Some of the Peculiar Properties of This Strange Force. Tho true nature or magnetism na bucu, of course. In not known. All that we can be sure or Is that mag' ne tic attraction docs not radiate out- ward In all directions as dws light, but simply acts along Mnes consisting of closed curves and co'!ed lines of force, these lines coMi-,"tlng the two poles and not extending very fur out ward uetwi-on them. These curved may bo found very nicely by placing n horsesboe mugnct under a thin sheet of paper and sprinkling Iron llllngs on top. Tho Mings will collect along the lines. Now. as to the different kinds of mnKiiels. there nro natural, artificial nnd electro magnets. The natural ones are found as magnetic ore In the earth, tho nrtlllclal ones are made by stroking h piece 01 iron or sieei wuu a mag' net, and the electro magnets nro caus cd by the action of an electric current, Some peculiar things have been no tlccd In regard to magnetism, among which arc the following facts: It has been observed thnt fire Irons that have rested In ono position dur ing tho summer months nro often high ly magnetized, no doubt having been caused by the magnetism of tho earth Itself by the process known aa Induc tion. Other Iron articles that stay In one position nnd do not come In con tact with fire or other heat are often found In the same condition, such as Iron bars to Jail windows nnd Iron railings In front of houses., The most peculiar observation mndo however, was thnt tho upper part of the steel tiro of a carriage wheel at tracts tho north pole of a magnet, while tho bottom part, or pnrt In con tact with the earth, attracts tho south pole. This Is In the northern hemi sphere only nnd Is fully in accord with tho theory of induced magnetism. Of cpurso in the southern hemisphere. whero tho enrth Is under the influence of tho south magnetic pole, the condi tions are reversed. A magnet dipped Into boiling water loses a great part of its magnetism, which is miraculously restored to It on becoming cool again. A sharp blow given to a mngnet will causo It to lose its magnetism. Also the application of heat will have o like effect. If a magnetic noodle bo plnccd over a rapidly revolving plate of copper, al though It bo separated from it by a thick plate of glass, tho needle will revolve in the same direction as tho plate. Exchange. AN IRISH .DUEL Rules Were Ignored and tho Meeting Had 0 Happy Ending. A duel with a happy ending seems an anomaly, yet one Is commemorated In Blackwood's Magazine In an nrtlcl on Irish "Are enters." The duel as ar ranged wns between John Egan, county Judge, nnd Roger Barett, mas ter of tho rolls. Both men were uu morous, and the meeting upon the fair ground of Donnybrook was character Istic. Upon the combatants taking their ground Barett. who was tho challen ger. promptly flrcd without waiting for the signal to be given and then walked coolly away, calling out: "Now. Egan. my honor is satlsucdl" Tho Judge, however, was by no means contented nnd shouted: "IIcllol Stop, Roger, till I take a shot at your honor!" Barett thereupou camo back and planting himself In his former station sold composedly! "All right, then. Fire away." Egan presented his pistol nnd. taking most deliberate aim. first at one part of the anutouiy of the umster of rolls and then at another, seemed deter mined to finish him outright. At last, however, ho cried out: "I won't honor youl I won't be both ercd shooting you! So now you may go your own way or come and shake hands with me, whichever way you like best." Barett cboso to shake hands, and amidst the plaudits of the crowd the antagonists" departed from the field In much good humor, the best of friends. THE "REGENT." What He Found.

Ono day the authorities of that city ordered that the street In front of the pro fessor's house should be paved. If yon don t ston that, noise," re marked the professor to the pavers, "I shall give up my position as a member of tho Heidelberg faculty. ' The pavers stopped work at once. Tho municipal authorities sent around to Inquire respectfully of the professor when they might pave tho street. "When 1 take my vacation." ho re plied. Then, nnd then only, was tho street paved. Influence of Sunshine. M. Poulllet, an altogether competent authority ou the subject, concluded from some experiments he made that tho cold of void external space must bo nt least 2r3 of Fahrenheit's scalo lower than the temperature of freez ing water that Is, further below freez ing water than boiling water Is above ll. Such would certainly be tho condi tion of things upon the surface of the earth In the entire absence of sun shine, and such the earth will eventu ally become, for It Is as certain as any thing In tho world that tho tlmo will come when the heat of. tho sun will censo.

A Scotch financier, John Law, then doing business In France, negotiated for a fee of $25,000 the sale of tho dla moud to the regent (afterward Louis XIV.) at $775,000.
