As to an evaluation of the

upon the vantage point from
which one looks at it. A
physicist would say that it
is spectacular but does not
compare In scientific merit
with Newton's solution Of the

Even as an engineering adj

what is transpiring in Camp

our prayers will be ascending
to the Throne of Grace on
his behalf that he may be
given that wisdom which
cometh down from above and

The burden of our prayers
will be that he may be guided

in his utterances he may be

We know that he will be

uously by q magnetometer
developed especially for the
purpose. The planes also win
carry instruments to meas

The magnetic records, It

a rough map Of the sea bot

Of undersea mountains. They

The job Of collecting geo.

charts traditionally has been
a function of the Navy. A
new edition Of the world
compass chart is published
every five years and is the
chief source Of information
for compiling navigational
charts for Navy, Air Force
and civilian shipping.
The airborne magnetome-
ter to be used in this prof.

oped and constructed by
Naval Ordnance Laboratory
under the joint sponsorship
Of the photographic Once

been attempted by others

Intricate Instruments
The instrument continue
ously measures and records
both the intensity and direc-

magnetometer and special
navigational devices one Of
the planes carries an "air-
borne ne utron monitor"
installed by the Bartol Re-
search Foundation Of Phila-

continuous measure of cos
mic ray intensity and has
made possible for the first
time in history simultaneous
recording Of this lombard

will result in important fu-

charts for the entire earth
will be published.
Observations will be made,
so far as possible, over both
polar regions and during the
course Of the survey at least
one trip around the globe

rately the earth's magnetic

Navy Makes Vast MAGNETIC Survey

The Navy Hydrographic

magnetic survey Of the
world ocean,"
This will be q monumental
job. requiring several years,
Of mapping variations in the
direction Of the compass
needle over major sea areas
Of the globe. It is expected to
prove Of great value not only
in improvements in naviga-
ton but in its effects in many
fields Of basic science.
Magnetism has been known
for more than $500 years.
For at least 900 gears the
magnetic compass has been
the major reliance both Of
mariners and Of engineers
and explorers on the CONT
nent. But the force" itself
remains q mystery. Its be-
havior becomes more and
more complex the more it is
observed with present-day
precision techniques.
Everywhere the compass
needle points roughly north
or south-that is, towards
one Of the two magnetic
poles. One is the Canadian
Arctic, the other in the
mountains Of wilkes Land on
the Antarctic Continent.
Various corrections, some
times quite complicated, must
be made to Ak true north
and south or the direction
towards the North or South
Pole.
Poles Not Fixed Points
Also, as either magnetic
pole is approached q needle
mounted on a universal axis
tends more and more to point
downward toward the center
of the earth. Directly over
one of the poles it should be
almost exactly vertical. But.
it has been known for the
past two decades, these poles
themselves are not fixed
points. They now are con-
sidered rather as areas. as
much as 100 miles in radius,
within which the center Of
attraction shifts quite un-
predictably. The fossil rec
ord is very puzzling indeed.
Magnetic particles contained
in soft sea bottom mud, in
which they were more or less
free to orient themselves, in
dicate, for example, that at
one time the north magnetic
pole was In about the present
location of South Africa.
What this means Is hard to
fathom. 1t may be that land
masses have drifted. This
seems the most logical ex-
PLANTATION.
The photographic Office,
of course, will not be con-
fronted with any such ex-
IRENE changes. Variations
Of q degree or two from
place to place are all that
can be expected. but these
may be Of extreme import
ance with present rapid
travel. The first survey hight

chances by reversing their call. For
some, the Edwards theory may at least
eliminate the suspicion that the mint
must be turning out coins with two
heads, or two tails, that the luncheon
companion uses when Tipping for the
check.

by adequate inspection and
ultimately enforcement. to
insure that those who hon.
estly disarm in accordance
with an agreement will not
be destroyed by those who do
not.
1t is on this matter that
the Russian position is weak,
though not impossible. The
Russians have agreed on the
necessity Of inspection. and
on most though not all the
details Of machinery to make
it work.
Therefore, there may be
real hope in pursuing every
disarmament proposal seri-
ously. Only by ultimate sue
cess in this line Of endeavor

But If negotiations fail for
another round, let not the
fault be ours. At least our
effort will put the blame for
