The great practical utility of the
magnetic survey made in the Pacific
ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905 Is
shown by a new magnetic chart, from
which ii appears that the charts previ-

ocean were along some much
traversed routes TO the extent Of from
three to five degrees, and the errors at
times were systematic. Errors OF this
magnitude are OF importance in prac-
tical navigation, where the indications

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
WHAT WOULD BRYAN DO?

Walter WellmaE, the correspondent
of the Chicago Record Herald, who
between making airship trips to the
north pole, keeps a weather eye upon
national politics, calls upon Mr.: Bryan
to know what would do if elected
president, and financial conditions and
a shortage of gold in the treasury rem
dered the supply of gold insufficient to
pay the interest of the United States
bonds in gold. The law says that the
interest on these bonds shall be paid
in s'coin." Under that term, either
silver or gold might be used, but the
term has always been construed to
mean gold, and this construction has
meant the difference between the main
tanning of the credit of the country on
a gold or silver basis. President
Cleveland sold bonds to obtain gold
with which to make interest payments
and Mr.. Bryan has been one of his
bitterest critics for having done so.
The free silver craze has abated and
the country is established upon a gold
basis, but would Mr.. Bryan so main
tain it if the question arose as between
gold and silver? The payment of in.
terest in silver would mean an instant
abandonment of the gold basis, and a
readjustment of the entire credit sys-
tenn of the United States to a silver
basis. A good many people would like
to know how Mr. Bryan would stand
IN such an event, and whether he ha:
gotten silver so far out of his system
that he would stand firmly for tn,
maintenance o fthe gold standard, Hi
answer to this question will be awaited
with a good deal of interest.

The Scottish golfer who undertook
for a wager to drive ball a mile In
a dozen consecutive shots probably set
himself an easier task than some Of
his predecessors north of the Tweed.
Among the most interesting wagers
Of this kind was one taken In this
Burgess Golfing society in 1898 that
no two members could drive a ball
over the spire of st. Giles steeple.
The feat was attempted by a Mr.
Sceales OF Leith and Mr.. Smellie, a
printer, each being allowed six balls.
and both competitors succeeded In
sending their balls well over the
weathercock, height Of more than
100 feet from the ground.
Some years later Donald Mclean, a
writer to the Signet, won a substan.
tial bet by driving a ball over Mel.
