An Evening with DIR. Hill.


The following extract from the Transcript
will be interesting: We had the pleasure few
evenings since of hearing Rev. DR.. Thos Hill
explain to number of gentlemen the construc
ton and operation of his new nautical instru-
ment for determining the position ola ship at
sea- His account of the conception of this in
venton, or rather of the manner in which he
was first led, when junior at college, to at
tempt the solution OF a mathematical problem
by mechanical demonstration, was exceed
ingly interesting. Prof PIERCE requested him
to calculate the course of meteor observed one
night by Prot. Bond This, much to his chag
grin, he was unable to do by figures, but he set
to work and constructed a sort of instrument
few upright sticks on piece of board, with
Threads leading from their tops to various
points on the board-by which he was able to
determine that the meteor was forty-one miles
above the earth, that it was moving at speed
of one hundred and forty miles minute, that
it was first observed at point above the town
of Plymouth and exploded over Cape May!
much surprised to find that be was more de-
lighted with it than he would have been had he
worked out the problem in the usual way. Prof.
Peirce was thus induced to ask DR.. Hill to in
vent an instrument tor determining the occul-
tation of the stars by the moon. The plan of
lay in his bed, and the next morning he went
into carpenters shop and constructe mod
Ell, By this instrument a vast saving of labor
IN determining the time of occultations was eff
fected, SO that his son, a boy of fifteen years,
was enabled by it to make calculations in three
weeks which would have otherwise occupied
eighteen months, and to earn $500 by doing
work which without its aid would have cost
$4,000, and indeed would not have been done
at all For the invention of this instrument
the franklin Institute of Pennsylvania, con-
ferred upon DR.. Hill large gold medal. He
was led to think of his new nautical instrument
| by hearing many years ago, of Capt Thomas
| Ii. Summers new method of determining the
| position of a ship at sea. He thought its pro-
cesses could be worked out by an instrument,
| and the result is the Naotrigon, an instrument
not designed to supercede those now in use for
determining the position of ship at sea, but
as companion to the chronometer and the
| quadrant 1t is constructed on the plan of a
| skeleton globe, and its purpose is to enable a
navigator to determine his longitude from is
dead reckoning, within two given points, and the
line of direction in which he is sailing. 1t saves
great amount of computation by Sumne RS
method. and may often be of great value to the
safety of the ship in enabling navigators to de.
| termine where they are 1t is also of use in
great circle sailing and for various other pur-

ing is an abstract of the report of the Presi-

number of volumes. The various religious
meetings have been as interesting and profita-
BILE as usual, resulting in several conversions

indirect good influences. The reading room

file dailies, SO weeklies and 26 uothlies.

pers, tracts and cards.

and it consequently was very bright and enter

towns making up their courses another year
