POCKET COMPASSES. -'
B'honsands of Then, Sold Yearly' to
Montero and Others.
"Pocket compasses," said a dealer In
such things, "cost from 25 cents to $10
each, and they are made in various
sizes, from tiny compasses half an loch
or less lu diameter up to those of about.
the size of a,honting case watch.
"Many compasses are carried in melt
eled hunting cases. Some of the "tiny
open compasses are carried for a charm
on watch guards.
"In the cheaper pocket compasses the
needle turns on a brass bearing; in the
costlier compasses on a bearing of
agate. In either, of course, the needle
will point north, but the compass with
the agate bearing will wear much lora
ger.
"A good poeket compass will last 4,l
lifetime. A considerable part of the
cast of the more expensive pocket com-
passes may be due to the material used
in them and to elaborateness of finish.
"A ten dollar compass, for Instance,
might have a pearl face, and so on, but
a good compass, with an agate bear-
ing, as good a compass, In fact, as a
man needs, can be bought for $1.50.
"Every wise sportsman carries a
compass. and compasses are carried by
vateoas other people. There ere sold
of pocket compasses of one sort and
another thousands yearly."
