to an undertaking of unique interest and rnportance-that of making the first great internationaI>map. of the world.
 It was at the International Congress in Berne in 1891 that Dr. Penck. q German geographer, suggested the idea of such a map and succeeded in having a committee appointed to promote the undertaking. That com mittee reported to succeeding con- gresses of the same body held in London in 1895, in Berlin in 1899. in Washington in 1904 and in Geneva in 1908. At the latter meeting the com mittee submitted plan for making the map, and it's suggestion, with a few notifications, was adopted at the recent congress in London.
 AS determined by the London con ference the proposed international map of the world will be l50 feet by 100zfeet in size and will be drawn on a scale or about sixteen statute miles to -fhe inch. As-s to the projection adopted for the construction of this greatest of all maps. it was impor- tant to select one permitting every sheet to Be-fitted exactly with each of the other-four sheets adjoining its four sides. and this condition is best met by what-sis known as the poly comic protectfonA-a method by the way, devised by a former superintend- cnt of the United States coast and geodetic survey. -Hassler. - On the forthcoming great map the seas and lakes will be in a blue tint. growing darker according to depth. All other waters will also be blue in tint, special symbols indicating. for instance. rivers perennial and non perennial and unsurveyed, their navi- gability and Instructions to naviga- ton also being shown. Contour lines will be drawn in brown, with spaces between tinted green for lower alti- tudes and different shades of brown for heights. increasing in darkness up to a certain altitude. Heights over 1000 meters will be left white. Roads of all kinds, main and secondary, and railroads, built. in construction or projected, will also be clearly indi- cated. together with telegraph lines, postoffices, boundaries and towns.
 There are many other details that are of interest. at present only to those charged with the work of preparing the map. An international agree ment has already been arrived at by which the heavens will be mapped on a Uniform system and considerable progress in this work has already been made. That eventually the com elementary task of mapping the earth scientifically, and thus give a definiteness impossible with our present maps to our geographical knowledge, will be accomplished by the joint work of the scientific car tographers of the world is now as- sured.-New York World.

MRS. CARTER COMtNG-Consld- erable interest is expressed in amuse- meEt circles over the early coming of Mrs Leslie Carter to this city. It will undoubtedly be one of the big theat- rical events of the season. While Mrs. Carter does not rank with Maude Adams, according to the critics. she is probably the greatest emotional ac- tress in the world Her visit here will give patrons of the theater an oppor- tunity to see the best in her partic- ular line of dramatic entertainment. !.

Reeder and baby daughter. who came from Se- dalia, Mo MT Reeder. who is a civil engineer and surveyor. expects to re- side here and devote himself to irri- gation engineering. He is son of Representative w. A. Reeder of Kan sas and who is now serving his sixth consecutive term. from. the Sixth dis trict MT Reeder is chairman of the house committee on irrigation. His son was graduated from the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute of Troy. N. Y-. and has had extensive experience in engineering throughout the east and the middle west.
 ALLEY llGHTS-The city council is doing its best these days to light up the dangerous dark places in the city. places that invite the perpetra- ton of criminal acts or that shelter those who might be sought for by the police. Lights have been placed in the rear of the Cabinet saloon and the Central hotel, on the alley officially known as Broadway street; in Wall -street and in Cactus Way. It has been suggested that two more are needed, one in the rear of the New York store and another in the rear of the McNeil store. With these in place Broadway would furnish but slightly more refuge for a thug than would Washington street.
