  ties 
  of 
  the 
  Institution 
  can 
  continue 
  without 
  serious 
  danger 
  of 
  

   lessening 
  the 
  efficiency, 
  although 
  expansion 
  cannot 
  be 
  hoped 
  for. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  total 
  sum 
  appropriated 
  for 
  1916, 
  somewhat 
  more 
  than 
  

   one-half 
  ($854,700) 
  was 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  special 
  Departments 
  recog- 
  

   nized 
  as 
  constituting 
  the 
  chief 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Institution. 
  In 
  addi- 
  

   tion, 
  $120,000 
  was 
  allotted 
  for 
  the 
  minor 
  grants, 
  and 
  $74,000 
  for 
  

   publication, 
  giving 
  the 
  remainder 
  to 
  administration, 
  insurance, 
  

   and 
  the 
  reserve 
  fund 
  (the 
  latter 
  receives 
  $250,000). 
  During 
  the 
  

   year, 
  thirty-five 
  volumes 
  have 
  been 
  issued, 
  having 
  an 
  aggregate 
  

   of 
  about 
  9,500 
  octavo 
  and 
  2,400 
  quarto 
  pages. 
  Since 
  its 
  begin- 
  

   ning 
  in 
  1902, 
  the 
  impressive 
  total 
  of 
  three 
  hundred 
  and 
  thirty- 
  

   four 
  volumes, 
  with 
  91,000 
  pages, 
  have 
  been 
  issued. 
  

  

  The 
  administrative 
  reports 
  which 
  occupy 
  the 
  first 
  fifty 
  pages 
  

   are 
  followed 
  by 
  special 
  reports 
  — 
  each 
  in 
  detail 
  and 
  full 
  of 
  inter- 
  

   est 
  — 
  from 
  the 
  Directors 
  of 
  the 
  special 
  Departments, 
  eleven 
  in 
  num- 
  

   ber, 
  in 
  their 
  different 
  lines 
  of 
  work; 
  a 
  summary 
  of 
  the 
  contents 
  

   of 
  recent 
  publications 
  closes 
  the 
  volume. 
  It 
  is 
  interesting 
  to 
  note 
  

   the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  in 
  the 
  Geophysical 
  Laboratory, 
  under 
  

   Dr. 
  A. 
  L. 
  Day 
  ; 
  also 
  of 
  the 
  Mt. 
  Wilson 
  Solar 
  Observatory, 
  under 
  

   Dr. 
  George 
  E. 
  Hale, 
  where 
  the 
  100-inch 
  reflecting 
  telescope 
  has 
  

   now 
  reached 
  essential 
  completion. 
  In 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Ter- 
  

   restrial 
  Magnetism, 
  Dr. 
  L. 
  A. 
  Bauer 
  tells 
  how 
  the 
  non-magnetic 
  

   ship 
  "Carnegie" 
  has 
  recently 
  completed 
  an 
  extended 
  voyage 
  in 
  

   the 
  sub-antarctic 
  region 
  with 
  important 
  results. 
  The 
  total 
  length 
  

   of 
  the 
  cruises 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Carnegie 
  " 
  and 
  its 
  predecessor 
  the 
  " 
  Galilee 
  " 
  

   now 
  amounts 
  to 
  224,000 
  nautical 
  miles, 
  as 
  strikingly 
  portrayed 
  on 
  

   a 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  world 
  on 
  the 
  Mercator's
