Variations OF the Compass.

Why the magnetic needle points north
ward has never been satisfactorily de-
termined, but what perplexes and puz-
zles scientists most is its persistent varia-
tins. By observations in Paris it was
found that in 1851 the magnetic needle
varied 2 dogs. and 80 minis, to the west
ia 1865, less than 200 years later, 10 dogs.
and 50 minis. to the west. In London,
between 1880 and 1892, the needle varied
from 10 degs. 10 minis. east to 6 dogs.
west. In Dakota the average variation
Is 3 degs. and 80 Minis. east; in Mime
sofa II dogs. east, while in Montana it
it Is 90 dogs. east. It does not point due
north except III few localities, and at
no place does it continue to point with a
given angular distance from the north
for any stated length of time.
IN many places it changes secularly,
annually, diurnally and hourly, and is,
besides, further subject to fluctuations
relucible to 10 method Of tabulation.
In the vicinity Of iron IN any shape, or
Of magnetic sands, it is DETECTED toward
the material attracting it. The needle
has been known to vary dogs. in dis
lance of one mile, and 1 deg. and 30
minis. in two hours when left stationary
in a certain locahty.-St. Louis Re
Duhlie

Thank TOu Sir.

Mr.. Bafour. in his Leaves from Ny
Chinese Scrap Book, says that = most
amusing chapter in the history of official
etiquette in China might be written
under the heading Of The Emperor is
Thanked" He says he is reminded by
this Chinese formslity of a pedagogue
who always insisted Oh his pupils thanks
On every occasion. IF he asked boy
what time it was, the proper form for
his reply was, Half past ?, sir, thank
you"
The const tutional maxim, f'The king
can do no HARM" might, ii Chinese
Official language, be translated, The
emperor can do nothing that Is not be-
nevoleat."
An amusing incident occurred not
long ago in connection with Manchu
officer OF high rank, Wulahsich- ungah,
the president of the board of ceremonies.
This gentleman returned thanks for the
honor Of having been invited TO sacri-
fetal feast by the emperor, and the next
day a terrible snubbing was admins
tered to him.
It appears that the emperor had not
invited him at all, and was much aston
ished.
His name" says the decree, docs
not appear in the list of guests approved
by us, and in thus thanking Us he has
been guilty of a great piece Of careless
ness.
The committee Of the board of punish
ments allotted penalty to poor Wulah-
sith-ungah, who should, according to
etiquette, have been grateful for that
also, though his thanks are not recorded

The ShaFtSkOn.

The baseball field is not the place
where one looks for literary wit, yet
now and then it happens that good pat
saying is heard there which shows not
only readiness but familiarity with lit
erature.
1t was on an occasion when college
nine was playing the nine from a fitting
school, and the shortstop Of the latter
was an absurdly tall and thin fellow
named Brown, apparently some ten
years older than the boys with whom he
was associated. He played very badly,
muf1ing and fumbling, until it was sug-
gested that he was only put on the nine
for the joke of having so long man as
shortstop.
He is like the Ancient Mariner" one
Of the college lime said; "he is long and
lank and Brown"
Gle is more like the Ancient Mariner, y
quickly and wittily returned the friend
to whom the remark was made, "be-
cause he stoppeth one of three. -.

TO RECLAIM THE ROANOKE
RIVER LANDS.
Henderson Gold Leaf. }

Henderson Gold Leaf
For several months the Scotland
Neck DEMOCRAT has been pub>
fishing a series Of articles on the
subject Of reclsim inning the ich bottom
ands Of the Roanoke river now
subject to overflow. This could be
done by building dykes as was done
brior to the war.Or course the thing
would be too big an undertaking for
private individuals, and the idea is to
employ convict labor to do the work,
and only those coDvicts sent from the
counties affected-Halifax, North
anpton, BERTHE, etc are asked for
This, it seems to US, is very reason
able proposition, and the practicable
Of the work and the importance Of it
does not admit of dispute. If these
lands, now practically waste places,
should be reclaimed and cultivated,
the whole State would be benefited,
for they are capable Of producing
sufficient grain to feed all North
Carolina. The Legislature VIII be
memorlalized to enact special law
for this purpose, and we trust it will
ne done

oi the reclamation of the lowlands

ii which these fertile lands might be
reclaimed.
Now thai there has been 8 great

THE MLLITARY SCHOOL.

/ fen weeks ago TIE DEMOCRAT
proposed to the people of Scotland
Neck to have IN act passed by the
Legislature allowing the town to
gate on the question of floating
bonds for Z number OF gears, to be
redeemed by special taxation.
Since looking into the matter
n3re carefully and particularly we
believe t would be unconstitutional
to levy 7 tax for school purposes for
OFT race and not for the other, We
withdraw The proposition, but do not
villdaw orr plea for the military
school. There arc Numerous argu
uents for such school at Scotland
Neck.
10 be sure, the town has good
s-lools r0v. The male and female
aca5emics are not surpassed in elf
cl.aG work By any similar schools in
in tie state, Bat the buildings are
neither adequate to The demands Of
present patronage nor comfortable
enough TO maintain it. Both schools
are GlIcd to their capacity. The fc =
male school has no boarding depart
mc1t end can never be any better or
larger than 1t is now. The male
school gan not accommodate comfor-
t@.IT the boarding students it now
has.
I.o tA.GG then narrows down TO
this proposition If we are to have
aag improvement in cur schools,
private Individuals must make the
i-n.u5emoat; and TIE DEMOCRAT
offers this suggestions:
