THE OMAHA DAIIA" JJJ3JS : SUNDAY , OOTOU18H J , 185)9. ) < v. An Enormous Task In Which Many Govern ments Will Take Part. PLANS TO MAKE NAVIGATION SAFER MnKiirUc Mprlilon Affect tlic .ViM-dlc of Ciimiiniiiipii One TliiMiRMiiil Hditlotin Nrcmnr > - lit TlilH Coiintr- . To nnyono who has ever ecen a nurvcyor at work measuring n ten-acre field op a city Jot , the statement that the whole earth la < o be surveyed will bo atarlllns. Uut tlw Kovornmenta of the great nntlon , Including the United States , have undertaken this innmrnoUi tank. It Is to bo hoped -that It en a L6 completed la ten years , although this la by no means certain. . Of courno the Burvny will not mean any of the inlmito measurements necessary In * ho wo k which are ordinarily made by the common surveyor. But without the great work which la now under way those tnlnuio measurements would not bo very nccttralc ; and , furthermore , safe navigation at gea would bo out of the question. Kor the sur veyor and navigator nllko must depend upon the compass In order to get -their - directions , vithout which they cannot work at all , and the compass , contrary to the general Idisa , docs not always point true north. On any good navigator's chart of the At- iantlo ocean , for Instance , besides the cur rent routes and ocean Btemcr paths , etc. , 4hcro are whlto lines running almost like curling enakcs. The explanatory lettering unys that along tills line < the compass varia tion Is BO much , another that ono that much And along that ono , moro or leas , as the caeo may be. In other words , when a navigator In In that particular part of the world he may llguro that his compare varies the given amount from pointing true north. Thceo points of variation are known as imaguotlo meridians and they are constantly { although blowly ) changing. The geographical meridians are stationary end always run true to the two geograph ical poles , BO that everybody knows Just -where they are , but unless the magnetic anorldlans are precisely located the geographical graphical meridians are well nigh usclesn tor exact calculations. So great Is the effoot of the magnetic meridians upon the compass that n ship may appear to be going in ono direction , according to the gco- Kraphlcal meridians , -whereas It IB really turning In another. Navigators are obliged to tnako allowances for the changes In their calculations , for If they do not they would too In Imminent danger at all times of stecr- dng Into rocks and reefs , and there would Jxj no safety In a ship. Surveyors have also to depend upon the magnetic meridians for their lines , and as the meridians change surveyors' lines -would follow them and sur veys -would all become tangled If allowance 'was not made for the shlftlngs. A Vnnt UmlcrtiikliiK. To catch the elusive magnetic meridians nnd flx them so that surveyors and ) navi gators may know their preclsa location and , tr.ako their calculations accurately 13 the work upoawhich the officials and the Keodetlo and coast survey bavo cmibarked , In common , -with similar officials In almost every government of Importance In the world , and the entire earth will practically bo surveyed before It Is completed. The officials at Washington have been for Bovoral years preparing for this work. Un der the supervision of Charles A. Schott , aa- Blstant superintendent of the survey , the most dollcato Instruments .havo been made to register the lightest and' ' slightest mag netic impressions on land and eca , and these Instruments have been placed on board o every vessel of the coast survey and In nearly 200 observatories on land. The difference between the magnetic mer idians and the geographical meridians Is like that between the magnetic poles and the geographical poles. Only a magnetic needle can .follow their convolutions. A magnetic chart looks like a picture of snakes squirming over the globe , their heads con verging toward a common center , or the magnetic polo. The -magnetic poles are sup posed to bo four In number , two In the northern and two In the southern hemi spheres , nnd they slowly shift their posi tions around the geographical poles , the period of their changes being centuries. The otrccger magnetic polo In the northern Iiomlsphero is located In the vicinity of the mining region at the head of the great lakes and the weaker In Asia. To Illustrate the manner In which these poles shift their po- eltlons and thus change the location of the xcagnotlc meridians : In 1GG3 the magnetic role was to < tbo north and cast of Paris ; It moved westward until 1814 when It attained Its western maximum of 22 degrees 34 min utes. In 1S30 It was at 9C degrees 42 min utes west of Greenwich. In 1S95 It will pass rear the meridian west of Paris and then it will pass easterly until the year 2110 , when It will bo 90 degrees east of Parts. The eastern variation at Paris will decrease , becoming zero In 2267 , when the magnetic polo will return to the meridian of Paris. CiiliiiubuH Found ( lie Airoiilc Line. The line of no variation , technically Itnou-n as the agonic line , is the basis ot all .magnetic calculation and as it shifts from place to place allowance has to bo made for It In charts and by navigators and survey ors. This Is the line on which the needle romalne true to the magnetic pole. It was REAL , YOUTH. When you oee a man old enough to be n grandfather pick up a heavy trunk and in n r c h off with it on his shoulder you realize that n man , may he young at almost any ngc it his blood contains the elements that youth is made of. That is the sort of youth that Dr. Piercers Golden Medical Discovery puts into a man's veins. It gives him digestive power ; it turns his food into good nourishing blood ; it enables the liver to keep that blood pure and free from bilious poisons. It fills him with muscular strength and viUlity. It makes him in the truest cense youug again , and keeps him so. "I am pretty nell now , for o mau of ilxty- three yeara.

The line now runs from Lansing , Mich. , through Columbus , O. , Charleston , W. Va. , through Virginia , the Carolines , near Char leston , down the Atlantic and through the llahnmas. Nn Ono KIIOUB Why Thcr Shift , Tim causes which operate and make the magnetic poles and meridians shift and os- clllato back and forth have long been ( sub jects ot speculation among flclentlstn. Lieu tenant Fred \V , Schulzo of the German navy , In 1579 , published a treatise In which he at- lempted to explain the phenomena , Llutcn- ant Schulzo argued that the earth's crust Is about twenty-five miles thick , that be yond that limit the Interior of the earth IK a raging BOB of fire and molten matter In the center ot which Is a solid nucleus of mag netic matter which revolves around In the sea of ( lame. In the same general way as the earth revolves In the air. He believed the magnetic nucleus to bo oval In shape , ItR then add stations In the magnetically dls- ! turbcd area. " A central magnetic observatory has been established near Washington , another will bo located In the northwest , another In Alaska and one In Honolulu. Scientists In Toronto , Havana and Mexico will co-opcrato with the Washington officials and Prof. Wil liam Bullock Clark , state geologist ot Mary land , will assist. U Is believed scientists throughout the United States will take a lively Interest In the survey and do all In their power to advance It. It Is a singular fact that of all the civil. Izcd nations the United States Is most backward - ward In Its magnetic observations. Altncst all European governments have established magnetic observatories. France hoe four and Is building four moro and Japan has six. nut our government has at last be come aroused to the Importance of having such permanent stations , and It Is now pro posed to establish ono In connection with the Lick observatory In California. l.MIIA.VS MIMIC W.VU. SPPIICH nt ( lie liullmi Con- After nearly all the Indians had come , a writer In Self-Culture , they enter tained the white men with a series of sham Indian battlea between the Sioux nnd their allies on the ono side , and the Dlackfeet and their allies on the other. The ficheme of the battle was this : A Sioux chief , euppceed to have been hunting In thu Illackfcet's territory , was captured and was to be burned at the stake.

The magnetic In fluence of the sun and moon penetrating the earth's surface and the molten sea reaches the magnetic nucleus whoso movements the ? control. But the revolutions of the nu cleus do not exactly correspond to those of the earth , ho thought. They follow the di rection of the sun and moon from east to west. This counter movement accounts for the differ cm co between the geographical anu magnetic poles of the eartb. The molden sea within the earth , Lieu tenant Schultzo beltovcd , has Its tides the i same as the oceans on the surface and as { ' they rlso and-fall they aot upon the earth in a contrary direction , thus retarding the crust on its eastward sweep. The crust makes one revolution more than the molten sea and thus another influence appears to disturb the magnetic equilibrium. Tne magnetic fluc tuations are greater In summer than in winter. But onany scientists disagree with Schultzo and so no ono Is entirely certain ot the phenomenon's cause. AVlint the Chart Mcnna. It 4s this secular variation of the needle which makes it necessary to reconstruct leogonlo charts and change the compasses and magnetic bearings on the charts. An j error In calculation by a navigator baaed I upon magnetic lines that have -shifted may ' cosily causa a wreck and for this reason the geodetic and < co&st survey Issue new charts at regular and frequent periods nnd every captain Is provided with ithem. To property holders the shifting of the magnetic meridians may mean much. At the present time most surveyors base their i calculations upon the geographical morid- j Ions , but in farmer itlnica the lines were I based upon the magnetic meridians. From | this arise many discrepancies and n surveyor when making a survey of old property Is obliged to ascertain the old calculations In order that his survey may correspond to the former one , clso he may make an error that will result In Injustice and perhaps long and ccetly litigation. Disputes of this character continually nrlso and the court ot last resort is always the geodetic- and coast survey , which Is usually able to settle the contro versy. Tbo desirability ot regular and systematic magnetic surveys waaurged early In the century by Humboldt , who said they should bo made every twenty-flvo yeare. The Men lit Clmrure , ' ' The present survey Is under tbo general direction of Professor Henry S. Prltohott , superintendent of the geodetic and coast survey , but It will bo actively directed by Assistant Superintendent Gharlro A. Bchott. Mr. Schott has been connected with the bureau slnco 1848 and Is the leading author ity In this country on all cmbjects connected with terrestrial magnetism , Ills series of essays and tables of secular variation issued annually In three reports of the geodetic and coast survey for a number of years past are the etnmlanl works of the kind. As be has given his life to the study of that branch ot science and has been mainly Instrumental In piireuadlng the government to undertake the work of rechartlug the magnetic merid ians it la certain to be done scientifically and thoroughly and It will bo Invaluable for all time to come. Closely aiisoclatod with Mr. Schott in this labor is Prof. L. A. Dauer , chief of the bureau of terrestrial magnetism. Prof. Bauer Is enthusiastic and eaya the amount of money that will bo eaved to landowners alone by the survey will greatly exceed Its cost , As a preliminary etep toward obtaining data on land for the survey 118 stations have been established In the cast , and other sta tions will bo added aa they are required. All observations will bo compared with similar obsorvatione to be made in foreign countrlee. ll. v l ( Will lie Dune. "The United States , " sayg Prof. Bauer , "In outlining the plans of the survey , covers as much ground as Europe , or one-fifteenth of the laud area of the globe 3,612,770 square miles. Great Britain had one eta- tlon to every 139 square miles ; Holland , one for every forty tquare miles ; If we decide on one for every 100 square miles It would require 50,000 stations for the United States. At the rate of tOO statlonu a year It will take < wventy-five years to complete the work. But ten years la desirably , By the end of the year 1910 we shall have cov ered 1,000 stations. Wo will first make a magnetic eurvey of the country with sta tions twenty-five or thirty miles apart , ana rolntorcpd , the Blackfeot return and drive away the Sioux with great slaughter. There was an exhibition of binding a cap- tlvo to the stake and making ready to roast him , the braves dancing meaivwhllo and brandishing their weapons. Then the Sioux came creeping up by ones and twos , gliding along the ground and taking advantage ot the slightest covor. The -war-bonnets ; the carbines raised to the shoulder ; the stealthy tread ; the rush ; the whoops ; and the din of the firing all seemed In deadly earnest. Now and then an Indian would keel over as if shot ; not to fall easily , as a white man might in like play , but heavily , as If the life bad gone out of him ; and perhaps some enemy would stoop over him and pretend to "lift bis hair. " Each man fought for him self and as the two foea came near to each other they motioned with their carbines after the manner of boxers sparring with the air as itwere till one or the other would fire and perhaps one drop. Backward and forward across the grounds the howling , shooting mob rushed and was driven some times so near the seats that children cried and women stopped their ears , while grains of powder or dirt struck the faces of th < spectators. When tha flght was over , the squaws came with clubs and apparently did for those whom the bullets had not quite finished. And then they all walked away to their lodges friend * and foes laughing together ; and the crowd swarmed over the ropes to pick up cartridge-shells aa relics. WINDOW I\ TUB TEXT. Ail Old Soldier' * Wny of Sreurliijr Ventilation When In the Field. "I never pull down the window from the top to let In a liltlo fresh air when I go to bed , " said the old soldier to a Now York Sun man , "without thinking of how wo used to open the window in the tents In the army In war times. An A tent , seven feet square at the base and running up , wedge-shaped , to a ridge polo seven feet above the ground , made comfortable enough quarters for four men It you could leave the tent open , which was equivalent to leaving oft the front of the house , but If it was cold or rainy , and the wind blew on the front of the tent so that you had to close It , why then you wanted ventilation somewhere , and you got It by making an opening In the back of the tent. "Thero was a seam , overlapping , running down the middle ot the back of the tent from the ridge pole to the ground , and wo used to cut the stitches along that pcann , up near the top of the tent , and spread the fllcjee apart by putting In a stick six or eight Inches long acrota the middle , making there a diamond-shaped opening , about a foot Ions , which served the purpose admirably , "Tho men's guns stood at that end of the tent .butts resting on a piece of cracker box , the barrels held In some sort ot a bolder se cured to the tent polo. If the wind changed on some rainy night and came around to blow against the back of the tent , the rain would come In on the guns and on us , nnd then somebody would get up and shut the window , that Is take the stick out and let the canvas come together again there , nnd then open the tent n 'Httlo at the other end , at the front. "This all used to seem kind o' strange , then somehow , though practically It was Just what I would have done In the old house at homo and Just what I'd do hero now. " AVcntlier Until.

"I5o sure to visit the dog cemetery , " called out a friend as our train moved off for London. "Where Is It ? " wo shouted. AH we heard of the answer was , "Hyde Park. " Ono pleasaut afternoon , therefore , wo started out nnd proceeded to stop an omnl- bufl. Here , selecting the original pent ot an Investigating committee , the ono next j the driver , xo tapped that fountain of i knowledge on the shoulder and asked : "Can you tell us where to find the dog cemetery ? " The Jaws of John dropped. Perhaps wo had aeked him the only question about Lon don that ho could not answer , and ho felt hla professional reputation to bo at stake. The route ended at llydo Park , opposite the Duke of Wellington's house atid near the statue presented to that hero by the women of England. Here , the driver , cheer fully swinging Into line for the return trip , affably accepted a sixpenny tip and bade us "Good afternoon. " Wo did not meet any ono crossing the park , and so plodded along under the hot sun , Ignoring all shady paths , as wo had somehow assumed the cemetery to bo In a spot barren and trcelers. At length the entire distance across the park was tra- vcri cd. Again our question , leveled at a bobby In front of the gates of Victoria. He simply raised his upper Ihnb of the law and pointed towards the park lodge that stands just Insldo the entrance. AVe passed through a gate , out behind the lodge , to find ourselves In the < log cemetery and no dog could ask for n better. It Is enclosed by beautiful shrubbery which quite conceals It from the passers-by , and there are more than two hundred head stones of uniform sire. They are of whlto marble , about fifteen Inches high , marking lots less than thrco feet long. Most of the graves had bright flowers blooming on them , many were Ivy-covered. A few were dec orated with small etonos regularly arranged and ono lot had on it a wax wreath In a glass case. Polntril KpHiiiiliH. A small number , a very small number , of cats have been admitted Into the dog's para dise.

A New York woman had her nweetheart arrested for theft nnd then married him. In spite of the strict rules of celibacy In the Amana colony two members fell in love and were married. The divorced wife of a Jersey City man Is naw a cook In the employ of luir ex- husband's second wife. The number of the clergymen who assist at a glrl'a wedding is not a certain measure of the dltllculty of getting her married off. While in biithlnff at Atlantic City a nmn proposed and was accepted , nnd a preacher being on the beach they were married In their bathing BUltn. For fifteen years Herman Heder of New York had courted Jennie Skaldowskl , The day was set , but one day before It she married his younger brother. Sixty-four couples took advantage of a Michigan fair association's offer and were married free of charge. Some of them will probably bo burled free at the public expense. A Napoleon ( O. ) couple were married n few days ago , after an engagement which extended unbroken over a period of elxty years. The man Is SO and the woman 73 years old.
