SCOUTS DAILY GOOD TURN.

Jacob Riis called the good turn "the
core of the boy scout movement" It
Is this feature itself, based upon the
ideal Of service to ones fellow man,
that has helped to give the movement
force and virility and each individual
scout a strength of character which
carries him through hard places.
1t is not doing thing for credit, not
doing 1t for praise, not always because
1t is necessary, but because it is the
attention one should pay to another.
Some good turns are noticed, some
talked about, others spectacular-these
are very valuable; but the backbone
Of scouting is the many thousands of
little good turns done each day by boy
scouts in every corner Of the country.

sented that If an instrumen, could be
devised that would keep accurate time
Mt sea. 1t would be possible to find the
longitude of n ships position whenever
weather conditions were favorable.
| Time at the ship could be determined
by an east or west observation of the
sun, morning or afternoon, worked out
by accepted tables. If the time Of a
given point on shore was known

would give the longitude Of the ship.
England was the first nation to cope
with this great problem. In 1714 it ap-
pointed commissioners for the Dis
covery of Longitude at Sea-" and au-

His first great feat was the production

took to the royal commission. 1t was
tested by the commission by being
sent on voyage to Lisbon.
The test was not decisive, and Har-

nometer, seeking the great prize, for a
period Of 20 years. In 1861, when six
ty-eight years old, Harrison announced
that he had solved all problems in
