast OF a
State on account OF the shape OF his nose
-'Of course, the captain was furious. and
the whole department roared with laugh
ter 1t is a significant fact that the later
maps do not contain the caricature"
