In not allowlne and BOAT LAUHCHED With the Carnegie Scientific Men Hope to Correct Magnetic Charts. (United PreH Leased Wire.) New York, Juna It. Without an ounce of Iron or steel in hr con struction excepting In her auxiliary tn gines, the queerest sailing vess'l of modern years was launched at a Brook lyn building yard today and now J i s in the Tebo yacht basin, waiting for thr? stepping of her masts and the complp- lion of her equipment. The old ves sel is the non-magnetic yacht Carnegie and she is built especially for a mag netic survey of the earth which will mean continuous cruising for the next lo years. The Carnegie, as she lies waiting for her equipment, looks about as big as a lifeboat on one of the great ocean liners. When her masts and spars are in place she will have a length over all of 201 feet. The Carnegie Is built throughout of the staunchesu and firmest timber ob tainable. All of her woodwork con forms to tho requirements of the Amer ican Bureau of Shipping. The Carnegie's work Is to be the cor rection of certain errors which ar-) known to exist Jn the charts which show the variation of the compass. Theso charts were made from data obtained by vessels which had iron In their con struction and which were maametlo. The work will be dona under the di rection of Dr. L. Bauer, director of the department of terrestrial magnetism In the Carnegie institute at Washington. An observatory with revolving- rinmna Is a feature of the vessel. It Is hunt I on the main deck amidships and gives wif i rnni-i me appearance or a miniature monitor. OfJLMH RULES THE BUREAU?

Rossiter, chief clerk of the census bu reau, lias handed In his resignation to take effect when the successor to the former director of the census, 8. N. D. North,' takes effect. It Is denied that Rosslter's resignation Is due to a feeling of loyalty to his former chief, who was practically forced out. ' " The resignation of Chief Clerk Ros- slter greatly embarrasses the adminis tration in the taking of the census. Next to former Director North, Ros slter is the best posted man in the country on census matters. He has had 11 years experience In the office, and It was hoped that he would be a valuable aid to K. Dana Durand, who has been appointed to succeed Director North. With Rosslter gone, two Inexperienced men. Mr. Durand and Warren R. Choate, of the bureau of corporations, who Is slated to succeed Rosslter, will have to undertake the big Job without having had any previous experience. , The census taking should be tinder way within a very short time. Mean while the appointment of Durand In held up In the senate while Senator La Fol lette completes an investigation of the census office which he Is making. No concealment Is made of the fact that the situation is becoming serious.
