Just recently there assembled in the Foreign Office in London, a conference of delegates from the leading governments of the world, who are met for the purpose of a preparation, on a common system, of a map of the world, on a scale of one to one million, or about 16 miles to the inch. The object is to make a map that will be uniform through the entire world, with a uniform set of symbols which can be adopted by all nations. Surely it will be an excellent thing.
