Bai leva C.n Kwp th* Couruw Bvtlvr Th I* W«v Thai by a (uiapaM. In St. Nicholas there is an article on “Steering Without a Compass ’ by Gustave Kobbe. The author says: That tailors prefer not to steer by compass must Lave struck you as one curious fact. Here is another. A steersman can keep hie ship better on her course st night, if it be clear, than daring the day “Look ahead, get a star, and steady her heed by it.” So says the A. B. of the ocean to the sail or who has not yet won his degree. For to the helmemaa the stars are like the pillar of fire in A-nptnrs. They are the hands oa the dxsi of the night. They twinkle "good-evening” tc poor Jack aa he sit* up aloft or stands at the helm, and wink “good-morning” and “good-by” to him with daylight. It is obvious that the "to" or “off” movement of a vessel ean be more quickly detected by a email, bnght ob ject like a star dead Ahead than by the monotonous aweeft of the horizon, or by peering into the eompevs-box. The same ancient mannwr who told me about measuring the length of the off and in shore leg* bf the life of can dles, told me that oaje, when the oil in the binnacle-lamp* gave out and he was steering by a Star, he occasionally struck s match and looked at the com pass “to see if the star bed moved sny.” He was a genuine “sea-cook,” this ancient mariner, being steward of the vessel on which I was sailing; and he would bob up out of the cook's gal ley amidships like * seal bobbing up through a hole m the ice, and proceed to spin yarns When the lookout sings out, “Lend ho!” and has replied to the officer's “Where eway?”a star over the rock or other danger may be noted and brought down in line with the point on the compase, and its proper besring ob tained. “The stars,” said a sea-captain to me, “move apparently from east to west, so that when we find our first star will no longer do, we select an other. Thia is the ca*e with all but the north or pole star, which is in line with two certain stars in th* Great Bear or Dipper, aad the orbit is *o small that it is a good guide for all night; and we can evra detect an error of the oompaee by it” The north star la of eouree aa true as, or even truer the* the moet aeeu rata oompasa. To th- “other things'* that sailors steer by, the compass is, however, what steam is to electricity. To produce aa electric light you re quire a dynamo; to ~un the dynamo you nee<l »tw*m, ton may feel the wm4 oa your moist brow or hand; but the direutum from w>Urh it Mows you can—except w case of the regular trade winds, or unieas you are up in sea-lore—tell only from the com pas* Then by sailing does to the wind you can keep on that course without look ing at the compaea. But the sailors naturally have a large accumulation of weather lore; and ia addition m the "trade*” there are, except in case of violent storm*, oertals regularities m the wind* ia certain part* of the ooean, and certain other recurring signs, which the helmsman can utilise, end which often enable him to dis pense with the eompaas altogether. For instance, if m standing south to round the Hora, you see the “Magel lanic Clouds'* (bnght patches m the Milky Way| directly above the ship, change your course fer the Strait* of Magellan C*t«*w r r*we far r»w T**r«.
