THE MAGNETIC COMPASS.
Flrat I'ned on European Venaela In
the Twelfth Century.
Some Asiun i-eji.lc. pt-rliups the Chi
nese, dlM-ovnreil ninny centuries ago
thnt a kind of Iron ore pn.ises u'il n ve;-y
ppcitlinr quality. We c-iiTl this ore uiasr
nptlc ore, ov, in more common lan
guage, loclestonc, and it U very widely
distributed, pwppciully in the older
crystalline rocks. It wns found thnt if
a bit of lodestone were placed in water
upon a piece of cork or straw braid It
would turn till the axis of the stone as
sumed a north nnd Routh positlou. A
phenomenon of magnetism had been
discovered by means of an ore that Is
peculiarly susceptible to magnetic in
fluence. It is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power of
the lodestone, but it is certuin that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. By that time the
true magnetic compass bad been evolv
ed, through the discovery that If an
Iron or steel needle were stroked on a
lodestone It would receive the attrac
tive and directive power of this ore.
With tbls appliance placed at the
service of navigation the vessels that
had hugged the coasts soon dared to
venture even out of sight of land. A
new impetus was gradually given to
cartography, for now ' the true direc
tions of the coast lines might be chart
ed with some approach to accttracy. It
was the happy fortune of Italian sail
ors to make the surprisingly excellent
surveys of the directions and lengths of
the Black sea and Mediterranean
coasts and along the Atlantic to British
waters that have come down to us iu
the so colled I'ortulan maps. Cyrus C.
Adams In Harper's.

The Dennison school Is one of the old
est Institutions of learning In the Beech-
woodn district and the coming reunion'

useful lives to the instructions received

cational factor of the renowned Beech-

Paint Which
Lasts
Painters, and all others
who understand paint,
know that white lead and
linseed oil make the best
paint. Good, lasting paint
cannot be had if either pig
ment or oil is adulterated.
Many of the so-called
white leads sold nowa
days have barytes, rock
dust, silica, gypsum, etc.,
in them, and little real
white lead.
Linseed oil is also fre
quently adulterated. Such
mixtures are dear at any
price.
