It is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power of
the lodestone. but It IL certain that the

true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that II

ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon

given to cartography, for now the true
