volved in the disposal of the isthmus
for canal purposes, though her shipping
will, of course, be largely benefited
through the use of the waterway when
completed.
Another contribution to the Panama
map stamps followed in the form of
one gotten out by the new republic on
its own account. This in turn was fol-
lowed by the well-known "Canal Zone"
stamps, which are merely the Panama
map stamps, overprinted with the
words, Canal Zone" and Issued for
use In the strip of territory paralleling
the canal route and coded to the United
States by Panama. Nicaragua has
also had a map stamp, and this was
probably issued with the same Intent
to advertise the suggested Nicaraguan
route for an isthmian canal that ami
mated Colombia to stamp advertise
Panama. Venezuela issued map stamp
in 1896, and it is said that this was
for the purpose of impressing upon the
world In general, and upon Great Brit
ain in particular the Venezuelan
claims to the boundary between the re-
public and British Guiana.
Upon the occasion of the meeting of
the third Pan-American congress In

was shown on a stamp issued by the
Dominican republic in 1900. New South
Wales celebrated its one hundredth an
niversary In 1888 by issuing stamp
bearing a map OF the whole of Aus
tralia and the adjacent waters.
Globe charts of the world are shown
on one of the stamps of the 1894 issue
of Portugal, which was in commemora-
ton of the deeds of discovery of Prince
Henry the Navigator, who opened NJ
the East to civilization much as Column
bus opened up the West, and at about
the same period of history.

that of the treaty port OF Iehang, Chi
