Oldest Map In the World.

In the museum at Turin is pre-
served a small fragment of papyrus
covered with lines and other mark
ings which at first sight appear
meaningless. For long time these
curious diagrams puzzled the ex-
perts. But it has now been recog.
nized that the fragment of papyrus
is an ancient road map of a gold
mining district in Nubia. 1t has
been ascertained to date from about
B. G. 1870, and is thus the oldest
map now known to be in existence,

RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE.
Toledo Men Advocate Loading to
Maximum Capacity.

New Orleans, June 1S-Interesting in
quiries into the means of relieving car
shortage are scheduled for discussion at
the twentieth annual convention of the
American Association of Local Freight
Agents associations which began here
today.
The delegation from Toledo has made
the following proposition:
MANY shippers show a disposition to
load cars to the minimum governing the
commodity shipped whereas loading to
full capacity of the car would greatly
relieve the existing car shorta ge.'
AS remedy the Toledo agents pro-
pose 'the changing of classification
minimum on carloads to the visible ca
pacity of the car"
The New York agents will bring up a
general discussion of the new rate law.
