present generations sense of perspec-
tive Half of the troubles that affiIct the
nations, declares the New York Mail,
are due to the mental strabismus caused
by these misleading maps. We believe
St can be demonstrated that the inter
national jealousy of Russia dates back
to the time when diplomats and edi-
torial writer's became familiar with the
.tMercator projection This device ig
nores the fact that the globe tapers down
at the poles, considers it as fat surface
and SO exaggerates the arctic domain OF
Russia that the czar seems to have more
than half the land in the world; it makes
Greenland bulk larger than South
America. No wonder that nations want
Russia trimmed The .Mercator pro-
lection" also accounts for what has been
called Canadian eockiness." It makes
the dominion look nearly twice as large
as the United States.

unfortunate Lawyer Jones had by some
miraculous means found his valuable

such was not the case. He nearly
burned up the wires that night tele-

much in ignorance about his papers as
when he received the startling infor-
