During World War II many British soldiers were held as prisoners behind enemy lines. In order to help them escape, the British Secret service came up with a plan to smuggle maps, money, and compasses into the jails. ​

For this they took the help of the Red Cross, who were permitted to send care packages to these soldiers. They hid the necessary items along with packages for games and pastimes.​

What ingenious way did they use to smuggle the supplies?

The Greeks were said to have been the first to have discovered Lodestones in Magnesia. ​

Later, It is said that the Chinese travellers used it for making a spoon out of it and placing it on a smooth board which would then point to the south.​

This was an earlier form of what?​

​

A possible origin of this, is that it refers to the cardinal directions. ​

It is said that it also refers to Notable Events, Weather and Sports. While in fact it comes from the French word ’Nouvelles’ which means new.​

What are we talking about?

he new Chinese Passport, released a few years ago had new features like it was microchip equipped and had new designs on its pages.    ​

However, it soon ran into controversy as they also added neighbouring territories to its map.​

True or False?​
