OOMPASSES OLD AND NEW.
The Way to Make a Good One at
Little or No Cost.

The motion of a small craft in rough
water causes the common compass card
to jump about go much as to be per-
fectly useless to steer by, while a fluid
compass remains steady and reliable I'M
der all circumstances and conditions.
There are several fluid compasses in
the market at a reasonable price. which
can be depended upon in an emergency.
the fluid on which the needle floats is
generally alcohol, to guard against
freezing, and is simply a development
of a primitive compass used by the dar-
ing seamen of the twelfth century. The
old-fashioned instrument consisted of an
iron needle, one end of which was stuck
into a piece of cork. The other end was
well rubbed with a 1oadstone, and when
the cork f1oated in an earthenware bowl
ofsewater, the end SO treated pointed to
the magnetic north. In spite of the
a knowledge of those early navi-
gators concerning Variation and devia-
ton, they generally managed to make
a sufficiently good 1and-fall. It may not
be generally known that a sewing needle
rubbed on a magnet n carefully prop
ped into a vessel of water will float and
point to the n-orth.-Outing for May.

Amboy was felt at about 4 O'Clock TINS
morning. An Investigation was made ana
it was discovered that the explosion was
caused by the igniting of gas from a
lantern in the chemical works OF Roess-

town. The building was a large frame
structure and was totally wrecked. Au-
gust Lembickie, who was close by when
the explosion occurred, was probably
fatally burned. He was removed to the

to about 5000. Many persons in Perth
