From the Wikipedia article (link below),

Presentation of data on a logarithmic scale can be helpful when the data cover a large range of values - for the use of the logarithms of the values rather than the actual values reduces a wide range to a more manageable size.

How do you draw a log graph?

You can get semi-log or log-log graph paper. In the first, the horizontal axis is linear while the vertical axis has a logarithmic scale. You can always use the paper sideways so that the horizontal is logarithmic and the vertical linear. The second type has both axes with logarithmic scales. Alternatively, you calculate the appropriate values and plot the results using the usual Cartesian coordinate system.

How is pH scale different from other scales of measurement like the Fahrenheit temperature scale?

pH is a logarithmic scale, so a change of 1 in pH means a change of 10 in the quantity. It is also negative, so as pH increases the measured quantity actuallly goes down. The temperature scales are simply direct scales; all changes mean the same thing and going up means going up.
