questions from 46 to 55.
No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas. Atlases deal with such invaluable
information as population distribution and density. One of the best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard
owing to the quality of its maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales.
In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if geographical
size were proportional to population. Following the proportion layout, a sequence of a smaller maps shows the world's population
density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national product in
term of per capital income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country
fits in with the global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care,
number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region. Population density maps on a sub-continental scale, as well
as political maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales.

My lawyer, Mr Turner, is the only man I know who has seen a ghost. He is a quiet even-tempered man whose life is spent in
dealing with facts. He is the last person in the world to give way to fantasy. He has a wife and two children of whom he is proud, takes
a modest holiday abroad every year and spends his Sundays gardening. He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he
doesn't pretend to be an expert by any means. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should so insistent about the ghost. It
happened, so he says, like this:
He was travelling2 from London to the North of England by train. It was a misty November evening and the train was half empty.
In fact for the first part of the journey Mr Turner had the carriage to himself and sat dozing over a newspaper. However at the first stop
a passenger jumped in, slamming the door behind him. He seemed out of breath as if he had been running. He was a striking looking
young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes. He was dressed rather oddly in a long waisted coat with silver buttons,
tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. Mr Turner did not pay much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant
clothes these days and he had long grown accustomed to them.
Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys. Mr Turner was interested to cover that the young man
was very knowledgeable about Art - in particular portraits. His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an
exhibition. It seemed that he worked in a famous London Art Gallery - a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr Turner, for he seemed to
know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits. When Mr Turner asked his opinion
of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his companion laughed and said, “He’s only a reproduction - a good one I
agree but you can't talk to a reproduction.” He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living.
After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr. Turner dropped off. He woke up just as the train was drawing up at a
junction with a grinding of brakes. His companion had disappeared.

A few days later, having returned to London, Mr. Turner found himself near the Art Gallery. Moved by some impulse, he went in
and enquired for Joseph Hart. The attendant directed him to a room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men.
There was no-one in the room and Mr. Turner looked about him. Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself
standing in front of a full-length portrait of a dark young man in tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. The eyes smiled at him
with a hint of amusement. The name-plate at the foot of the picture read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835.
