MAGNETISM.
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.
"He went Into the country to fled

'Did he ilnd It?"
'No; quite the opposite. He sat

lie was ono of the greatest men In
the faculty at Heidelberg. 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. Exchange.

A Diamond That Restored the Fortune
of the House of Pitt.
Men have never collected great crys
tals for personal adornment, Even that
"fribble ill luce and spangles." the ri
val of Beau Brummel itud afterward
George IV. of Englund even besought
them simply for somo I'crdlta he was
pursuing.
Louis XIV., Ic grand monnrque. pur
chased twenty-five large diamonds.
'mostly for La Vnlllcre. Montespan,
Fontnnges, Mnlnteuon. Among them
was the wondrous "Pitt." A slave In
India found It. Hnvlug found It. his
heart shouted for liberty, Cutting the
calf of his leg lu order to hide the dia
mond within the silt, ho limped to the
const. To ah English ship captain be
offered it for passage to any country
where men wore free
The captain, quite casually and with
nice humor, took the gem nnd threw
the slave Into tho sen.
Tho guerdou of such Jesting relenso
from servitude was sold to a dealer for
$5,000 and through him renched Sir
Robert , Pitt. covernor of Fort St.
George, for JIOl'.OOO, who shipped It
homo to England to be faceted.
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.
It Is pleasant to remember that there
by the fortunes of the house of Pitt
were restored and that the seller's son.
William Pitt, and his grandson, the
Earl of Chatham, were assisted to high
place nnd service by opportunities
mode possible through the profit on the
diamond for "which a poor slave, seek
ing freedom, was throwu into the sea.
