DEVIATION OF THE COMPASS
Only at Certain Points Does the Mag
netlc Needle Point Due North
and South.

Soon after the compass was invented
It was noticed that 1t did not point
true north and south. For long time
1t was supposed that this deviation
or declination was everywhere the
same until Columbus, on his way to
America in 1892, discovered near the
Azores place Of no declination. Maps
now published by the different govern
ments give lines Of equal declination.
In the extreme eastern section Of the
United States the declination is a.
much as 20 degrees west. This de-
creases to zero at a place near Cncin-
natl, O., and becomes an easterly decli-
nation amounting to 20 degrees east
in the northwest.
The discovery as to dip" was made
nearly 100 years after the time OF Co
lumbus. 1t was found that If COM
pass needle is perfectly balanced so
that it can swing up and down as well
as sideways its north-seeking pole Will
dip down at considerable angle. This
angle increases as one goes farther
north, and decreases as one goes south.
In the southern hemisphere the north
seeking pole OF a needle points up in
the air.
During Shackleton's south polar ex-
petition, a point was found on the
great antarctic continent where a
needle would hang vertically with Its
north-seeking pole on top.

Arms of Washington.

The arms which Washington used
are heraldically described as follows:
Argent silver, two bars gules red, In
chief three mullets STARS of the Sec
ond, gules red. The crest: A raven
with wings addorsed, sable (black), is
suing out of a ducal coronet, or gold.
Although these arms were used by
Washington, the arms Of the family In
Yorkshire are materially different,
bearing lion and being surmounted
by a crest with an eagle, not a raven.
The Yorkshire arms We're the original
arms, according to Albert Welles,
whose Pedigree and History of the
Washington Family gives with edify-
ing detail the descent of the Father Of
His Country from Odin, first king Of
Scandinavia. Fifty-five generations
were required to evolve George Wash
ington from Odin.

USE FOR MIDDLE AGED MAN
That He ls "Fit Only for the Scrap
Heap" Denied by Chicago
Capitalist.

To cheat the scrap heap of mer
over forty-five years is the purpose OF
a committee Of 10 large employers
recently organized in Chicago with
BENJAMIN J. Rosenthal. capitalist
at its head. The committee was or
ganized. Mr.. Rosenthal said, to upset
the fallacious theory that men between
the ages of forty-five and sixty-fve
are fit only for the scrap heap"
Twenty middle aged men whom we
have enlisted will be employed by one
of the largest houses In Chicago" said
Mr.. Rosenthal. 1.-THE head Of this
house, to make an efficiency test, will
put them in the correspondence de-
partment. Alongside of them will be
20 young men and each individual
will get the same work to do.
eff they do half as much work as
the younger men they will be paid half
as much. If their efficiency is equal
to the younger mems they will receive
the same salary. Recently took a
score of experienced middle aged men
and put them to work wrapping par
cells in large concern beside 20 young
men. They did as much work as the
younger and in some instances more.

I A MBITIOUS plans are being made
II for the 1917 Virginia State Fair,
with every indication that the
tremendous farming activities result
ing from the necessity Of Increased
food production will put the exposition
far ahead Of any of Its predecessors.
Large crops and larger live stock oper-
ations, 1t is believed, will mean better
specimens for exhibiting, while the de-
mand for farm products, together with
good prices, will stimulate interest and
attendance from the rural districts.
War, the experience Of Canada has
shown, has had no effect on the fairs
In the Dominion other than to make
them more interesting and better. The
Canadian National Exhibition at To
ronto, Ont, of which DR.. Orr is gen.
eral manager, has been a huge success
since the outbreak of the war In Eu-
rope, in which Canada Is playing such
a conspicuous part. DR.. Orr has made
an interesting announcement In regard
to Canadian fairs during the war.
Not a Single Exhibition Is Closed by
War.
DR.. Orr's report states that there are
8S2 exhibitions of fairs In Ontario
alone and that as far as he knows not
one Of them closed down on account OF
the war, all following the precedent es-
tablished by the Canadian National
Exhibition, and Notwithstanding the
fact that $4,000 men had gone to the
front from the Toronto district alone
and the tremendous patronage OF
American tourists and visitors had
been entirely eliminated because OF
silly rumors that visitors to Canada
must have passports and that they
were liable to military service if they
entered Canada, the attendance at the
Toronto Fair jumped to 1854, 900 In 1915
an increase Of 10000 over the at
tendance Of 1914, while the attendance
In 1915 amounted to 10000.

awaited with deep interest" continue.

ProAtmonoerlna.

To those who dislike that intruder
into the English speech, "profteering,
there is at hand the more formidable
word "profitmongering." For good old
"monger," which merely means "deal-
err" has its roots deep in the past
the shady past. In Sanscrit 1t means
70 deceive" and although there are
Lvnest mongers Of fish or iron, the
practices Of too many other sorts of
dealers have deeply tainted the word,
as all scandalmongers know. Trading
and cheating are sometimes closely
related, and even Ireland's Great
Book Of the Law" gave legal sanction
to the kinship. That venerable docu-
ment defines the three rents Of land
the fair rent (Which member of
the clan paid, the stipulated rent, and
the rack rent, imposed upon the
stranger. The stranger suffered so
much under this ancient village COM
munity law that the ''monger" in time
became a somewhat disreputable per-
.son.-London Chronicle.

How Hard Rubber 10 Made,

We're all Of US coming In contact
with hard rubber every day Of our
lives. Our fountain pen, our inkwell
tops, the magnetic parts and telephone
receivers are all made Of hard rubber.
But how Is 1t made? Where does it
differ from the rubber in an automo-
bile tire, for instance? Well wager q
guess that not one man IN a thousand
knows.
determination consists Of uniting sui
phur with rubber to give 1t certain
properties Of elasticity, durability and,
still more important, make it to retain
these same properties under all normal
conditions of heat and cold.
When a larger proportion Of sulphur
than is found in ordinary soft rubber
is present and vulcanization is contin.
ued for a much longer time we obtain
as result a substance vastly different
In physical properties-hard rubber.
Before yulcanization it is quite elastic
and we can mold 1t to suit our needs

COOS ARE RICH IN PROTEIN
,Ninety-seven Per Cent Of Portion
Eaten 10 Digested and Shell 10
Only Part Wasted.

The principal food element fur
nished by eggs is protein. the nitro
genous tissue-building element whose
presence in considerable proportion
also gives meats, fish. milk, cheese.
etc., their special food value. Eggs
can, therefore. be substituted in the
diet for the latter foods without ma
terlally altering the protein con-
suIned,
In addition, eggs also furnish fat
and a number Of valuable mineral ele-
ments, including sulphur, phosphorus,
iron, calcium and magnesium, In an
easily assimilable form, and are be-
heved also to be rich in certain essen
tial vitalizing elements called vitam-
fns.
Like milk and unlike meats. eggs
do not contain certain substances con-
vertible in the body into uric acid.
Their shells constitute the only waste
materials. Ninety-seven per cent OF
the portion eaten-a high proportion
compared to other foods-is digested.
No extended cooking is necessary
for eggs, and there is, therefore, a
saving Of time, labor and fuel In their
preparation when they are compared
with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
an important place in the diet for use
at times in place Of other foods rich
in protein, provided egg prices are
not so high as to outweigh the other
considerations.

The Berkeley campaniie.

The erection of S00-foot campanila
at the University of California, al
Berkeley, Cal, has been delayed by
the lack of data on this character OF
building. This project has been under
way for long time, and the unusual
nature Of the work required that the
builders should study up previous ex.
periences of this kind and the result
was that designers and builders were
unable to find much that would be Of
value to them in the present case.
The campanile has been completed at
last, and it is thought to be proof
against earthquake shock. 1t is Of
steel and Reinforced concrete with a
facing of granite. 1t is 303 feet high
and "a feet wide at the base.
