hat is always regarded as u fit subject
for jokes? Anything that happens to
his shoes is serious matter. and. al
though his vest, especially If 1t Is out
of the usual In design or color. Is
sometimes made the subject of pointed
remarks. disaster to any other garment
is regarded as matter of sympathy.
But IL he goes to church aud puts
down his hat at the end OF his pew.

and knocks 1t five feet down the aisle.

SHOOTING THE SUM-
Simplest Way Of Locating ohip's
Position at See.

Position at Sea.
The average transatlantic traveller
displays very little interest In the nav.
igation of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers. sextant In hand,
making observations. says a writer In
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
idea Of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac-
curately place the ships position at
a stated time on the chart. Out of
sight Of land ships geographical po-
sition is determined either by keeping
a careful record Of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning. or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant-that is, by
observation Of the heavenly bodies
The operation Of finding the latitude
and longitude Of observation can be
performed in a number of ways. Of
which the simplest and most conven.
lent is by measuring the altitude Of the
sun above the horizon at noon. as is
indicated on the vernier Of the sextant
and spoken Of at sea as shooting the
SUM-" An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south of the equa-
tor, or. in other words. the latitude.
Finding the longitude. however. is a
somewhat longer process. An observa-
ton is made either in the forenoon or
afternoon. the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the suns Image be-
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be. and. as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich. the prime
meridian of longitude. the difference
between the two expresses In hours
and minutes leasily convertible into
degrees and miles) the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus. roughly speaking. found
the latitude and longitude, dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position.
