Mysteries of the
Earth S Magnetism,
BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

IF a compass were held directly
over the North pole what would be
the effect upon ftp. r. B."
Its "points''-east, west, north
and south-would all be blended
into One-all would become south.
The north end and the south end
of the needle would both stimuli
taneously point south, because south
is the only direction on the earth's
surface that exists at the North
pole. and the entire circle of the
horizon there is a south horizon.
Two men standing back to back on
the pole would both be looking
south notwithstanding the fact that
their faces were turned in opposite
directions. South would extend all
around them. However. there would
be ways in which they could tell
when they were facing particular
places on the earth.
But you must not. as is too COM
monty done. confuse the north
geographic pole with the north
magnetic pole. According to my
experience. there are astonishingly
few persons, except those whose oc-
cupation requires that they should
know the facts about these things.
who clearly understand the dis
tinction between magnetic north
and geographic north.
The north geographic pole is the
north end of the axis around which
the earth rotates, and the direc-
ton in which it lies from any point
on the earth is true north. The
compass needle pays no attention
to this pole, but obeys force
which causes it to keep one end
directed toward an entirely differ
ent pole, the north magnetic pole
which is situated at the northern
edge of North America. about 1900
miles south Of the geographic pole
If YOU go north OF that point your
needle will swing round. completely
turning its back, so TO speak. on the
true north pole, in order to keen
the direction of the magnetic pole
So too. there is a southern mag
netic pole. at the edge Of the Ant
arctic continent, south of Australia
toward which the southern end of
the needle is directed. and which Is
an entirely different thing from the
south geographic pole. whose direc-
ton from any point on the earth is
true south.
Now If You could place your COM
pass over magnetic pole its be-
haVior would be very different from
that which il displays at a geog-
raphic pole. The needle would. il Il

The magnetic compass is by no
means the sure guide that il is gen
orally supposed TO be. Only in Ger

drawn from Lake Superior 10 South
Carolina. does IL indicate true

Between the two the declination
Is everywhere westerly, while out
side of the area included between
them it is, with certain exceptions
everywhere easterly. The swinging
toward the east Of the line (agonic
line il is called), which Columbus
encountered at sea with so much
surprise. is indicated by records
which show that in 1880, nearly a
hundred years after Columbus
discovery the needle at London
pointed II degrees east Of north
but the declination decreased until
1867, when the needle at London
pointed true north. Then il began
10 point west Of north. and by 1916
II had attained a westerly declin-
alton of "a degrees - minutes
After that it reversed its course.
the line of no declination drifting
back again, and in 1915 the needle
at London was pointing only Is de-
grees west. The expecta ton is
that by 1876 it will once more
point true north at London. Similar
changes occur in this country. and
new magnetic maps indicating the
latest declination of the needle
have to be made every few years.
Various explanations have beer
offered TO account for these pecul-
iarities. The earth being a great
magnet, with vast masses Of iron
within. some have thought that
periodic displacemeuts OF magnetic
material in the earth may cause the
variations.
Some observations indicate that
besides the magnetic pole beneath
northern North America, there is
another, subsidiary. one beneath
northern Siberia. This mi.ht ex-
plain the position Of the agonic
lines, but the reason for the oscilli-
ton Of those lines. now travelling
for centuries eastward, and then
reversing their course for other
centuries, requires another explana-

FIRST WASHlNGTONIAN
RETURNS FROM FRONT
sergt. Hugh a. Clements at Walter
Reed Hospital-Mother, 7s Years
Old, overjoyed.

The first Washington soldier to re-
turn nome from the battle front has
arrived at Walter Reed Hospital, He
is Sergt. Hugh II. Clements. forty
two. veteran of two wars and son of
civil war nurse. Their meeting at
the hospital was one of joy. In fact,
Mrs. Jeanette Clements, aged sew
enty-eight. mother of the sergeant.
was so overcome with happiness she
cried.
The story of the Clements family
IN wars of this country is one of ro-
NANCE and heroism. The mother. a
southern girl of sixteen, cared for the
wounded soldiers at Seven Pines. Ma
nassas and Petersburg. and met her
soldier lover and married. Two hoys
were born. One was killed in battle
during the Spanish american war,
leaving Sergt. Hugh Clements the only
son. Hugh. too. fought in the Span
ish-American war, but he escaped in
jury.
Since that war Mrs. Clements and
her son lived at 2714 p street. Later
Hugh became guard at the State,
war and Navy building, When Ger
many was declared an enemy of this
country Sergt. Clements attempted to
enlist, but was rejected on account of
his age. Not deferred, he approa ched
the Secretary of War and persuaded
him to grant special dispensation in
order that he might uphold the tradi-
tions of his family. He was assigned
to the Rainbow Division and was
wounded and gassed at Chateau
Thierry last July.
