AMERICAN COAST LINE
Ii Is Nearly 6.8OO Miles Longtime
Work of Surveying Ii Begun
Under Jefferson.

In message to Congress i'll 1907
Thomas Jefferson, then President of the
United States, recommended the survey
ing of the Atlantic coast line OF the
country with view OF its adequate de-
fence and also to the establishment OF
guides and safeguards of navigation.
Congress adopted the recommendation
of the President and made an appropria'
tion of $4,000 for the purpose, the dlrrc-
ii II OF the matter being put into the
hands OF the Secretary of the Treasury,
at that time Albert tialIatin, who com
municated the views Of the Adnlnlstri'-
tiMI to "the scientific men OF the
country" in a circular distributed in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia chiefly.
The plan adopted was t" ascertain the
positions OF certain prominent points on
the Atlantic coast by Astronomical obser-
vatiOns and to connect these by lfl5o-
nometrical lines.
The Chief OF the Coast Survey was a
native of switzerland. and the work
went on under his direction with occa-
sional interruptions caused by change OF
Administrations until 1913, when be died.
The work at that time had been
finished from Point Judith, opposite
Block Island, to Cape Henlopen III
Delaware.
Since then the work has been prose
cuted actively, but meanwhile it has
been increased, particularly since the
concession OF territory on the Pacific
from Mexico.
The coast line OF the country is now,
according to the report just completed,
nearly 5000 miles, the land frontage ot
the country on the Canada and on the
Mexican border lines being nearly 4,SSO
miles.
The details of the American coast line
are as follows; 5,7l5 miles, embracing
2.349 miles on the Atlantic Ocean, ,1od
ON the Gui of Mexico and l,SlO on the
Pacific Ocean.
1t is an established proposition among
authorities in naval warfare that the
naval strength of a Government should
be proportioned to its coastllne.
That rule may be said to prevail pretty
generally, though Russia which has rela-
lively Il small coast line on the Black sea
and on the Baltic, has a large navy, and
| Norway and Sweden, which have an
enormous coast line, larger i'll proportion
to the population than any other r"nn-
tries OF Europe, have very few warships-'
The coast line of the United States Is
nearly as long as the distance from New
, York to Liverpool and return by the or
dinarv course OF steamship travel, and
its protection against any possible attack
has OF recent years secured more atlen
ton than WAS the case before the recon
struction or more practically the cor
-tructiOn OF the present American navy
