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 a very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common Ian
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 1t would turn till the axis OF the
stone assumed a 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.
1t 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
Ger fury Of our era. BY that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that IL
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 or
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 hapy fortune of ltal-
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to British waters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps

Jury Acquits Houser.

After being out five hours, the jury
in the case of Secretary Of State
Walter l.. Houscr, charged with at
tempted bribery by Insurance Com
missioner Host. returned verdict of
not guilty. The case was the out
growth of the legislative insurance
investigation now on. Mr.. Host having
testified to the committee that, in
1908, Houser brought him a typewrit-
ten decision which the Equitable In
surance company desired him to make
in the litigation over the question of
annual dividends Of surplus. and for
which the company would contrib
ute $4,000 to the Republican cam.
paign fund. Afterward, at the sug-
gestion of District Attorney Gilbert,
Host signed complaint against
Houser. The acquittal of Houser may
have an important political result.
He is candidate for denomination,
and regards the verdict as indicating
him and will stay in the race.

New Adjustment Called For.

If the Wisconsin legislature adopts
the suggestions OF Insurance Commis-
sioner Host, which were approved at
the conference of representatives OF
fraternal orders with the state insnr-
ance Investigating committee at Mil
waukee, it will take a pioneer step IN
the adjustment Of evils which mem
bers of the order know 10 exist, but
which il has been learned cannot be
cured through the voluntary action OF
the orders on account of the disinclina-
ton of the members to raise their
rates until compelled to. 1t Is posi-
bic that the committee will recommend
to the governor and the legislature
the adoption of an experience table
whose minimum rate must be used as
a guide by all organizations writing
fraternal insurance. The privilege will
be given TO omit an assessment when
ever the total reserve warrants such a
step. BY this method il Is believed
present low rate associations can main
tain their low average If their losses
continue as low factor. All orders
