HERE IS PBOFESSOB EATON'S LETTER: iiiiMi1 TELEGRAM: -I have examined Hammond's Pictorial Atlaa of the World and am very well pleased with it. The maps, while being re-cent, re-cent, comprehensive and accurate, abound in much useful information not found on tne ordinary map. tlve Th Desc"ptiTe an P100 Gazetteer is especially interesting and instruc- i",0 nome should be without an atlas, and I cheerfully recommend Hammond's Ham-mond's to all who wish an up-to-date work of this kind. Yours truly, Good evening! TIIE TELEGRAM has just made arrangementswithC. S. Hammond A CO;, map publishers, for the entire first edition from the presses of Hammond 's 1907 Pictorial Atlas of the World. . Thi.l is the oniT entirely new atlas which has been made in the last five years; the geographical changes in this period have been more important than ?Z p5evin!, Penod of corresponding length; all data has been taken from tne latest officiil sources, and, as you will see, this is not a rehash of old plates out an entirely new set, made especially for quick reference of the busy man. Here is our new map of the World on the Equivalent Projection. On this map all areas appear in their true proportion ; take Greenland for instance; on the old style maps it appears larger than South America, whereas it has less than one-eighth the area of South America. These lines aTe the meridians by which the standard time of practically the whole civilized world is governed; gov-erned; meridians are placed fifteen degrees apart, which equals one hour of time making it easy to estimate the difference in time between any sections of the globe, as all you have to do is to count the meridians. Take New York and Denver, for instance, the difference of time is about two hours; between Hew York and Alexandria, Egypt, the difference in time is seven hours. The routes of the principal ateamsliip lines with distances between' ports are shown in red. Here is the nevr Railroad and Trade Center map of the United States and Canada; the important through railroads are designated by solid black lines, minor roads by hair lines. The plan of presenting the size of places by symbols is a new feature; for example, refer to Mississippi, and you see at a glance that there are three cities of over ten thousand population, Vicksbure. Meridian and Natche?. The new feature of naming places in type graded in size according to the importance of the place makes our State maps superior to all others. The kc in the margin of each map makes this feature readily usable.' Portland, as you will see, has over 60,000 population, Lewiston over "20,000, Auburn over 10,0u0. This method enables one to locate at a glance the important places on the map. Among the recent geographical changes we show the Japanese ownership of that portion of Sakhalin island below fifty degrees, as determined by the Treaty of Portsmouth. The new cable extensions of the last two years: The new British Cable from Victoria, B. C, to Brisbane, Australia, and our own new Cable from San Francisco, via Hawaii, Midway, and Guam, to Manila. The two new Canadian provinces, , Alberta and Saskatchewan, which recently re-cently came into existence, are correctly shown. Eight, new counties were recently organized In Georgia Crisp, Turner Tift, Grady, Jeff Davis, Toombs, Jenkins and Stephens. ' Iar Wisconsin, Gates county has been changed to Rusk. Texas shows the new county of Terrell and the important railroad extensions exten-sions south to Brownsville. The map of Utah shows the new cut-off of the Southern Pacific railroad across Salt Lake from Ogden to Umbria, one hundred miles over trestles. A comparison of this Atlas with any other on such subjects aa the Philippine Philip-pine Islands, Porto Rico, Central America, The Canal Zone, Panama Cuba Western Canada, South America, Africa, Italy, Australia, etc., will at once' convince you of the extensive changes and additions to be found in Ham- mond's Pictorial Atlas of the World. . -Here are over one hundred pages of descriptive gazetteer matter, set In large, clear type, three columns to the page. In alphabetical form you will find set down and described in detail every country, mountain, river, sea. island and other physical aspects of the globe.- ' This Atlas will cost yon $5.00 in any book store in the world. . !-ou -ynCUn&TSS AV1 i0T 75 cent" b7 P8Tin t7'75 for ye'' ub-scnption ub-scnption to THE TiLLGKAM.
