Loaf a magnetized needle on
r. a piece of cork on water, and
the needle will soon come to
rest in the north and south line. In
stead of floating it on water, the
magnetic needle may be suspended
horizontally by it's middle point with
fine thread and the north and
south line will be indicated. This
north and south" of the magnetic
needle is in most places nearly the
geographical mort hand south, but
not exactly so. The magnetic com.
pass used by sailors. explorers, and
surveyors to find directions is mere
ly an improved form Of this simple
magnetic needle.
In the common pocket compass
the magnetized needle is mounted on
a pivot in the center of a circular
scale marked north, south, east and
west. You hold the compass so
that the marked end of the needle
points to the north" mark on the
scale; you can then read on the scale
the direction in which you are going.
The mariners compass is a more
perfectly adjusted instrument. In
stead Of one needle there are sever
al, attachd to the under surface of
thin round sheet of paper or mica,
called the card" which is so sup.
ported at the center that it turns
freely with the needles. The bearing
is usually tiny plate Of agate let
into the card. resting on a needle
point Of hard steel or some such
hard alloy as osmindiumiridium.
The card and needles are supported
in a big hollow bowl or a ring OF
copper, since copper "damps" the
vibrations of the needles-that is
causes them to come to a rest quick.
ly. The same effect is obtained in
some compasses by partly floating
the card on liquid. This compass
box" in turn is supported on "gim.
balls" two copper rings so arranged
that they allow the compass-box to
tip freely in any direction and thus
remain horizontal however the ship
may pitch or roll. The whole appa.
ratus is placed on a pedestal OF
pinnacle" in front of the steersman,
The cardinal points"-north, east
south and west, are marked on the
compass card, and the space between
is further divided into half points,
quarter points, eighth points and de-
grees. A vertical black line Is
drawn on the inside of the compass
box exactly in line with the keel
Of the vessel, and as the ship
changes it's course, the card swings
so that the point marked north
points directly to the north magnetic
pole, the mark opposite the vertical
black line indicates the ships new
direction. Thus, if the helmsman is
to steer southwest, he turns the
ship by means of the rudder until the
point marked S. w. is exactly in
line with the vertical line on the COM
pass box.

cal poles, the compass reading is not
geographically correct and has to be
corrected by complicated calcular
ions. The difference between the
compass reading and the corrected
eading is called the magnetic varia-
ion. Allowance must also be made
'or the deviation Of the needle caused
~ the attraction of iron used in the
construction Of the ship. This devia-
ion is sometimes counteracted by
placed bars of magnetic steel below
he compass.
lT HE Introduction Of the coma
pass brought about
- revolution in the art of navi,
cation quite as momentous as the
revolution which gunpowder made in
the art Of warfare.
For thousands of years after men
had learned the use of ships, they re.
manned timid and unadventurous
mariners, for the most part only
skirtlng the shores and sailing by
day. They had no instruments for
determining their course and. po-
sition at sea, and though they knew
enough about the stars to get from
them a general notion of the
direction in which they were sailing,
they had no way Of making this
knowledge accurate and precise.
Without the mariners compass, Co.
lumbus would never have dared to
strike boldly across the Atlantic
and discover the New World, and
Vasco da Cana could never have
rounded the Cape Of Good HopeaG
discover the sea route to the IndieA.
Crude compasses were In use as
early as the thirteenth century for
sailing the Mediterranean. Prob
ably the earliest form of compass is
that described by an Arabian writer
in 1882, who tells us that a magne-
tized needle floated on water BY
means Of a splinter of wood, was en-
ployed in the Mediterranean. The
lodestone and its properties had been
known in Europe and Asia at least
1900 years before this date, but there
is no authentic record of its use in
navigation before the thirteenth
century. BY the time OF Columbus.
the crude floating magnet had bee
improved into much the form ~
our modern compass.
In the modern surveyors compass
the needle swings over a disc di.
vided into degrees. minutes and sec.
onds. BY system of levels, sights
and screws, 1t is possible to calcu-
late directions with very great ac-
curacy. Since 1911 a gyro-compass.
which does not depend in any way
upon the earth's magnetism has
been in use for naval vessels.

Intolerance.

It's a very grave fault-intolerance.
1t may warp and sour your nature
so that you will lose all the friends
you ever had, and will find yourself
unable to make new ones.
Perhaps You don't realize that
you're intolerant. Sometimes, unless
you've been brought up to avoid this
particular evil. you will think your
self the most broad-minded person in
the world until somebody one day has
; the courage to tell you the truth i.bout
yourself
Usually when you're confronted
with thes fact that you possess this
grave fault, d lot of damage has been
done already-you may already have
lost many friends and admirers.
SO it might be a good thing to give
your mind thorough overhauling
right now. and figure out for yourself
just where you stand on this ques-
ton.
Are you the sort of person who be-
lieves that people of a certain religion
are all right in their way-but that
really they're not quite as nice as
! those of your own denomination?
Then get rid of that idea at once. For
that belief of yours will unconscious
ly color your converse ton and man.
ner toward those whose choice of
religion you deem to be unfortunate.
| Boys and girls of the particular creed
you dislike will in time feel your in
! tolerance toward them, and they'll
drift away
Do you condemn people because
| their habits are such as you've been
| brought up to believe are bad? Then
| try to lose that sense of condemna-
ton, and don't above all things let
the boys hear you passing judgment
on people whom you've no right to
Judge. Nothing sets a modern boy so
much against a girl az the realization
| that she's narrow-minded prig who
delights in showing her superiority to
| her unrighteous friends.
Suppose Lila does smoke, and you
| consider smoking Il bad habit You
mustn't go around confiding to your
| friends that you think Lila must be
rather fast
! You shouldn't even harbor that feel
| ing against her. Her ideas of life and
| manners may be entirely different
! from yours, and your intolerance of
| her only puts you in bad light.
Girls are much too young and fool
ish themselves to display intolerance
of other peoples ideas, morals and re-
| ligion
Every time you show this particular
little trait of refusing to see the other
fellows point of view, you are putting
| yourself in wrong.
| Instead of condemning what you
! don't undeStand-what you don't be-
| lleve in-juSt pass the matter up and
say nothing about it.
You'll gain a great deal more by a
! sincere effort to understand your
Ineighbors and friends, than by scath-
| ing denunciation of those habits of
| theirs which you believe to be wrong
| Take a thorough stock of your
mind-and put out intolerance if you

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The Union Jack. "


THE Star Spangled Banner ex-
plains itself; likewise, the "Tricolor"
of France. But who put the Jack in
Union Jack? This curious term,
which is the name by which we know
the British flag, has been the subject
of much surmise, but you would
never guess it in thousand years,
In ancient times every English sol.
der in the field wore the protecting
.'jacque," or surtout lover alD which
was garment of padded leather in
terspersed with pieces of plate armor.
upon the breast the crimson cross of
St George. When the soldiers had
occasion to board ship. their jacques
were placed next to each other along
the bulwarks of the ship in the same
way that the Romans arranged their
shields on board their galleys The
jacques so afforded the men protec-
ton against the arrows of their ad-
versaries on the water, and by this
device up on their outer side pro-
claimed the nationality of the ship
Excepting the kings own ship, which
flew the royal arms on a Silken sail,
the jacques bore the only indication
of the nationality of vessel.
In the course of time, when the
jacques were no longer needed along
the DulNdTkS, ID SOlltdFy Jdcque was
displayed at the bowsprit, and so the
name Jack came into use for the
flag that superseded it.
In 1901 the three kingdoms of Eng
land. Ireland and Scotland were for
mally united and the British flag
made a combination of the cross of
St. George for England, of St An
drew for Scotland and ST. Patrick
for Ireland. 1t was this union which
made the British flag the Union
Jack"

and these are thrust with apparent
haphazard through the side or front
of the hat. Sometimes the metal orn-
ament takes the form of an entire
metal band that goes around the hat
and faStenS in front with a buckle.
Many of the new hat ornaments
follow the worthy example of the
animals of Noah's ark, they go two
by two-never walking sedately side
by side. but one always in pursuit
of the other. Thus there are two little
rhinestone birds, one flying after the
the two ends of a pin
ornament thrust through the side of
a hat. Although these little animal sets
OF rhinestone or precious stones, are
designed for hats, there is quite
fad among certain women for wear
ing them as double brooches-as it
were-at one side of the bodice.
Almost every sort of metal or stone
has been used in the making of hat
ornaments. The sketch shows how
two copper rings with silver balls
are used to fasten the black ribbon
band. Even wrought iron is used for
this purpose. a smart new hat of
beretta shape shows trimming of Il
rose with leaves of wrought iron.

fore she reached the ground she shot

as she hurried from one tree to. an
