The London Telegraph puts forth rather a
startling theory with reference to iron ships, to
the effect that tie magnetic influence of the
iron hull rend1s the compass unreliable. 1t
will be remembered that the variations in the
needle in the case of the City Of Washington
were ascribed to a large consignment of sewing
machines on board, hut the telegraph regards
the explanation a. unsatisfactory, and says it is
the polarity OF the hull and the continual
changing Of the polarity, which is the most
subtle and unavoidable cause of variation in
the ships needle. 1t illustrates the case with
an iron poker, sudden shock, a blow In the
case of the poker, or the working of the en-
gines or beating Of the waves in the case of
snip, has the property Of reversing the polarity
