of the kind in the world and il is
not well to dull ones capacity for
enjoyment by seeing the finest
first So says Mr.. Henry Gannett
of the United States Geologic Sur
vey in a report on the geography of
Alaska. He might have added that
1T would be we'll to take time, be-
fore starting on the journey, to
study the topographic and geolog ic
model of Alaska which the survey
has prepared and will exhibit at
the Jamestown Exposition.
This model, which has been con-
structed as though it were a por-
ton of a globe with a diameter of
o feet, shows the dominant fea-
lures in an easily leg ible manner.
The horizontal scale is above 40
miles to the inch and the vertical
elevation is exaggerated about s
times. For comparison a small
map of the United States with Alas
ka on precisely the same scale
printed it is attached to the
model. 1t may thus be realized
how extensive a district Alaska
really is One may more easily
comprehend therefore that the CHI
mate and character of differe t
parts of Alaska are as different as
those of Georgia and northern Min
ncsota, or South Carolina and CAL
ifornia.
The model shows in striking
form that there are four major
belts which differ from adjacent
areas IN amount and character OF
relief. Other features of some gem
cral Importance are also represented
on the model, such as the chsrac-
ter of the sea floor off the Alaskan
coast and the distribution of the
various deposits of economic inn
portance.
As graphic representation of
facts is always more impressive
than a written statement : reg arding
them, this model will tell to many
minds story that the published re-
ports have failed to make clear.
