Nations of the World are Now Engag

New Map of the World
An announcement that the nations
of the world are now engaged on a
project for the making of a new map
of the globe, coupled with a plea for
a complete survey of the Pacific as an
economic necessity, has been made by
Cblonel E. Lester Jones, Director of
the United States Coast and Geodet
ic Survey, “the oldest scientific organ
ization in the United States.” Colon
el Jones asks that this question be re
ferred to the twenty-one Pacific na
tions with a recommendation that they

Concerning the new world map Col.
Jones says:
“The project for a map on a scale
of 1:1,000,000 is already well under
way; projection, symbols, statutes and
a program of cooperation have been
agreed upon, but only a few sheets
have been issued for the Pacific area.
The British General Staff has adopted
a scheme embracing more than 100
sheets. The United States and the
Japanese government are working to
gether. On the millionth scale there
are uncounnected surveys covering
the whole of the Dutch East Indies,
Siam, Indochina, Japan and the coast
of China.”
Colonel Jones said that the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey can
not undertake the survey of the Pacif
ic until the American government pro
vides a seagoing vessel of extensive
steaming radius, together with the per
sonnel and funds necessary for her
operation. “Before these are forth
coming, Congress must be convinced
of the importance of the work to be
performed and that it will justify an

increased demand upon the public
treasury,” he remarked. Pointing out
the importance of the Pacific survey,
Colonel Jones added:
“Around us, extending for thousands
of miles in every direction, stretches
the mighty expanse of an oceanic
new world. its area, 70,000,000 miles
exceeds the total expanse of all the
continents and islands on the globe.
The maximum width of the great sea
10,000 miles, is two fifths of the cir
cumference of the world. Truly, a
fresh and unique section of the world
to explore. The geophysical forces
are here seen in actual operation on
a scale of unparalleled grandeur.
Ocean currents sweep around one
third the circumference of the globe.
Depths of five and a half and six miles
! have been located. The periphery of
an ocean is outlined by an immense
ring of active volcanoes, a veritable
ring of fire.
“It is singular that with venerable
civilizations of remote antiquity on
both shores of the Pacific—China and
1 Japan on one side, the Toltec, Maya,
| and Inca Empires on the other—the
! very existence of the great ocean was
; not certainly known to Europeans un
t til about four centuries ago, when the
j new world and the great ocean were
discovered not tar apart. in tact, tne
European discovery of the oceanic
new world occurred almost simultan
eously on both shores. In 1511 Albu
querque stormed Malacca and Portu
guese ships began steaming through
the Strait and radiating toward all
parts of the Malay Archipelago, China
and Japan. In 1513 Balboa from the
summit of Quarequa gazed upon a
boundless ocean, while in 1520, Ma
gellan’s ships emerged from the
Straits named for him into the Mar
Pacifico, discovering the Ladrones and
the Philippines and circumnavigated
the globe.
Survey to Enlarge Food Supply
“It is scarcely too much to assert
that the coasts and waters of the Pa
cific can feed the world. But before
an inventory of such resources can
be made there must be a comprehen
sive geographical survey. The first
essential is to complete our know
ledge of the configuration of the sea
bottom and to obtain data for a baby
metric chart, or one made by deep
sea sounding. Developments in aer
ial surveying and in subequeous sound
ranging encourage the hope that rapid
and thorough methods will soon be
practicable. These will permit the
construction of a model map of the
ocean bed.
“Such a model, showing submarine
platteaus, ridges, shelves, pinnacles,
as well as valleys, troughs and abyss
es, will serve not only navigation but
all branches of hydrophysical re
search. For example, food fish are
found only on the continental shelf
or slope, or in its immediate vicinity.
Crustaceans about for a few hundred
fathoms beyond the mud line at about
100 fathoms. Thus the fishing banks
can all be located and fishing rights
adjusted.
“Variations of temperature, density,
salinity, acidity, etc., affect the ocean
currents and all together affect the
migrations and supply of food fish.
The circulation of the waters in the
great ocean is the climatic balance
wheel for many regions, ever striving
toward an equilibrium, which, fortu
nately, is never quite attained. The
sea has its seasons no less than the
land.”

The decision to leave Seward was

Miss Alice and her moth have liv

Alice receiving her high school ed

Murphy had been employed regular
