Most men who own a watch think
they know all about it. They have
the number fixed in their memory
in case it is stolen. They could prob
ably pick it out from fifty others
with their eyes shut. Hut how mary
men know that their watch is a
compass and will tell north from
south as accurately as it will tell
the time of day? Stanley, the ex
plorer. did not know it until he had
crc|>ed his way through the dark con
tinent and met a Belgian sailor on
the coast. Every watch is a com
pass If you point the hour hand to
the sun the south is exactly half
way between the hour hand and the
figure XTI on the dial. Suppose, for
instance, it 1* 4 o'clock Point the
band indicating 4 to the sun and
? the n <m the watch is exactly

hand indicating $ to the sun and
the fijrore X on the dial is due

trade situation in a new Hjtht for
I\?rUand. In the pa*t the steamship
interest* have contended that thoT
could not operate on equal terms
from this port. Now a prominent
steamship man puts it up to the
business men whether they will fur
nteh the tonnage, and he agrees to
operate the line, without regard to
varying elements of cost which have
so often been advanced aca'nst this

No doubt i? felt by prominent ship
