THE SHIPS COMPASS

TT is a curious fact that the steel hull of a
vessel is rendered magnetic during con-
struction by the hammering of the metal,
and that every steel vessel should, therefore.
have its compass corrected to counteract its
own magnetic lines of force.
The magnetic influence is further compi-
Gated by the load carried by the vessel, if
this load is magnetic or capable of being
magnetized. The ore-carrying vessels of the
Great Lakes experience great difficulties on
this account, and for sometime photographic
authorities have been endeavoring to teach
pilots and captains of vessels plying in this
trade how to check their course by means of
the pelorus.
The pelorus is an instrument similar to
the sundial, being provided with gnomon
and a graduated arc on which shadow of
the gnomon is cast. The instrument is set
in north and south direction, as indicated
by the compass, and then, by noting the
shadow on the graduated arc, it is possible
to tell by comparison with tables just how
far from the north and south position the
gnomon really lies, thus showing the COM
pass error.

4 RINAL OF PRISON-

How far the operating table may
supplant the prison in the correction
of criminal tendencies is problemat-
zeal, but that it is becoming an import
ant factor is anticipated in expert
ments made by Judge Bridgeman of
the Benton Harbor court.
These experiments were made on
two prisoners arrested for burglary.
The men were sent To DR.. f. IL Pratt
of Evanston, H.. for surgical attention
instead of committing them To prison.
When they returned their physical
appearance as well as their mental at
titude was changed. Before the op-
Grafton their shoulders sagged, their
eyes were bleary and their dcmeanor
was sullen and unresponsiVe. When
they returned TO report to Judge
Bridgeman they stood erect. their eyes
were clear and their minds responsive.

in these cases so far encourage the
hope that in this humane manner The
evil tendencies OF many may be cor
rected.
The theory that crime is a disease
is growing in favor. 1t is not an un-
reasonable assumption. and modern

that error is physical rather than

First Of all. | must tell YOU that
il is black. It's home il South Amer

about it was the ornament on its
head. a crest or covering which ap-
peared to be something the shape of a
parasol This distinguishing feature
OF the umbrella bird is composed of
straight, elevated feathers with stiff,
white shafts
The next thing ! noticed was that
the birds neck seemed quite nakedi
But as if to make up for this appar-
eat shortage i'm covering. there was a
cluster of long. dropping glossy,
black metallic feathers below the
breast
The tail was long and slightly
rounded.

group called the chaterers,

its head and mods its fine crest az if

birds live.

you the umbrella bird.
