AUSTRALIA ON GLOBES.
CHANGE NOT EXPECTED. After examining a suggestion made recently by the Sydney astronomer, Mr James Nangle, that Australia should he put on top of terrestrial globes issued in tile Southern Hemisphere, the London News-Chronicle expresses the opinion that Australia—on the map only—will continue to be on the bottom of the world. Greenwich Observatory officials de--clined to consider the proposal seriously. A leading firm of map-makers said it would not be worth the cost to produce upside-down globes. A psychologist’, commenting on Mr Nangie’s fear that the bottom position would give young Australians an inferiority complex, said: “J don’t think, from my experience of Australians, that there is much risk of that.”
