Hammond 4 Co., map publishers, for the entire first edition from the presses : Hammond's 1007 Pictorial Atlas of the World. This is the enly entirely new atlas which has been made in the last iS years; the geographical changes in this period hive been more important 'aal in any previous period of corresponding length; all data has been taken frofi the latest otricial sources, and, as you will see, this Is not a rehash of old plate but an entirely new set, made especially for quick reference of the busv mar. Here is our env map of the World' on the Equivalent Projection. On thu map all jireas appear in tbeir true proportion: take Greenland for instance, on the old sfvle n.aps it appears larger than South America, whereas it ha less than one-eighth the area of South America. These lines are the meridians by which the standard time of practically the whole civilized world is gv ( erned; meridians are placed fifteen degrees apart, which equals one hour o' time. niHkir.g it rasv to estimate the difference ia time between anv sectior.-t of the globe, as all you have to do is to count the meridians. Take New York and Denver, for ii.star.ee. the difference of t:me is about two hours; between New York and Alex.ir. ina. Egypt, the difference in time is seven hours. Tt- routes of the price;;! steamship lines with distances between ports are showa in red. Here is the new Railroad and Trade Crxter map of the United ?'t and Canada: the important through railroads are designated bv solid b'a- hr.es. rr.;r. r roads by Lair lines.
