AFTER THREE HUNDRED YEARS.
An Improvement at Last Made in the Mar.
iner's Compass and Sextant.

Al instrument that will in large meas
ure revolutionize navigation has just
been constructed in Washington. The
instrument is the solarometer, and it's
inventor is Lieut.. VIII. Bechler, of the
Navy, who has been at work on the de-
vice for the past six years. 1t las been
tried on shipboard, and given good re-
suits without adequate protection from
atmospheric influences, and the present
trip which Lieut.. Bechler will make to
Europe is authorized by the Secretary of
the Navy, and it is thought, with the
new housings of the instrument, will
finally establish it's usefulness in pracgi-
cal service. The solarometer is really. the
first practical improvement over the
compass and sextant that has been made
in at least three hundred years. and cit
comes at time when improvement
over these old and unsatisfactory meth
DDS was becoming absolutely imperative
AS the case now stands, and has stood
for generations, absolute astronomical
denominations of a vessels position at
sea are made by means of the sextant
only. Attitudes of the sun or other
heavenly DouIes are measured with this
instrument, and from these observations
the observers latitude and longitude
are deducted by elaborate log arithmetic
calcula tions. For longitude observations
the body observed must be near the hori-
zon, while for latitude observations it
must be near the zenith. These condi-
lions can rarely be obtained by star,
and the sun is often obscured for days
just at the times when observations
would be possible with the sextant.
With careful account of ships run
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-27

over we'll known track at a regular
rate of speed and with carefully adjust
ed compasses it is possible for an expe-
rlenced captain to estimate his position
with some degree of accuracy. If the
sun were obscured for one day only it
might be possible to ascertain his posi-
ton within a circle twenty miles in
diameter, but if the sun be orscured for
several days there is very little depend
ence to be placed ON dead reckoning.
This, says the Washington Post, is es-
peclally SO with the modern iron and
steel ships, in which the compasses,
without frequent comparison and adjust
menT to some known standard, are ALSO
lutely worthless. In an east and west
run of a day or two an iron cruiser will
be SO affected by the polarization from
the earth's currents that the compases
swing out even to the line of calculated
error, and when the ships course is
changed will be found to be utterly
valueless. These constant changes in
the magnetic properties of ships hull
are constantly going on, even when she
lies up at the wharf at the end of a run,
and the astronomical observations neces-
sary to correct the conlpasses are in
volved in SO many possibilities of error
that they are, to say the least, extremely
unsatisfactory.
The solarometer is designed to obviate
81 tHls hiouble lof IL uot Only ueteIAAlHcS
the ships position Mt any time when the
sun or star is visible. but the same
simple observation sufices to fix the
compasses error to certainty. The in
strument is delicate and beautiful piece
of work. 1t is now in the yard OF
Saegmuler's instrument shops, where it
has been visited by many naval officers
and practical navigators, who have ex-
prssed great satisfaction at the ease and
captalpfu with ioh an hiad
to locate the latitude and Longitude OF
Mr.. Saegmuller's back door. 1t is in
cased n a little sheet iron house like the
coming tower on torpedo boat.r This
tower has revolving cupola with a
sliding door to afford wind protection.
To compensate for the rolling sof the
ship the instrument is mounted ina very
lined kettle is swung on gimhals like a
ship's compass, and inside of this floats
another spherical kettle filed with mer-
curry, in which floats the third kettle,
that bears the solarometer. The gross
disturbance from the pitching Of the
ship IS taken up by the gimbals, while
the two remaining floating shells in the
dead level in spite of the widest rolling
and pitching, the only limit to observa-
lions being the observers power to keep
his feet, and keep his eye on the tele-
scope. The telescope is a tiny affair, not
more than three inches long, and for
night observation the cross hairs are
illuminated by tiny incandescent lights.
The telescope is SO mounted on it's slides
that its movement will be in the same
plane as the path of the heaven ly body
being observed from rising to letting,
when adjusted to the observers latitude
and the declination of the body as Civ
en- in the nautical almanac.
The solarometer is not cheap instru-
m ent one costing about $1,000 in labor
and material alone. but this is a mere
nothing compared to the loss of life aud
property that will be prevented by it's
adoption.

Brazil has done just what might have
been expected-abrogated the reciprocity
treaty. The consideration for that treaty
was the admission of her sugar into this
country free of duty. and that considera-
ton having been withdrawn by the
Democratic Congress it was only reason
able to anticipate that Brazil would
withdraw the concessions made in con-
sequence Of it. It is rumored that Brazil
has acted more quickly than she other
wise would have done ON account of
pressure put upon her by England of
whom she is trying to negotiate loan.
That may be SO. but sooner or later she
would undoubtedly have terminated the
treaty anyway. The concessions made
to the United States in the treaty were
the free admission into her territory of
flour, corn, rye, cereals, HAY. salt pork.
dry salt fish, and agricultural imple-
ments, lumber, manufacturing tools and
implements and articles of railroad con-
struction, and remission of % per cent.
on various other articles. Under these
concessions our exports to Brazil have
shown considerable increase, but now
they are likely to fall back, and the
profitable trade which seemed certain to
come in the near future be indefinitely
postponed. 1t will be but short time
before all the reciprocity treaties will be
abrogated. The two most important Of
them-the one with Spain and the one
with Brazil-are already gone The
Democratic tariff law is working beauti-
fully. The people find the price of their
sugar increased by it, and their trade
with foreign countries curtailed by it.
The Sugar Trust is happy however.

The Democrats are looking forward to

good deal of anxiety. The fact alone OF
this exceptional distinction being paid
to the man who has been the leader in
reforming our revenue system is itself
disquieting, but the possibility that Eng
lisnmen who speak may not fully under
stand the effect their speeches may
have an effect on American politics, and
hence may give full vent to their joy at
the Professors work, is making them
very unhappy.

Senator David B. Hills speech to the
New York Democratic convention vigor-
ously arraigned the Repu blicans. In
that business Democrats have had so
long experience that that part of the
programme always goes through with
out hitch. But when the Senator
came to discussion of the work of his
own party things didn't run SO smoothly
and to make them run at all he had fire.
quently to conceal large part of the
truth. When, for instance, he pointed
to the repeal of the silver purchase law
as a Democratic achievement he neglect.
cd to say that that achievement was ac-
complished in the Senate in spite of al
most solid Democratic opposition, and
therefore was not Democratic achieve
ment at all. His treatment Of the tariff
bill was apologetic in style. 1t wasn't
the bill the Democrats promised, he
admitted, it wasn't such bill as ought
to have been passed; but it was better
than the Mckinley law. He was silent
on the income tax, and had nothing to
say about the sugar trust. His appeal
to the country to continue the control
of the government in Democratic hands
in order to stop further tariff agitation
was fine piece of effrontery in view of
the fact that the President has declared
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-27

that the German bill is only vantage
ground" for further assaults upon pro-
lection. and that Wilson and Mills and
Crisp and Cochran are all ON record as
declaring within few weeks that the
agitation must continue until the tariff
question is settled in way that they
consider right. But Democratic States
man must needs have good stock of
effrontery to carry him through the cam
paign of this year.

Several turkey hers should be set at

turkey will take care Of so young with
as much care IS she manages half of
that number. The hen that is released
from maternal cares will very soon lay
again and hatch u second clutch. In set
ting the hens they should not bo near to
THOSE that arc to hatch later. They will
sometimes abandon their nests to help
take care CT tho chicks that they hear

they should be left with the mother hen
to attend to invariably. They arc OK
ceedlnSly delicate when first Matched
and must not be handled. This is tho
tlno when the youngllngs will best take
