WALKS AND TALKS By JULIUS CHAMBERS Study of Accurate Maps Is Nearest Approach to Travel MANY AT ATLANTIC CITY In the Whirl of Muslral Comedy Charily Shows The Settlement Play, the Poly Play "Some" Productions. Over and above all wedding news, all news of debuts, even ahead of all private dances and the coming season is to see very many of these latter comes most interesting gossip of the big musical comedy performances in the cause of this philanthropy and that. This winter is to have a full measure of these delightful affairs, assembling' many of the chief people social note. St. Mary's Junior Auxiliary has somewhat stolen a march on the others, having, a week go, made its announcements.

But it is by no means to completely dominate. The Settlement "Show" is so is the Poly "Show," and each shows brilliant promise. Two personalities will be missed, of course, from the active role of the players and the executives of this year, Miss Marjorie Decker and Miss Beatrice Buttling, who, as already announced, have decided to become brides, and therefore will have no time for the frivolities of the amateur "boards." Miss Decker will be married in October, Miss Buttling in November. It will be long before their equals can be found in the Brooklyn field. The "Settlement" Show.

However, the plays under way will find no difficulty in getting ahead. The "Settlement" Show has chosen the date of Friday, December 10. The opera house of the Academy of Music will again be the scene. The Webbs Kenneth and Roy are again furnishing the vehicle, and will coach, direct, advise. The piece they are to present is to be called "The Mountaineer." It is interesting to see how these able young Manhattanltos, who are, of course, professionals and have decided skill, have slipped into the Brooklyn amateur play giving field and are very nearly dominating it.

They are giving the rival plays St. Mary's and that for the "Settlement," which, to announce its name in full, is the Jackson Street Settlement. Miss Juliet Holmes Griffith, "Tommy" Andrews, Miss Monica Burrell, Miss Marietta Hipkins, Edwin Hicks Bigelow, Oscar Widmann and Raymond Hotchkiss are the principals hoped for In the performance of "The Mountaineer," though as yet the cast has not been arranged. All these girls and men made very definite "hits" a year ago, and the year before that. In this coming play a chorus of four men and four girls Is being planned as one of the features, and it is hoped that this will be one of the most attractive ensembles ever seen in dramatic Brooklyn.

As to the executive of the Settlement play this fall the special department that Miss Marjorie Decker has been gracing for several years Mrs. Francis A. Westbrook will head the patronesses committee. Miss Beatrice Goldsmith will attend to the cast, Miss Grace Meacham is to have charge of the chorus and the costumes, Miss Alice Keppy assisting her. The Poly Show, Though it Is not to be given until late in the winter at the Academy of Music, either February 26 or March 4 (matinee and evening) the Poly Prep Alumni Musical comedy for this season has been practically settled.

The play itself has been virtually selected. Its book and lyrics are by a prominent Poly alumnus, whose name the present writer is not allowed to reveal at the moment, and the music has Just been given out to a well-known Broadway composer. The Poly executives have been reading shows all summer, and they have met with nothing as good, they say, as this piece by one of their own men. Besides the Brooklyn performances the 1916 Poly play will be given twice out of town, thus becoming for the first time a traveling organization like the famous Princeton Triangle Club. Edward Bullwinkel, H.

Ginnee Le Berthon, Oscar Widmann and Raymond Hotchkiss are the probable stars. Edwin Hicks Bigelow is the chairman of this year's executive committee, with William Slegrist and Arthur F. North, his associates. It is very likely that Frank M. Stammers will again arrange the ensembles and direct the chorus.

Edwin Hicks Bigelow to Play with the Washington Square era Over In Manhattan. He Will Be "On" October 4. To Brooklyn Society and the world of Brooklyn private theatricals of fashionable note a very decided compliment has Just been paid. Edwin Hicks Bigelow has leen invited to Join that semi-professional organization, the Washington Square Players. He has accepted, with reservations, depending upon the time he can give.

He will be, at all events, seen in the Players' first production this year, in the little Bandbox Theater on Fifty-seventh street, Manhattan, a week from tomorrow (Monday, October 4). His part Is to be that of a morose, love-sick country boy, and he is to play opposite the widely known Lydia Loupokova. The piece he and Mile. Loupokova are to have the leads in is Percy Mackaye's "The Antlck." new and described as a "Yankee fantasy." Mr. Bigelow's appearance with this notable group of people is exception ally interesting.

He may not, however, be able to appear In many of the following productions of the Players, with the details of the Poly play on his hands, and other matters. Miss Beatrice Buttling to Be Married Wednesday, November tO, In the Evening, at her Home. Miss Beatrice Buttling has announced her wedding day.

Hall, Miss Mildred Marler, John Radcliffe, ticipated Columbus by fifty-nine years! Hallam. in his "Middle Ages." asserts that the polarity of the magnet was known in 1100, but it was not practically adapted to the marine's compass until the Fifteenth Century. As I have said, this "Mestre Jacomo" is one of the mysteries of history, taking rank with "The Gentleman of Elvas." who supplied all that is known concerning De Soto's expedition A -i through Florida to the Mississippi. Jacomo. whoever he may have been, was a maker of charts and compasses.

The voyage to the Western Islands, as the Azores were called, had been made without any means of determining latitude or longitude. The first mention of a Portugese observation for latitude, according to Sir Clements R. Mark-ham, was in 1462, after the death of "Henry the Navigator." Therein is the first record of Diego Gomez de Cintra having used a quadrant to observe the pole star for latitude. He became the discoverer of Sierra Leon in 14fio. The quadrant was crude in construction and consisted of a graduated arc of 45 degrees, a sight and a plummet line.

As long as Portugese navigation continued above the equator, the polar star served, but when daring sailors ventuded farther and farther south, the pole star came too near the horizon and other means of fixing localities had to be adopted. Then followed the twenty-year reign of King Joao II, most brilliant in all Portugese history. He it was who called the Congress of Navigators, bringing together all learned astronomers and mathematicians of Europe. Discovery was pursued with unflagging energy. Joao's ships, under Diogo Cam and Bartholomeu Diaz, reached the mouth of the Congo and finally the Cape of Good Hope.

5 The fleet of Vasco da Gama sailed on July 4, 1497, supplied for the first time with all necessary instruments and nautical tables. They were furnished by the Junta or Congress. The nautical astrolabe of the Portugese was entirely of native origin. Humboldt claimed its invention by German scientists, but no proof exists to substantiate the assertion. The ascertainment of longitude still remained an unsolved problem.

The Spaniards were far behind the Portugese as navigators; even Columbus, setting out on his history-making voyages, was not properly supplied with instruments for taking observations and his records were almost valueless for subsequent navigators who sought the New World. The first Spanish work on nautical astronomy was published by Enviso, who filched its contents from Portugese nuthors. English navigators, in turn, learned from Epain. through translations of Medina and Cortes and not until Elizabeth's reign did navigation become a serious study in England. The best maps of that period were made by Flemish and Dutch carto-graphlsts Ortelius, Mercator, Blaeu and Hondius.

Such was the dawn of accurate map making. fc 4 A general knowledge of the facts herein sketched is essential to beginning a course of intelligent geographical study. To those who have not traveled, maps are the only evidences of places unseen. One many become very proficient in his knowledge of the earth's topography as an armchair geographist. It has always been dangerous to propose innovations in science, Archimedes was am artyr.

alileo suffered, and Mercator was threatened by the Holy Inquisition. The European was has introduced several features of navigating the sea and the air that must lead to wonderful changes in shipbuilding. Several British torpedo-boat destroyers are credited with speed of fifty-odd milea an hour! Sulimarines now exist with a navigating radius of 5.000 miles. Zeppelins and Taubes sail 500 miles or more, carrying ammunition to isolated camps, and dropping bombs en route. Only a few days ago, a fleet of gigantic Zeppelin air craft carried many tons of ammunition from Vienna to Constantinople.

The Arabian tale of the sacred carpet upon which its possessor could be translated throuhg the air to far-away places has already become reality. Exploration by airship will clear up many disputed questions of physical geography. The camera will make them visible to the eye of the non-traveler. CALIFORNIA CHARMS ARTISTS. Brooklyn I'alnlers Visit the Coast and Some llom.Jn There.

Miss Eleanor Bannister, of th Ovington Studios, has returned from California, where she went some months ago to paint several portraits of distinguished persons. She has had a most successful season there, and has made many sketches. She is en thusiastic about Portland, whore scenery is at the city's doors. Miss Bannister painted for a lime at Car-mel-by-t he-Sea. in Southern California, near Monterey.

Miss Culhertson ami Miss Ida Johnson, former Brooklyn artists, were at that place, having settled there on leaving Brooklyn, soon after San Francisco was visited by the great lire and earthquake. Miss Cul-bertson was painting delightful oii studies of California scenery, and on of them was brought to Brooklyn by Miss Bannister.

The Delafiehl Estate has leased to William E. Freeman a handsome residence of English type, located on Goodridge avenue, near Fieldston 'road, In Fieldston, Riverdale-on-Hu son. AFTER the battle 01 Ausimiu, Prince Metternich exclaimed: Tear up me may are that the present war, however it may end, will call for whol ly new cartography of the Continent. The subject of map making is a fascinating one to any lover of geographical study. Maps enable man to vioniiio the relative locations of his toric places and to comprehend the in timacies between nature ana tne artifices of the human race.

Personally, I confess that a good map interests me intensely. One can extract enjoyment from a map of the Europe of yesterday by speculating where new frontier lines will be drawn tomorrow. Bulgaria's position, for example, is hazardous. Sentiments of gratitude call her to Russia's aid; policy dictates an alliance with Austria-Germany, In order that the march of 500,000 armed Teutons across her territory toward Constantinople may be without devastation. Bulgaria doesn't desire to become a second Belgium! On the other hand, if the Allies secure Constantinople, by casting her lot with them, Bulgaria would surely be given the remaining piece of Turkey between her present frontier and the fortifications of Stamboul.

This would include the ancient capital of the Osmanll Adrianople and Lulu Bergas, still red with Bulgarian blood. My intention is to Talk about the history of map making, which, as an accurate art, made no progress until after the invention of the compass and the sextant. Anyone who has studied a map of the world as known to the ancients win be impressed by the utter misplacing of localities. The famous Egyptian geographist, Ptolemy, most accurate of his time, had a muddled sense of co-relative locations. A wonderful old map of the Mediterranean, in the Doges' palace, Venice, is worth a journey to Italy to study.

Ancient navigators appear to have comprehended the meaning of latitude, but they could not grapple with longitude. Greeks possessed sufficient imagination to see Apoiio drive his glowing steed across the sky between dawn and darkness. Thus did they account for daylight. They hadn't any definite idea whence the God of Light came or whither he went, after his day's task was finished. They were totally deficient In all means of fixing localities.

The Portuguese originated and developed the means of making and delineating their discoveries, by determining localities; although the Cata-lonians and Italians preceded them in the art of making maps. Marco Polo's travels across Asia remain to this day- monumental evidences of perseverance I and courage, but without an accurate! man of the countries through which he journeyed, a reader of his narrative cannot form a definite conception of the vast distances traversed by him. 4 A mystery is associated with early map making, almost equal to that identified with the early exploitations of America. About 1410, a "Mestre Ja-como'' was brought from the Island of Majorca to Sagres, Portugal, and became the advisor of that remarkably intelligent Portugese prince. Henry was a younger son of John 1, King of Portugal, and was distinguished for his geographical knowledge.

Jacomo was said to be extremely learned in the art of navigation and his presence in Portugal bore fruit by adding vast territories to the little kingdom, much of which is still retained. Prince Henrv's shins rounded Cane Bojador in 14.13 and discovered Ma-1 deira, the Azores and Senegal. It is amazing to reflect that if, on reaching the islands now known as the Azores, Henry's ships had continued their westward course they would have an-1 AT HOTEL (iHAMATAX. Bronxville, N.

O'Brien Jr. ASHEVILLE SEASON' ON. Carolina Resort Expects Lively Winter Crowds. Asheville, N. September 25 Inquiries for reservations received at Grove Park Inn point to the greatest winter season in the history of Asheville, despite the fact that winter is still many weeks away and the autumn leaves are only beginning to show the first changes in coloring.

Grove Park Inn, by its peculiar location, which gives it a mild climate, even more mild than the balance of Asheville, the year 'round, made Asheville a winter resort, by first pointing out that the climate here, while not severe like the Northern climates, still lacks the enervating qualities to be found in the States farther south. Indications are that the Grove Park Inn winter colony will be as large, if not larger, than the summer colony, which has given the Inn the gayest season in its short experience. Weather that has all the appearance of a summer day, coupled with the delightful coolness of an autumn night, has kept Asheville society out of doors during the daylight hours and tripping the light fantastic during the evening hours. All the hotels are still giving their regular dinner dances, the chief event of the kind this week being the dance Thursday night at Grove Park Inn, given in honor of the visiting members of the Southeastern fVtion of the National Electric Light which met at the inn this week.
