Sir William Thompson, the eminent
Professor of Mathematics in the Uni
versity Of Glasgow, in his inaugura
address as President of the Midland
Institute at Birmingham, broached the
idea Of the existence Of magnetic
sense. This sense he called the seventh
sense, to distinguish it from our other
SIX senses-namely, those of sight, hear
ing, taste, smell, beat and force. He
said that, in speaking of possible
magnetic sense, he in no way supported
that wretched, groveling supe rstition
of animal magnetism, spiritualism,
mesmerism, or clairvoyance, of which
they had heard so much. There was
no seventh sense of mystic kind.
Clairvoyance and SO on was the resnlt
of bad observation chiefly, somewhat
mixed up with the effects of wilful
imposture, acting on an innocent and
trusting mind.
If there was not distinct magnetic
sense, it was very great wonder that
there was not. The study of magne-
tism was very recondite subject. One
very wonderful discovery that was
made in electric magnetism was made
by Faraday, and worked out very admi-
rably by Foucauld, an excellent French
expeIimenter, showing that piece of
copper, or a piece of silver, let fall be-
tween the poles of magnet, would fall
down slowly, as If through mud. Was
it conceivable that, if q piece of copper
could scarcely move through the air
between the poles of an electric magnet,
that human being or living creature,
In the same position, would experience
no effect Lord Lindsay got an enor-
nous magnet, so large that the head
of any person wishing to try the expert
ment could get well between the poles /;
and the result of the experiment was
marvellous, the marvel being that moth
ing was perceived.
Sir William Thompson. however, was
not willing to admit that the investiga-
tion was completed. He could not
think the quality of matter in the air,
which produced such aprodigious effect
on a piece of metal, could be absolutely
without any perceptible effect what
ever on living body. He thought the
experiment was worth repeating and
it was worth examining whether or not
an exceedingly powerful magnetic force
was without perceptibie effect on
living vegetable or animal body. His
own speculations had led him to con-
clude that there might be a seventh or
magnetic sense and that it was possi-
BILE an exceedingly powerful magnetic
effect might be produced on living
bodies that could not be explained by
heat, force. or any other sensation.

THE OLD CBURCHyARD.

Breathe soft and low, o whispering wind
Above the tangled grasses deep,
Where those who loved me long ago
Forgot the world and fell asleep.
No towering shaft or sculptured urn,
Or mausoleum's empty pride,
Tells to the curious passer by
Their virtues, or the time they died.
count the old familiar names,
O'erRrown with moss and lichen gray,
Where tangled brier and creeping vine
Across the crumbling tablets stray.
The summer sky is softly blue;
The birds still sing the sweet, old strain
But something from the summer time
Is gone, that will not come again.
So many voices have been hushed--
So many songs have ceased for aye
So many hands used to touch
Are folded over hearts of day.
The mossy world recedes from me-
l cease to hear its praise or blame;
The mossy marbles echo back
No hollow sound or empty fame.
[ only know that, calm and still,
They sleep beyond life's woe and wall,
Beyond the fleet Of sailing clouds,
Beyond the shadow of the vale;
only feel that, tired and v orn,
halt upon the highway bare,
And gaze with yearning eyes beyond
To fields that shine supremely fair.
