A Wonderful Map.

The map of France In stone which the Russians are preparing for the Paris exhibition Is a remarkable specimen of the lapidary's skill. It shows each Individual department In colored jasper, while the sea Is represented by lapis lazuli, the rivers by platinum and the 106 towns marked by precious stones. The countries bordering on France are given by gray jasper, and 14 islands are represented b/ stone of the same color as that used for the adjacent mainland. The map rests on a marble slab about three feet square, aai.d it Is proposed to Inclose It In a ■liver frame.—Westminster Gasette.
