That was all, but for one day it made a cataclysm in the barometric topography of the U. S. New England suddenly found itself at the bottom of an atmospheric abyss between two great plateaus (see map). The effect would hardly have been much more catastrophic had a new Grand Canyon of the Colorado suddenly opened in the Connecticut Valley...
Chamberlain Map v. Hitler Map. The Berchtesgaden Plan of last fortnight went far beyond the demands which the Sudeten German Party repeatedly in August told British Mediator Viscount Runci-man would satisfy not only their "Little Führer" Konrad Henlein but also the Führer. Henlein asked "states rights" or "dominion status" for the Sudetens, and the Czechoslovak Government reluctantly consented.

Actually Neville Chamberlain had spent three hours with Adolf Hitler, still trying to act as broker for Peace, studying newly drafted documents and a map freshly traced in red ink (see cut).

S., and 20 or 30 smaller streaks may be observed in one day, forming a roof over the entire continent. Plotted on a meteorological map they resemble a mass of partly coiled snakes. Although the greater area of each tongue remains at uniform specific humidities, the extremities tend to undergo changes. At the southern ends of the dry tongues heat is lost and dry air descends from the upper regions. The northern ends of the wet tongues...
