NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
gentle hollow on tue sheltered "side.
Three families live here those of the
head keeper and his two assistants.
In all the inhabitants number a dozen
souls.
The light itself is said to be the old
est in America, built in 1713 by the
government of England. It Is of
rough bowlder stone, hooped with
iron bands, and its loan, whitewashed
form is a landmark and seamark far
and wide.
A rustic iron railway for carrying
coal leads up from the waterside to
the engine house, where is an engine
and boilers in which steam is kept up
continually to operate the siren fog
horns. Their great trunipet-like forms
protrude through the wall of the build
ing on the seaward side. In foggy
weather one can hear from the open
windows the faro2C mooing of the fog
horn on the Boston lightship, seven
miles away, as the keepers on the
lightship can hear this one at Boston
light.
An old cannon lies on the ground
near the lighthouse. It was provided
by the Cunard Steamship company be
fore the foghorn was installed to give
signals. It is unused now. But in
addition to the great revolving light
in the tower tliere is a set of red and
white range lights that give the loca
tion of anchorage for vessels in the
channel. If they see red it means
that they are out of their proper loca
Uju, but if white they are safe. New

It Is
Not a Stationary Point, but Is
Constantly Shifting.
Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic pole
are two entirely different things. As a
matter of fact, there are few localities
on the earth's surface where the com
pass points due north. The reason is
because the north magnetic pole or
area lies In the vicinity of King "Wil
liam's Land, just off the arctic coast
of North America, in Bothnia. When
this magnetic pole is between us and
the north pole the compass points due
north. As we go either east or west
from this line it is easy to see that
the compass is off to a certain degree.
If we were to travel north of the mag
netic pole the needle would point
south; west of it the needle would
point east. Sir James Koss in 1S31
located the north magnetic pole ap
proximately at a point up in Bothnia.
In 1903 Captain Uoald Amundsen in
the ship Gjoa set out on a three years
expedition, relocated the magnetic
pole and made the "northwest pas
sage for which mariners have striven
since the days of Henry Hudson. Ter
restrial magnetic force is different jn
every part of the earth's surface and
is not always the same at a given
point. It is subject to regular daily
and yearly changes. Amundsen post
ed himself near the seat of the mag
netic power and for nineteen months,
day and night, with his party, took
readings of their instruments, both in
clination and declination. He also
made short excursions into the region
of the magnetic pole and was able by
the aid of the declination observations
to prove that the magnetic north pole
does not have a stationary situation,
but Is continually moving. But the
general location is where Sir James
Ross first had the honor to place it.

This golf seems to be a very danger

pened to a man named Taylor? He
went into bunker and was in two
when he came out.
Second Lady How dreadful
"Yes, here are the words: Taylor
getting ont in two. Braid secured a
half."
"Does it say what happened to the
other half?"
"Xo. but there was worse to follow.
According to the report, Taylor then
fell altogether to pieces." Word of
