observed, that, strictly speaking, all
the decorations in the empire were not
worth three deep-chested hurrahs in
warmer climate to him from the
American point Of view.
That first machine, though a working
success, was so narrow in scope and
crude in construction compared with
his ideal that he withdrew 1t from dis
play and began on second, which
when finished was not even shown, as
experience with the first had taught
him lesson. 1t was tried with marked
waters but, still not satisfied. he began
the evolution of a third principle, going
from a strip record to a circular chart,
and after years of patient experiment
in his laboratory In Mulberry street,
near Spring New York city, he pro-
duced the highly finished instrument
that fills all requirements.
The ramifcations of the machine ex-
tend to every part of the ship from the
bridge house to the engine room, from
the side lights to the taffrail log, yet
the vitals Of it, located in the steering
room, are exceedingly compact and in
stalled in two sections, the compass
with it's chart disc and attachments
and the switchboard and its devices.
The principle by which each direction
OF the needle is recorded is the height
of ingenuity. An aluminium spiral of
one coil is attached to the needle, fas-
tened at the pivot and the north pole
Of the needle. Say the diameter Of the
compass card is eight inches, the spiral
curves out until ON the line pointing
west three inches and on the north line
four inches, or the tip of the needle.
If at noon the ship is headed due east
the noon line on the chart will point
due east and coincide with radial
conductor which lies under the chart
and points the ships direction. The
spiral win cross the radial conductor
three inches from the center OF the
chart, and tiny spark leaping from
the spiral 10 the radial conductor will
perforate the paper OF the chart at the
noon line where II crosses the east line
Should the ship turn south the spark
will perforate the 1901 line, which has.

folks, and pa has been going around behind the
cages, every evening when the menagerie is
closed, and the crowd in the main tent, making
noises that have made the animals look at each
other as much as to say, well, what do you
think of that? 7" The rhinoceros was so dis
gusted at Paducah that he reached out his nose
and took pa on his horn and held him up to
the scorn of the other animals Until pas pants
gave way and he was sight and he was SO
scared that he got out of the tent and made

thought he was burglar that had been eat by

of my own, but waited until the countrymen

was too full for utterance. When the machine
sweed out like it was blowed up, and it kind
OF wheezed, like it was ready to cough up, and
was only waiting for an excuse, put cough
lozenger about the size of nickel in the slot

dered minute and then had a regular hem

els into my hand, and the machine seemed to
rest easy, and take nourishment again from the

in the minute been revolved over the
radial conductor, at two inches from
the center, for then the spiral will cross
the radial conductor at the south line.
Should the ship then continue south
for twenty-four hours, row Of tiny
perforations will follow the south line
the entire circle around the chart. Be
yond the circle of the north line are
other lines on spaces, in which marks
will put perforations every second the
whistle is blowing, every knot that the
log registers and every 1000 or 10000
revolutions the engines make
The disc of the chart revolves by
mechanism that is electrical and is
controlled and adjusted by and to the
chronometer. The chart can be made
to register an hour, a watch or a whole
day. For the mechanism which would
allow the chronometer to control the
chart revolution, without interfering
with the chronometer, Mr.. Jaeger was
compelled to invent what he calls an
'1ronclad" magnet. Not only is there
core of soft iron, but there is casing
as well. This is something new and in
genious.
Mr.. Jaeger is the son of a German
American who has been highly Sue
cessful as an inventor. manufacturer
and financier and so the son comes by
his mechanical genius by inheritance.
He began his work on the compass
when a mere boy as he is but 20 now.

TEAM stole something of romance
from seafarihg life and now an
- other stride Of science has brought
near extinction the ancient custom of
keeping the log of the voyage. 1t is
all to be done by machinery instead OF
the navigating officers pen on the log
book. The burning finger of an cleo
trio spark will write on circular chart
the complete history of the ships be-
havior during each twenty-four hours
and record it without error
In the future there will never be a
question as to whether another Brook
lyn made certain evoutions in another
Santiago; or other Burgoyne contro-
versy as to signals before the collision
can occur; no naval officers will be un-
deservedly disgraced as in the British
Pacific squadron. over matters of rela-
tive speed and course before going
aground. In the place Of the official
navigating officers and engineers log
books there will be a neat little pile
of charts, which do not even need
transcription to a book record, being
perfectly adapted for filing. They will
show the direction OF the vessel at
every given minute Of the passage, the
speed with any variations; the stops,
the reversals. the signals of the whis-
tie, the number of revolutions of the
engines and the condition Of the sea
being traversed. with such charts no
dead reckoning can have an element
of uncertainty worthy of the name.
The invention which has made these
things possible, and which is pro-
nounced by experts at home and
abroad to be the greatest advance Of
the century in the science of naviga-
tlon, is a recording compass. the work
OF an American. Carl Ludwig Jaeger,
resident of haywood, Bergen county,
N. J.
The machine is the result OF fifteen
years of experimenting, and it Is but
a few months ago that complete prac-
ticability was obtained and a full
course OF successful experiments con-
Quoted. Within the last fortnight only
was the slightest public hint OF the
final achievement given, ana then by
Mr.. Jaeger himself at dinner OF engi-
neers at the Holland house In New
York.
