The naval hydrographic office of Washington has issued a circular which is a reply to numerous requests as to the difference in the length of a sea, or nautical, mile, a geographic mile and a statute mile. This is the official- information : "In the United States the sea, or nautical, mile or knot, used for the measurement of distances in ocean navigation, has a length of 6,080.27 feet ; in France, Germany and Austria the nautical, w sea, mile has a length of 6,076.23 feet; in England the nautical mile, corresponding to the Admiralty 'knot,' is 6,080 feet. The geographic mile, which is the length of one minute ot longitude of the equator of the terrestrial spheroid, is 6,087.15 feet long. The statute mile used principally in measurements on land is 5,280 feet."
