NEEDLE COMPASS PASSES
Magnetic Affair Superseded
Gyroscopic instrument

The magnetic compass-the nee
die" of the sailor-is doomed In
warships and the great liners it is
now being replaced by the gyroscopic
compass whose governing principle
is that the axle of rapidly rotating
disc tends always to align itself with
the axle of the earth. In fact, the
shaft of every flywheel, of every dy-
namo and motor, is striving vainly,
against the restraint of its bearings,
to turn to the geographic north. This
directive action of the earth is very
feeble, but, in the gyroscopic COM
pass, 1t is reinforced by electric pow
er, so that it shall act instantly at
any change of the ships course and
thus keep the axle of the disc al
ways pointing northward. In effect,
then, this axle is now the needle. ="
In 1851 Foucault, the French physi-
cist, while demonstrating the rota-
ton of the earth, detected this effect
of the terrestrial action on the gyro-
scope which he was using. His dis
covery is the basic principle of the
gyroscopic compass as perfected
sixty years later by an American
engineer Elmer A. Speery. Thirty
five of our battleships and twenty
of our submarines are now equipped
with it; it is used also by many for
eign navies. In battleships the
placed in the cage mast to reduce
the effect upon 1t of the tons Of steel
in the hull. The nonmagnetic gyro-
scopic compass Is located in pro-
tected position below the water line,
and, by electricity, actuates auxiliary
repeating compasses at the wheel
marine the magnetic compass is sub
jected to many disturbing influences
and is almost useless, while the gyro-
scopic compass is unaffected.
True as the needle to the pole" is
poetic license, since the needle points
to the magnetic, not the geographic
pole, and it is DETECTED from the
magnetic north by the amount of the
variation" due to local magnetic
conditions and by that of the "devia-
ton" due to the fact that steel
ship is itself a magnet. In changing
his course, the navigator must allow
for both these factors in his fairly
complex problem. When all is said,
however, the passing of the magnetic
needle from it's long and noble SER
vice on the oceans of the world will
bring a thrill of regret to many an
old sailor.-Philadelphia Record.

PUBLIC BUILDING FOR
MT. VERNON


The news COLUMNS Of the Banner to-
day carry an important item from
Washington which is Of much local in
serest to the people ofMt. Vernon, and
will be read with a great deal Of inter.
est. II Is in reference to the bill just
introduced by Congressman William
A. Ashbrook providing for the pur.
chase Of a site and the erection of a
government building in Mt. Vernon.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
100000 for the purpose, an amount
which should secure a very handsome
public building for this city.
Congressman Ashbrook is In Pc
euIiarIy influential position In connee.
ton with the matter. and the fact that
he has got back Of the project Of a
federal building for Mt. Vernon, and
introduced a bill for the purpose,
means that such a structure will be
erected in this city and at very ear
iy dey. Mr.. Ashbrook is member Of
the committee on public buildings and
chairman of a committee empowered
to locate government buildings In ten
states, among them being Ohio. He Is
also chairman Of committee having In
charge the report of the commission
recently appointed to standardize pub
tic buildings. II will, therefore, readi-
iy be seen that his position in the mat
ter is one Of the greatest influence, and
that his recommendation Of building
for Mt. Vernon means that II will be
built. His position, also, is such that
the work of erecting the building will
be pushed along with all possible
speed. He expresses the confident
opinion that the building will be COM
Pieted and ready for occupancy by the
eestoffice in about two years.
Mr. Ashbrook's action in this mat
ter sustains his reputation Of being a
'live-wire" and a congressman who
does things, and 1t will be greatly ap.
preeiated by the people Of Mt. Vernon,

tom. From the well drilled Demo
cratic crews came no sound, not even
laughter. They saw in the blunder-
ing maneuvers the unworthy end a
great organized force. There was a
piteous feature to the sight they saw
that depressed. Competence had
met incompetence. Organization met
disorganization. 1t was not battle,
not even skirmish. 1t had a fune-
real aspect.
There will be no great campaign in
Ohio this year. The Republicans
have no organization, no leaders.
There is no fighting force ready for
the struggle. Scattered bands of po-
htical pillagers will seek to continue
bushwhacking warfare, but there
will be no decisive contest.
Republicans all want to be leaders.
No one is willing to enlist as a work
man, as gunner, as a fighting man.
An unorganized group of designing
political looters and would be COM
manders, will give fight to no one.
What desecration that such un-
worthy incompetents should seek to
wear the emblem of authority that
once graced the shoulders of Mark
Hanna, real fighting commander.
The Democrats may we'll save their
fire. Mark Hanna is dead.

TREASURE
Quest Too Costly For Spirit
Believer
Would Mind Amount If Gold
Had Been Found

st. Louis, July 25-Kelsey Marriott,
who is suing Mrs. Augusta Pelinski, a
clairvoyant, for $4,000 alleged to have
been paid to her to reveal hidden
treasure which she did not reveal, con-
fided to a reporter that the sum sued
for is less than half OF the sum ex-
pended in the treasure quest In all,
he says, $1,000 was paid to clairvoy-
ants. And even that, according to the
clairvoyants, was not enough to in
duce the spirits to disclose the COLDS
hiding place.
Marriott was formerly postmaster
at Browns, ILL.,, There is tradition
that 100000 in gold was buried one
hundred years ago IN bearskin on
the bank of Bumpas Creek, near
Browns, by the Indians or the French.
Marriott and his friend. L. D. Leach,
of Golden Gate, consulted man at
Olney, who was reputed to be able
to find lost treasure without anybody
asking him any questions.
The Olney seer told them there was
treasure buried in Bumpas Creek and
when he came Marriott drove him
out to the creek. When rabbit
jumped up from beside stump the
professor said the rabbit and the
stump were just like the one he had
seen in vision the spirits had vouch-
safed to him the night before, and
there was the place to dig.
Marriott dug and the Olney pro-
fessor scratched through the over
turned soil. Presently he held up a
wad of hair, and without hesitation
bearskin. Wrapped in it was piece
Of mineral four inches long in the
shape of a duck that looked like
gold. On more thorough examina-
ton of the hair he gave the opinion
| that 1t was a scalp.
A few days later the professor
said the spirits were displeased with
, the removal of the gold and he
would have to put it back or they
would not reveal the hiding place
of the rest of the treasure. He re-
turned to the spot, loosened the soil
with the toe of his shoe, made a
pass over it and said the gold had
returned into the ground.
He was given 5000 and promised
to come back and show them right
where the treasure was, but he never
came.
Marriott came to ST. Louis and
consulted a professor" on Lafayette
avenue. This man was willing to go
to Browns for his expenses. He went
and burned some incense ON Bumpas
Creek, talked Latin and made
to-do, but there was nothing doing.
The professor advised Marriott to
see Mrs. Pelnski. She told him the
treasure was undoubtedly there by
the creek and from the looks of it
there must be a million dollars at
least. She and the professor told him
that for $1,000 they would combine
their powers and the treasure would
reveal itself, Leach furnished the
$1,000, and Marriott says he gave
each $500. They had to burn some
very expensive incense and it would
take quite while.
The first thing, she said, she would
have to so to lake up north where

It was good and quiet and do some
work on the spirits. Afterward she
told Marriott that when the spirits
were ready they would push the
treasure up out of the ground She
told him to go out to Bumpas Creek
and see If the ground was beginning
not. Finally she told him that there
was some kind of a mix-up among
the spirits and she could do nothing

RITcHIE EAGER TO
 MEET FRED WELSH.
Former Lightweight Champ Wants to Wipe Out the Defeat He Suffered.

Willie Ritchrie, former lightweight champion of the world. is creating some little interest in his doings by offering to box Freddie Welsh. He announces to the world that the burn ing desire of his life is to wipe out the defeat he suffered at the hands oi the Englishmsn. He even went so far as to announce his readiness to make l35 pounds at 5 o'clock.
 Scotty Montieth, the manager of Johnny Dundee, believes that Ritchie is stalling. He says that Ritchie could not make 135 pounds on the day of battle if. to use the vernacuIar, .'he cut off a leg" Montieth told a story which is fairly convincing. According to Scotty. Tom McCarey offered Ritchie a guarantee of $7,500 for a 20-round bout with Dundee, the weight to be 135 pounds. Ritchie refused to make the weight. holding out for bout at catchwetghts.
 The willing Dundee agreed, but un- der condition that Ritchie step on the scales and let his true weight be known. Even this proposal could not please Ritchie. He said he would not weight in, but would guarantee not to be over 142 pounds.
 Ritchte was certainly playing it safe. He was only asking a handicap of some 16 pounds, for Dundee could box at 126 pounds and be at his best.
