IT is said that the electric compass is
having an excellent effect on the sail
ors on ships in which it had been adopt
ed, as the steering in such cases had
markedly improved. The object of this
invention is to Indicate by an electric
bell placed in the captains cabin any
deviation from the course laid down
through the carelessness of the man at
the wheel. This invention is likely to
materially lessen dangers at sea.

down the steps. He was walking alone
although several attorneys came down
behind him. just as he reached the
gateway he staggered, and in
trying to regain his footing
pitched forward before anybody
could reach him, and struck his head
against stone wall. Several gentle
men rushed forward and raised him
from the ground, but before medical as
sistance could be called he died. A few
short gasps were the only indications of
remaining life when the body was raised
from the ground. Apoplexy was un-
doubtedly the cause Of death. AL
though Judge Noyes has not figured
years. he was recognized as one of the
foremost Republicans of Ohio, and re-
t:ined large following through
out the State. His defeat
for reelection as Governor by
William Allen in 1878 seemed
to check his ambition for political
honors. and while he took an active in
terest in politics and held several i'm
portant appointive offices, it was not

then chosen judge of the superior court,
which place he held to the time of his
death.
[Governor Noyes would have been SO years Of
age had he lived until October 8. He was a
native Of Massachusetts, and prior to entering
Dartmouth College, from which he was gradu-
ated in 1857, he worked five years in a printing
office. Removing to this city in 1858 he took the
course in the Ohio Law School and entered
upon practice at the bar. He entered the
Union army in July, 1861, as Major Of the
Thirty ninth Ohio Infantry and served through
campaigns in Missouri, the lower Missis-
sippi river and in Georgia. At the battle Of
Ruff Mill, he lost a leg. He was brevetted q
Brigader- General Of volunteers in April 1865.
The same year he became city solicitor
OF Cincinnati, and little later was
elected probate judge Of Hamilton County. In
1871 he was elected Governor Of Ohio, but at
the succeeding election was defeated by "Old
Bill" Allen. In 1877 President Hayes appointed
General Noyes Minister to France, which post
he resigned in 1881 to resume the practice of the
law. Governor Noyes has not taken a very ac-
tive part in politics in recent years.
