CHINESE IVORY BALLS.

1t has long puzzled people how the curved
conoentric ivory balls, cut one within anoth'
or, are made by the Chinese. 1t has been
oonjectured that originally, they are balls
cut into halves, so strongly and nicely
gummed or cemented together that it is in-
possible to detect the junction. Attempts
have been made by some to dissolve the union
by soaking and boiling a concentric ball IN
oil, but to no purpose. The plain solution,
as given by the native artists themselves, is
this:-"A piece of ivory, made perfectly
round, has several %conical holes worked into
it, 30 thai their several apices meet at the
centre Of the gio5ular mass. The worKman
then commences tc detach the innermost
sphere of all, which is done by inserting a
tool into each hole, with q point bent aud
very %sharp-the instrument being so arrang-
ed as to cut away or scrape the ivory through
each hole at equi-distances from the surface,
The implement works away at the bottom OF
each c%onical hole successfully, until the in
cisions meet. In this way, the innermost
ball is separated, and to snootbe, carve and
ornament it, its various faces are, one after
the other, brought opposite one of the largest
holes The other balls, larger as they near
the outer surface, are each cut, wrought and
polished precisely in the same manner.

mp OF TILE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.

DlI OI lI1L
Il is known to those who have devoted at
tention to the dip Of the magnetic needle, IN
surveying or otherwise, that there Is a dur
nal variation or disturbance OF Its acton, as
was clearly set forth in the letter Whicn ap-
neared on this subject in our columns last
week. We find some very interesting infor-
nation on this point in a letter recently read
before the Royal Belgium Academy of Sci
ence. by the Secretary, NJ. Quetelet, and re-
ceived from him by the Swedish philosopher,
M. Hansteen.
The latter states in his letter that, from
observations made in four summer months
with a dipping needle and unfair and bitiar
horizontal needles, he has come to the con-
clusien that the diurnal variation, observable
in magnetic phenomena, is produced by q
feeble p%erturbative force which turns around
the horizon from east to west in twenty-iour
bours. "Wben this force proceeds to the
south, the horizontal intensity dlmlnlsnes'
the inclination augments, and the deeiination
has its mean value (about ten hours before
midday when it proceeds to the nortn' inc
horizontal intensity increases, the lnclination
diminishes, and the deolination assumes Its
mean value. which takes place about On hour
before sunset; when it proceeds towards the
west or the east, the respective declinatlon
augments or diminishes Zone hour after
midday, eight hours before midday, or mid
nightly
The regular declination or dip of the nee,
gle, which is now decreasing, will reach its
minimum, Hansteen thinks, in Western Eu'
rope in 1873, and it has already reached 1t
in Siberia. 1t was at its maximum in Eu'
rope in 1878, thus indicating q period of two
hundred years between the extremes in the
dip of the needle. The decrease hos pro
ceeded at the rate Of 2.316, or about two min
utes and a third por administering
