I”•>>» rs are discussing the !«•;.. |
questions involved in journeying o»

Customs officials are exercised ov

How aeronauts are to determin
thtir location at tight, or in a fog,
another question which is reeivii
i-.tvjial attention.
There art only a few of t ie n.
important que t on which will i

lights, naturally, signals by boll o

of ,J,e* aeronaut which will enabl

measure of accuracy without the us<
of tcrestrial signals,
the instrument in question is tin
so-called duplex compass,” devis
ed by Dr. Bidlingnaier. of the In
l<-rial Observatory at VVilholmshavei
and used by him lately during e\
puorations <»f the German Antarctic
exp« dition.
One pronounced advantage of th
duplex eompass over the ordinar
com pass, for use in a balloon, is trn
fam that, it is totally unaffected by
th<- whirling motions common to a
balloon- driven before the wind, which
