FEW MAPS ARE TRUTHFUL
In Fact, Only Those on Globes Arc
Able Accurately to Portray Ex-
tensiye Areas.

p. Is
Do you know what, a map is? It
sounds like foolish question. You
will probably contend that every
schoolboy knows. II pressed for a
definition you will probably say "a
map is a drawing which exactly rep
resents a portion Of the earth's sur
face, the distances between the points
upon the map being proportionate to
distance between the points upon the
earth represented" or some similar ex-
PLANTATION. ~ s1s
81, But this is only partly true, writes
@. Fl. Claudy in the Scientific Aneri-
can. There is only one kind of map
In existence which will truthfully lit
such definition, and that is a map
made upon a globe. No fat map, large
Or small, exactly represents any
portion Of the eartf's surface, and only
on a globe are the distances between
all points truly proportional to- dis
tances between points on the earth rep
resented.
In other words all fiat maps are dis
storted. All fiat maps tell only part
of the truth. All flat maps to some
extent misrepresent the facts. {.
This is not due to any lack Of moral
sense on the part Of tie map makers.
They can't help it. The nature of g
globe is such that there is no process
by which its surface can be fattened
out without tearing, stretching, cutting
or COMPRISING. And the earth is a
globe (slightly flattened at the poles).

SHARKS TAKEN Off NEW YORK
Their Capture Said to Have Been q
Regular Thing Prior TO and
During Year 1915. tgj,s

A shark nowadays even on the most
exposed beaches Of New York aud the
metropolitan area Is q rarity and Q
curiosity, but there was q time when
these fish used to be caught of Cath
arine slip, says the New York Sun.
This was about 1916, when the fishing
smacks and fish cars used to unload
and load of this wharf In the East
river and the dead fish thrown out into
the water used to attract the sharks. \
An old man, Sam Way. a porter in
the old Catharine market, earned a
reputation as a master shark catcher.
z '..Shark around the slip" was the
cry that was raised when a shark was
sighted or the pier and then Sam
would drop his broom and put out his
chain hook and soon would have the
giant fish struggling on the dock. He
is said to have hauled In as many as
seven in one day, some Of them four.

Zone day Sam hooked big one and
he climbed into a skiff which lay tied:
to the end Of the slip; the shark took
to pulling and broke loose the sktf
with Sam in, and away he went down
the river at raee-horse speed. nearly
as far as Red Hook before he tired
out, or Sam could hold him up. He,
however, mastered him and brought
him back, and Sam after that con-
cluded not to be run away with again.
SO he stuck to the raft or dock when
he fished for shark thereafter" it

SHED i LIGHT ON WORLDS AGE.
Discovery by Humble Enalishman
Proved a Most Valuable contribu-
tion to Scientific knowledge. !,

A village grocer in Kent, England,
some years ago came upon some Pc
scnliar stones around his house. He
studied them intently and as a re-
suit succeeded IN establishing the age
of mankind III IA
AS most people know, our primitive
ancestors used tools and weapons
which are known under the names Of
eoiltllic, neolithic and palaeolithic In
st-uments.
The grocer who made the discovery,
BeaJ2laiG Harrison, came to the con-
clusion that these stones would per-
1haps throw some light on the subject.
For so years he made. collections Of
samples, and by devotlng himself. to-
their study managed to- prove that
man existed ut least oOO, 900 years ago.
The stones he had collected were rel
ics Of ancient Implements
Mr.. Harrison was content to spend
his life in his native place, seldom
travelling more than twenty miles
away. When only twelve years Of: age.
he started his researches among the
chalk hills. Of the Downs and on the
site Of the old Roman camp at Old
bury:

] Machine Clears Land for Farm. /


Among the new agricultural machin-
cry is a ponderous mechanical con-
struction which moves under its own
power over some rough country and
leaves it in condition for planting.
The operation of clearing land for
agricultural purposes is l. very hard
and tedious operation, but with the
aid of this. new machine the labor
and time expenditure is reduced more
than half. The front end Of the ma
chine, which moves on q caterpillar
tread, is equipped with heavy bars
with sharpened points which enter the
ground alternately and tear roots and
throw them on a conveyer belt, drop
ping them inside to be disposed OF
later. The rear Of the machine Is
supplied with a somewhat different
device which pulyerizes the ground
and leaves it in condition for planting.
Under ordinary conditions this ma
chine has a capacity Of three acres

Delays That Were Fatal.

Former King Karl stopped for dinl-s
ner at a time when ahe should have
gone on; and all history suggests that
such delays are nearly always fatal.
Hannibal lost Carthage, d possible
triumph, when he stayed to eat many
dinners in Capua, just as Prince
Charlie lost his hope Of the crown
when he delayed on his march to
London. Six weeks at HolyrOod ruined
the Stuart cause. Had he at once
marched south he might well have
reached London, and had he reached
London the face Of history in this is
land might have been changed" So,

primitive CONDITIONS Of, Life.

The natives of some unexplored re-
gions Of South America make little
clearings, usually one or, two, but
sometimes as many as 20 or 80 acres.
These gardens are disorderly affairs,
with the half.burned stumps left stick
ing up. They plant them without APP
parent method. They generally have
a great deal Of casava, our tapioca,
which is their form Of cereal. It
also furnishes the native drink, in fer
nlented form. @.& 7
Il AS to meat, they eat only what they
can catch and kill, wild meat, exclu-
slvely, and they hunt largely with bow
and arrow. 1t is no rare sight to see
an Indian starting off with a great
bow six feet long to shoot birds. for
which he uses a blunt arrow, says Pro-
lessor Gleason. They use barbed or.
rows to shoot fish. ~. H. r. ~... 7. ..,. 4.
