The Watch az a Compass.

In watch one is always provided with
compass. with which. when the sun is shin
ing, the cardinal points can be determined.
All one has to do is to point the hour hand
to the sun, and north is exactly half way
between the hour and the figure L on the
watch. This may seem strange to the aver
age reader but 1t is easily explained While
the sun is passing over $50 degrees least or
$50 degrees from o'clock to o'clock)
Therefore the angular movement of the sun
in one hour corresponds to the angular move
ment of the hour hand In half hour;
hence, If we point the hour hand toward the
the line from the point midway between
the hour hand and u o'clock to the pivot
of the hands will point to the north.-GlObs

up, and while not retiring from the position

government to impose import duty on
lumber from the United States corresponding
to the duty by that country upon Canadian

be a report that tells something about the
town. This committee has picked out Blue

field, before it has come TO the brick-and

there a handsome public building. Why?
Because

In addition to this. large amount of cat

built of brick-in order that when the gov

Another case in point was that Of a bill
introduced by Mr.. Berry, of Kentucky for
the erection of a public building at a cost Of
s25 600 at Carrolton. in that state. at the
mouth of the Kentucky river, and with
population Of $500, and postal receipts of
SO 600
Mr.. Berry's principal claim for the appro-
priation was that there are three or four
large distilIeries there. and the receipts Of
those distilleries for a week would build the
building" He also claimed that these in
dustrial establishments, together with 1.-THE
largest tobacco warehouse in the country"
located there, yield the government from S4,-
GOO to $4,000 per annum in revenue hence
it was due 10 the community that a public
building be allowed.
There were some modest protests, Of course

bill was laid aside with a favorable recon-
