VARIATION OF TIE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.

Tbs Msguetic Needle has been used very generally
in this country for determining the directions bear
ing of ines in ordinary land surveys. The results
given by it, particularly those of the earlier surveys
ere often very unsatisfactory, so much that msuy
disputes about land boundaries involve siuply the
question of magnetic bearing of lines. The difficult
ties are from two sources the of previous sur
veyos and peculisities Of the needle. For the hFs
there is 10 general .emedy but many "i iHs "'he"-
ties in the use Of the needle are now M lerstOod.
The direction Of the magnetic meridian and Gomez
ouently Of any inc referred tot Indicated needle
il constantly changing IL movements vary both in
direction ard amount and are ususly Classified under
the head. irregular, dursl and secular. Apart from
tie scientific interest which knowledge of these
changes part cularly Of the last commonly called Var'
sicn posstsies it is f great practical importance to
rgneers surveyors and lawyers, TO all Interested in
the bearing of lines.
Scores Of volumes Of observations investigations,
theories and speclatoIs have been printed the m,g
retc needle vet Lot practical surveyor in five has
sny reliable fact or even definite ideas about the suo
iect. Our American text books Surveying, With,
perhaps one or two exceptions, either give facts A.
oil about variation, or worse, give incorrect ones
TIE practical problem is: Having given the msg-
notc bearing Ct line and the date a. which it WAS
taken, to find the bearing of the ,me line at some
other date. To DO this wart the variation or
chsnge IN decnation ard its direction for the time be-
tween the dates. This variation, applied with its proper
sign to the one bearing correction will give the
bear0g at the required date.
Tie following fact, were kindly communicated 10
answer to inquiry by Mr. Charles A. Schoit, assistant
in United States Coast Survey, aud are Published by
