HANDBOOK OF THE COAST
AND GEODETIC SURVEY
The Department of Commerce hna
issued especially for distribution at
the Panama-Pacific International Ex
position a pamphlet entitled “United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
Description of its Work, Methods and
Organization/’
While this work is intended for the
general reader it also gives a eoneiso
account of the more important scien
tific features of the work of the Sur
vey and of the improvements ilia!
have been made iu recent years in
instruments and methods. In the sec
tion relating to hydrography there Is
a description of the wire drag, an
apparatus so valuable in discovering
'hidden dangers that escape detection
by the ordinary method of sounding.
In the section relating to tides is
a brief description of the improved
tide-predicting machine wliicn v itii
one operator prediets the tides for one
year in advance for any port, and
does the work of 100 men. To set the
machine for any station and tabu
late the tides for a year Tor any
port takes not more than 12 hours.
■ In the article on the base lines
there is a description of the modern
method of measurement with tapes
of invar metal now used in the Sur
vey to the exclusion of any other
method. The invar metal Is an al
'!oy of nickel and steel, the advan
tage of which for this and many etlier
purposes is that its rate of expansion
and contraction under changes ct"
temperature is about 1-25 that of
steel so that the important source
of error due to temperature changes
is practically eliminated. The use of
taoes has decreased the cost of base
measurement by about 35 pc,- cent
and greatly increased the rapidity of
the work.
Under the head of astronomv is r.
description of the Talcott method of
i observing latitude by means of which
results of superior accuracy are at
tained. This method has long been
used by the Survey in precise determ
inations. The instruments used in
the determination of longitude by
the telegraphic method are also de
scribed.
The use of a motor truck for the
transportation of parties engaged in
latitude work is mentioned as having
increased the rapidity and decreased
the cost of such work by a large per
cent.
There are numerous illustrations of
instruments and apparatus, parties at
work in the field, ete., nnd maps
showing the extent and character of
the work.
When the survey was begun under
Ferdinand R. Hassler, the entire coast
of the United States was on tlie^
Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The
acquisition of California, Oregon and
Washington, and later Alaska. Porto
Rioo, Hawaii and the Philippine Isl
ands, greatly extended the scope of
the survey and brought new prob
lems to be solved. The extension of
the triangulation into the interior so
as to form a geodetic connection be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts;
the extension of this system so as to
furnish accurately located geographic
oositions and elpvntions In all parts
of the United States; and the begin
ning of a systematic magnetic surrey
of the whole country are among the
important works that have been under
taken since the original plan of Has
dor was adopted.
The results of the operations of
this bureau are of importance to the
navigator, the surveyor, the engineer,
and to all who are interested in works
of public improvement requiring ac
curate surveys ns their basis.
The publication may be obtained
without charge from the Division of
Publications, Department of Commer
ce, Washington, D. C.

FREMONT AND KIT CARSON.
Pen Picture* of the Pathfinder and the
Famous Scout.
In “Kit Carson Days." t» Kdward
L. Sablu. we get this glimpse uf the
personal appearance of Carson and
Fremont when the two daring spirits
first met:
"In .lime. IS42, came the rateful
meeting of the trapper scout. already
known throughout the west, and the
Pathfinder whose great fame wus still
to HIU1P.
"The two men were opposites. Car
son was Scotch-Irish, gray blue eyed,
sandy eomplexloned (under bta tan),
light hatred, rather fiat featured,
gritty, but so quiet and ordinary both
In appearance and manner that few
not knowing his name would beatow
upon him more than a passing glance.
Fremont was French, flashing blue
eyes, olive white complexion, thick
brown hair, features regular and oval,
disposition sensitive, quick, eager and
Indomitable. Few would forget him.
"Fremont was a scholar of both
American and continental accomplish
ments. At this time Carson could not
rend nor write even bis own name,
aud his speech even In lStlfl was of
patois wherein mingled Mexican, In
dinn and many a frontier English
Thar,’ ‘tout.’ ‘massacreed.- “pore.' etc.
But be spoke In more languages thnn
did Fremont bimsetf. not only belug
fluent in English, French. Spanish and
several Indian tongues, all acquired
orally, but also being well conversant
with the sign language of red man
and of trail.’’
Of this meeting on the Missouri, out
from St Louis, came comradeship
first and a friendship that never ceas
ed. In California and in the Mexican
struggle the stnnehness of both men
and their loyalty to the flag were well
tested.
FEMININE BEAUTY.
Maturity Hat i Charm Greater Than
That of “Sweet Sixteen.’’
There Is a beauty quite apart from
youth—the beuuty of the mature wo
man. Some there are who maintain
that beauty does not reach the zenith
under the age of thlrty-flve or forty
In a measure this is borne out by the
events of the antique past, which may
likewise be parallel with Instances of
our own day.
Helen of Troy appeared on the scene
at the age of forty. Cleopatra was past
thirty when she met Antony. Aspnsta.
married to Pericles when she was thir
ty-six, was a figure brilliant In her
world for thirty years after. When
Diane de Poitiers was past thirty-six
she won the heart of Henry II.. and he
was but half her age.
Anne of Austria was thirty-eight
when described as the most beautiful
woman of Europe Mile. Mar was ber
aided as the greatest of beauties at
forty-five, aud Mme. Iteeamler was at
her best between the ages of thirty five
and fifty Mme. de Mnintenon was
forty-three when united to Louis, and
Catherine of Russia was thirty three
when she took her seat on the throne
which she occupied for thlrty-Uve years
All those womeu were world famed
ftor their beauty and gave the lie direct
to that toothless old saw that buzzes

of youth aud complexion of roses. It
must be admitted, sometimes combine

which goes to the making of a perfect

Mighty Handy.
Some negroes are insatiable “Jlners."
and their favorite organizations are
those which assure an ostentatious fu
neral.
A mistress was remonstrating with
her servant about helungiug to one of
them
“Bonnlbet. don’t you think It Is
mighty foolish to pay the ’Friends und
True Mourners' society' 25 cents every
month?”
