Abstract
SOME time before the opening of the Paris Exhibition it was announced that one of the attractions of the show would be a great terrestrial globe, one millionth of the actual size of the earth. This globe is now exhibited in a building specially erected, near the Eiffel Tower, for the purpose, and it excites the warmest interest among all visitors who have devoted the slightest attention to geographical science. It was designed by MM. Villard and Cotard, and these gentlemen, who have received many congratulations on their success, have lately issued an account of the manner in which their project has been realized.
