It was in the thirteenth century that Euro pean observers first detected the fact that the magnetic needle does not point due north. For a long time it was supposed that the , direction of the needle was the sawie for 11 places; but during the first voyage of Christopher Colum bus across the Atlantic it was found that this is not the case. He had traveled six hundred miles from the most westerly of the Canary Islands, when he noticed that the compass, whhh had been pointing towards the east of north when he Was in Europe, was now point ing due north. The actual day on which the discovery was made was September 13, 1492. As he sailed farther west he found that the westerly declination gradually increased. But we have at once to call attention to an other peculiarity of the magnetic compass, oth erwise the reader would form A. mistaken no tion of the present nature of the needle's decli . nation. We have spoken of the needle's point ing to the east of north in 1492. This is no longer a true description of ,the deellnation in . Europe. The needle now points far to the west of north. It is a peculiarity of the science of terrestrial ungnetism that variations are thus mixed up with variations, until it has be , come a matter of exceeding difficulty to present all the facts of the science In such a sequence that the student shall not be in,any, risk of being led astray ProperlY speaking, the change of the needle's declination from . time to time should be kept wholly separate from the changes which are noticed as , -the needle is changed from place to place. Yet, if this were done m describing the original discovery of the latter change, erroneous impressions would be given, reSpeeting the present state of the needle's declination in various countries. • At present the terrestial globe may be looked upon as divided into two vast but unequal por tions, which may tie called the region ;of westerly magnets and the : region of easterly magnets.. In the former must be included all Europe except the extreme northeasterly parts of Russia, the whole of Africa, • Turkey, Ara bia, the, greater part of the Indian . Ocean, and the western parts of Australia. Returning westward, we must add.to the' region of west; erly magnets the greater part of the Atlantic Ocean, the northeastern parts of Brazil; the eastern parts of . Canada, and the whole of Greenland. All the rest of the world belongs to the region of easterly niagiicts except oval space, which is situated in the very middle CALMDEZIT GOSSIP. Terrestrial Magnetism region,of the. ,yet has a con tary character. 'this 01 4 , , stee includes the eastern 'parts of China, liarichooria4 andihe islands of Japan. Such ikthe presont.arrang,eutent the.tWo divisions ; ,but, iifty,,years ago, the description Would haite' been Incorreet; and fifty years „hence it will again be so ; 'for over the whole world.the declination is steadily cbanging--: her 634 One direction,, there in , the contrary,; eidOltit itt some places, alraost .irapercelitit4y at 41.30, And we may mention in passing, that as a general rule, where the declina,tion is least either westwards or eastwards,,there it IS changing Most rapidly; and where It, is great est it iri , bardlibanAing at SIC But there aP pearto -be : sonici -- places where 1114* range of change isio small that, though the'dectination is never large, it does not, change ,rapidly—as 'in other placel'of small .As yet, hbwever, much remains to be learned respect ing the progress of these strange ;,ettanges in Countries where 'Magnetic ' Observations• have been only commenced in recent times.—Cham berS's J6111'4161: ' ' A Murderous New Flower.
