THE LOAO.STONE.
An Iron Ore Which Possesses the Prop
erty of Attracting Metallic Iron.

An Iron Ore Which Possesses the Prop
erty of Attracting Metallic Iron.
The load-stone or magnet is kind
of iron ore which possesses the proper
ty of attracting to itself metallic iron.
This property has been known to man
from the earliest times, and che name
magnet was given to the ore by the
Greeks, because it was found in Mag
nesia, in Asia Minor. This ore of iron
contains twenty-seven per cent. of OK
ygen. 1t is iron black in color, and
has an average specific gravity of about
five. The name load-stone is properly
applied only to such specimens as
manifest the characteristic of polarity
that is, attraction and repulsion in OPP
posite parts. When freely suspended
these specimens will turn so as to point
north and south. The common SPELL
ing of this word is misleading, as it has
no chronological connection whatever
with the W ord load. 1t is derived from
the same Saxon word that gives us the
verb to lead. The polar star was called
the polar star Originally written lode
starr because it was the lea ling or
guiding star of the heavens, all mari
ners being led by this star in their voy-
ages over the sea; and the stone which
pointed toward this star was called the
lode-stone, now universally spelled
lOad-stOne. Magnetic iron occurs in
primary crystalline rocks. and most
abundantly in metamorphic rocks, in
which it Ks found in vast beds. 1t
abounds in Sweden, Norway, Russia
and North America, but it is almost
wanting in England. 1t is also found
in the form of sand in North America,
in India and in New Zealand and other
South Sea Islands. The degree of at
traction in native magnetic ore is but
slight compared to that which is devel-
oped in the compound steel horse

vanic current through bars of soft ore

see those belonging to them suffer, be-
fore they will finch. And the board
sternly enforces this doctrine. 1t has
come to be known that no excuse for
an extinguished light will be accepted.
If a light goes out so does its keeper.
Some have alleged the sickness of wife
or child, the need to go for doctor or
nurse, as an excuse for failure in duty;
but the answer is always the same.
There Is no need that wife or child
should be present at lighthouse
Their presence is never required, and
their presence is permitted only on
condition that they are never to be a
hindrance. Keepers are held to a
high sense of the Importance of their
positions.
The doctor, who had begun to show
signs Of Impotence, now said: .'Yes,
that is fine idea; but, Commodore,
to return to the case of the poor fell
lows at Choptauk, l trust you will not
deem it necessary to accept the resigna-
tons they sent in while suffering I'M

sary to revert to that matter, sir. !"
broke in the Commodore, who
was now pacing the floor. and
had shipped his quarterback face.
Looking the doctor squarely in
the face and lowering his voice
to an intense tone, he continued:

keepers will not be accepted; but and

NEW CHEMISETTES.
Stylish Neck-Wear for the Last Weeks of
the Summer Season.

Stylish NeckyTear for the Last Weeks OF
the Summer Season.
New chemisettes are made wider,
and so long that they almost form
vests. A novelty pretty for summer is
The wide turned-over collar seen on
plated linen and percale vests. This
collar is in the Byron shape, and the
chcmisette has tucks or stripes made
to meet in points in the middle. These
are so long that they have tapes at the
end, and an under-handkerchief at the
back of the same length to meet belt
or wide tape around the waist.
Canvas and Grape chemisettes for
dressy wool gowns are made with the
new wide collar and deep cuffs that
turn up outside the sleeves. A row of
feather stitching is on the hem of the
collar and cuffs, and down each side of
the box plaits in tho middle of the
chemisette; narrow plaits are on each
side of this box plat. A pretty fash
ion is that of working button-hole
each side of the collar and tying a rib
bon bow in it, making long loops that
stand out each side. Two smaller
bows are passed through button-holes
in each cuff.
Aprons, over-skirts, chemisettes and
mantles have lengthwise tucks run in
them, through which ribbon is drawn
AID arranged in loops at the end.
Standing collars are made of folds
of silk muslin or of point d'esprit, and
have ribbon only a fourth of an inch
wide passed through them and tied in
tiny bows in front. Sometimes five of
these bows are in front of one collar.
The sleeves have two puffs of the ma
terial of the collar drawn up by pass
ing the ribbon through them and tying
bows on the inside seam. The collars
just described have guimpes attached,
and the pufs give the effect of under
sleeves.
White null and surah chemisettes
have a standing collar of folds that
fastens behind, and the front is pressed
IN lengthwise plaits turned toward the
middle from each side. Pique chemi-
settles for travelling dresses have cords
laced across the front between buttons.
Very fine French percale chemisettes
have the collar and tiny throat bow
ornamented with drawn-work, and
there are white linen sets similarly
made with pink, blue or black bor-
ders attached by herring-bone or lad.

The wide null scarfs or cravats with

ends are again worn with summer

Disgrace"
Disgrace, yes. but not half they de-
serve. Why, sir, you don't compre-
bend the enormity of their conduct,
taking their own statement of it. Why.

the two towards. Good morning, sir.
Here. doorkeeper, show the gentleman
out"
The Commodore was as good as his
word-yes. better. He took such ac-
tioa that the light was re-established at
Sharp's Island on much stronger
foundation, and the old keepers were
recalled from Choptauk and reinstated
in :heir former positions, while new
men were sent to the light they had
left And these admirable keepers
were reimbursed from the national
treasury for the loss of their personal
belongings by act of Congress; but
they only got what they claimed as the
real value of what was actually de-
stroyed. The lighthouse board had
put the whole machinery of legisIa-
ton into motion. not merely to reim-
burse them, but to emboav in the law
of the land commentator of their
splendid courage, their heroic daring
and great faithfulness, while the new
lighthouse erected on the site of the
old one stands monument to keep
them and the noble deed they did in
perpetual remembrance. - Chicago
