The Carnegie Institute has built and fitted out the auxiliary
steamer _Carnegie_ to investigate the magnetic phenomena
of the earth. The ship was specially designed so as to contain
less than six hundred pounds of steel or iron, which would tend
to deflect her compasses and interfere with the accuracy of
her magnetic instruments. What is not built of wood is made of
Victor vanadium bronze.
It would aid men in the guidance of their lives if, in a similar way,
they could eliminate from the mind and character all those elements
that pervert the will and affections toward evil.
