the woods are full Of hunters and The woods
men will soon be at work in earnest. cases Of
being lost in the forest will be heard OF quite
frequently if former years are to be taken as
examples. All who go into the woods may not
always take a compass, although they are very
convenient articles, but about everybody does,
or should, carry watch. The hunter who
does SO also has a compass. The matter is ex-
planned in this way: Point the hour hand to
the sun and the south is exactly half way be-
tween the hour and the figure XII on the
watch. For instance. suppose 1t is O'Clock.
Point the hand indicating to the sun and III
on the watch is exactly south. Suppose 1t Is
5 O'Clock. Point the hand indicating s TO the
sun and the figure Y on the watch is due south.
II all hunters and woodsmen who carry
watches will remember the facts above quoted
they will have no difficulty in finding their
way If they get lost, as frequently happens,
especially to those who are unfamiliar with
the forest.
