The most natural guide in the day time to the cardinal points which would suggest itself to the mind of the average individual would be the sun. So long ag the sun shines, he would reason, the wayfaring man, thaugh a fool, need not err in the direction he desires to _-- in whatever situation he may be It is a well known physical fact, of course, that the sun is contitually on the move.

The same remark is true of the average person traveling on the prairie or the desert, SUNFLOWER AND MARIGOLD. Several species of flowers may be said fo be gurtes, in a general way, to the points of the _ That isto sy, thy afford" a hint as ate the direction which the sun is"tn '| that orb may be hidden from view by any ob- ject. Among these are the sunflower and the marigokl These fl keep their faces toward the sun when it is visible, turn- ing toward it when it rises, and following its movements as it sweeps @cross the horizon until it disappears below the western horizon. If the direction in which these flowers' faces point ve followed by the eye the sun will often be seen if the time be duting the day- light hours To be sure, that luminary, when it is in the immediate vicinity, usually makes its presence manifest without the aid of the sunflower, the marigold, or any other member of the vegetable or animal kingdom. There are occasions, however, when a knowl- edge of these qualities of the plants named may possibly be useful in giving a hint as to the direction the sun is fu from the observer. peinesnaidieres «: . 15. wes barpeaer anon a INSTRUMENTAL SELECTION. ?73t Essex Fusileers' Band-of Windsor.

There is a certain flower, however, which is a positive guide to the pints. This is the aguoaee plant, Most persons who have traveled f any considerable distance in Illinots, Mi soart, Iowa or Kansas, have noticed a plant producing several stems from a single root, the two or three central stems ranging from four to sixteet in bearing upon their upper extremity bright yellow flowers. The upper leaves of this plant are erect, and usu- ally stand with their edges pointing north This peculigrity gives it the nase of polar plant, pilot weed, or compass plant. Locally, however, it is given the less poetical designation of "rosin weed," on account of the juice which exudes from it. cal name is silphium laciniatum. most numerous j mentioned, the compass it is seen-as far east as Ohio and Michigan, and as far west as the states bor- dering on the Pacific ocean. Wherever found it may be relied on as a trustworthy guide in locating the points of the compass, TREES AND ROCKS AS GUIDES. Trees and rocks are also useful in indica- ting the cardinal points, Lichens and mosses, when found on trees or rocks, are densest on the north side. When tree or rock stand so that the sun strikes them during a larger part south growths to cling to the south side increases in th the proportion with which the sun is obstructed from shining on Trees or rocks in a dense forest may have moss on all sides of them, but even there. the thickest growth is on the north side. Of course the amie! cause of this peculiarity is that the sun rarely strikes the north side of any large object, and then only When a tree stands in a position in which the sunlight can reach it through. most of the day-the limbs.on one. side of it will usually be much heavier than those on the other. The side upon which the heavy growth is on is the south side. A rock in a similar position will be darker on ohe side than the other. The dark side is on the south. In connection with the rock it should be understood that it is the rock itseff and not any of the growths upon it, which is considered' here mosses which, as before stated, are thickest on the north side, may be, when viewed at a distance, as < or darker than the bare | face af the Soatir site Witt be--Bat-thestone-} on the north side will be comparatively light colored. The branches on the south side of a tree are heaviest and the south side of a rock is darkest for the same reason that moss is absent on the same side of both. The sun shines on that side longer than any other. This is true of the region north of the equa- tor all over the globe, but especially in the north temperate zone.
