1t is only by comparison that some
things can be understood, and this is
particularly true of divisions of the
earth's surface. Every one has a fairly
clear idea of the size of his own state
or county or even of the whole area
of the United States. By comparing
other countries and seas with those
that are familiar to us on the map a
much clearer notion of them is OBJ
tanned.
Greece is about the size of Vermont.
Palestine is about One-fOurth of the
size of New York.
Hindustan is more than a hundred
times as large as Palestine.
The great desert of Africa has nearly
the dimensions Of the United States.
The Red sea would extend from
Washington to Colorado, and it "a
