CuriOsities of Magnetism.

Most well-informed people are doubt
less aware that the globe on which they
live is great ball of magnetism, but
comparatively few have an adequate
idea of the influence this property is
continually eXerting on all Sides that
many common but ineXplicable phe-
nOmena can, be traced directly to this
source. Statistics 90 to show that in
the matter of steel rails as many as
thirteen will become crystalized and
break where they go to make up rail
road track running east and west be-
fore one of those on a north and south
track is similarly affected. This is en-
tirely due to the magnetism generated
by friction, and the fact that the po-
larity of the magnetic current is in the
former instance resisted in the head
long rush of the train. whereas in the
latter case it is undisturbed. Another
strange effect of this peculiar and &C.
cult force is that eXerted on the watches
of train-men. a time-piece carried by
the conductor running train twenty
miles an hour, however accurate it may
be, will, if the speed of the train is in
creased to say fifty miles, become use
less until regulated. The magnetism
generated by the flight of train may
be said to be in proportion to the speed
with which it is propelled, and the deli
cate parts of watch, numbering all
the way from four hundred to one thou
sand pieces, and peculiarly susceptible
to this influence, by reason of the ham,
mering and polishing they have re-
ceived, are not slow to feel the effect.

The Police in Carthagena.

The streets of Carthagena, as in
other Spanish-American cities, are
named after the saints, battle-felds and
famous generals; but the houses are
not numbered and it is difficult for a
stranger to find one that he happens to
want to visit. The police do duty only
at night. During the day the citizens
take care of themselves. Four police
men are stationed at the four corners
of plaza. Every fifteen minutes a
bell rings, which causes the guardians
of the city to blow their whistles and
change posts. BY this system it is i'm
possible for them to sleep on their
beats. They are armed with lassos,
and by the deXterous use of this for
midable weapon they pinion the prowl-
ing thief when he is trying to escape.
They also have short bayonet as an
additional weapon. - William Elroy
Curtis, IN american Magazine for May.

Taking Turns at the Wheel.

As a relief from this sort of puzzling
discussion, the listener will repeat a
story, told by Colonel Goldman at the
reunion of the Forty-lifth Regiment
last night, which none of the morning
papers have reported. The regiment
represented about hundred different
Massachusetts towns, and all the trades
and industries piled in the whole state
were represented in its ranks. 1t was
probably the most versatile regiment in
the army, for somebody could be found
in its ranks to do any expert service
that might be required in an emergency,
from editing and printing newspaper
to skilfully grinding pair of scissors
or happening a whale. When the
regiment was being transferred from
one point to another on the coast, on
board steamer, the captain, who was
a Yankee, came TO Colonel Goldman one
day and said: " Colonel, your men
are getting a leetle mite troublesome
amongst the boat hands. | wish you'd
keep 'em all aft" every well, cap
tain" said the colonel; you are in
command here and shall have it as you
wish.' The colonel was strict disci-
plinarian, and when he gave the order to
the men to keep aft they were all GER
tally supposed to be there. But not
long after the colonel, happening to
look into the pilot-house, where the
captain was, found the skipper hobnob-
bling comfortably with three or four
blue-coats of the Forty-fifth while
another of the colone's men was at the
wheel. "How is this, captain?" said
the colonel. You wanted my men
kept aft, and here you have several of
them with you in the pilot-house. How
do you expect me to maintain discipline
if this is done?" oh, that's all right,
colonel" said the captain, " these are
all friends of mine from the cape and
Nantucket. They know how to run a
boat just as well as | do, and I've given
every one on 'em a trick at the
wheel! "-BOStOn Transcript.

The Bridge of Years.

From manhood's isle of duty
To boyhoods land of beauty
A vast bridge stretches DER the river Time.
Yet weary, signing mortals
May enter not its portals,
And cross again to youths departed prime.
Above the vapory arches
A sprit.army marches
Events that filled the distant long ago
Lost chances, hopes and gadness,
Wrapt in a mist of sadness,
In spectral throngs are moving to and fro.
IT'S strewn with many token
OF ties forever broken;
Still dreams of love and friendship gone for aye
Assume their wonted splendor,
when longings sweet and tender,
Across the mystic structure fondly stray.
There, in the taroG spaces
Rise half-forgotten faces
And peer from out the dim aconian past
Sad voices too seem calling,
Their pantive echoes falling
Upon the soul with sorrows gloom o'ercast
OH faded Joys and pleasures,
LIES early golden treasures
Come back to me from childhood's sunny shore.
Return on wings of fleetness,
with all your old-time sweetness
And glad my spirit as in days of yore.
Alas! in visions only,
Mid hours of musings lonely,
Youths by-gone happiness to us appears;
In vain the hearts sad yearning,
Yet memory's beacon burning
Cleans brightly DER the mystic Bridge of Years.
IL Ambrose Doyie.

flying chariot" which he had pro-
vided with sails. 1t is the principle of
these land-sailing crafts which an En-
glishman has lately applied with great
success to a large tricycle.. Not long
ago this gentleman and his wife arrived
at the French city of Rouen on their
winged machine, which excited great
curiosity. On the front part of the
tricycle., which was an unusually long
one, there was sort of swinging easy
chair, made of willow-ware; and in
this chair, made very comfortable by
cushions, was the Englishman's wife.
Her husband was seated behind on an
ordinary tricycle. saddle, and was work.
ing the treadles swiftly and easily.
Above the two was spread large sail,
rugged TO a light but stout bamboo mast.
When the wind was in his back the
tricycler put up his mast and spread
his sail; when it was unfavorable he
took in the sail and housed" his mast,
placing it lengthwise along the machine.
The Englishman and his wife had trav-
eled that day from Honfleur to Rouen,
a distance of eighteen leagues. AS
they carried considerable baggage, the
feat would have been impossible with
out the assistance of the sail. The En-
glishman said that for a part of the
way, with a smooth road and a favor
able breeze, he did not have to work
the treadles at all and found it delight
full travelling. The wheelman believes
that sailing tricycles will come into
quite general use. He says he knows
no reason why the wind should not be
made to work on the land as well as on

China, which has got ahead of the
western world in good many other
things, preceded it in the use of a GER
tain invention, which, in rather i'm
practical way, is beginning TO be intro
duced into Europe. When the first
European travellers visited China they
found the natives in certain districts
using kind of wheelbarrow or hand
cart which was provided with large
sail. The sail was spread when the
wind was favorable and made the
journey of the human propeller much
easier and swifter that it would other
wise have been. These land vessels
have been in use in China from time
immemoral. The use of land sail
boats has also prevailed to small ex-
tent in Holland, where one of the
Princes of Orange once won fame for a
