terview today with representative Oh
the Pail Mall Gazette
One of two things he explainea
with regard to the mechanical part OF
the work usually happens when maps
have to be altered. Either the old bound
aries on the existing copper plates are
taken out and new boundaries re-
engraved, or an entirely new map is
made.
In the case of the Balkans, he said,
new map will probably be made right
through from the beginning. The skele-
ton of such new map is, indeed, already
in course of preparation.
An entirely new map is specially neces-
sary in this case, because before the war
all the existing English maps of the Bal
kans, without exception, were very old,
having been prepared before the days OF
surveys of precision. There are, how
ever three or four excellent maps that
have been made by the Austrian general
staff. They are not absolutely complete,
but where they fail there are the maps
issued by our own general staff. particu-
larry those of the districts around Adria-
nople and Constantinople.
The material for the new maps will be
obtained from the treaty which will be
issued by the various governments.
Where alterations are made this treaty
will lay down with all the necessary ex-
actness the position of the new bound
aries, perhaps along the crest of range
of hills, or parting or rivers to given
degree of latitude or longitude.
In the Balkans the exact line of from
tier has often been difficult to follow.
Take Macedonia, for example," Mr..
Stanford said, VERY few people could
tell exactly where the boundaries are.
They do not exist on the maps. They are
best defined by the basins. or valleys of
two big rivers. the Vardar and the
Struma.
THE same with Albania. There Is no
boundary line on any map. Albania is
simply a district inhabited by Albanians,
There again there is a water parting with
a range of hills that seems pretty much
the frontier of Albania"
Maps, of course, have frequently to be
altered, either as the result of wars or
the settlements of boundary commissions.
The war in South Africa altered the map
very little, the difference being that Ma
tai got little more country. Boundary
commissions are frequently at work in
Africa and other parts of the world, and
they usually issue with their reports a
map of the country, so that the existing
maps are very much improved as q result
of their work
What altered the face Of map more
than anything can remember" Mr.. STAN
ford added. was the work of the hound
airy commission between Chill and the
Argentine. The whole coast line ana the
positions of lakes were greatly altered.
We had to wipe off the existing map a
large piece of South America and re-
engrave it."-Pan Mall Gazette.

Thinner for eiaht on rs Cents.

For II cents Newark couple
bought abundant meat and vegeta-
bles for a Sunday dinner for eight
persons. Every article was sound and
wholesome, and in each case the pur-
chase was in the smallest quantity
obtainable.
The same provisions, had they been
bought at the prevailing retail prices
quoted on large quantities, would have
cost Sill. The very least estimate 70
put upon the saving, therefore, IS 50
cents, or 81 Y per cent.
Ii seems thus clearly demonstrated
that wholesome food may be bought
in small quantities at prices which
register a 30 per cent. reduction in the
cost of living as ordinarily figured.
1t is to be noted, however, that the
saving was effected at the cost of con-
siderable personal Inconvenience and
some labor. The shopping necessitated
visits to many stands in Center mar
ket during the Saturday night crush,
and much walking upon Mulberry
street. Terms were spot cash. All
purchases had to be carried home
the sacricffce of nearly all the so
called shopping conveniences.
One is thus reminded of the fact
that perhaps the largest factor in the
cost of living is the price we pay for
mere convenience The telephone. the
free delivery, the charge account, all
minister to carelessress in buying
and add appreeiably to prices, for the
buyer must pay for all of them. Tn
questionably. too. there are too many
middlemen. but as each ministers tc
the convenience of the consumer, hi
remains. and the price of his services
is added to the cost of living.
Evidently, therefore, anything
which makes direct buying easier
tensd to cheaper living. Every mid
dleman or artificial convenience thai
is eliminated, by so much lowers
prices. Herein is the justification oil
Center market, where the buying here
considered was done, and all similar
institutions. BY gathering many
food puveyors under one roof anC
attracting many more TO the inn
mediate vicinity. they make shoppins
easy. because they furnish a very
large range of selection within a
small radius. and stimulate a compe-
tition among dealers that assures the
lowest practicable priees.-Newart
