Maine,s Gum Industry.

What John Wesley WAS to England
Francis Asbury was to America, and it
is an honor due that the centenary Of
his death. March 81. 1916, is to be OBJ
served throughout the land by appro-
pirate commemorative services.
In Washington the celebration of the
Asbury centenary ill take on especial
Significance. as the occasion will bring
forward with particular prominence
the monument which is to he erected
here to the great itinerant evangelist.
and also because the President of the
United States will be present and Will
deliver address.
II ever there was a pioneer in the
new world who deserved the honor and
recognition of a hero, that man was
Bishop Francis Asbury, the devout dis
ciple of John Wesley. who spent nearly
half Il century and rode nearly 100000
miles in teaching the word of God and
inculcating the doctrines of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of America 1t
was founded largely through his in
strumentality and he served as its first
bishop.
Francis Asbury was born in England
In l745. AT the age of sixteen he was
brought under the influence of the Wes-
leys and was taken into the travelling
ministry by John Wesley six years
later When. in August. 171I, Wesley
issued a call for missionaries to the
new world. Asbury offered himself and
month later saw him set sail from
the port of Bristol. arriving seven
weeks after in Philadelphia. From the
beginning of his career in America
until few months before his death he
kept journal of his movements, and
this diary forms an outline of the
course of Methodism in this country
almost from it's inception until his
death saw the Methodist Episcopal
Church firmly established.
Like st. Francis of old. this pilgrim
had neither purse nor scrip. and when
he was ready to embark upon his jour
ney to the new world he found himself
without suitable equipment for the
voyage. To use the words of his own
diary: When l came to Bristol l had
not one penny of money, but the Lord
soon opened the hearts of friends. who
supplied me with clothes and f1O.'

ture. his own words are again wit

as well as to give concrete expression
to its desire for still greater opportu
nifty of protecting and safeguarding
human life and property. are among the
objects of the coming celebration.
The service of the United States coast
and geodetic survey is the greatest
service of its kind in the world. 1t is
also true that the quality of it's work
is as high as its extent is vast. The
surveying and charting of the Philip
pines is by itself a far greater task
than is imposed on France on all her
own marine borders in Europe. The
surveying of the Hawaiian islands. of
Samoa. Guam and Porto Rico is
greater task than is that OF like work
upon the European coast of Germany.
The United States coast survey covers
in lineal distance not less than 100000
miles of coast line. The problem pre-
sented by the coast of Alaska is a very
much larger problem than that pre-
sented by the united coasts of Great
Britain and Ireland. There are $4,000
miles of water front that must be sur
veyed in Alaska alone.

Upon the service of the coast and
geodetic survey, indirectly, at least,
every land title in the whole United
States depends for its measurements.
The geodetic work of the survey in
wolves primary triangulatio and pre-
else leveling of the entire domain of
the nation. Primary triangulation is
the process of determining the correct
distance between points. Precise level
ing is the process of determining the
exact elevations with reference to the
sea 1t is necessary to have both pri-
mary triangulation and precise leveling
in each state for the framework of
state and county boundary surveys, for
national and local Typographical, drain
age, irrigation. mineral and other sur
veys. and for various engineering oper-
ations. The necessity for this primary
control is accepted as a fact in view
of experience. Each of the long arcs
of primary trianSulation and each of
the lines of precise leve1ing traverse
several states.

revolutionary conditions of the time. He
served here as professor of mathematics
at West Point, which post he reln-

and conduct of this branch of the work

him while absent from his home on his

"The special work OF the coast and
geodetic survey has been the guarding
of our coastal waters. and very natural
ly we began where there was the great
est need. and have since followed the
trend of our countryS growth. The
eastern waters were the first work. and
we gradually came down the Atlantic
coast. and now are caring for the waters
of all our possessions, including the
Philippines and Alaska.
There are several important factors
In our need for closer and more correct
surveys of our harbors. bays and coastal
waters, and for the need of greater as
surance of safety at greater depths to
the navigator and steamship owner than
heretofore. These are that more vessels
of deeper draft plying our waters:
harbors that were not thought of few
years ago are now developed and are
widely used by our great fishing fleets.
And then the submarines. which require
ten fathoms of water in which to oper-
dtep eV1ueHCe an TedSoI why
a greater range of correct surveys are
necessary
Because locality is surveyed once
does not mean that the work is finish
ed. There are great changes brought
about due to tides. currents and the
hand of man. The contour and physi-
cal conditions of the bottom are
different in New England and southern
waters. which difference exists also
between southern Pacific and Alaskan
waters. We want TO assure safety to
all vessels that ply the waters of our
coast.
'"Fhe exports and imports of Alaska
last year amounted to $4,000. 900. All
of this trade goes and comes by water.
This valuable government asset is de-
pendent largely upon uncharted seas
and the resulting loss has been ap-
palling. 1t will doubtless surprise you
to know that only 10 per cent of this.
great territory's waters have been
finally surveyed. In other words, $500
of the $4,000 miles of the coast line can
only be said to be satisfactorily pro-
tected. We should have larger funds
to make surveys which will render this
new development effective and profit
able.
