OO ABOUT MAPS. have been, in proportion to the value of their services, the least honored of the world’s benefactors. @isooverers of new ecrape of the earth’s sur- fuoa, are remembered for all time. Who has ever heard even the names of those whe patiently plotted out the new land and made it ‘jngocsstble to the rest of mankind? Does any one cut a smaller figure in history than the msp-maker? It is interesting to note that the modern world’s biggest map, of which the first sheets are now being issued, was planned by the Geneva Conference assembled at the British Foreign Office—which seams to place the great undertaking to eome extent under English auspices, The English peoples have never been the great map- makers. Other nations, one efter another, have enjoyed that dls- tinetion. Even on the popular side ft {s significant that to-day most of the civilized world travels with e German guide-book, that “Baedo- her” is the touriet’s synonym for trustworthy direction and instrne- tion in a strange land. A map is one of the first needs of adventurous man. Even “savages” and primitive peoples may have rudimentary yet servioo- ble charts. Arctio explorers Ifke Ross and Parry heve told of the eLREte nong the semi-ctvilized Mexicans. Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, ave Cortes a map printed on cloth clearly indicating the shore line | nd towns of the Gulf coast. The Incas in Peru hed not only out-| ine maps but maps fn relief—the first on record. The oldest maps in existence are two Hgyptian papyri bearing rough drawings of gold mines in the Nubian desert. Ae early as 3600 B, O. the King of Babylonia recorded surveys in clay tablets tor help in levying taxes, and in the Britteh Museum {s « circular “brick” dating from 2800 B.

The leter Grock philosophers and map- developed éclentifio notions of latitude and longitude the measuring of distances by pacing. Ptolemy in the second A. D. laid out a general map of the world which, in spite end crudities, remained the basis of most progress- down to the sixteenth century. : headed Romans bothered little about sentence and in thelr maps. They wanted practical charts for military political uses, The marvellous network of roads measured off milestones with which they covered the empire made an excellent peste for land-maps, and for the coasts of the Mediterranean they had the Ptolemalo charts, The only two specimens of Roman map- making that have come down to us are a plan of Rome and a road map of the world in « narrow strip. The Romane usually drew their world maps on an oval plane in which the earth seemed to be twice as long from east to west as from north to south. During the Middle Ages advanced map-making was a ticklish business owing to the attitude of the Church. The Holy Scriptures were supposed to have laid down once and for all the shape of the earth, The makers of rectangular maps pointed confidently to such expressions as “the four oornere of the earth” (Isaiah x., 12), and held that the Tabernacle was an Image of the world at large. Before Columbus's time, however, Ptolemaic theories were gain- ng force again. The ideas with which Columbus started out on his voyage are fairly represented by a globe which a German geographer set ap in Nuremberg in 1492. This globe was some twenty inches in diameter and made of pasteboard covered with whiting and parchment. ‘Not even the West Coast of Africa was correctly drawn, though the maker claimed he had been there, and the ocean eeparat- ing Evrope from Asia was only an undersized Atlantic, with nothing substantial in it eave Japan! Gaily painted flags and decorations diverted the attention from the bare spots of this sphere, Immediately following the discovery of America the Dutch came to be the first map-makers. Antwerp and Amsterdam were famous centres of “cartography.” In the eighteenth century tho palm passed to France, where the geographers did much to fill in the blanks and correct the errors in China, Africa and the Antarctic regions. Since the middle of the nineteenth century Germany has been the great maker of maps, ecientifie and practical. de 2?
