been chosen from all the world as the most
worthy to receive this great honor:
"It Is especially pleasant In this age,
when international relations are of high i'm
portance when the methods of modern ap-
piled science have brought all nations, how
ever geographically remote, into close con-
tact, to know that In science there are no
international boundaries. And no pleasant
er proof Of this catholic spirit could we'll
be given that that this fine prize, one of the
highest that can be conferred by scien-
tIfic body, which has been founded by an
Englishman, has been awarded by a French
man and has been won by an American.
Mr.. Schott's ability and attainments have
been widely recognized by learned bodies

Mr. Schott barely escaped. a couple of
tai reduction scheme styled the "honor
rolf of the Treasury Department. The
scheme contemplated reducing all clerks
or officers who had committed the indiscre-
tion Of reaching the age of seventy years
to $500 year, with take-H-easy privt-
leges.
He was for a time much worried at the
prospect. as he was then about seventy
Ave years Of age. Fortunately. however.
about this period occurred the meeting Of
the French Academy of Sciences, with the
result recorded above.
He returned home relieved from the fear
of the honor roll reduction in salary.
Mr.. Schott's case showed that the period
of approximation cannot be determined by
any hard and fast rule. and that ii the
scheme had been applied to Mr.. SchOtt
after nearly forty years OF faithful service
the United States Treasury Department
would have been deprived of the greatest

schott's work as chief of the computing d.
vision:
with the close of the year Assistant
Charles A. Schott. who for nearly fifty
years has been the distinguished and ener-
getic chief of the computing division of the
coast and goedetic survey. retired from
that important position in order to devote
his whole time to special scientific work.
Under Mr.. Schotts careful supervision
and training has developed q corps OF
skilled computers equaled by no other
scientific bureau. To his labors, perhaps
more than to any other one mans, Is due
the high scientific character of the results
which the survey has given to the world.
The completion last year OF the great arc.
begun over quarter of century ago,
marks an epoch in the history of the d.
vision, and the beginning of the triangula-
tion on the 9Sth meridian would seem to
be a fitting occasion for relieving Mr..
Schott of the burden he has borne for so
many years.
His official career has been coincident
with the development Of the survey. and his
untiring zeal and fidelity have done much
to bring about its present standard"
Awarded the Wilde Prize.

and vast mental resource so eminently
shown throughout his career, was thus
recognized by Superintendent A. D. Bache
at early day.
This assignment was most fortunate for
the interest of science In general, and par
ticularly so for the advancement OF the
work undertaken by the survey. In the
computing division the fundamental data
obtained in the field is digested and dis
cussed for publication, and this data, after
passing through the division. furnishes the
foundation upon which the work Of the
survey Is built up.
A wonderful opportunity was thus offered
TO man capable Of distinguishing himself
and this opportunity was seized by Mr..
Schott and utilized to the fullest extent
The results Of his painstaking labor are
shown In the numerous publications bear

superintendent and in scientific journals
Mr.. Schott's regular duties In the office
were interrupted from time to time by as
sgnments to special duty in the field. AS
early as 1866 the records show that he was
In charge of the magnetic work Of the sur
vey, and In 1863. during the time Of the
national peril, he was engaged in survey
ing the defenses Of Washington.
In 1859 he took a party to Illinois to OBJ
serve the total eclipse Of the sun, and in
1870 went to Cantania. Sicily. as a member
Of the superintendent party to observe
an eclipse OF the sun.
Assigned to Arc Measurements.
At various times during the absence OF
the assistant in charge of the survey office
he acted In his place.
Mr.. Schott continued In charge Of the
computing division until December 81, 1899
and on January l, 1900, was relieved Of this
duty and assigned to the discussion Of the
arc measurements In the United States re-
