The MagnetiZatiOn of Glass.

An interesting paper in Poesendorf' S
Annalen, by Prof. Villari, treats of the
time that flint glass takes to be mag
netlzed, demagnetized, and to turn the
plane of polarization He rotated a
glass cylinder between the poles of an
electro magnet. where it acted like a
cylindrical lens with polarized light
passing through the poles. When not
magnetized, the cylinder, whether in
motion or at rest, was neutral to the
hight; but when magnetized its plane
rotatlngpower diminished considerably.
with increasing velocity of rotation );
the reason being that, In such quick
revolution, each diameter remained too
short time In the axial direction to ac-
qulre all the magnetism it would other
wise have. To give flint glass such
dls-magnetic intensity as became OBJ
servable by rotation of the plane, re-

A Curious Decision.

The following story comes from Ire
land: Two men had a quarrel in a
liquor shop. They adjourned outside
to settle the dispute. The first man,
being from Connaught, Immediately
seized lump of stone and let it fly at
the head of his opponent, who dipped
his head and missed the stone, which
went through an expensive plate glass
window, and did much damage. A
magistrate was called upon next morn
ing to determine which of the two
should pay the cost The evidence
clearly showed that the aim was a good
one, and that if the second man had
not dipped his head he would have
been struck. Therefore" said the
magistrate, " he must pay the damages,
as it is certain the first man didn't in
tend to lnJure the window, and the
window would not have been injured if
it had not been for the act of the sec
Ond man lodging"

The Condor,

we can tell you an anecdote about
the condor's power of life. A miner In
Chill, a very strong man, once saw a
condor enjoying his feast on the noun
talns. He had eaten so much that he
could not fly, and the man attacked
and tried to Kill him. The battle last
ed a long time, and the man was nearly
exhausted. But IN the end he thought
he was the victor, and left the condor
dead, as he imagined, on the field.
Some of the feathers he carried of in
triumph to show to his companions.
and told them he had never fought SO
fierce battle. The other miners went
to look at the condor, when, to their
surprise, he was standing erect, flap
ping his wings, in order to fly away
A bird with such powers of life con
tlnues to exist years and years. In
deed, the condor is said to live for q
century. The Indian tries to catch the
condor by stratagem. He employs
him to fight in ring, at those cruel
bull-fghts which are the favorite
amusements in that part of the world.
he does not attempt to attack the con-
dor openly, for he knows how strong
he is, and he wishes, besides, to take
HIM alive. He procures the skin of
COW, and hides himself beneath it.
Some pieces of flesh are left hanging
to the skin, and are sure to attract the
condor. He comes bouncing on the
prey, and while he is feeding with his
usual greediness the Indian contrives
to fasten his legs on the skin. When
this is done, he comes out of his CON
cealment, and the bird sees him for the
first time. He flaps his wings, and
would fly but that his feet are entan-
gled and more than this, number of
other Indians come running up and
throw their mantles over him. -,StOries
