UtiCLE SAM'S STOCK OF MAPS
IlrmarkjiU Collection Occupies
. Quarters l Concessional
Library.
What ! not only the largest but also
tho most remarkable collection of maps
til the world U owned by the United
Elates government and cared for In the
congressional library. To the wine set
apart for their preservation come the
most eminent of geographers, and here
Commander Peary, discoverer of the
North pole, lias done some of his scien
tific research.
All told, thero are about 200,000 map
In the collection. One room has huge
aliases plied tier upon tier from the floor
to the roof; old-fashioned ones dating
fiom the beginning of atlas making to
the up-to-date creations of the binder'
art. An expert Is kept continually at
work mounting maps, for many that aro
purchased are In a dilapidated condition
and must be mounted or "backed" on
linen of the newest and strongest tex
ture. The market from which they are pro
cured covers tho world. From Greenland
to India, from China to Patagonia, maps
ate gathered, and the older they axe the
more they are valued. One map of China
Ih printed with the odd designs of rivers,
mountains, trees and men In a jumble
of which the American mind oan make
nothing, but possibly to a Celestial It Is
perfectly clear
Among the moat .Interesting and most
precious are early maps, some of them
dated prior to the discovery of America.
One of these Is a hand-colored affair
made In 14S2. lust ten years before Co.
jlumbua discovered tho new world. A map
made by Cosa, a companion of Columbus,
and dated 1W0, shows an odd-looking con
tinent meant to represent America, Thero
are rude drawings scattered about on
this queer picture, most of them attempts
to draw dwellings and people of strange
aspect- In 1W8 a map of the new world
was ongraved for the first time and It
grotesque outlines seem pitifully childish
under the glass of the hahdsomo case
in which It reposes, liy Its side Is per
haps the queerest of all maps, a powder
horn, on which a map Is etched In brown,
while not far off Is a map made by one
of the famous pirates of that day, a
Captain Dart, who probably used It In
his buccaneering expeditions after Span
ish gold.
A map dated 1W7 shows America as
consisting of Florida mostly, while Vir
ginia occupies the rest of the continent
almost exclusively, One of Kngland In
the time of Queen lillzabeth and made by
Saxtoti Is shown In a flne state of pres.
ervatlon.
Of i evolutionary maps there are sev
eral dozen, representing different states
or tho location of troops at a particular
time. To this period belongs a most In
teresting rello of Washington, which la
a survey of one of his own farms, every
field being accurately drawn to scale ana
the number of acres It contained written
clearly at the top.
The freak maps attract the most at
tention from the visitor. They are ranged
In a cue containing about ten queer
spoolmens of the map-maklpg art, and
alt are modern. Perhaps the moat lu
dicrous of theso Is a drawing representing
"All the World Watching," showing the
outline of all the nations fashioned Into
faces, but the characteristic of each
country shows in Its countenance, and
the correct geographical lines aro given.
Draxll, tha United States, England, Spain,
Portugal, Norway and Sweden are so
drawn that their ocean Una forma a hu
