During the winter months they have*been busy at their desks In the office at Washington, hut now the reports and maps of the last field sea son are completed and the geologists, the hydrogtphers, the topographers the animal and plant fossil experts, .and other specialists are spreading throughout the United States and In to the vast silent places of AI as a a. There are over five hundred of these field men of science . The to pographers will invade the remote places in many western States that are yet .unaurveyed, and will also push their wa v Into unknown parts Of Alaska. Among the newly dis covered coal beds of 'Arizona. Utah and other states the coal geologist Will busy themselves in the land clas sification work that has proved to be of such great economic value The topographers and hydrogrn- phers are perhaps more widely trav eled than any other of the field men, for they are going to carry their map- making and their study of water power and lakes and streams Into the Hawaiian Islands Phosphate b (is are constantly being discovered and Classified The discovery of another fertilizer, no less than potash, is con fidently hoped for in the great pre historic lak^ basins of the arid re glon, where vast beds of the mineral BO vital to our farmers, were tin doubtedly deposited in the early ages of the world.

Forest fires threat n them .ftud in some districts so num erous are the dangers by which they are surrounded that even the new field assistant thirsting for exper ience, is more than satisfied But seldom are there any real mishaps, for adequate preparations are made to overcome most difficulties. * ^ „ matter of fact, what seems to the first year man daily advent tires, of:- tlme too thrilling, become, after a year or two of servic*', simply a part of the days work, and not of suffi cient importence ta mention. Men _ who have gone through trials and ex perlences In the high Sierra country, along the vast Continental Divide or who have placed their maps i n th< nntroddep sections of Alaska in the hands of ^'explorers'' who come later, can scarce be prevailed upon to ad mit that they have ever had any ‘'ex periences.” Laden with their telescopes, their plane tables and other surveying in struments, the topographers are gen erally first on the field unexplored by urvey men.
