IssEcT MAGsETIsM-No branch of science has
of late wears afforded more remarkable develop
ments than Magnetism, whether in the mineral or
animal world The effects of the former branch
are constant and unerring, unlike the latter, but
resemble it in being entirely inexplicable The key
to the mystery has not yet been found There Is
however, another branch OF the science to which
we may apty apply the name of Insect Magnetism,
where this remark is inappropriate By lnsec t
Magnetism we mean that my sterious aversion
similar to the negative qualities Of the magnetic
powders and the whole insect and vermin race
This is quite as astonishing the Telegraph or the
Galvanic Ring; but fortunately, the secret OF its
composition has been discovered, and the means OF
sure determination to all vermin and insects aore-
said-the means vainly sought by the philosophers
of MANY centuries-are now in the possession OF
the human race The effect of this discovery can

but one of the many signs which betoken the "good
time coming" and their physical effect is typical
of the moral publication OF mankind. Ii cleanliness

while they are sudden death to vermin they 90 no
harm to all honest household animals, and are posi-

plicatior of powerful negative principle which
shocks the creatures out of being. However TINS
