Geographical Oddities
Digging Through to China
"Digging a hole through the earth to China" has long been a figure of speech for describing the depth of mines, oil wells, and similar underground enterprises. But it must have been coined by someone and accepted as a fact by those with scant interest in the geographical position of the United States with relation to the rest of the earth.
If it were possible to tunnel straight through the diameter of the earth-it's only about 8,000 miles from any point in the continental United States, it would not come out on the other side anywhere within several thousand miles of China. It would come out in some remote part of the Indian Ocean! And if such a shaft were put through from Maine, or some other point close to the Canadian boundary, it would come out in the southern part of the Indian Ocean within a few hundred. miles of the Antarctic Continent.
Brazil to the United States
If you were a steamship operator and had a ship in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and received a contract to deliver a cargo to the nearest large seaport in the United States, you'd pro- bably think of making the delivery at New Orleans. But, if you knew world geography, us every successful steamship operator does, you'd load that cargo, pass oven New York, and, take it to Boston. It would be the shortest, quickest, and least
expensive haul.
