The azimuths in the annexed table, applied properly to the magnetic bearing of Polaris at the time of its greatest elongation east or west, will give the true variation of the magnetic needle from a true north direction, and will be of great use to all isurveyors and engineers. When the elongation is east the azimuth will be east and 'vice versa. At the present time the line of "No Variation" of the needle runs southJeasterly from near Toledo, Ohio, to a point on the Atlantic coast about fifty miles southwest of Cape Fear, N. C. East of that line the north end of the needle points 'west of a true north, and west of that line east of the true north. The country may therefore be divided into eastern and western magnetic regions. In the “Eastern Region' the bearing of Pola ris at its western elongation, if eastward, added to the lazimuth, gives the desired variation west; but if westward, the bearing taken from the azimuth gives the variation west. The bearing of Polaris at its eastern elongaition will be eastward, and the azimuth subtracted therefrom gives the variation west. In the "Western Region" the bearing of Polaris at its eastern elongation, if westward, added to the azimuth, gives the variation east; but if eastward, the bearing taken from the azimuth gives the variation east. The bearing of Polaris at its westJern elongation will be woestward, and diminished by the azimuth gives the variation 'east. The azimuths in the table, given for two degree zones, are practically sufficient for all the United States except Alaska. For intermediate latitudes, Sud dates, the azimuths may be found by proportion sufficiently correct, or exactly by the formula, 'log-sine azimuth equal log-sine Polar Distance of Polaris, minus log-cosine latitude. The surveyor or engineer is on the line of "No Variation” when the bearing of Polaris at greatest elongation is the same as the azimuth. 35° 45° 1 57 39 31 10 591 341 10 Polar Azimuth of Polaris at its Greatest Elongation East or West.
