KNOW YOUR COMPASS
Anthropologists are wont to assert
that as men 'become more civitized al-
as
ras they 'advance in the acquisdtion of
'know'led'ge, 'their rudimentary senses
'become dulled attd in some instances
extinct. !It is a generally accepted con-
clusion that comparatively few "'civi-
lized" people possess +enven a rudi-
nnentarysense of :direction, because
most of them are 'hopelessly and often
ridiculously ",lost' as soon as they are

and guiding signs.
One Of the late I. R. Booth's most
trusted timber cruisers declared that
getting 'Yost is one -of the easiest

places expressed the 'belief .that one

The magnetized needle of a com-
pass or the series of needles which
actuate tlu compass card, possess a
magnetic property of orientation by
which it tends to turn approximately
north and south.
.How marilid• whom the polarity of a
magnet was discovered is not recur -
tied. One, iHaoing 'Hi, is reputed 4o
have given the Chinese the world"s
first compass. about 2,6110 B. C. It is
believed to have been a lodestone ar-
rangement which possessed a - facul-
ty for indicating the direction of the
south .pole.
The first explicit reference ,to polar-
ity dates about 125 B. C. when it ap-
pears to have been demonstrated
that striking sharp blows on the ends
of .pieces of .iron imparted to the
metal a peculiar tendency to "point
to the south.' Mention is made at
about the auto time of rubbing, iron
with lodestone to give it this "south
pointing" property,
The compass did not come into
general use 'until about the twelfth
century, anti then apparently by the
Arabs, Possibly the Chinese intro-
duced the instrument to the A.rahs
who, in turn, taught its use to the
Franks of the first crusade.
In its more perfected ,present-day
forte the compacts is the result of the
necessities of navigation, exploration
and eurveying which have increased
from century to century. 'The Mar-
iner's" compass is the most advanced
development of the instruntent. 'Com -
pease, made for the ttse exclusively
on hand are adopted variations of the
mariner's compass.
Briefly, the 'compass is an instru-
ment. by mean, of tvhcili the direc-
tive force of the earth's magnetism
Upon a sit nenled needle, is utilized
for purpose, o, ,letermining direc-
tion
T,he earth itself is a longe magnet.
and like all other magnets, it has two
poles, which are called the north and
south magnetic poles.
As the eort't end of a magnetic
or polarized needle points itt the di-
rection of the north magnetic guile,
it 1, oiri,ut, that the compass ,4.es
nn indfratt• true north- or south ex-
cept in a limited n.tmber of paces.
In all ,ether place; it is necessary to
make allowances- for its declination
east or- west of true north,
1n- the region of the west end of
Lake Stmerior the compass needle
points approximatelydim north; at
Victoria, B. C., it has a v'a•riation 'of
nearly 30 degrees east. and on the
northeast coast of •Labrador a similar
variation west.
The date of the introduction of the
compass card is not ,known. On the
earliest cards the eight .principle
points were named for the eight great
wind's, 'Tam•onto, Greco, 'Levant, Sir-
occo, Cato, Africa, IPonente and Mae-
stro, and each was .indicated ',by an
elaborated "rose" 'Rosa Veratrum).
The naming of the intenmediate sub-
divisions or "thumbs' avhieh ,make
up the 32 ;points of the compass card
is accredited to Flemish navigators.
'The Fleur de Lis, which is the un-
iversal
n-ivers fl indication of north on modern
compasses. is derived front an old-
time combination of a spear head
aiidthe letter "T" of Trautonto,
which was 'used to symbolize north
and which bore coresidetable resem-
blance to a 'Fleur de Lis.

"If you want to go some place in
the woods and intend or expect to
come back to where you started from
or even if you just intend to keep on
going, the 'first thing you do is to
pick out a landmark in the general
direction that you want to go. Then
you never ought to travel in the bush
without a compass. If you 'know
where you want 'to go and the direc-
tion that it is from Where you are,
and the .variation or declination for
that ,particular region, your compass
is your guide and friend. But it's
about as useless as a dolphin striker
on a collie's tail if you don't know
the direction you want to take.
"When you travel by compass be
sure and note your compass direction
and its bearing on your landmarks.
Lf you think you can't remember,
write it down; also make a note of
the opposite direction for that is

,Dowell 'Incorporated have recently
administered treatment to a number
of wells in Canadian ,fields. During
the past two summers a series of
treatments were given to the oil wells
in the old 'fields of Ithe Chatham
'Petrolia district, where :several thou-
sands of gallons of inhibited hydro-
chloric or muriatic acid were used.
As is usual when operating in Can-
ada, the acid ,was made in this coun-
try by ,Canadian Industries Limited.
Next year, Dowell .Incorporated in-
tends treating wells in the Dawn
and Turner Valley 'fields. in Turner
Valley, :Alberta, they recently ad-
ministered three treatments to - the
Imperial Oil 'Company's wells.
With continuance of Dowell In-
corporated's operations in Canada,
new ,field stations probably will be
needed. At the modern stations the
inhibited acid is stored in ten-thou-
sandegallon tanks. The safety' of the
acid as regards the metal parts of :the
well is evidenced by the fact that the
tanks are made of the same type .steel
as the well equipment, and normally
withstand the corrosive action of the
acid for a period of at least tiro years.
There is a considerable difference be-
tween poorly, and thoroughly inhib-
ited: acid with which the prospective
user of the chemical service should be
familiar, Poorly inhibited acid has
