GYROSCOPE AS COMPASS.
It's Use in Steering Steel Vessels and
WarshipS

The mariners compass occasionally
fails of it's purpose in these days of iron
ships and cargoes of a magnetic ma
ture. This especially is the case in war
ships, where the huge masses of iron and
steel in guns and gun turrets, etc, are
liable to affect the reading of the COM
pass.
1t is the usual practice to make all
possible corrections. but gun turrets have
to be moved around, and the corrections
cannot always be trusted
Again, the shock due to the firing of
big guns is bad for the compass. DR..
II. Absolute ampfe has invented new
form Of steering standard, dependent for
its operation upon the principle OF the
gyrOscope.
This apparatus has been subjected to
exhaustive tests on q battleship, where
amid the firing of great guns, the move
ment of the turrets and such other dis
turbing influences as would effectually
have disposed of the ordinary compass
it behaved with remarkable precision
and came out of the trials quite unin-
jured. The apparatus consists essen
TALLY of an electrically operated gyro-
scope carrying an indicating needle and
pivOted within an arc similar to that or
the ordinary compass.
The instrument does not necessarily
point north and south, but it tends con-
tinuaIly to point in any direction IN
which it is set. and thus to indicate any
change of direction of the ship. 1t is
not proposed to displace the mariner S
compass by means of this instrument,
for its readings would tend to become
inaccurate after long periods of use with
out resetting by some standard. 1t Will
serve as "a useful supplement to the COM
PASS.

Inventor of the Boomerang,

might think that the highest laws of
mathematics had been laid under CON
tribution in the perfecting of it. The
convexity on one side. the fatness on
the other. and the sharp knifelike edge
on the inside of the convexity have the
air of having been carefully thought out.
Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than FIVE and are destitute of all the arts
and amenities of life Theirs is perhaps
the lowest plane of human life Some
people have assumed that the boom
erang was the creation of an older and
higher civilization, but for this there is
no evidence. 1t must be the product
of one age long empirical use of throw
ing weapons.-London Spectator.

a rate of 1870 and the river cities a rate
of 1880.
