Tn the 12th century the compass was the only nautical instrument known, so far as history and research reveal It is a wonderful record of discovery and invention which is laid before one who, remembering this fact. walks about the chart house and pilot house of an ocean liner or war vessel Even now the gyroscopic compass Is supplanting the old one on big ships. How marvellous the ad- vances man has made in navigating on, under and over the water since those days when the compass was the only guide when out of sight of land, save the stars, which imperfect un- derstanding tried to utilize.

Look at it in your own homeI
 It is ever ready to light the dark ness. to keep you cool or warm as the whim seizes you; to toast your bread for breakfast, to iron your clothes, to cook your meals if so you desire.
 You turn a screw, and in the hottest day you are cooled by continuous breezes.
 You lift a receiver off its hook, and by expressing the wish you are con- versing with a friend on the Pacific slope, or across the street. or in the very same building with yourself.
 You are lazy, or in a hurry, and here stands Giant Electricity at your elbow to carry you swiftly down stairs or up stairs, only express your wish to himi
 You would go farther, perhaps. He races with you over the city, turns corners, dashes up streets, into lanes, over hills, past fields and woods and sea-shore and gardens; stops when you bid him: waits, hours if need be, and then. without complaint or mur- muring, starts ffwith you again. as he runs the trolley cars or the electric cab, or the subway, or the l. road, or coaches, and Pullmans, and freight or baggage cars, making joke of work, sniffling at distance, yearning to over come obstacles, and, after the long days work is done, not even requiring a feed of oats, or a draught of water, or a rub down, as poor old Dobbin or Dolly used to whinny for, after their straw hats and harnesses had been removed, and they had been petted and spoken to by their appreciative owners.

The Giant Electricity is no-iaxy mes senger boy, dallying and dawdling along the streets and highways and byways. He may puf and hun a trifie; but it is not from fatigue, as he hurries on his rounds, perhaps on no higher mission than to deliver the roast for your dinner, or that package your wife bought in the store yester- day. or the trunk of Aunt Sarah who is coming down from her home in the hills for little outing in the city, ok the new hammock for the porch. or the lawn mower which is sent back sharp ened, or one of a thousand things needful to ones daily life and comfort and business.

most primitive country stations, these hot days. the prevalence of the auto truck, ready and willing to pick up the what not which the puffing train stops to disgorge, and to glide with them off in every direction. up hill and down dale, distributing them to their various destinations.
 Even more interesting is 1t in the narrow, crowded, city streets and along the docks, and down the steamship piers, and in alleys back of warehouses, and where great girders are piled up, in preparation for bridge or house or church building. to see the ever-helpful and willing power-truck at hand, to tote these burdens which might well stagger Hercules.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-24

Old Giant Electricity goes out into the fields, too, and purrs as contented- ly as the family cat as he 0|<ans up the framework like magic, enabling the owner of the acres to milk or reap or bind his grain, or plant, or blow out stumps, or blow, or mow, anything he may suggest, and there will be no back talk or threats of striking, or hold ing up the boss for higher wages. or going off "on a tare" just in the midst of harvesting. or when the hay is spelling to be cut.
 And this good ogre stays with his master, Man, till the very last. Having done his bidding and his work during his lifetime, he Is ready even to bear him to the grave on noiseless tires yes, to aid in lowering him into his last bed. for his long sleep. Later he will return, to help hoist the heavy granite of a monument, which he has helped quarry. shape, polish and let ter, to its place over his masters grave!

struction of governme armor-plate

tile factory be added to the navy's

be equipped for construction as we'll
as repair work, Secretary Daniels
again lays stress on his theory that
the government should, be able to
build any part of the equipment need
ed for the navy from battleships to
aeI oplane motors in order that true
competition OF private bidders for gov
eminent contracts may be obtained
together with an actual knowledge of
what the cost of construction should

In addition to- the foregoing the re-
pert Includes the following recon-
men1ati ons:

2. Extension of the Navy Reserve
Act for the purpose Of forming re-
radio operators and to increase the
desiraoility OF the reserve service to
honorably discharged enlisted men Of

this Connection will be presented to

CEDERHOLMt ATTENDS
COMMITTEE MEETING
OF ICE COMMISSION

Former Alderman Frederick Ceder-
holm, who was the first to advocate
the establishments Of a municipal ice
and cold storage plant, attended on
Saturday for the first time since his
appointment, a meeting of the COM
mission that is designed to carry out
the project. On resolution of Mr..
Cederholm. it was voted to employ
Fletcher, Thompson & Co.. contract
ing engineers of this city, to make a
survey as to the kind of plant needed
together with the kind of equipment.
There lis a bond issue of 100000 for
the purpGUe of establishing the plant,
but Mr.. Cederholm believes that an
estimate as to its probable cost should
first be procured and other members
of the commission agreed with him.
