THE OREGON -DAILY JOTJUNAIi, PORTLAND SATURDAY -UVESTJKOr-DECtJMBisIlvlS; 1003. I ham WAS Uultcd States have brought into prom inence among, technical expert some of the Inaccuracies which attend; upon the use f the magnetic needle of the ...compass. . Strictly fcpeajflng, the compass always has been a uncertain as a 60-cent alarm clock net (or o'clock sharp on a dark winter 'morning: , Columbus knew tils compass wasn't up to much Ions before he knew there was a place west of h.lro largo enough for the present Chicago to rest upoiu JIis compaBs needle was as flighty as an old maid of 60 years, who might consider that she still was of marriageable age. 1 With a company of mutinous (-allots, however, the old man kupi still about the Instrument and, lts transatlantic, antics. , , Today the compass as. an Instrument for certain direction Is obsolete. On the ordinary steel vessel of the times it is absolutely- worthless. On the old typt. of wooden ship and baric and. schooner erossing.the Atlantic the skipper has his troubles'and his trials in .attempting to Bull by Ita needle. . . It may be Information of a striking nature to the lay reader to know that In -tuts flrat' pluc.g the magnetic needle of tha compass never liked to point north anyhow:' In' the comparative latitude of Chicago its disposition is to turn downward, pointing to the floor about two feet In front of the person holding It and ' facing north:" To make, it get down to business it has .been necessary always to ; raise . its tip until it would swing4 evef the' dial of: the instrument as it rests level with the floor, ; Perhaps this -condition may have af fected the temper of the pointer. Cer tain it la that nowadays nobody but the city, man ill the woods who has a com pass strung- to his watch chain tries to arat nvvrhni', ivltt, 'If a an atkuftltita guide. Perhaps- the greatest trial of the compass on sea, for It was found want ing in greatest measure at tha end. Was on the occasion of the drifting of the ram when Frldtjof Nanens arctic ex pedition bobbed with the' Ice from Sep tember, 1893, to February, 1895. ! The general publio : Is familiar with the story of how many dogs the mem bers" of the expedition ate in that sea- - son of Icebound cold and helplessness, but as to the antics of the compass needle In those months of trial little has been suggested, A chart of its doings has" been issued in the most confounding and befuddling manner, so far as the i average reader is concerned In its whys and wherefores; but at a-glance he may see that the needle In those days pointed all the "way from west to east, accord ing to latitude and longitude, and that to. have followed its- variations would have been just half as bad as to have been lost In a forest and to have taken the complete circle on foot. , In Its use on the Atlantic the com pass needle gets more Inaccurate , on the . batiks of Newfoundland' than in almost any other stretch of water on the globe. This, possibly, Is -because H is worse needed there by the mariner than any- wliprn 1jka in Atluntfrt watArn. "Mniif frequently on, these banks of cold sea there is no sun and no star by which the navigator may go, and unless he has become acquainted with the frivolous iieus of- the needle under such surround ings and conditions his vessel Is likely to bump somewhere into the edge, of a a xovo&oaxrx.

Surveyors in the new west of the Uni ted States were kept awake nights not only by fear of the Indians, .but quite as much by anxieties over the question of whether their township and range lines, were going to come near enough together to cross at any kind of artgle. - in those days going west, it was dis covered, that the compass about o'clock ...every., afternoon would ' try to work around toward the camp they hud left-in the morning; it might persist In this for-two hours or so, when gradu ally it would get over its contrariness and swing around toward the place where it was' expected to point. - The result of these parly attempts at surveying by the compass may be seen to this day, where '.all the lines have been-retraced. By the compass how ever, the man used to ita tricks and var iations may take up the mark of one of these first' surveys in the desert country and find the place where the surveyors mado their noon camp, Perhaps the. lay reader will remark that this should be an easy task1 -that he need only follow his nose to the west. As a matter of fact, however, this noon camp was made always far out of line with the morfhjng camp that was broken and the night camp that ' next was pitched, ' fot this reason today r the compass, to the surveyor, has gone out of use. ' In the case of the United States government' work,' the necessity for this displacement of the com'pass has been to the government's cost, fn that one of the equipments of the survey today .Js In the form of a sun dial that costs about 1200. From this sun timepiece, corrected according to the necessities of correcting the sun dial, the lines of the government surveys are run with Ab solute accuracy east to west, but still with the jog that Is Inevitable In those lines that run toward the north pole. ' Speaking of the magnetic needle to day, the technical student is Jn doubt of just what tha adjective means. Electro-magnetism Is current . as a word In everyday use, but no electrician will say whether magnetism be electric ity or whether electricity be magnetism. As far as the magnetic battery is con cerned in some of the more or less pop ular forms of treatment of disease, one of the authorities on the subject In Chicago says that the man who keeps in his pockets an assortment of silv coins, mixed ' with a sprinkling of cop per cents, carries with him at all times a source of magnetism not at all to be deaplsed,, Placing the copper' upon the silver produces .. source of magnetic energy in a 'moment. Loadstone at one time was the great popular demonstrator of magnetism. It Is an iron ore which through long ages In the earth, subjected' to the Influences of the earth's electrical or magnetic cur rents, is supposed to have taken unto it self properties of the magnet As a possessor of this magnetic force, how ever, it has peculiar powers. While the loadstone Itself will attract a piece, of steel In only mild manner, to charge a piece of steel .by', rubbing It upon the substance is to give the magnetised steel 26 times the . attracting power shown In the loadstone itself, v As to why It does so well, the' scien tist would prefer to be asked something easy, : w''-- :.: '.,a: .' ...-,.'; of his claiming that ha had a perfect right to dance as much as he wished with Geraldlne because I was devoting myself to Harold!

Mate- can be prepared by making a stronger weak infusion of the leaves of the ilex after the customary fashion of making tea. In Argentina and Para guay it is the sole stay of the hard work ing man, who ' likes it so well he takes, no breakfast -until noon,, shupporting him self with a smalf draft now and then from his. mate bottle," He can work hard all day long on this one meal reinforced by the stimulating and refreshing power of the-infusion. -, ; ' Mate can be. drunk hot or cold, It can be taken with cream and sugar, like tea or Coffee,' and ft can be-used, "straight," which- seems by : far the best way of drinking it Flauv mate is quite bitter, and, like beer, it is an acquired taste. The first sip gives a distinctly bitter taste, and - the drinker sets- down fiin glass, with 'a wry -face. Presently, as soon as the bitter "effect wears off, the Imbiber has a pleasant recollection of the sensation. . By this time' the power ful stimulating, property of the drink has begun to work,' and the drinker feels like taking another sip. Mate makes the 'user of It, "feel good," makes him look with a brighter eye on the dark side of life, makes him .forget his troubles for the moment and, be.st of all, unlike beer,-It. makes htm feel like working or doing something with his brain or nts hands Instead of loafing or gossiping, "'Chemists who have carefully analysed mate say that it' is perfectly harmless. It' has' only the smallest percentage of catreinekand. volatile pus, ana it- never leaves a bad", after effects. Even when the drinker has . a disordered,, stomach or bad nerves the .consumption of -mate Is not followed by. unpleasant feelings. When the -mate habit 4s acquired the drinker - is' apt' to- indulge, himself freely, even when, there is no need! of stimula tion,': Like the'-alcohbl drinker, "he takes the beverage "for Its' effect." ' Some times he gets'tff b-a regular mate drunkard,.- but, wonderful to say, this beneficent drug has no sting, Hts only effect being: that Of making the "drunk ard" a busy)-' Industrious,, and hopeful man who gets mora out of his- life for himself and his fellows than the ordi nary man who depends bit his own body for stimulation,--- i , 1 In a word." mate cannot be :"abused" any more than water, and there are com paratively' few who- take It' in large luahtttles for the mere sake of the stim ulation. It can be drunk. In a weak in fusion, at meals, Just like beer, wine, tea or coffee, and the taste is sure to be everr morepleasant than that 'of any of these beverages.- It does not Interfere with digestion, and It is a "great boon to the ihlnker, engineer, 'writer, -poet scien tist, mathematatlclan,(or clergyman, who wants to go on, with his work instead of spoiling his thinking powers by eating a square meat.' As soon as the effect wears off ,the sensation of hunger re turns and ' the brain worker, his Im mediate task finished, can take his meal and let It digest In peace ' " t ' "The effects ot mate have' been tried with the most happy results, in London hospitals.!' . Physicians and, nurses who have used It say It! has solved the prob lem of how.,Kmake - ng continued watching 'and working easy , and light Nurses and physicians In these hospitals aver that a bottle of the '"straight" mate converts .' their -"monotonous,, although active," duties- into' .positive -pleasure.

Ab stinence from "mate for'' a-short' time Is followed by normal appetite for food and sleep, and the -worker can go- to bed looking forward to a brlghf and cheerful morrow, . ' ;' I ' i But perhaps the most saving, quality that mate has is its cheapness. The ilex grows In exuberant quantity- In South America, and1 many species of It grow in the United "States, but it remains to beeeen whether a good beverage can be got out-of the domestic plant. Its great cheapness makes it easily purchasable by the laboring man- and by the hordes of workers In great .cities who dally patronise saloons at the noonday hour. Bishop Fallows a few years ago In troduced into Chicago the British- sub stitute for beer, which' was sold in a , temperance saloon, in, Washington street but the experiment was a failure because the beer, while tasting like common beer, had no stimulating power and left the drinker 'of if quite as pessimistic as he whs before' he 'tossed off-his foaming glass. It Is' the stimulation the beer drinker is after and not , the taste. But mate has ; both' taste and stimulation, and when once, drank t sets up the habit and thus cuts the ground from under the feet of the beer or: whisky habit " It also reduces the desire for tea' and coffee, either, of - which, . according to medical men, is highly detrimental to . health, even more so - than temperate drinking of alcohol. . Mate also reduces the desire for tobacco 'because of Its highly stimulative action. Men use to bacco for its stimulating and not for Its narcotic effects. This Is particularly true of t brain workers. ; But while to bacco stimulates the .brain and the In tellect and makes them both quick and clear, mat; has also this effect with no reaction on the heart CXEAB DESK 5 -J.
