The compare la freaky enough anywhere, but It deem, to take a particular delight In refusing to point north for the subjects of the czar. French and Russian sclenUete have recently been Investigating this subject on the vast central plain between Moscow and Kharkov. The greatest aberrations were found In the province of Kursk, tbe capital town of which la some 800 mllee almost due aouth of Moscow. In the northern part of the province, near Tim, the needle deflects 20 degrees; further south. In the province of Starol Oskol, up to 30 degrees, while In the southeast of the province, about 150 mill south of Tim, the deflection Is over 98 degrees, the needle standing almast perpendicular and pointing rearer east and went than north and south.
