Magnetic North.
Engineer F. H. Dewart, John H.
Senter and c.. A. G. Jackson went
Saturday to the grounds of Montpelier
seminary where the government in
1911 erected stones establishing the
direction of true north and found a
difference beween true and the mag
netic north was ID degrees and 40
minutes. Several tests were made in
different instruments and this differ
ence appeared to be the closest that
could be arrived at Instead of the
variation being three and one-half
degrees a year as the government
reported they found it was almost six
degrees year. This information will
be found valuable to those who have
occasion to make use of the magnetic
