The question has been often asked why we need a gyro-ompass when we have the magnetic needle and understand its use. j e The magnytic campass,and the gyrostatic, com- pass both point north and south, but beyond this they have nothing in common. They are absolute- ly. different instruments, governed by entirely different laws, although they are used for the same purpose. _A gyrostat consists of an accurately balanced spinning wheel; the earth as it rotates is con- stantly tilting the axis of this wheel in space. The wheel turns so as to set its axis as nearly parallel as possible to the axis ofthe earth. The wheel Stops tilting only when the two axes are patalJel, and this is when it points due north. The gyro-compass has nothing to do with mag- Be 3 ni tic force. It is of very little use on land; its Sréatest value is on board ship. ‘This instrument has been so perfected that it is practically insensible to the roll of the ship and responds only to the slow earth ag it rotates on its axis. , One such compass was in use on a fast destroy- day, simply, without sanctimony, without osten-| tation, but earnestly, sincerely and unafraid.) accuracy and guided the vessel ‘i % Lincoln, the statesman, is, immortal, but it is) reach of the si nel Auto harbor cutof Lincoln, the man—kindly, tender, zood, wise with | In a perfect whirlwind of movement the in-|2 broadness and charity and simplicity rarely, strument heeded only the slow, sure movement combined in the annals of human life—that) made by the eatth in its daily journey upon its! £"°Y® and ever grows in the admiration and af-/ axis. fection of mankind the world over.
