NORTH MAGNETIC POLE

FROM the Chicago Tribune
oiiiy the experts understand rba.-t,.
horth pole and the north magnetic. ..,s
are TWO entirely different thing. a.
matter or fact there are few lorAi,,i.,
oh the earth's surface where the com
pass points due north. The reason Is
because the north magnetic poe or area
lies in the vicinity of King Williams
Land. just off the Arctic coast of North
America In Bothia.
When this magnetic pole is between ms
and the north pole the compass points
due north AS We go either east or wesL
from this line ii is easy TO see that the
compass is off to a certain degree. IF
we were to travel north OF the magnetic
pole the needle would point south, west
of it the needle would point east. Sir
James Ross N 1851 located the north
magnetic pole approximately at a point
UP i'll Bothia- In 1903 Capt. Road
Amundsen IN the ship Gjoa set out on a
three-year expedition, relocated the
magnetic pole and made the northwest
Passage for which mariners have striven
since the days Of Henry Hudson.
Terrestrial magnetic force is different
in every part Of the earth's surface and
is not always the same at given point.
1t is subject to regular daily and yearly
changes Amundsen posted himself near
the seat of the magnetic power and for
nineteen months, day and night, with
his party took readings OF ter nstru-
ments, both inclination and declination
He also made short excursions into the
region Of the magnetic pole and was able
by the aid of the dec.ination observa-
lions to prove that the magnetic north
pole does not have a stationary situation

eral location is. where Sir James Ross

ton has proven that it Is possible to
bring to time DESERVING husbands and
make them support their families. how
ever much they may want to slip on

for themselves.
Punishment in itself profits nobody.
This law aims not to punish. but to Sc

Judge William H. De Lacy of the Ju-
venile Court sees that he does work
in one way if he will not in the other.
The judge is a good thinker and has
mended so many broken families that
he knows what he can do; and the men
know, too.
Judge De Lacy's Plan.
When a man brought UP for non-sup-

probation and ordered to pay speci-
fled amount from his wages each Sat-

money over to the Juvenile Court. and
then the wife gets 1t in full on Mon
day morning. her pay day.
The money is pretty safe here, ana
the plan heads off many SATURDAY

which is a fine thing of itself, and the
family is kept together.
Judge De Lacy has no patent on TINS
plan Of collecting through the police.
Other courts may well follow It.

support under this arrangement and
those who default in payment or de.
