stated that the Monterey. now in course OF consruc-

placed in commission on January 81 next. As no
vessel in the Navy be commissioned untIl she
has undergone certain preliminary tests as to her
speed or horsepower. and as The Monterey has not
been subjected TO such tests. some wonder was eX-
pressed how this ship could be placed In service BY
the date determined upon. All curiosity was set
at rest by the announcement that secretary Tracy

PRAISE FOR THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

PROFESSOR DAUBREE's APPRECIATIvE ARTICLE
IN TIE JOURNAL DIES sAvANTs.'
Washington, Dec. . Special The work OF the Cntea
States Geological survey has for years attracted VIDE
attention in foreign countries, and It's scope ana
thooughncss have received the highest praise from the
scientists Of the OH World. One of the most recent
public tributes 10 the work OF the survey is that paid
by Professor Daubree. the eminent French gcologiS
nspectorgcncra of mines and director Of the famous
school OF Mines In Paris. In number Of the Journal
dcs Savants" which has just reached Washington
Professor Daubrec conClElcs series OF articles re-
viewing the work OF the United states Geological sur
vey some Of his conclusions Will interest those who
are watching to see whether Congress will abolish the
Survey altogether or set 1T on It's legs again
Among other things Professor Daubree says
ain brief, the United states Geological Survey
pndcr the powerful impulse given to It by the Cen
eral Government, has accomplished work which Is
very important and which has been extremely ably
conducted. 1t is safe 10 that In no other region
OF the globe have such remarkable discoveries been
made in 50 short a space Of time. This orGanzauon'
perfect as 1t IS could not have borne such fruits II the
o!st ngushcd group Of scientific men who have taken
part in 1t had not constantly exhibited oarlcssncss
and enaciiy Of purpose in the various inhospitabe
regions where they have worked which recalls the
hcroism of an army attacking difficult and inacccssl-
bic positions.
These Investigations, at the time that they
contribute so effectively to the prosperity OF the
United states. greatly extend the domain Of science.
Thus geology, originating, as is Well known, In the
working Of mines. has now reached stage where by
an equitable reciprocity. Of which The present article
affords 50 many new proofs II formuatc laws Of great
Industrial value. Onthc other hand the constant con
tao: between theory ana application continually cMl'
for The renewed progress in pure science. The work
Of the Geological survey, with the magnificent series
OF monographs which 1t includes, has thrown lisllt
as vivid as unexpected upon the geological his
tory and the mineral resources OF North America.

A BILL TO RELIEVE A MERlroRIoUs OFFICER.


Washington. Dec. o (SpcclaD.-A bin OF relief" IS
usually looked upon with more or less suspicion IN
Congress and It's legislative history is generally one Of
prolonged hope and final disappointment. The reason
for this IS that such bills frequently have too little
merit TO entitle them TO favorable consideration. A
case Of the meritofous order appears TO be that OF
CAPTAIN William Fletcher retired officer OF the Army,
who seeks promotion the grade Of major the list
on which the operation Of law has placed him. The
bill affecting Captain Fletcher is now on the House
calendar having been favoraby reported by the House
Committee on Military Affairs. An effort on the part
Of the earnest friends OF this deserving officer made
last year 70 pnS the bill its passage but failed 1t
IS 10 be hoped that the bill will pass at this session
Captain Fletcher entered the Army in June, 1916,
"A volunteer served credably throughout the entire
Mexican War, and honOrably discharged In July,
lS4s. He enlisted In the Regular ARMY in Deem
Der le4S where he remained until october 1858,
having been engaged during that period in Texas
scouting against hostile Indians. and receiving special
mention in general orders for gallant services. IL
1861 upon recommendation Of General Scott md
others Mr. Fletcher made a second lieutenant In
the ARMY During the War OF the Rebellion his
service was marked by activity and success. and for
special gaaniry the second battle Of Bull Run he
was brevetted. At the end Of a carefully prepared
statement Of his services the House Committees
port says;
As a number of captains have been during the last
two years retired majors whose services did not
much exceed half that Of Captain Fletcher IT seems
but Just 10 an old and faithful officer that his ser
vices be fully recognized as theirs. In view OF the
facts above set forth and the record OF the War
Department hereto attached and made part OF this
report, your committee recommends that the bill do
