Representatives Bennett and Rupert
of New York. have united in a MINOR
ity report against the immigration bill
recently reported by the House COM
mittoc ON immigration. Their opposi-
ton is that the bill makes no proper
provision for the execution of the con-
ract labor laws; not weed out the un-
desired immigrants from southern Italy
who come singly, but it will penalize
the Germans. Danes. SWedes, Norwe-
Cians, Films. Irish, Scotch and English,
who usually come with large families.
This the report declares, is discourag
ing the desirable immigrants. The re-
port says there is no justification for
the iitGracy test.

THE MAGNETIC COMPASS.
First Used on European Vessels In
the Tvclfth Century.

Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi
nese, discovered many centuries ago
that a kind of iron ore possessed very
peculiar quality. We call this ore mag
netic ore, or, in more common Ian
guage. lodestone, and it is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. 1t was found that II
a bit of lodestone were placed in water
upon piece of cork or straw braid it
would turn till the axis Of the stone as
sumed a north and south position.
phenomenon Of magnetism had been
discovered by means of an ore that Is
peculiarly susceptible to magnetic in
fiuence
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 OF
European vessels before the Twelfth
century of our era. By that time the
true magnetic compass had been evoly-
ed through the discovery that il az
iron or steel needle were stroked on
lodeStone it would receive the attrac
tive and directive power of this ore.
With this appliance placed at the
service of navigation the vessels that
had Rugged the coasts soon dared to
venture even out Of sight of land. q
new impetus was gradually given to
cartography, for now the true direc-
tons Of the coast lines might be chart
ed with some approach to accuracy. II
was the happy fortune of Italian sail
ors to make the surprisingly excellent
surveys of the directions and lengths OF

coasts and along the Atlantic to British
waters that have come down to US in

it and the interments passed off with
