VARIATIONS OF THE CoMPAss.-The loss to
Great Britain by shipwrecks, appears from
carefully prepared statistics, TO amount annu-
allv to between 500 to coo ships, or about
three vessels every two days. The cause has
been attributed, in great measure, to misdI-
rections of the compass, produced by the at
tractive power of the iron used IN the con-
struction of the vessels, as well as the fun
nels, tanks. and guns employed in men-of-war-
The result varies in different cases, and a
remedy can only be obtained by direct eXper-
iment on board each ship. A"conpass OBJ
