NEW FIELDS FOR YOUNG AMERICANS.

| Modern industry, science and inven-
tion are constantly opening new fields
of enterprise for young Americans, new
lines of business which our fathers
never thought of. Some of them con-
tain great possibilities and powerful
attractions for the young men of to-
day; all of them are worth consider
ing by the boy who is just beginning to
ponder the fascinating question, What
career?"
What are the professions that did not
exist generation ago, the new fields
in which there is perhaps less competi-
ton than in the more trodden paths of
industry, in which the young Amer
lean car hope to make reputation
and possibly a fortune?
| That Is the question which 1 put to
President Crocker of the American So
ciety of Engineers, a successful man
who feels the deepest interest in the
plans and prospects of Young America.
We'll" said he, "the one agent that
| is doing most to provide new careers
| for young men is undoubtedly cleo
tricity. Today there are hundred men
| engaged in one branch or other of cleo
trical work where there was one gen.
Grafton ago. And the field is not full
yet. The demand for electrical en-
gineers keeps well up to the supply.
The application of electricity in indus
trial affairs is still in its infancy and
it will continue to increase and broaden
in the next quarter century as it has in
the past
There are four great fields Of engi-
neering which electricity is coming to
control and in which young men may
find many opportunities. One is min
ing. Electricity has revolutionized the
methods employed in mining within
the past few years and well-trained
electrical mining engineers have little
difficulty in obtaining positions Prob
ably the largest salaries paid to any
professional men today are drawn by
men who combine an expert knowl-
edge of mining and electricity. Marine
engineering is another field in which
knowledge of electricity is coming to be
an essential to success. In the man.
agement of ships, and especially Of
ships of war, electricity is becoming
more and more important. To the
young American who is seeking for a
career that will be credit to himself
and service to his country I cannot
do better than to recommend that he
fit himself by a thorough training in
electricity for the naval service of the
United States.
Railway work and electrical trans
mission, including telephone and tele-
graph work, and power transmission
offer the most extensive field to the
young electrician. Electricity is be-
ing extended from street railroads to
the longer lines and the transmission
systems are growing all the time. The
majority of men in this work now are
young men and the various companies

by the United States Geological Survey,
in pursuance of a recent joint resolu-
ton of Congress. 1t can be had for the
asking.
The map, which is on a scale OF 81
miles to the inch. is specially designed
for the use of miners, prospectors, and
travellers in Alaska. The region repre-
sented extends from Behring Strait
eastward to the Rocky Mountains and
British Columbia, and from the bath
parallel northward to the Arctic Ocean,
embracing the drainage basin of the
Yukon River from its mouth to its
most distant headwaters. The princi-
pal topographic features, as plateaus,
mountain regions, and valleys, are in
dicated. More is known of the valleys
and regions bordering the navigable
drainage ways than Of other portions
of the country. Back from the rivers
lie extensive rugged tracts still COM
paratively uneXplored.
The lines of magnetic variation are
laid down. The Fort ST. Michael mill
tary reservation, on the coast, is out
lined. The center of this reservation
is ST. Michael Island, and 1t includes
the great delta of the Yukon, the head
of Norton Sound, and Golofnin Bay.
The map includes two smaller, local,
larger-scale maps one of the Forty
mile and the Klondike goldmining re-
gionS, the other of the mountainous
area between the coast and the interior
above Lynn Canal, showing the passes,
routes, and trails leading from tide wa
ter to the headwaters of the Yukon.
1t is in part colored, showing at a
glance by color and by name where
gold and coal have been found, in both
the interior and the coastal regions,

tions Of the Fortymile and Birch Creek

the greatest attraction for young men.
In all the universities and technical
schools the course in electrical engi-
neering is the one that Is most crowded
while science. especially chemistry, is
all the time growing at the expense of
the liberal arts. Nearly one thousand
engineers, electrical, mechanical, civil,
are graduated from the various schools
every year. The very newest profess
sions, such as forestry, scientific agri-
culture and sanitary engineering, have
scarcely begun to attract young men
because they have been comparatively
unknown. Perhaps the boy who is in
doubt, If he reads this article, may find
his career in one of them.
For the boy who wants to 60 into
business, too, new fields are constantly
opening If he is wide-awake enough to
see them. There is a young man in
New York who has an interest in the
largest rug importing house in the
country. He began business several
years ago when rugs were little used
in this country by importing antique
Turkish and Persian rugs which he
sold on this side of the Atlantic at 200
per cent. profit. The rug business has
grown enormously since then and prof
it's are not so large, but this young man
already has a comfortable fortune be-
cause he saw a new field and was the
first to occupy it.
Another new business is that Of the
advertising manager. Years ago the
proprietor of each store wrote out his
own advertisements, so far as he used
any. Now the biggest firms, such as

UNHAPPY FATE

different interest and quite number
Of his wise men are busily at work at
all times trying to learn new facts
about all kinds of fish, as to their hab-

fish, which is done after the fashion

A curious would-be rival to the troll

made its appearance. 1t is one of the
most novel applications of the bicycle
to the transportation problem that has
yet been announced. The inventor calls
it an elevated track and cycle, and
claims that it can easily be constructed
and operated at an expense far less
than the trolley and with almost no
danger of accident.

two wheels with grooved edges, ar

ton, and in order to show the rate of
growth of the fish the frequency of it's
spawning and the extent to which the
individual fish migrate. The particular
species of fish selected for this expert
ment is the cod, and the first one cap
tured since the tagged fish were turned
out of the tank into Vineyard Sound
was caught not long ago by fisher
man off the Jersey coast, just south of
that low spit of land at the entrance
pf New York harbor known as Sandy
Hook.

interest. Two hundred cod, Weighing
from six to twenty pounds each, were
tagged at Woods Holl and then re-
leased in the open waters Of Vineyard
Sound. The tags were attached to
the dorsal and anal fins, as shown in
the picture.
There has been any amount of Gu
riosity on the part of the employees of
the Fish Commission as to what would
be the result of the tagging process.
Thus far the only tagged fish known
to have been caught is the one referred
to captured near Sandy Hook This

missing and so was one tag. The fish,
in fact, presented every evidence of
having been through pitched battle.
The only way this state of affairs can
be satisfactorily explained is by the
old theory that to ensure a fish's de-
struction by its own comrades, one
had but to fasten something to it so
firmly that it could not be rubbed off
He seems to become mark and butt
of ridicule among his kind. Perhaps
this is the explanation of the plight of
the Sandy Hook cod. And this one fact
may prevent the experiment of the Fish
Commission from accomplishing the re-
suits so earnestly desired.
