Can you do It? If a needle Is drawn a few times over the ends of a horseshoo magnet, It be comes magnetized. Push such n mag netised ncedlo through a small cork. Place tuo cork In a bowl of water, tak ing pains to sco that tho cork when It floats on the water will carry tho nee dle In a horizontal position or "on an even keel." Another way Is to cut about thrco Inches from n hollow straw (such as Is used to suck lemonade) and to push tho ncedlo Inside the Btraw. The straw will float and carry tho nee dle. Now observo what happens. Tho floating needle will slowly swing round till,"' points north and south. Tho straw will behave In tho same way. Push It In any other direction, and tho moment It Is frco It swings back again. Wo do not know who first observed tho fact that a floating magnetized nce dlo will point to tho north. Nor do wo know precisely when or where some unknown Inventor used this Idea to make a compass. All we know Is that tho Chinese mado and used compasses moro than 2,000 years ago. When men began, perhaps 10,000 years ago. to sail upon tho water, thoy used marks upon tho shore to guide them on their way. Long years after they observed that a certain Btar kept at all times the same place in tho sky, and they used this pole stur aB n guide in steering their ships. Today n steam ship starting down the Hudson river for Europe Is guided by the pilot, and ho uses tho buoyB, beacons and other guide marks to steer the ship down tho bay. Off Sandy Hook bo gives up tho ship to tho captain, who Instructs tho helmsman to steer northeast by cast, cast by north or whatever course bo selects, and tho helmsman, watching tho compass, keeps the ship headed In that direction.
