A STEERING STANDARD.

According to the "Chicago Tribune," Dr. H. Anschutz-Kampfe has invented a new form of steering standard, dependent for its operation on the principle of the gyroscope, which is driven electrically, "aud carries an indicating needle pivoted within an arc similar to that of the ordinary compass. It does net, of course, necessarily point north and south, but it tends continually to point in any direction : n which it may be set. and as it is wholly unaffected by magnetic influences it would prove valuable in warships, which contain such huge masses of iron and steel in guns and equipment. It Is not proposed to displace the mariner's compass, but to employ this instrument as an adjunct.
