THE FLAT GLOBE AND GEO.
GRAPHICAL HISTORY OF
WORLD.

If THE Palasadian" had to pick the
most valuable and important publica-
ton of the day, it would choose the
international Geographical History of
the World, an explanatory work ac-
companying the World Flat Globe.
The Flat Globe is really a fiat map
of the world, printed by color process
on both sides of a circular board,
thus getting it's right to the name of
fiat globe. But it is an up-to-d date
map or atlas of the world, and I'M
questionably one of the most valu-
able publications ever gotten up for
mans general information about the
earth and what it represents.
The fiat globe is about % inches
in diameter, and hung on any home.
school or library wall would be high
ly ornamental and instructive. Also
it would be the most valuable thing
that could possibly be used by teach
ers, and every school in the land
should hasten to add one to its pos
sessions. If the International Geo
graphical History of the world were
made a part of every school in
America it would be the most valu-
able and instructive thing ever done
for the benefit of child education 1t
should by all means become the lead
ing text book on geography every
where because it possesses the add
ed charm of being up-to-date in ev-
cry sense. The International Geo
graphical History of the World is
right down to date, having every
part of the world war covered to the
minutest detail and the fiat globe
giving all Of the new countries made
by the Versailles peace congress.
1t would be difficult to overstate
the value of the fiat globe and the
world history accompanying it be-
cause mere words cannot adequately
describe it. An example of the sort
of information it contains, referring
to the Atlas part of it is the fact that
the topography of the entire world
is presented in such a unique and
original manner as to excite wonder
ing praise at once This refers in
particular to the method of under
standing the topography of every
country under the sun The outline
maps give the definition of the area
of the different countries, and heavy
lines define the boundaries The topog-
raphy is indicated by color
scheme. For instance, all land that
is from sea-level to 1000 feet high,
is shown in light green color All
sections of the earth's surface that
are from 1000 to 1000 feet are indicat-
ed by yellow; all land that is from
1000 to 5000 feet high is told in buff
and so on UP to $4,000 feet sections
All and below sea level is shown by
purple. and there is quite a bit of
land below sea level principally
around the Caspian Sea.
There are SO many other valuable
features connected with, the Flat
Globe and International Worlds His
tory that a mere sketch can give no
real idea of what it represents or
how valuable it is. 1t is a gem and
a treasure beyond a doubt, and the
most instructive publication ever got
ten out within the recollection of the
writer. The general material inter-
ests, the products. the religion the
type Of government, the commerce,
the races, the distribution of vege-
table and animal life, full descrip-
ton of waves of the ocean, the cur
rents. both of air and sea, thunder
storms, aurora borealis, weather,
clouds, fog, dew, geology-in fact
about everything there is to know
about this old ball of ours, is sue
cinctly told in this remarkable pub
lication, and it is so compact that
300 RACES cover the entire geographic
al history Every family should own
copy of this enlightening publication
It is worth it's weight in gold and has
no counterpart in the history CT
books and aliases.
