is seen what an important part this
ship plays in the work Of the depart
ment
Early in June the Carnegie will sail
from brooklyn. this time bound for the
-.orwegian coast. After cruising in the
North Atlantic for several months she
will return to Brooklyn toward the end
OF the present year.
II is planned next year that she will
leave Brooklyn for a r"o-year cruise
in the southern Pacific and south At
lantic between parallel fifty degrees
south and seventy degrees south. whore
but few magnetic data have been OBJ
tanned during the past seventy-iive
years
The Carnegie on her cruise this year
Will be commanded by Capt. J. p. AuIt,
of the most experienced magnetic
clans of the department. Former com
mander of the Carnegie. Capt. W. j. Pc
tiers. will take charge of an important
expedition to secure magnetic data in
the Hudson Bay region.
Many of these expeditions have oeeu
in compare lively uneXplored regions.
and have been attended with more or
less danger and many difficulties nave
had to be surrounded. Happily not
single casualty has thus far occurred
in any of these exploratory expeditions.
With the completion of the various
expeditions planned for this year and
the TWO following years on land and
at seq it is hoped that there will h"
sufficient data To enable the depart
ment to go on with the construction OF
set OF magnetic charts Tor IN,

for the first time upon the material

ly ascertained. The solution of several
of the outstanding questions in terres-
trial magnetism can then be attained.

Comparatively all the material used in
the building of this ship is non-ma@netic,
even the auxiliary engine, which is con-
structed of copper and bronze. All metal
parts of the ship are either of bronze or
copper. SO thar they have absolutely no
effect on the compass. 1t is indeed IN
teres1ing to note that the cutlery uSeo
ON board ship is of Mexican silver. whlle

Magnetic laboratory and experimental
work in connection with the held-ob-
Sensational work are all done on the
first floor. while the office computing
rooms and library will be located on the
second floor. The attic and roof are TO
be used wholly for special observationai
and experimental work DR.. w. +. Swami,
formerly of the University of Sheffield

AS the work of the department OF ter
restral magnetism is mainly observa-
tional the results must be earned on SUI
ficiently remote from all disturbing IN
auences, so that the testing and COM
PARSONS of magnetic instruments and re-
search in atmospheric electricity may De
as accurate as possible. one OF tiie
special reasons for the location OF the
department III Washington is its proN-
unity to the closely related work of Vari-
Gus government departments. as for eN-
ample, the coast and geodetc survey,
which in its magnetic survey OF the
United States co-operateS with thlS de-
partment Also cooperation is carried on
with the Navy Department and all mag
nctic results obtained now on board the
non-magnetic yacht Carnegie are Suppled
to the photographic office to enable II 70
keep its magnetic charts up TO Date
1t NAV be seen, then, that tins de-
partment of the Carnegie Institution
benefits the United States directly by
IT'S willingness to cooperate in this re-
spect. Not only the United States but
foreign countries as well depend on data
supplied to correct its charts.
In the sub-basement of the headquar-
ters for this department is "a special
ly constructed room. 1t is really a room
within a room. Inside the inner room is
a brick pier running up through the floor

account of its sensitiveness, must be free
from the least jar disturbing influence
To make sure of this feature there Is an
air chamber built completely around the
room where a constant temperature Is
maintained Two sets of doors are neces-
sary for the chamber and by these pre-
cautions the highest accuracy may De
obtained from the clock.
The building is of reinforced concrete
and brick and is constructed in such "a
way that heavy apparatus may be
mounted on the walls well as on
the floors In two of the rooms on the
first floor are stone piers, similar to the
one in the clock room. These piers are
also built Independent OF the structure
itself and are used for mounting instru-
ments while in the basement the floors
are specially constructed. These floors
