more before Christ some ingenious China
man invented the mariners compass. A
writer in the China Review, who has been
investigating the subject, now asserts that
the first unmistakeable mention of the com
pass in the Chinese records is not earlier

the instrument undoubtedly became known
In Europe before the return from China OF
