AN OFFICIAL SIGN LANGUAGE.
Symbols and Authorizations Used By thu
United States Government.

If you were making reconnaissance
of large area of greatly diversified
country and were taking copious notes Of
the various natural characteristics OBJ
served as well as the many works of
man, your notes would consist to a large
extent of discussions of constantly re-
curing types which might well be ex-
pressed by symbols. The printed or writ
ten sign language is far older than the
alphabet, and there is in common use
to-day in the United States an official
sign language which so far as geographic
features are concerned is sufficient to
describe fully, without the use of a sim
gle word, the most unusual area within
the country or any of its outlying pos
sessions. This is the collection of sym.
bols. and authorizations adopted by the
United States geographic board and
published, with their Specification, on
large sheet by the United States geolog-
zeal survey. BY the use of these sym.
bols everything OF the nature mentioned
can be described by an amateur map
maker, or can be read on any government
map, and anyone who has tie key to
the symbols can read the map and learn
the character of the area so far as the
map depicts it.
Thus rock in the ocean whose exact
position is doubtful is represented by a
simple sign the size of pin head, and
an oil well or a telegraph station is indi-
Gated by another symbol no larger Ii n
lake or pond is Internationally wet and
dry it is represented by symbol slight
" different from that used for regular
lake, and if section of country ii COW
cred with pines or other eonifers the
symbol employed to show these trees Is
slightly different from that used in in
dicating an oak forest. Some 70 sym
bols are used to portray the various
works and structures erected by man,
from suspension bridges TO mine Shafts
or windmills; about 90 symbols are used
to Indicate different classes of land, rang
ing from sugar-cane areas to cactus
patches; aids to navigation and hydro
graphic features of all kinds are repre-
scented by many devices, and other gen.
eral subjects covered are boundaries,
marks, and monuments and many special
features.
This sheet of conventional signs is
much in use by schools and field organi-
cations. II can be procured from the
director of the geological survey, Wash !
ington, d. c., for 10 cents. or ii purchased |
in lots of so or more for cents, which /
simply covers the cost of paper and |

.Insures Highest Use of Public Lands.

The chief advantage of land with

or disposal of the peoples land as will
