GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
WAY TO FIND LATITUDE
Your Watch Will Indicate Longitude and Sun
Will Show True North and West

during the afternoon will lengthen
again. Mark the places where 1t
touches the same circles in the
afternoon. Then draw a line, as
from "a to OBJ in the sketch,
and through the center Of this
line draw another line from the
base Of the pin. This last line
will indicate true north and
south, or the meridian"
For finding latitude and longi-
tide you need two simple instru-
ments, viz: a true-running watch
for longitude, and an angle
measurer, such as a sextant, Tor
latitude. Set your watch to the
time of some prime meridian
THAT Of Greenwich is used gen.
orally all over the world, for
convenience, and keep it running
on that time, no matter where
you go.
Then the difference between
the time indicated by your watch
and the local time of the place
where you are will tell you how
far that place is in longitude
from the prime meridian. II :he
local time says noon when the
watch says p. m, the place
must be IS degrees west Of the
meridian whose time you are
carrying. Every degree equals
four minutes of time, so that Is
degrees equal one hour. AS the
sun appears to move from east
to west it rises sooner at a place
in the East than at a place in
the West. There is the whole
Soorof IF Ionc>iflIAA
For finding latitude which is
measured in degrees, either
north or south, beginning at the
course either to the pole star or
above the horizon, or their dis
overhead), gives clue to the
latitude. Thus, the elevation OF
the pole is equal in degrees to
the latitude of the observer.
Again you must make allow
ance for the fact that the north
star is not exactly at the pole,
but this is easily done with the
aid of the Nautical Almanac or
of little knowledge OF the
starry heavens.
The elevation (altitude) OF the
sun on the meridian, subtracted
from 80 degrees, gives the lati-
tude directly. but only when the
sun is on the equator. If it is
north or south of the equator
calculations a little too compli-
Gated to be briefly stated here
are required. For a beginner II
is better to depend upon the pole
star method.

How can 1 find my latitude
and longitude, day and night,
and how find true north?"
TE5IS, as a friendly reader re-
i marks, is one Of the ques-
tons which bring back haunting
memories Of school-days, and Of
things that were once half COM
pretended and then dropped.
1t may be better to answer the
last part Of the question first.
Everybody knows that at night
one can find north by the north
star" or pole star" which hap
pens to be almost straight above
the north pole of the earth.
To get true north" by the pole
star, however, you must allow
for the fact that the star is a lit
tie over one degree from the true
pole, around which it travels once
every twenty-four hours. The
Nautical Almanac" gives the
dates and hours when the pole
star is either directly over or
directly under the pole, and at
such times, Of course, the stars
direction is true north.
