New Chart corrects Errors.

The great practical utility of the
magnetic survey made in the Pacific
ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905
is shown by new magnetic chart,
from which it appears that the charts
previously used by navigators in the
pacific ocean were erroneous along
some much-traversed routes to the ex-
tent of from three to five degrees,
and the errors at times were syste-
matte. Errors Of this magnitude are
of Importance in practical navigation
