AS TO A CAREER IN SCIENCE
rxeelIent Opportunitie For Youns Men. Hut No Great Money
 Reward.

r.. r,An,bers of the Illinois State Academy of Science recently discussed the opportunities for young men 70 earn a living In the various prancnes of science On the whole. they tneusnt tho opportunities are excellent, tnousn they ofYer nothing very great m the way of financial compensation.
 Iohn cs. Coulter, the weli-known pro- lessor of botany, said that the demand for trained botanists exceeds the supply Tha moat extensive employer of young botanists in this country Is the Ohitee states government. The bureaus ot tha Department of Agriculture are nos vnt ahie to obtain all the men they neea who are adequately trained In the various branches of botany.
 Tine market for teachers of botany is hrisk and good teachers who are doe- tors of philosophy in botany command beginning salries which average about 50 per cent more than those onered eight years ago ..-.. ... ina philippines, where trained man ia wanted in avery province to take charge of the educational slde oI botany especially from the standpoint of agricultural possibilities.
 Prof. ". A. Moves. of the UniVefslty of Illinois, said that twenty-nve years ago very few chemists were employed 
 To-day chemists are required not oniy in inc large establishments where steel la nroduced. but also In Iron toundfles and factories of all kinds. About 5000 chemists are now employed In the United States. Not long ago nearly al chemists here were engaged ln IeAsh ing, while the majority or them to-u@s are working in industrial lines.
 or Rain. who is at the head or the ullnois Geological Survey. said that many railroads and mining and de- vaIonnaent companies now employ one or more geologists. Their empioy- nent in private enterprises is crlpplhs the survey work of the government hacauaa private companies offer higher ssisries and draw away many of the hAst men. Tho number of professional eaoioxIsts are still connected with the oHSeiai surveys. The greatest ot these is tha United States Geological survey u1hinh in the last season kept ninety three geological parties Tn the heto' each including from one to three seoto- gists. ,,o., |. ,s much easier now for zooloEists to get good places than it was decade ago. If Ia dlfhcult to find competent men needed for geological posts In schools .nTseuns. and the bureaus of the gem eral and State governments which re- ouire entomologists and other zooloki- csI workers, It is believed that the hrisit demand for trained zoologists will continue in the next decade.
 The prospect is good that competent man of science will have better oppor- tunities in the future than ever betore to earn a comfortable living, Capable ana industrious workers make good living. but are rarely able to aecumu- is.a waaith. Probably men of science vvt,I always have to be content with relatively poor financial return for their work
