THE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known to Sailors Before the
Twelfth OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Adjunct to Navigation.

Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi
nese, discovered, many centuries ago,
that kind of iron ore possessed very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common lam
guage, lodestone, and it is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. 1t was found that
If bit of lodestone were placed in
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid it would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means of an ore
that is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence.
It is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power OF
the lodestone, but it is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. By that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that II
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on lodestone it would receive the at
tractive and directive power OF this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight OF
land. "A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the happy fortune of Ital-
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Med1ter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to British waters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps

ROOT REACHES PORTO RICO
America Received with Boom
ing of Cannon.

San Juan, Porto Rico, July 9.-The
cruiser Charleston, with Secretary
Root and party on board, arrived here
at four o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The Charleston entered the harbor
at considerable speed. She established
a record run between New York and
San Juan, making the distance in
three days and - hours. The trip
down was uneventful.
AS the Charleston entered the har-
Dor she received salutes from MORO
castle and the Italian cruise Umbria.
Gov. Winthrop and his secretary,
A. H. Frazer, went On board the
cruiser, and after the exchange of
greetings the secretary's party came
ashore in naval launches. They were
greeted at the landing of the naval
station by Capt. Rohrer, commandant
of the station, and his staff, the ma
rines being drawn up in honor of the
secretary.
After these ceremonies the naval
authorities turned the party over to
Lieut.. Col Bailey, of the Porto Rico
provisional regiment, and his staff.

FOUR DEAD IN EXPLOSION
Gasoline Tank in Dyehouse Blows Up,
Bodies of Victims Being Cooked
in Resultant Fire

Saginaw, Mich, July -Four per-
sons were killed and six injured, one
of them seriously, by the explosion
Friday of a large gasoline tank on
the second floor of the boiler house of
the Cosendal dye works on North
Jefferson avenue. The dead:
E. A. Foehl, Louis Consendai, George
Sigelko, Carl Cosnedaiy
The tank of gasoline exploded with
out an instant's warning, and the boil
erhouse was torn to pieces. A cloud
of steam and debris ascending from
the ruins greeted the eyes of the
first persons who reached the scene
after the explosion. Flames burst
from dozen points in the wreck
age instantly. Foehl's body was
found near the edge of the huge pile
of wreckage literally cooked. John
F. and Louis Cosendai were dug from
the ruins with all of their clothes
burned from their bodies and suffer-

WORK OF LONE HIGHWAYMAN
HOLDS UP FIVE STAGE COACHES
In YOSEMITE VALLEY, CAL.
Under Muzzle of Winchester He Com
pels 45 Passengers to Disgorge,
His Capture Reported.

Fresno, CAL, July 10.-It is report
ed from several sources that the high
wayman who on Saturday held up and
robbed a number of Yosemite valley
stage coaches has been captured, but
no news of an official nature has yet
been received.
The first authentic information of
the highway robbery was received
Sunday night in Fresno when J. F.
Tibet, of Riverside, who with his
wife and Miss Amy Michelbacker had
come out of the valley.
The robbery occurred six miles
from the stopping place at Advance
on the other side. At that place the
road winds around the side of hill
and comes to sudden point. At this
point the robber stepped out and or
dered w. A. Palmer, the driver of the
first stage, to stop. The latter quick
ly complied.
The highwayman wore black
mask and had sacks tied about his
feet to prevent the leaving of any
tell-tale tracks as clew for a
pursuing posse. He held in his right
hand a Winchester. The man be-
hind the mask and gun ordered the
passengers to alight. The women
screamed, but the robber emphasized
his order, and all quickly got out Of
the stage and lined up on the road
with their hands above their heads.
w. H. Elliott, from Hormitos, was or
dered to take the express box from
the stage. While he was waiting for
the other stage to come up the rob.
Der shot the lock off the Wells-Fargo
box and rified it's contents. The
bandit stopped the other stages in
the same way, lining the passengers
up and keeping them coveed with
his gun. When all the passengers, 45
in number, were lined up, the bandit,
with show of gayety, selected a
young and pretty girl as his first as
sistant, and told her she had been
appointed.
She hesitated a moment, then went
to work. The girl did not come up to
the robbers requirements, and he
told her that she was poor high
wayman, ordering her to get into line,
and appointing man to take her
place, requiring him to search the
passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party, and when the
robber approached her she dropped in
the road in a dead faint. He only
laughed as he searched her.

ELY MINER.
Study by Travel.
PETER soHAErER. Publisher.
MiNN.

Mr.. Mosely, the British commits
sioner who came over to study our
system of education three years ago,
has plan for continuing to keep
England in touch with us education
ally. He has persuaded the Cunard
and other transatlantic lines to fur
nish passage for teachers at nominal
rates during the winter season. Be-
tween November and March steam
ship accommodations for 500 will be
provided. Arrangements will be made
to care for teachers on their arrival
here and to distribute them among
university centers. This is form of
educational reciprocity of which there
have been numerous manifestations
in England within year. The inter.
change of visits between French and
British workingmen was phase Of
1t, as as the fraternizing of schoolboys
from either side of the channel. Very
recently French university fellows
were welcomed as the guests of the
University Of London. The institu-
ton of the Rhodes scholarships gave
a great impetus to it. In a sense the
Mosely plan is an extension of the
"sabbatical year" system under which
the more fortunately placed American
college instructors study abroad every
seventh year on full or half pay.
Such an exchange Of teachers be-
tween nations is bound to be produc-
tive of heightened interest and in
creased efficiency. Why should not
the plan be adopted here? asks the
New York World. If similar induce
ments are a1ld out to American teach
ers to visit Europe for study and i'm
proving travel it is likely that the
main difficulty would be to restrict
the number desiring to go. It should
be feasible to secure like concessions
for cheap transportation during the
off season of travel and to make pro-
vision for expenses. The benefit to
American teachers of educational
trips abroad under such auspices
would be inestimable. They could
visit the culture centers of Europe at
a most favorable time, when the tide
of summer travel is over and the
schools are in session. They would
bring back all that is newest in edu-
cation in Berlin, Paris and Oxford.
Or they could visit historic Athens
and Syracuse without danger to
health, which is hardly possible in
midsummer for persons of northern
strain. Pupils not less than teachers
would profit by the plan, and boards
of education might well allow partial
pay to those undertaking such trips
for general study.

Terrible Loss to Mankind.

upon the Importance of environment:
Johnny Olson, eldest son of one An
drew Olsen, former owner of the
Roseau-SteDhen stage line, is now a
convict in the prison at Saltwater,
having shot a man over a game of
cards. The fate of this otherwise
brilliant lad would have been an en-
tirely different story had his early
environment and training been diff
ferent. Reared amid the scenes of
lawlessness and vice common to the
frontier, while yet mere boy he had
acquired the reputation of being the
swiftest sport and most successful
poker shark along the line, and we
hear the news of his wild career with
no semblance Of surprise. He would
have been a credit to his state had
his youth been led through channels
OF usefulness, and guided in the
straight and narrow way. An orna-
ment to the legal fraternity of any
state, lawmaker, leader among the
leaders of the nation. Let us not with
mere chagrin prospect this bit of

NAVAL RESERVE MEN DROWN
Four Illinois Milihamen Lose Life
When Sudden Squall Overturns
Dingy in Lake Michigan.

Chicago, July 6.-Four members of
the Illinois naval reserve out of
crew of six were drowned Thursday in
the lake about 200 feet off the foot of
Randolph street. All were inexperi-
enced men except the coxswain and
went out in dingy for cruise for
the first time since they joined the
service. The boat was overturned in
squali, the six men being thrown
into the lake. Their cries for help
were heard on the pier by Alfred Cur
ran, Waterman at the lifesaving sta
ton, and within ten minutes after the
accident the life savers were on their
way to the scene of the mishap.
Two men were saved by the lifesav-

DECLARE MEAT WHOLESOME
EXPERTS REPORT ON CONDI-
TONS AT CHICAGO YARDS.
Has Doubts Of the Safety of
Its Products.

Chicago, July THE report of the
committe of experts of the Illinois
Manufacturers association and the
Chicago Commercial association,
while freely criticising some of the
existing conditions in the yards, de-
clares emphatically that the food
produced by the packers is whole
some.
The experts delved into the manner
in which carcasses and meats are
handled, paid attention to the cloth
ing worn by the workmen as well as
to their physical condition, and es-
pecially investigated the manner in
which the government, state and city
inspect the products of the packing
plants before they are placed upon
the market.
The report declares that the in
spection is in every case more rigid
than that employed in the abattoirs
of Germany, and even recommends
that the inspection for certain dis
eases, including "lumpy jaw" be in
some degree ameliorated. 1t recon-
mends, however, that the govern
ment pay the greatest possible at
tention to the establishing of facili-
ties in the stockyards where men can
be trained Gin the important special
ty of meat inspection"
In it's report the committee did not
mention the names of any plants
which it investigated, but for it's
convenience in reference divided
them into three classes.
The third group, the report says,
relates to but one plant located out
side the yards, and in this plant con-
ditions were found which the COM
mittee declared rendered doubtful the
safety of it's products.
In the second class the committee
found that the meat was handled in
such manner that it was wholesome
and fit for food, but, while this was
the case, the committee declares that
there was so much dirt in the build
ings, which are as rule old, that
they found considerable departure
from a proper esthetic standpoint.

remodel their plants to conform with
the governments demand for sani.

been installed to protect the meat
from flies he indicated that his in
spectors would take the matter up.
His manner made it also apparent
that clash is imminent between the
packers and the government, though
it will be contest without argument.
ut seems to me that the packers of
Chicago have not yet learned their
lesson" said the secretary. This
report of the experts retained by
the Illinois Manufacturers asso-
citation and the Chicago CONNER
cial association is eloquent of their
evasions. 1t seems to us that the pack
ers have had ample time, if they were
so disposed, to launch much greater
improvements, for instance, in the
sanitary conditions of their plants"
Mistaken Policy of Packers.
Here in this report we find men

those plants must be on broad, eff

to permit the use of it's guarantee

Apparently some of them are try
ing to economic in defiance of the
demands of congress that they bring
their plants up to modern standards.
Such policy is mistake-I repeat it,
it is a mistake-and can only result in
the undoing of the halfway measures.
THAT is an expensive method in
the long run. 1t will do the packers
no good to get their backs up. Con-
gress has given the department power
to insist upon wholesome conditions.
That power, l have every reason to
believe, will be exercised"

There will be no controversy be-

won't be necessary. In the event that
they object to our close inspection of
their canned products, for instance,
there will be no label forthcoming.
That is all there is to it.
L want 10 emphasize Hndliy lne ldct
that under the new law there will be
much more adequate inspection. At
present our men do not leave the kill
ing floor. In the future they will
watch the meat through the dressing
and canning processes. We expect to
make rigid requirements to conform
with the best standards in the world. y
