Modern Maps.

There are Egyptian maps dating
from 400 B. g., but in spite of this
long history it has been astonishingly
difficult to make progress in charts
until very recent times. Errors are
perpetuated; truth is forgotten; ad-
vance is slow. AS late as 1900 charts
of the Alaskan coast issued by the
United States were said to be thirty
miles wrong, and nearly all CONNER
cial map makers still represent noun
tain chains as caterpillars, and the
fringe of the shore is adorned with a
blue wavy frill. AS for railroad maps,
the less said the better, the great rail-
road map of the northern belt of the
United States adjoining the walls Of
the Broad street Pennsylvania station
in Philadelphia being distorted east
and west, north and south and other
wise, its accuracy in large part not
being over so per cent, yet it is a more
than usually good railroad map En-
