A REMARKABLE MAP.
The great ordnance survey map of England, containing over 108,000 sheets and costing during the last twenty years about a million dollars a year, is nearly completed. The scales vary from 10ft and oft to the mile for the towns, through 25in, 6in, lin, | and l-10in to the mile. The details are so minute that the 25in and 6in maps show every hedge, fence, ditch, wall, building, and even every isolated tree in the country. The 25in map shows in color the material of which every part of a building is constructed. The plan 3 show not only the exact shape of every building, but every porch, area,, doorstep, lamp post, railway, and fire plug. — San Francisco exchange.
