What IS q Knot?

Every ship carries a log line.
THIS is line, small and strong, with
a triangular plate at the free end, so
arranged that when thrown into the
water, it stands erect and presents
its full face to the ship. The line
runs freely from reel, so the plate
remains practically stationary while
the line runs out. On the line are
knots of colored yarn which gives
name to the line. Those knots are
placed at distances proportloned the
same as 80 seconds are to an hour.
That is, knot on the line, the dis
lance between two marks, is the
10th part of sea mile. The num-
her of knots which run off in half a
minute, tEen, shows the number of
knots the ship is sailing an hour.
A nautical mile is 6oSo.s7 feet,
while Il statute mile is $3.50 feet A
"knot" is therefore I.I5I statute
miles. Fifteen knots is I7.27 miles;
20 knots is e miles. TO get the
rate of any of the ships reported in
knots, in land miles. multiply the
knots by I.15I.- Milwaukee Jour-
