THE COMPASS,
The Belief Was Once Held That 1t
Disclosed Mems Thoughts.


Disclosed Mems Thoughts.
A belief that the mariners compass
disclosed mems thoughts was enter
tained by a number of ancient Mexi-
can companions and allies of Herman
do CorteS His habit of consulting his
compass and chart in his advance
through the country and the ease and
assurance with which he reached
whatever town or village he deter
mined to make for tended to confirm
this idea.
In the estimation of the Mexicans
the compass was a universal oracle.
Accordingly in one of the conspiracies
which were set on foot against Cortes
by the Aztecs a number of the natives,
most likely innocent of what was in
contemplation, were earnest in entreat-
ing Cortes to have recourse to his in
fallible guide, the compass, that he
might ascertain for their mutual salts
faction that they at least were faith
full. Cortes himself records the singu-
lar idea held Of the powers of the mag
netic needle by his Aztec associates
and their request in letter addressed
to the Emperor Charles V. Their be-
lief, he adds, was one in which he took
care to confirm them.
