This verdict may be added to those

DR.. Ogle is quoted as saying: One
verdict came before me a little time
ago which was this: "A man died
from stone in the kidney, which stone
he swallowed when laying on a gravel
path in state of drunkenness" That
was given as a verdict. l thought
some joke had been played, and
wrote down about it, and found it was
an absolute fact. Another one is
like this: Child three months old,

Equatorial star Finder.

1uently there is great deal of distor.
ton In the relative positions of the
stars. Amateurs who have had to con-
tend with such conditions will appreci.
ate the little device illustrated in the
accompanying engraving from the Sci
entific American whereby one Is able
without any previous knowledge of
astronomy to point to any of the con-
stellations or principal stars. The de-
vice consists of two dials, one of
which is fixed and is marked with the
marked with the hours of the day, and
bears on its face the principal constel-
lations. In use a slide marked To-day
is" Is set at the day Of the month, and
then the movable dial Is turned until
the hour comes up to the same slide
The arrow shown in the illustration Is
carried by sleeve on the rod on
which the dials are mounted. and is
also free to swing on an axis at right
angles to this rod. If 1t be desired to
find certain constellation a pointer
connected with the arrow Is moved
over the dial until the slot In the point
er uncovers the name of the constella-
ton that is sought. Each constellation
bears number with the plus or minus
sign indicating north or south declina-
ton. This indicates that the arrow
must be swung ON its axis until a pin
on the sleeve is brought into register
with the declination number on an arc
carried by the arrow. This done the
arrow points to that part of the
heavens in which the constellation lies.
The principle, of course. is the same
as that of the equatorial telescope.
The rod on which the dials are mount
ed must lie parallel with the axis of
the earth; that is, it must point direct
ly toward the north pole of the hea-
vens. The instrument may be used
conversely to indicate the name of any
bright star or constellation toward
which the arrow is directed. 1t also
shows sidereal time, which may be
read off opposite the graduation for
March 81.
