Byrd's new An- tarctic expedition. His projected flight over South ' Magnetic Pole may help solve seme mysteries about the un- seen but ever-active magnetic force | that constantly crackles and waver around the earth, as around norseshce magnet. The South Mag- netic Pole, about 1,200 miles from the ‘geographic South Pole, is one of the¢ two focal points of this| foree, the other being the North Magnetic Pole. 1 Effect ¢n Compass Scught | The magnetic force around the; earth is what makes possibie the use of ‘the miner's compass, for it points the needle toward | poles, but because the force is con- | |stantly varying for some reason not | fully explained the compass needle | never points with absolute accuracy | Allowances therefore have to bc‘ made for variations in the mag- netic force, and the better these are understood the more accuratcly’ Ipilots can steer their ships on ,m {or in air. ’ ‘This magnetic force also affe: wireless, telegraph and telephone jesmmunication, which are disturb- ed by “magnetic storms” that re- sult’ from disturbances of the force.
