compass variations. a matter the govern
ment is also investigating at Chei;cn-
ham, Md. in Alaska. in Honolulu and in
Kansas.
In Baltimore the needle pointed six
degrees and six minutes west in 1910 and
in 1902 was only % minutes west. A
street mile long laid out by the compass
in this city in 1870 would have had its
north terminus 5o4 feet too far west in

Zulu Headdresses,

II must not be overlooked that many
uncivilized people express age. position
and married or single state by the way
they dress their locks. After all. when
one comes to think of IL. the idea is just
as practical as the wearing of a golden
band on one finger. The wedding ring
is not always In evidence here. for lady
is ofttimes gloved; and while some mar
ried men wear the circlet i'm England and
on the continent. others do not; and
again, many bachelors sport the very
ring that should only be used TO proclaim
the wedding state. But the Zulu woman
is really more practical. for a first glance
at her coiffure assures the observer
whether she is maid or wife. The cone
shaped erection Is the legitimate sym
bol OF her state OF wifehood and can not
be legally worn TIN the marriage rites
are duly completed. Save. for this all
