MAGNETIC CORRECTIONS.
Compass Errors Evidently Known Be-
fore Columbus.

In nearly all parts of the northern
hemisphere the magnetic needle fails
to point directly north. There is a
certain distortion, which is greater in
some places than at others, and which
slowly changes from century to CEN
tury. The cause of these eccentricities
is not fully understood. No doubt the
sun has some influence, but just how
il is oyerted It is hard to say.
Whatever be the cause, the import
ant fact is that the compass is liable
or unless he has been warned. and un-
less even then he has means of meas
uring the variation of the needle for
his locality and for a given date.
One of the first naviGators to OBJ
serve the tricks of tho compass was
Columbus. but there are indications
that they had been recognized in Eur
ope 40 or so years before he made
his first voyage of discovery. Prof.
G. Hellmann says in n German scien-
tific periodical that the phenomenon
IN question was known on the conti-
nent early in the 18th century. Num-
erous pocket sundials were in exist
enoe, which were provided with mag
netic needles for adjusting the instru-
ments 10 the astronomical meridian,
ari showing the decli latiDn by a line
on the floor of the compass box.
DR.. A. W'olkenhauer recently dis
covered three such sundials dating
from before the time OF Columbus.
One of these. which is in the Ferdi-
nard Museum at Innsbruck was prob
ably made in Nuremberg. 1t bears the
date "145i."
The rim of the compass box shows
the four cardinal points-M. (Merid-
ies) Oc. (Occidens), S. (Septentrio),
or. (Oriens.) On the floor of the COM
pass box is cut the northerly pointing
bifurcated line of deviation of the
magnet, showing about II degrees
easterly variation.
This line is of the same depth and
thickness as the hour lines, and a
careful examination of the instrument
shows that it must have been orig
inallv done by the maker. 1t can
easily be recognized, however, that the
three other marks west of the origi-
nal line (twu of which have arrow
heads), We're roughly inserted at a
later time, when probably the decli,
nation had become westerly. \ short.
thick stroke, lying four or five de-
grees west of the n. S. direction has
been scratched so as to be deeper than
the earlier ones The magnetic varia-
ton was apparently probably known
before the beginning of the 18th CEN
tury, but by whom and where it was
tion.

TURN DOWN CITY
HALL PROPOSITION

The proposition of bonding the city
of Wenatchee for sum OF $l2, 900
to defray the cost of new city hall
was voted down yesterday at the spec
ial election by a vote Of as to II. Only
l07 voters were registered and out of
these so voted. 1t was predicted by
many that the ponds would fail to
carry but scarcely anyone looked for so
large vote against them. 1t seems
to have been the general opinion that
while the city hall would be a much
desired Improvement and benefit to
town, there are many other things
which we need worse end need before
we do city hall With so large a vote
against city hall is probable that it
will be allowed to rest for some time
to come.
