A cheap black varnish for polished

be very good, is made with ten parts
of oil of tar and one part of sulphur.
This mixture, of adeep brown color,
is applied With fine hair brush, and
then let to dry at a gas flame until
the varnish becomes quite black.

The criticism by Professor Row,
land of the much discussed theory OF
TEL restrial magnetism lately Aadvan-
ced by Professors Ayrtona and Perry
has led to a modification Rof their
views. They admit that the Balti-
more professor had disclosed to them
an error in their calculations which
invalidated their general conclusions,
and they now concede that the charge
of statical electricity on the surface
of the earth, assumed by them as
competent to account for the earth e
magnetism, was not sufficient to. &C
count for the whole of that magnet
ism. But they still think that the
changes in the distribution of such a
charge, due to charges in the condi-
tioa of the dialectic medium between
the earth and the SUP, may be s
sufficient reason for the known mag.
netic perturbations. So
