The LOadstOne.

The loadstone or magnet is kind of
iron ore which possesses the property
of attracting to itself metallic iron.
This property has been known to man
from the earliest times, and the 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 q per cent. of oxygen. 1t is
iron black in color, and has an average
specific gravity of about 3. The name
loadstone is properly applied only to
such specimens as manifest the charac-
teristic of polarity, that is, attraction
and repulsion in opposite parts. When
freely suspended these specimens will
turn so as to point north and south.
The common spelling of this word is
misleading, as it has no chronological
connection whatever with the word
load. 1t is derived from the same Sax
on word that gives us the verb to lead.
The north star was called the polar star
Originally written lode starr be ause it
was the leading or guiding star of the
heavens, all mariners being led by this
star in their voyages over the sea; and
the stone which pointed toward this
star was called the lodestone, now uni
versaIly spelled loadstone. Magnetic
iron occurs in primary crystalline rocks,
and most abundantly in metamorphic
rocks, in which it is found in vast beds.
1t abounds in Sweden, Norway, Russia,
and North America, in India and in
New Zealand, and other South Sea
islands. The degree of attraction in
native magnetic ore is but slight COM
pared to that which is developed in the
compound steel horseshoe magnet; or
by passing the galvanic current through
bars of soft ore or steel. But the ma
tive magnet will draw toward it, when
suspended, pieces of soft iron or steel
placed near; it if touched with steel
needles, or splints of soft iron, these
will adhere to it; if rolled in iron or
steel filings, these will cling in clus-
tiers to its two ends; and finally if one
pole of the magnet be touch, d to the
opposite pole of another, the two will
forcibly adhere, as though fastened to-
gether with nails or screws.-Toledo

The American Howl.

Our fellow-traveler were all of the
opulent class, going to amuse them
selves at seaside resorts, and we sat in
a drawing-room car. A young Lady,
perfect in dress and dainty of figure,
exactly one of the stylish creatures
pointed out by Americans with pride
upon Regent street and the Boulevard
des Italiens as one of their compatriots,
made a remark audible to all in her
neighborhood. She was perhaps a
graduate of Vassar, certainly of some
frst-class finishing school, who had
probably made the grand tour, for her
gibcier was embroidered "Nice," and
her novel was of Octave Feuillet. Il
just lay back and yelledl" remarked
this Daisy Miller.
Only that very morning we stood
upon the veranda of a mountain hotel.
wo elegant matrons chatted together.
Remarked one 1--we just left the child

Remarked Johannes Taurus: "Fhis

ladies and children. Can it be the war

daughter of the house remarked to me:

want, just yell for it ? Then there was
that pretty Philadelphia bride, who
told us how horribly embarrassed she
felt in going TO church to be married
two weeks before.

SOMEHOW OR OTHER WE GET ALONG.

And she faced him with a cheen IL laugh;

That the god rich wheat WIS only chaf.

He kissed his wife with tender pride;
He said: III do as you tell me, love;

She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with n low, sweet song
A song that followed me many year,

Some Things This Departing Body
 Have Completed During the Year
 The Coming West Public Park
 The Free Lfbrary-The Doodle En- quiry.
 During the past year the Court of Common Council has accomplished much that will serve to make it favorably remembered. Early in the year the free public library scheme began to be discussed, and after lengthy parleying with the Young Mems Institute which did not amount to much library appropriation was passed and the city will soon have 8 library of it's own. Some horse railroad legislation has been done and additional convenience secured for the citizens as a result of the double tracking of the Fair Haven and Westville road. One important measure which was passed was the order that the Board of Public Works cause survey for new public park to be located in the western part of the city, and the matter is now in the hands of the Board. The old State House question has bothered be thorn in the side of the incoming city government. Several new ordinances have been passed, notably the one in regard to itinerant merchants. Certain members of the city government were charged with cor rupt practices, but on full investigation being made no ground could be found for the charge. On the whole the Common Council have done well, and whatever they may have left undone that which they have accomplished has resulted in credit to them selves and benefit to the city.

Humane suggestfon.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In view of drowning accidents year after year on Lake Whitney, and the great num- Der of skaters on the beautiful tempting ex- panse of ice it affords in the winter se ason, 8 valuable wise suggestion was made yesterday by one of our older citizens to provide cheap, efficient and available means ''to rescue the perishing." It is to provide strong light ladders twelve to twenty feet in length, made of one or one and half inch scantling by three or four inches witdh edges smoothed, with rounds not too far apart; and to place them at intervals along the border of the lake within reach of the frozen ice surface. One of these so placed and used with ease would have saved the valuable life of Prof. Wm. D. Whitney's son few years ago, and of the lamented Brenner, of the Yale Theo- logical seminary last week, who psrished 80 fearfully in the midst of his helpless compan- ions. The "HRmane society," could hardly
 find more important and needed work. The ladders would cost but $1 each.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Oatman, widow of the late Mr. Burr Nash of this city, took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from St. Pauls church, Rev. Mir Lines officiating A number of prominent citizens, friends of the family, were among the friends in at tendance. Captain A. c. Nash of Cincin- natl, son of the deceased, and daughters of deceased were among the relatives present. The service was deeply impressive. So many years have rolled away since the deceased, who died at ninety three, was identified with the busy activities of life that but few remain who knew her. She leaves memory that will be prized and cherished by her children and her children's children. She was for many years a member of the church from whose portals all that was mortal of deceased was borne to the last resting place. The in terment was in Grove street cemetery.

RECLAIM THE MARSHES.

StratfOrd Men See a Chance to do Good
 and Make Money at the Same Time.
 The Stratford Land and Improvement company intend to petition the next legis- lature for 8 charter. The purpose of the company is to drain the large area of marshes which lie west of Stratford and extend to the Housatonic river. The land thus re- claimed will make the very best sort of farming land, which will produce good crops instead of mosquitoes and crabs, which is about all it is good for at present. There are several schemes for accomplishing this, but no'particular one has yet been settled on. Advantage can be taken of the natural conformation of the coast, which will lessen the cost somewhat Efforts to reclaim marsh lands are not always successful, but the pro- jectors of this enterprise see fair chance of success Some of those interested are: D. F. Hollister W. H. Bunnell, W. k. Hopson, Jacob Borstleman, William Lobdell, Isaac Haviland and pretty much all the residents in the lower part of Main street in Strat- ford.

The legislature this year will have to pro- vige for two years' expenditure in all the departments unless it is thought proper for the Governor to call a session in 1888, which seems hardly probable. The departments are authorized to make estimates for only one year, but these may serve with proper study of average expenditures for number of years past as foundation for the other provision.
