.sIMPROVED INSTRUMENT
For Surveying ana Calculating Areas. y


YNHIS Instrument is a semi circular plate, with
Il a needle-box attached to the diameter, and
the circular edge graduated in degrees and there
being movable limb or alidade attached to the
centre of the plate with verniers at both en- 81 the
bearing Of line can be read for any number of
degrees or minutes.
The plate is so divided as to form. with the scale
of the aidade, traverse table of lines instead Of
| numbers, which gives at once the latitude and de-
parture of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascer-
tanning heights and distances as the required dis
lance is read from the plate without tie trouble of
referring to the logarithmic tables.
It gives the horizontal measurement of the lines
Of a Survey; and where there is local attraction
the lines can be traced independent of the needle,
there being two pair of sights, enabling the
veyor to form at once the angle required by the
bearings of the courses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated
on it. and for such work leveling for mill-races
or draining land, it answers every purpose Of the
evel
There is an attachment for solving oblidue tri-
angles, which gives the base and perpendicular of
the triangle, from which the can be ascer-
tanned very readily and it also gives the bearing
and distance Of the closing line in division of land
| The Instrument be used with either the

THE HOLY LAND.

Messenger. Of Paris. Whether there is any
truth in the statement or not, it is Vi inter-
est and significance:
The Suhan and he Jems.-What is said
by our London correspondent with reference
TO the Jews should attract more than ordina-
nv attention. That tue Sultan Of Turkey
should encourage the emigration Of this peo-
pie to Palestine that he should offer to sell
them as much land as they chuose to bny |;
and that he should even hint at such . thing
as willingness TO dispose Of the Mosque Of
Omar for Jewish gold, Is certainly y marvel.
Tie history Of the last few years has abun.
dainty shown that Northumberland has not
only lost much a. 10 the extent 81 its sway,
but also as to its moral power over lis pro.
tessea sotaries. The fuller opening Of com
merce with the West has lberalizei bigotry.
Il has first compelled treer intercourse
with Christians, and then forced upon the
followers Of the Prophet respect for other
religions beside their own. With this has
come, perhaps, less exclusive reliance upon
their own faith a. the essence nf all wisdom
and truth. aud so the title, . intidel dogs.
has come to be more historical than expires.
