III INDLY inform me whether
X or not a South magnetic
pole exists, and also the
workings Of the magnetic compass
in either case. Your explanation
win settle a lOng-standing argu-
ment on the subject-E. H. Kp
Brooklyn.
Yes, a South magnetic pole
exists, and its location was last
determined by the Shackleton ex-
pedition Of 1909. It was. then at
y dc~rees, 5 minutes south lati-
tudC, and l55 degrees, is minutes
east longitude, lying in that part
of the Antarctic Continent which
faces Australia. The location Of
the north magnetic pole has not
so recently been determined, the
observations Of Sir James Ross
in 1881 being still used. He
found the pole at 20 deg. .05 min.
North latitude and So deg. as min.
West latitude, in the northeastern
corner of North America.
If you will take a globe and
mark these two points on 1t, you
will see that the magnetic poles
not only lie far from the geo
graphic poles, which are the ends
of the earth's axis of rotation, but
that the magnetic poles are not
exactly opposite to one another,
as the geographic poles are A
straight line piercing the earth
from one magnetic pole TO the
other would not pass through the
earth's center, or touch the AXIS
of rotation, but would run askew
to the axis and lie entirely in that
half of the globe which carries
the Pacific ocean.
A Popular DelusiOn.
The magnetic compass has so
great a repute everywhere that it
seems impossible to destroy the
popular delusion that it indicates
the true north and south line. 1t
does that only along two irregular
lines on the earth's surface, one
running longitudinally through
the eastern half of America, cut
ting the Great Lakes, and the
other similarly crossing eastern
Europe.
Everywhere between these lines
(called isognals, or lines Of equal
magnetic declination) the needle
points east or west of true north,
according to the location with re-
gard to and the distance from the
isognal lines. Besides, the COM
pass needle is subject to many
disturbances, such as those pro-
duced by deposits Of iron or mag
netic ore, which may greatly
change its direction of pointing.
In a word, nobody should rely
upon the indications Of a compass
unless he has the most trust
worthy means Of correcting them.
. All that can usually be expected
from it is that It will give a fair
general idea Of which way north
and south lie. What makes the
case still worse is the fact that

am sure from what you say
that you naturally prefer a calm
and harmonious atmosphere to a
cyclonic one. Therefore II would
be not only the part Of wisdom,
but also the part Of goOd-breeding
TO suppress that quick remark or
comment which rises so readily to
your lips.
She Is PeFplexed.
You are perplexed and wounded
because your teacher occasionally
reprimands you when you have
meant no disrespect You will
have to look at this apparent injus-
tiee in broader way. Your in
dividual qualities, which might de-
light and interest your teachers
il they met you socially, would be
quite out Of place in the class
room.
There not only a standard Of
class scholarship must be main
tanned, but a standard Of class be-
haviOr as well. And each scholar
must conform to il. If you say
something thoughtlessly which
sounds impertinent, although you
may not have intended Il so, then
the same reproof must be dealt to
you as to the girl who is deliber-
ately and Intentionally imperti-
nent. In no other way can dis
Cipline and order be maintained.
Teachers Side.
II is also only fair for you TO
consider the teachers side. She
may seem to you a terrlfyingly
competent and learned and self
possessed young lady, but she, too,
has her own private troubles and
worries. There are probably days
in her life when she would rather
die than present her smiling face
IN the class room.
She is not immune from tooth
ache and heartache and discour-
agement and regret any more than
you are. And If she is your supe-
rior Officer she also has her su-
perior officers lurking in the on
ing. II is even quite conceivable Q
that like the rest of US she, too,
says hasty things she wishes she
hadn't.
And don't be too desperately
anxious to be always on your
good behavior and try to be too
proper. II will make you appear
stiR aud awkward and stilted and
affected. And that Is much worse
even than being impertinent. II
you don't learn all at once to
correct your impetuous speech,
don't cry yourself to sleep about
your lapses. Resolve 70 do better
tomorrow and forget them-quick.

variations from the north-sOuth
line, at any place-sloWly changes
so that new observations are con-
tinually required to keep the mag
netic charts that show the decli-
nation up to date, or as nearly so
as possible.
Fixing Location.
The location Of the magnetic
poles is determined by observations
Of the behavior Of the needle as it
is carried near to and around
them. AS one or the other Of the
magnetic poles is approached the
dip or downward inclination of the
needle increases. In ordinary
cOmpasses, for ordinary use, the
needle is so balanced that the
dipping tendency is mechanically
corrected, bU for magnetic explo-
ratiOns a special form of compass
is employed, called the dipping
needle, which Is suspended on a
horizontal axis, so that it can turn
in a vertical plane. When such a
compass is directly over one Of
the magnetic poles the needle
points straight downward, indicat-
ing that the lines Of magnetic
force at that point run vertically
into the earth. A general idea.
but not an accurate one, can be
obtained Of the distance Of the
magnetic pole from the place Of
observation by noting the dip Of
the needle. The dip shows that
the polar center of force lies inside
the earth and not on the surface.
