NOVEMBER 14, I9OI. SUN’S AMPLITUDES. The following approximate amplitudes of the Sun’s ris- ing or setting will be given each week in this column: dur- ing the season of navigation. A second bearing may be taken by compass at sunset, by reversing the east bearing given for the nearest latitude, as the change in declination for a few hours makes but a slight difference in the true bearing of the sun’s setting. The bearing may be taken when'‘the sun’s center is on the horizon, rising or setting. The elements which may be obtained by taking these am- plitudes are the quantities known as local attraction, va~ riation and deviation, or the total difference between com- pass and true, or geographical bearings.

Should there be any deviation on the course the vessel is heading at the time of taking the bearing, the difference between the observed and the true amplitude after the variation is applied will be the amount of deviation on that course. If the correct magnetic bearing is to the right of the compass bearing, the devia- tion is easterly, if to the left, the deviation is: westerly. or io or “NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Uncuartrp SHOAL OFF Brack Rock, Entrance ‘0 Parry Sounp.—The neighborhood’ of Black rock, in the entrance to Parry Sound, Ontario, where the steamer Arthur Orr struck on the 3rd May last, as referred to in notices to mariners numbers 17 and 49:of 1901, has: been re-examined by Mr. W. J: Stewart, the officer in charge of the Canadian Hydrographic Survey, and a small pin- nacle rock with 16 feet water on it discovered. ‘The rock lies S 8 degrees 30 minutes W., 2.500 feet from Black rock beacon, and 450 feet. N. E. of Jones Island range. ‘The master’of the steamship Arthur Orr is satisfied that this is the rock on which he:struck. The black buoy, mentioned in notice to mariners num- ber 49 of 1901, has been moved to mark the newly discov- ered rock. Masters of vessels using this channel should keep the lights exactly in line, and reduce their speed between Red rock and Carling rock, Bar Point Cur—Gas Buoy.—With further reference to part 4 of notice to mariners No. 84 of Igor. a red gas buoy showing a fixed white light has been established by the Government of Canada at the south end of the dredged channel off Bar point, at the month of the Detroit river. The buoy is moored in 18 feet of water, about a quarter of a mile northerly of the Detroit river light-house. Information furnished by Capt. EF. Dunn, of D. G. S. Petrel: F. GourDEAU, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Departinent of Marine and Fisheries, Ottawa, Canada, 26th October, 1g9ot. All bearings, unless otherwise noted, are magnetic and are given from seaward, mues are nautical miles, heights are above high water, and all depths are at mean low water. Pilots. masters, or others interested are earnestly request- ed to send information of dangers, changes in aids to navi- gation, notice of new shoals or channels, errors in publi- cations, or any other facts affecting the navigation of Ca- nadian waters to the Chief Engineer, Department of Ma- rine and Fisheries, Ottawa, Canada. ————— a OS oe The Boston & Lockport Block Co., nall & Loud Block Co., 152.Commercial street, Boston, Mass., have published the late President McKinley’s last public address, delivered at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N.

Funch,'Edye & Co., New York, furnish the Ricorp with the following report of, Eastern freights : During the.ctrrent week there has been more activity in cotton chartering from Atlantic ports, but the rates ob- tained do not show any improvement ‘The charters re- ported below have absorbed part of the prompt tonnage pressing on this market, but we regret to say has not had the effect of assisting the freight situation. Grain shippers are still unable to work new business and the further recent advaitce in price has tended to defer any possible opportunity of a resumption in grain chartering. Busi- ness from the Gulf seems almost irapossible, and one steamer has agreed to shift from Galveston and accept a charter from an Atlantic cotton port. A few fixtures have -been effected for timber, but the rates accepted in this case are, if anvthing, on a lower basis. ‘Tonnage on time charter can still be secured at rates favoring charterers. As is apparent by,.our.subjoined list of charters, the mar- ket shows no ‘inerease in activity as far as sail tonnage is concerned, nor has anythin~ occurred calling for speci mention. ¢ DOO Ol OO MARINE ENGINEERS’ ASSOCIATION. I have been handed a copy of a circular sent out by Geo. Uhler, national president of the Marine Engineers’ Bene- ficial Association : OFFIck oF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT,.’ PHILADELPHIA, October 10, IgOT.' “DEAR Sir AND BrotHEeR:—It has been currently report- ed, and it is very generally believed, that the representa- tives of the larger transportation interests of the Great Lakes will present propositions’ and contracts for the ser- vices of their engineers. for the season of 1902, and make strenuous. efforts, supported by unusual and alluring if- ducements, to have these propositions considered favorably and the contracts signed witn a’view to the ultimate adop- tion by, all.the carriers of a, scale based upon a: few pre- mature contracts. “This scheme will in all probability be presented before the close’ of navigation, and-before the engineers have had an opportunity to -get -together and discuss the general features of the business of the coming season and deter- rane our action and schedule. “It is scarcely worth while for me to suggest what this nieans, and in order to maintain the strength and useful- ness of this organization and to uphold the fundamental principles of our order (which.have stood as the only pro- tection against the designing efforts of those who would unfairly and unjustly sacrifice our interests and our liveli- hood) I most earnestly, request yourself and your assist- ants to sign thesaccompanying blank and return it at once to the secretary. of your association so that we may have the assurance of your continued loyalty and support.” Nothing has yet-beenlearned of the whereabouts .of Capt. Taylor, who disappeared mysteriously from the schooner Schuette. The-owners have engaged Capt. Han- son to take Taylor’s place in command of the schooner. x oe a Oe we GE % MARVELOUS f i BAUSCH é LOMB-ZEISS ew: Binocular STEREO Gisssc. Used by the Armies and Navies of the World.
