MUST WAIT
NO OPINION AVAILABLE NOW,
SAYS TRACEWELL.
Possibility Of Trip of Albatross,
With Scientists Aboard, Waits
Upon Passage Of Bill.

Controller Tracewell OF the Treasury
Department, in the opinion of some IN
terested in the project, has sidestepped
decision as to whether scientists of the
American Museum of Natural History
may accompany the fisheries steamship
Albatross on her voyage to the south At
lantic and the antarctic regions, next
September.
The controller, In his reply to the Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor, states
that he Is not certain that the appropria-
tons for the fiscal year 1911. which must
be used for the purpose, If proper to be
used. will be the same as for the present
fiscal year. But when the appropria-
lions for the next fiscal year have passed
and become a law, If the Secretary still
has doubts as to the legality OF their
use for the purpose and VIII reSuDmlt
his inquiry an advance decision will be
made.
DIR. Osborn's Suggestion.
DR.. Henry Fairchild Osborn, president
of the American Museum of Natural
History, addressed a letter to Secretary
Nagel, December IL last, suggesting the
cruise of the AlbatToss in south Atlantic
waters, offering to donate on the part of
the museum the coal necessary 10 uc
used. or a part of it, and asking If some
scientists might accompany the expedl-
ton and their subsistence be furnished
by his department
He advanced the Information that on
some remote islands in the Antarctic sea
herds of fur seals, perhaps more plentl-
full than on the Alaskan coast, are known
to exist. He also called attention to the
fact that four species of whales of value
in commerce were Known to thrive in
those waters, as well as sea elephants,
whose oil is an important commercial
commodity.
1t is desirable, too, he commended. that
scientific Investigations be made TO as
certain the conf1guration of the ocean
bed, to learn something of the life in the
ocean abysseS and to ascertain the dis
tribution of the lane. masses. This infor-
NATION, he contended, has commercial
as well as a scientific value, and for that
reason the work of the scientists 1t was
ton on the Aibatross would be good re-
turn value for their subsistence
Nagel Asked Tracewell.
Secretary Nagel is said to have been
impressed with the request In order to
determine If it might be legally granted.
he asked Controller Tracewell for a de-
cision.
Scientists have frequently accompanied
previous expeditions under similar cOndi-
lions, notably those known as the Agas-
siz expeditions. The controller, however,
has declined to assume that conditions
two months hence, when the appropria-
lions for the bureau of fisheries may
have been voted by Congress. will be the
same as now, and consequently evaded
an opinion on the subject.
DIR. Osborn will shortly be Informed
to this effect.

A Thistle PIuCked

Die when we may, 1 want 1t said1o m,
oy those who knew best, that 1 alwaY,
plucked thistle and planted a flower wbtI
/ thought a flower would grow."-Lincoln.
Because 1t was noxious weed
That might a1ar watt many seed
stopped and plucked Il from the mead.
And then the earth, that else were bare,
l spaded and enriched with care,
And set a favorite flower there;
beauteous flower, 1 thought, would blow
And bid mems eyes with glsdness glow
Its seed afar at last to SOW.
And soft within myself 1 said:
Perhaps long after I am dead
Shall beauty all abroad be she'd
AYE, beauty and sweet fragrance, too,
Because where once a thistle grew,
A lovely flower now meets the view"
Within my heart in love twas shrined,
And sun and rain and dew were kind,
Yet slowly unto death It pinned.
And surely tn at last It lay
A llfeless thing on lifeless clay
No more to rise and greet the day.
Tempted I am sometimes to grieve
For those sweet flowers i wished to give
Unto the world, long, long to live.
Yet somewhat compensates, indeed,
The thought that / forbade a weed
To live and she'd abroad its seed.
