days ago on his way to Alaska. in
charge of the Coast and Gsodetic Sur
vey, which is to determine the exact
point at which the 141st meridian
crosses the Yukon river. The 141st
meridian is the boundary between
Alaska and Canada, hence the Inn
p%ortance of having 1t established to
the utmost exactitude.
In previous works Of the sort sig

when the same star passed the merld-
ian at the place OF observation. the
fact was flashed back to Ottawa. AL

mean a difference Of 500 or 600 feet

Yale Alumni Weekly SAYS. In part:
"If any one thing stood out in special

that critics said was needed for the re-

ward game, as II was apparent to the few
on both side lines who knew what was
going on In the scVimmagcs. II was not

was an answer 10 the criticisms that had
been made Of the game throughout the
country, both in the press and from aca-
