All Watches Compasses.

A few days ago was standing by an
American gentleman when expressed
wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north. /
asked him whether he had q compass
attached to his watch. 'sAll watches, .
he replied, 'sare compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hou1
and the figure 12 on the watch. For in
stance, suppose that it is o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun
and 2 on the watch is exactly south.
Suppose that it is o'clock. Point the
hand indicating to the sun and the

American friend was quite surprised
that did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly was ignorant of a thing
that every ono else knew, and happening
to meet Mr.. Stanley. asked that emf
nent traveller whether he was aware OF
this simple mode of discovering the
points of the compass. He said that he

Impure rce.

The Massachusetts, board of health has
examined 76 samples of water and $3.50
samples of ice from 58 localities, with
the result Of showing that, contrary to
general belief, ice may be nearly as i'm
pure as the water from which it forms.
The capitalization of the water forces
out the color, salt, and most of the mat
ter in solution, and clear ice from pol
luted sources may be comparatively free
from impurities and the probability of
hiding disease germs.
But in snow ice and ice formed by
flooding the Impurities become entan-
gled, SO that freezing gives no purifca-
ton. The public is warned by the board,
therefore, that ice is unsafe for domestic
purposes when obtained from o source
polluted by sewage beyond that which
would be allowable in drinking water,
and that in general it is much safer to
use for drinking water and for placing
in contact with food that portion Of the
ice that is clear. Traveller.

TIE FAcULTY--THE EXPERIMENTAL
STATION ANALYSIS OF FERTILIZERS,
ETC.
The college is located three-fourths
Of a mile from College Station, Prince
Georges county, on the Washington
branch of the b. & o. railroad. Mum.
erous trains daily afford easy communi.
cation with all points. College Hill,
on which stand the principal college
buildings, is beautiful eminence,
overlooking wide stretches Of country.
The surrounding farm embraces two
hundred and eigbty.six acres. forty Of
which are woodland, and large part Of
the remainder is under cultivation.
The conformation Of the farm and d.
versity of its sol: offer excellent oppor-
tunities for varied agricultural opera
tions, and this together with the beauty
and healthfulness Of the site, adapts the
location to the purposes of an educa.
tional institution Of this character The
city Of Washington is only eight miles
distant. This proximity to the national
capital gives the college exceptional
advantages In the valuable aid which it
derives from the Libraries and scientific
collections of The different departments
Of the government.
THE MAIN BUILDING,
Standing in the midst Of a fine grove
of forest trees, is a massive brick struc.
ture Of six stories, one hundred and
twenty feet long and tifty-four feet
wide. It possesses accommodation for
one hundred and fifty students, apart
ments for professors, class rooms,
chapel, museum, library, reading room,
dining rooms. parlor, and the necessary
offices. The dormitories are spacious,
well ventilated and heated by steam.
Well.water forced to the tanks in the
attic is supplied to the several floors by
system of pipes. Careful provision is
made for the maintenance Of the proper
sanitary condition of the building, and
near by are the gymnasium, the presi-
dents residence and other buildings.
The agricultural experimental station
has its offices and working quarters in
the brick building formerly known as
Rossburgh, which is directly on the
old Baltimore and Washington turn
pike road, and about a hundred rods
from the college.
The college has between thirty and
forty students, decrease compared
with former years, but the free scholar
ships will increase the number. Under
the present management they discon-
tinued the preliminary departments,
although there is now some coaching
done In the college. The course Of
study is thorough one, and more at
tention is given to such branches Of
learning al are related to agriculture

their servants to secure their back wages, -
said the clerk Of district court the other

with the wives of the rich men. Asgirls they
