COMPASS TO TELL TALES.
Automatic Device Will Register A
Changes i'm Courae OF Veeeels.

Automatic Device Will Register All
Changes i'm Course Of Vessels.
An automatic compass for use on
board ship Is described in the Bulletin
de Ia Societe Industrielle de Marseilles.
The apparatus, which is the invention
Of NJ. Heit, automatically registers,
minute by minute, the direction Of the
compass, 30 that by consulting the
chart which Is the result 1t Is possible
to determine what the route was that
was followed at given moment of the
passage. The commander Of vessel
Indicates to the helmsman the route
which the vessel should follow, but he
does not know whether this route is
followed unless he Is continually OBJ
serving the compass.
The Hedt apparatus gives this infor-
nation, registering every change in the
position Of the vessel, every move made
by the helmsman and the exact time at
which such change occurred, and so,
In case Of many varieties of accident,
the chart enables one to establish ex-
actly the responsibility. The appara-
tus has been in use for several months
and has given complete satisfaction.
The compass card. instead of having
at its center an agate resting on fixed
steel point. is fixed on steel pivot
which rests on fixed agate. The lat
ter is bathed In drop Of mercury,
which serves to conduct the current Of
electricity that makes possible the reg
istering Of the movements Of the COM
pass.
For This purpose the card has at
tached to 1t small silver index, which
Is kept in constant electrical communi-
cation with the pivot by fine and flex-
1ble wire. In the unusual position this
Index does not touch the fxer basin
surrounding the card but by means Of
the electrical current the circuit is rap
idly closed and opened, with the result
that the angle Of the boat with the
meridian Is registered.
For this purpose the basin Is divided
into certain number Of sections, iso-
lated from each other and correspond
ing in each case to special circuit,
the registration being made on sheet
Of paper by means Of spark produced
by small induction coil. Certain Sec
lions Of the basin also correspond to
certain call bells, the commander thus
being instantly Informed of any alb
normal deviation in the direction Of the
boat.
The apparatus also gives the speed
of the boat by registering the revolu-
tions of the screws. at each stroke of
the piston a current being closed and
signal sent to the receiver, while the
hour of departure is registered, togeth-
er with that Of every stop or start.

FATHER OF THE NAVY.

in st. Mary's churchyard, Philadel-
phia, Is the almost forgotten grave Of
Commodore John Barry, a shipmaster
who at the opening Of the Revolution
airy War offered his services to Con-
gress and was given the command Of
the Lexington. Now an effort Is being
made to erect more suitable me-
mortal to him. The very name Of the
famous old fighter was once a terror
on the high seas, but now little Is
known Of this patriot and personal
friend of Washington, who proudly
replied to General Howe's offer Of
twenty thousand pounds and command
Of British squadron, 1.-The English
government is not rich enough to buy

Barry was not, as Is sometimes
stated, the first to hoist the American
ensign at sea, but to him belongs the
honor Of christening the union flag

Lexington that he bore the ensign to

Herman's Prom pin less.

"Hermie"
How Herman did hate to go. He
was setting up little water wheel In
the ditch, and 1t was the greatest trial
to leave 1t.
"Hermie" Suddenly Hermie remem-
bered what his father had said to him.
Take good care Of your mother, Her
man. for she is sick and nervous, and
any excitement may upset her."
He dropped the windmill and ran to
the porch, where mother was calling.
"Hermie." said mother, in a wor-
ried tone "look off there, toward the
railroad track.

not to be there?'
Herman looked. ITS only little
grass, mother, burning along the
track. That's all right" he urged,
eager to get back to the water wheel.
"Oh. but Hermie, please go down
and see that there isn't anything
wrong" begged mother. And, Her
nile. don't get hurt" she added. In a
tone Of fresh terror.

answered cheerily and started off to-
ward the track.
First he ran, to please his mother,
then he walked. Then, as the flames
came into sight, he began to run again.
What was 1t? No grass fire along the
track could look like that. The long
wooden bridge was burning, and in five
MINUTES the train would be due.
What shall I do?' painted poor
Hermie, as he hurried up the steep
railroad grade. II must wave a red
flag"
But he had nothing with which to
flag the train. For a moment he stood
then suddenly he pulled off his red
blouse and waved it vigorously at the
speck which approached in the dis
lance.
The engineer caught sight Of the
dancing little figure that waved the
red blouse so frantically, and brought
the train to a standstill.
The trainmen came clambering
down to fight the fire. The passen.
gers followed after, and the very first
to come out Of the car was Hermie's
father.

And now, with loud, exultant mark,
He gayly sprung about the ark.
Alas! so crowded was the space
He could not find In 1t a place;
So patiently he turned about
Stood half way in and half way out.
And those extremely heavy showers
Descended through nine hundred hours
And more; and darling. at their close,
Most frozen was his honest nose;
And never could it lose again
The dampness of that dreadful rain;
And that is why, my curls Of gold,

occasion he was making a scientific ex-

dead wishing TO dry them. he pierced
them with little brass rods and hung
them on the iron railing Of his balcony
To his surprise they began to move.
and Galvani saw this was due to the
action Of the wind. This knocked the
part Of the bodies pierced by the brass
rods against the iron balcony. This
discovery resulted in the galvanic bat
