HOW IGNORANCE HAMPERS SCIENCE

THE project OF running geodetic basellne
between Cairo and the Cape of Good
Hope calls attention To the strange hostility
often shown by savage tribes to the opera
tons Of engineers. In India it has been
found that the erection OF pillars and cairns
to mark the site Of surveying stations almost
inevitably attracts the attention of natives
in the vicinity, who subsequently destroy
the monuments. Similar trouble is found
in Africa, South America, and elsewhere.
For this reason it is suggested that the
only way to safeguard the basal points OF
great triangulation in uncivilized lands is to
fix large number OF secondary points. scat
