distance from each other increases with their distance
from the equator, so that at all places the degrees of
latitude and longitude have to each other the same ratio
as on the sphere itself.
Oblique projection, a projection made by parallel lines
drawn from every point of a figure and meeting the plane
of projection obliquely.
Polar projection, a projection of the sphere in which the
point of sight is at the center, and the plane of
projection passes through one of the polar circles.

a crucible or other vessel containing prepared metal or
other matter which is to be thereby transmuted into gold.
