[m the northwest quarter of such a square is sufficlent. But if greater precision is required, decimals can be added to the reference numbers to the ulÂ¥#mate practical limit, so as to identify the point exactly. Moreover, [if one wishes to go further than this, ‘the system of grid squares provides an accurate means of obtaining the distance and direction (or bearing) from one point to another,. And this last mentioned possibility is not con-i fined to two points shown upon one map sheet but may also be used to | connect up points which may be' shown upon adjacent sheets or upon | sheets even far removed from one another. All that would be necessaryl' to make this tomputation would be to know the grid square, reference num-’ bers, decimals and all, of the initial| point and also of the final point, theg rest being a matter of simple| mathematics. , For all ordinary purpo!el'.v to say that a point Hes in square 22â€"112 or One difficulty, bowever, with the} ,usual squaring system is that the| numbers of the squares are only good | ‘for one particular map. If you havgf several different maps of the same, ’urm: at different scales, then it wouldi be quite possible that the same pla.ce| ,would be in differently numbered squares on the different maps. , « The soâ€"called "Grid" system as | worked out by the Topographical Surâ€"| vey, Department of the Interior, 151_ really nothing more than a nationalâ€" | ized system of squares, so arrangedl; that if any place is referred to by its | two grid numbers (letters of the'; 'alphabet not being used) there can || be no mistake as to its locationâ€" 5 whether or not the name of any partiâ€" cular map sheet is mentioned. ’I’lms,!t if there are several map sheets of the 1 same area at different scales, then| under this national grid system, the â€" two reference numbers of any grid|‘ square would always refer m-ocluslyi}j to the same location on the ground. & | In order that they might be easily used for reference purposes, it beâ€" came a common practice for topoâ€" graphical map sheets to be squared off in Hke manner. For purposes of ‘admlnlltntion and for other purâ€" poses, it is most desirable to have a eystem such that when a name is given there can be no mistaking the place or feature that is referred to, If you have a map which is squared . and wish to write to someone who has a similar map, there can be little posâ€" sibility of a mistake if you quete the name of the map sheet and then, inl referring to the feature in question,| state it is a certain square. | _ The same system of squares has been used for many years for map reâ€" ference purposes by publishers of guide books and general maps. Each square, for convenience, would be designated by a number or by a numâ€" ber in combination with a letter of the alphabet This combination would be obtained by marking the strips of squares in one direction with a letter and those in the other direction with & number, the squares having such deâ€" signations as A7, D9, etc. This method, owing to its simplicity, soon became very popular, and resulted in great convenience to the map user.} map from the school text book we would very often start off by markâ€" ing a set of squares on the map in the book. Then by placing a similar set of squares on the sheet of paper on which our map was to be drawn, we could readily draw it by copying the outlines of the ,printed map square by square. The system of using squares on maps was thus well reâ€" cognized by common usage in school life, and although it was not thought of particularly in that connection it was really a system of map rel’erenc-‘ ing. to another, And tms, Mr. McLean has expressed the possibility is not con-joplnlon’that New Guinea is a country ints shown upon One,of great mineral wealth.

No underâ€" _ ground work had yet been attempted, } but a line of reef 30 feet in width had ibeen traced by the outcrop for five \ miles. _ At a conservative estimate, |according to Mr. McLean‘s report, the 'reef would pay 20 ounces to the ton |at a value of £2 4s, an ounce.

He declared that the! progress of chemistry was an interâ€"| national affair, and that nothing waslI more pernicious than to fall into the error of calling Germany "the country of chemical industry," ragardless of the achievements of others. | Negotiations are« proceeding, her lnld, to reâ€"establish international conâ€" Itact between the chemical interests | of different countries, but an idea of | 'the world that is entirely baseless, hel ‘said, was the impression which apâ€"| |pears to have gained ground in the | Dr. Curtius, Federal Minister of Economy, said the German chemical industry had passed through a hard "After the oil agreements we are ready to coâ€"operate with other branchâ€" os of American industry, hoping that the day soon will dawn when German chemical irdustrialists may expoct fairer treatment at the hands of Americans," he said. United States that a chemical front is being combined in Europe against America. German industry, he deâ€" clared, would never lend itself to such a scheme. The synthetic product is declared to be the equal of the natural rubber and cheaper in cost of production, thus permitting its active competition with the natural product. _ Another dispatch, by the Associated Press, from Frankfort, announces that the German dye syndicate has sufâ€" ficiently progressed with experimenâ€" tation in producing synthefic rubber to apply for world patents, and that synthetic rubber will soon appear on th world markets as a commercial commodity. We read: The Minister of Trade, Herr Curtis, pointed out that the organization of the German chemical manufacturers must be credited to America, since visiting producers at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 got the l,dea of orâ€" ganizing, and two years later formed‘ the present association. to maintain monopolies in many branches, new trade developments are along vastly different lines, as eviâ€" denced by the various mergers with English, French, and American firms. Dr. Weinberg stressed the part synâ€" thetic production is playing in the present chemical industry, especially in the fields of artificial silks, leathâ€" er, horn, shellac, wood alcoho!, oils, and glycerin. While before the war Germany‘s chemical industry never combined with foreign interests and preferred ) â€" Synthetic rubber, already producâ€" ible in the laboratory by more than one method, but hitherto kept from the world‘s markets by inferiority of quality or excessive cost, is now again reported to be on the point of becoming an article of commerce. Dr. A. von Weinberg, a German privy councilor and a director of the Dye Syndicate, stated recently at a meetâ€" ing of the German Chemical Manufacâ€" turers‘ Association at Frankfortâ€"onâ€" theâ€"Main, that it will soon be manuâ€" factured in Germany and enter the world‘s markets in competition with the natural product. It was announced that a new catalyzer had been found, simplifying the union of the elements of rubber in coal tar.
