The Earth's Magnetism.

The great physical problem of terres-
trial magnetism has engaged the atten-
ton of numerous physicists lately, and
it is well known that several ingenious
solutions of it have been prapounded.
Professors Ayrton and Perry, for exam
pie, conceived the happy thought that
the earth was charged with static cleo
tricity, which being carried around on
the surfacejby the diurnal rotation, act
ed like a circulating current and magne
tized the core. A severe blow was
dealt to this hypothesis, however by the
mathematical criticism Of Professor
Rowland, who pointed out that the sur
face charge required was competent to
send spark from the earth to the moon.
A theory based upon the existence of
elactric currents flowing in the atmo-
sphere around the earth was promulgat-
ed later; and now, says Engineering, we
have another supposition, which has a
better claim to serious attention than
any of the rest, because it is supported
by direc, experiment, Starting from
the idea Of M. Edlund, that an electric
current is really an ether current flow
ing in the circuit, and that electrostatic
effects are due to rarefactons and con-
densation CT the ether, M. Selm Lem
sLrom considered that he might produce
this ether current by mechanical action.
He therefore made paper tube having
two concentric walls and mounted on an
axle. A core Of soft iron was placed
within the tube, and on rotating the lat
ter the core was found to be magnetic,
as demonstrated by two fine astat;c
needles. Reversing the rotation re-
versed the magnetic poles; and M. Lem
stron conoluIes that the relative mo-
ton OF the ether in the revolving tube
and the stationary core was the cause Of
the polarity. 1t follows that if the
tube be stationary and the core re-
volved similar effect viii be produced;
ana hence if u magnetic body like the
earth be rapidly rotated around the axis
in an insulating medium like the air, it
will exhibit magnetism. Pursuing this
idea into mathematics, M. Lemstrom ar
r1ves at an expression for the magnetic
moment Of the earth, which agrees very
well with the formula of Gauss. ,

How His Brother Went Down.

A little old man known around the
foot of Woodward avenue ~as "John
was Yesterday hunted out in the office
where no works, by stranger, who said
he came from 0swego and had bad news
to communicate. The news was moth.
ing less than the death of Johns brother
by drowning, and the stranger happened
to be on hand to witness. Old John
stood fov few minutes as If irving to
realize the full extent Of the calamity,
and then remarked:
"Poor George, hadn't heard from
him in ten years. You say be fell off
