The Compass in the Watch.

A correspondent of the London Truth
sends the following: "a few days ago !
was standing by an American gentleman,
when ! expressed a 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 had q compass on his
watch. All Watches he replied. ARE COM
passes Then he explained to me how this
was, Point the hour hand to the sun, and
the south is exactly half way between the
hour and the figure XII, on the watch. For
instance, suppose that it is o'clock. Point
the hour hand indicating to the sun and II
on the watch is exactly south. Suppose that
it is O'Clock, point the hand indicating 8
to the sun, and the figure x on the watch is
due south. My American friend was quite
surprised that did not know this. Thinking
that very possibly was ignorant of thing
that every one else knew, and happening to
meet Mr.. Stanley, asked that eminent
traveller whether he was aware of this Sim
pie mode of discovering the points of the
compass. He said that he had never heard
of it. presume, therefore, that the world 10

proud of having been the home of the inven-
tor of the compass. I do not know what
town boasts of my American friend as citi-
Zen." H

This angered him, and as he passed

that its revenues have fallen of.

The mummy, excep, by arch@olo.
gis's, has been generally regarded as
q curious, but useless, piece of brio
a-brac. He is interesting, but here
tofore he was regarded as Of no earth
~ account. But since it has been
discovered that the wrappings of
mummies are made OF manuscripts,
the sarcophagus becomes a mine Of
literary aud historical treasures.
Great interest was excited some
months ago BY the discovery Of a
manuscripts supposed TO have been
Aristo,Ie's "RerubIic," for which the
scholars Of the world have long been
looking in vain. The recen. discov-
cries made by Mr.. Petrie are even
more remarkable, aud promise more
than the finding Of any isolated man
uscrIpt.
.The record Of what has been nc.
complished by Mr.. Petrie and his as
sociatss,' says the Christian Union,
"has been prepared and published by
Professor Mahafiy, Of Dublin, assisted
by Professor Sayce. I, appears that
the mnch-tslked Of discovery 10
Greece Of = treatise by Aristotle Is at
least rivaled, II not surpassed, by the
finding 10 Egypt OF such literary and
classical treasures as a fragment Of
Plato's 'Phmdo,' and a part OF the
last act Of play or tragic poem by
Earipides, which has long been sought
Tor but never found. Still another
manuscript contains thir.
tv-6ye hexamcter verses OF the IIad,
materially from the earliest
hitherto known. Many
other fragments and some legal doc
uments have been discovered, dating
usually in the third century before
Christ, and throwing a strong and
new light on the social condition OF
Egypt at that time. The way in
which these discoveries were made
is curious In the extreme. Mr.. Pet
rie found out that q considerable
number Of mummy cases were made,
NOT Of wood or papier mache, but of
sheets OF manuscript pasted one over
The other until the proper thickness
was obtained. After repeated trials,
he was able to strip of these sheets
OF manuscript, one by oae, to cleanse
and restore them, and finally to make
them legible. 1t would be hard to
lay where the possibilities OF future
discoveries in this direction
may end. There seems to be opened

RoME, Sept. ga grand and i'm.
posing religious ceremony took place
this morning in ST. Peters church
For some days past the pope has
been receiving bodies OF religions
pilgrims from various countries and
the city is fllei with the devout,
many OF whom have travelled long
distances TO pay honor 10 the earthly
bead OF the Catholic church. When
Il was announced the pope in person
would celebrate low mass this morn.
ing great cagerness was manifested
BY throags Of the pilgrims to attend
the services. SIXTY thousand persons
were in the church ai $40 o'clock.
The pope was carried TO tho throne
., the ponti6ed altar. Ha was attirrd
in pure white vessmcnis and wore
upon his head the popsl tiara. He
earned in either hand fans which re.
sembled beautiful palm leaves. As
the head Of the procession entered
the church, the trumpeters OF the
Swiss guard hcraided the Popes ap
proach. As the pope was borne
along above the heads Of the assem-.
bled thousands he raised his hands
and bestowed his bencd,ctions right
aud left until he reached the altar.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
