"A new style of compass is to be adopt
ed for the navy, which instead OF the
time-houored, cumbersome arrangement
of points, has only $50 degrees marked
from north around to north. With this
compass instead of steering northeast
a man would steer As degrees, and in.
stead of northwest he would steer 3l2
degrees. or course the new compass
encounters opposition. Nothing that
was designed to make mans life or work
easier and simpler ever got through
without opposition from conservatism
and laziness. Some time we may even
get common sense and energy enough to
adopt the metric system Of weights and
measures, though each year under the
old hodge podge binds its chains upon
us more firmly than the preceding.
