THIS GLOBE OF THE EARTH-
**********
is steel; weight 3¾ tons;
diameter 10 feet; circumference 31 feet, 5 inches.
Shows airlines of the world, in addition to chief
geographical features, including ocean depths.
The globe is oriented so that its axis parallels
the axis of the earth undertoot, its North Pole
pointing to the North Star.
On this scale (linch to 64 miles) the greatest
oceàn depth, 34,218 feet just east of the Philip-
pines - would be only 1o of an inch below the
surface of this ball, showing that, compared with
the bulk of the earth, the great oceans are
relatively only a thin covering of water.

The deepest man has gone beneath the surface of
the earth (William Beebe, who descended 2,200 feet
into the ocean at Bermuda) would on this scale be
scarcely through the paint - ½50 of an inch down.
The highest man has ascended off the earth (Captain
Albert W. Stevens, 14 miles) would be but ¼ of an
inch off the surface of this globe.

The world's highest mountain (Mt. Everest in the
Himalayas, 29,141 feet) would project less than
10 of an inch from this globe's surface.
All the people in the world, packed into a box,"
could on this scale be contained in a case less
than 1o0 of an inch each way in size.
