MAY DISPLACE
THE COMPASS
An instrument Which Indicates Geo.
graphic and Not Magnetic North
Invented.

The magnetic needle is in danger OF
being displaced. The magnetic COM
pass is easily deranged, that is it's one
great disadvantage. Its rival is the
gyro compass.
This device carries compass card
of the ordinary description, and is
placed similarly in the pinnacle. The
heavy disk is mounted within the ma
chine in framework floating on mer-
curry in such a way that the disk is
kept absolutely vertical and the axis
horizontal, in accordance with the
lines laid down by Foucault, the emin-
ent French scientist It is driven by
means of a small electric motor at 90
900 revolutions a minute.
With this instrument the true geo.
graphical and not the magnetic north
is indicated, while, moreover, it is not
affected by the metal in the ship as is
the ordinary magnetic compass.
The gyro compass is the invention
of some German scientists, and in the
land of its origin exhaustive tests
have proved it to be so reliable that
it is now being introduced in to the
German navy. The British admiralty
propose to submit the invention to
searching trials.
The one obvious weak spot is the
rotation of the disk. Should this fall
below the critical speed it would be-
come unreliable in operation, while de.
pendence upon the electric motor
might arouse misgivings. This is not
the first attempt to supplant the an
cient compass, and whether it will
meet with any greater measure OF
success than other efforts In the same
direction time alone can show

The business of demonstrating and
breeding foxes has been carried on in
this island for about twenty years; it
is now past the experimental stages
and promises to develop into a pay
ing industry. In more than one
instance the proceeds of the sale of a
pure black fox skin has paid off a
farm mortgage.
The black fox is very rare. It's pelt
is marketed at London, where the
available supply is offered at auction
four times year. At the sale in
January, 1910, III pelts, varying from
the silver tinged to the pure black,
were offered this year the number at
the midwinter sale was only "a.
The black fox can be bred in con-
finement id all portions of North
America north of the forty-third de-
gree of latitude. BY the application
of the methods which have proven so
successful In Prince Edward island
this industry could be carried on with
profit in the northern sections of
Maine, Vermont, New York, Michigan
Wisconsin and the states bordering
Southwestern Canada.
The fox reaches full growth in from
| eight to nine months. The fur is at its
| best in the months of December
January and February, when the
animal is from 2 to years old. The
: highest degree of care must be exer
cised in taking off the skin. A drop Of
blood or the smallest break or defect
ruins the fur for commercial purposes
To kill the fox it is smothered oil
chloroformed while confined in its
hut or in hollow log.
