why this magnetic line swings from
the Pacific across the Atlantic and
back again. taking a century or two for
the trip, has yet to be solved by the
scientific world. There are many in
teresting questions which might be
suggested. For instance:
why is the magnetic pole located so
far from the geographical pole? What
is the origin OF this magnetic belt, and
whatrelation to this belt is this narrow
line of attra ction, designated as the line
Of no variation?
Would not suggest the idea that
this line of no variation was a center
of this belt? why does the needle of
the compass, when It is on the opposite
side of the earth. become attracted out
Of it's course toward the line of no
variation on this side of the earth?
Why does the needle from a point
south of San Diego point due west for
several hundred miles over the Pacific
ocean, and then suddenly make a short
turn and point due north toward its
magnetic pole?
Is it not probable that there Is a
mineral magnetic range along the
oceans bottom that defects the needle?
Is it not apparent that there is a
magnetic belt surrounding the earth,
caused no doubt by the rapid revo-
lutions on it's axis, around the sun and
through space? If a 800 horse power
motor at the Worlds Fair, whose arm
ature revolved only 377 miles per hour,
could furnish continuously for five and
one half months power and light for
the whole fair grouds, what might not
be expected of the earth's accumulation
of magnetism from its rapid flight
through space?
Will not that account for a wireless
message following this belt around n
circle which is 30 miles in diameter IN
it's 1000 mile trip across the Atlantic?
Sound and light move in straight lines
in every direction. but could not pass
around a curve whose diameter was 80
miles, unless attracted out of their
course.
The needle has also a diurnal varl-
alton, which should be noted by sur
veyors in order to make accurate sur
veys. Sun spots make a notable change
in the variation of the compass.
This is a wide field for scientific in
vestigation, which may take centuries
to determine with accuracy.

The recent rediscovery Of the north
