The general continental coast line Of the
United States measures 10. 400 miles. That
figure, however, Is expanded to 9o.9SJ
miles when the bays. sounds, CULTS. etc,
are taken into consideration In addition
must be added, also. the insular posses
sions having $3.50 miles of coast line and
1880 miles of detailed shore line. In
order accurately to chart the conditions
in connection with the vast area 1T has
been necessary to make nearly 800 sep
arate charts and maps. and prepare more
than twenty volumes of Coast Pilots.
Not only does the coast and geodetic
survey carry on the duties assigned to it
by Congress. but in addition. experiments
are continually under way in connection
with new Instruments, perfecting those
In USE etc. The instrument division of
the survey includes a repair shop, TO
which are brought all instruments which
are out of gear, and here they are read
justed by experts. And in a room adj
joining are carried on such experiments
as may lead to improvements AS a re-
suit of this line of WORK instruments de-
vised there have been adopted by national
European surveys.
An example of what a single piece of
work may include can be cited in the
Philippines. The archipelago comprises
Bal islands and iSletS The charting of
these was one of the first duties under
taken in the islands by this country, and
in 1900 "a suboff1ce of the survey was
opened in Manila and operations were be-
gun-often in regions where the military
were actively engaged in SuppreSsing the
AglinaldO insurrection. The Importance
of this work was Immediately recognized
a
co-operated. with the result that at the
present time the work is being carried on
by a force including six steamers and
several chartered launches. In the prep
aration Of the chart drawings "a large
force of native craftsmen are employed,
although the engraving and printing is
carried on at the office here.
In any work such as this, that extends
from the Antilles to the China seas, and
from the fogs of Bering sea to waters
within five degrees Of the equator. a vast
network of organization is necessary, as
well as sufficient funds. and for the pur-
pose of maintaining the United States

Tide Telling
Machine.

given pace III the WOiIO.
The machine which the survey has. con-
structed represents fifteen years work.
This tide predicting machine is one of
two in the possession of the survey, the
other having been built In 1882 by an
official of that office Only four. others of
any merit exist, of which England pos
sesses two. The one at the survey, how
ever, is acknowledged to be the best in
the world.
In order to perfect this apparatus a
minute and prolonged study of actual
tidal conditions IN the ports of the world
was necessary. Charts We're made by
means Of float to which was attached a
pencil When the water rose. the pencil
did likewise, and described an upward
curve. and vice versa when the tide fell.
All the charts so obtained were as
sembled and studied. Then came mathe-
matcal deductions in connection with the
machine. The idea was to perfect ma
chine which. when certain dialS were set
to represent conditions at any given port
in the world. would. when the machine
was started. predict what the tides would
be in' advance. always taking as granted
that the weather conditions are normal
That was accomplished, but no appara-
tus can predict storms in connection with
the tides.

Seodetic survey is Otto Fl. T,ttmann. I'm

largely to the present success which my
church has attained. However, l have
ceased to be church goer' because I
have felt that there has been lacking
in the churches that progressive spirit
which should animate them. In nine
cases out of ten the church is a mediae-

This fall has seen the entrance into the

am not an advocate of dance halls or
