HOW TO MAKE MAGNETS.
A Simple rrncem AVhlch Any Intelligent
Hoy Can Master.
Thero aro two general classes of
magnets electromagnets nnd perma
nent magnets. Tho oloctro-magnet i9
active only whon a current of elec
tricity is p.vdng around it; tho jper
manont magna!, t- its nnmo indicates,
retains its magnetism aftor tho mag
netizing agent is removed. Electro
magnets tiro always made of soft iron.tf
whilo permanent ones aro mado of
steel. An electro-magnet can bo easily
constructed ns follows:
Procure from a blacksmith or from
any source a small soft-iron horseshoe.
Commencing just above tho heelcork
on ono side, wind closely three or five
layers of two inches' length of No. 22
insulated copper wire. Without cut
ting tho wire, proceed spirally along
tho too of the shoo, and thon wind tho
same numbor of similar layers on tho
other end.
All tho windings must be In tho same
direction in reference to the iron. If
now tho ends of tho wire be connected
with nn electric battery, quito largo
pieces of soft iron for instance, largo
nails or spikes will bo hold up by the
heolcorks, which act ns polo pieces.
As 60on as tho battery is disconnect
ed tho spiko will fall. This, bowover,
would not bo tho enso if tho horseshoe
was made of steel, for it would then,
because of tho passage of tho electric
current, have become a permanent
mngnot. To puss an electric curront
around a piece of steel is, indeed, the
easiest way of making a porumnent
mngnot.
To try it, wind several layers of the
same wiro used on tho horseshoe
around a leud-poncil. Thon carefully
removo tho lead-pencil, and insert in
tho hollow coil left a common darning
needle, the bend of which has beon
broken otT, leaving about an inch of
length.
Puss tho current from tho battery
through tho coil for a minuto, discon
nect and remove tho needle, and it
will be found to bo magnetized. If it
bo drawn through iron filings or smnll
tacks, thoy will adhoro to It Boston

A New Use for Vaseline.
"Tho women havo a new use for
vaseline," obsorved a drug clerk as he
jerked his thumb over his right shoul
dor in tho direction of a well-drossod
lady who was leaving tho store aftor
having mado a purch.iso of tho petro
leum compound.
"What's that?"
"Thoy aro using it on their shoes
now."
"On their shoes?"
"Yes, and tho Indies must bo given
credit for having mado a valuablo dis
covery. Tho ingredients have a won
derful olTcct on lino leather, and it is
fast taking tho plnco of all tho com
pounds manufactured for softening the
shoes. Take a pair of shoes that have
becomo stiff and uncomfortable by con
stant wear in tho rain nnd apply a
coat of vnselino, rubbing it in well with
a cloth, and in a short time tho lenther
becomes as soft and pliable as when it
is taken from tho shelves of tho shoe
dealer. Yes, indeed, this rainy weathor
has caused quito a boom in tho vase
lino trade." Washington Post.
To Get Rid of Suckers.
J. W. Clark, of tho Missouri Agri
cultural Collogo, says: "Tho reason
why sprouts or suckers grow at tho
base of the trunks of apple trees is
that at tho base of tho treo, tho
collar, as it is callod, just boneath tho
surfaco of tho ground, adventitious
buds are formed from which tho suck
ers, or sprouts grow. If thoso aro out
close to tho ground, tho stubs loft be
neath tho surfaco will sond up sovoral
sprouts in place of tho ono cut away,
so that whoro tho suckors aro simply
romoved onco during tho season, in
stead of helping tho enso it is mado
worso. Cutting soveral times during
tho growing season will, if continued,
destroy them; a bottor way is to re
move the earth from the collar aud
roots near tho trunk, to n depth of six
or eight inches, and cut till shoots off
closo to tho trunk from which they
start, taking euro not to loavo a short
stub, or new shoots will start from it.
If tho shoots can bo pulled oil, the
work will prove fully as effective.
Roplaco tho earth about tho treo again
after tho suckors have all beon ro
moved." Is the Sun Inhabited?
Sir David Brow stor makes the fol
lowing romurks relative to tho sunt
So strong has been tho bollof that the
sun can not bo a habitable world, that
a scientific gontlomnn was pronounced
by his medical nttondnnt insimo be
cause ho had sent a paper to tho Hoyal
Socioty, in which he maintained that
tho light of tho sun proceeded from a
dense and unlvorsnl aura, which may
afford nmplo light to tho inhabitants
boneath, and yet be nt such a distanco
aloft as not to bo among thorn; that
thoro may bo watoranddry land there,
hills nnd dales, rain and fair weather,
and that as tho light and tho seasons
must bo oternnl, the sun may easily ba
conceived to be by far tho most blUa
ful habitation of tho whole system. In
less than ton years aftor this apparent
ly extravagant notion was considered
as a proof of insanity, it was main
tained by Sir William Herschol, as a
rational and probable opinion, which
might bo deduciblo from his own ob
servations on tho structure of tho sun.
