Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1890-04-10

At frequently recurring intervals the daily
press make announcements of the alleged
wonderful magnetic" qualities exhibited by
certain individuals who are able to make
various substances adhere to their hands
without exerting any muscular pressure upon
them. An investigation has been recently
made by DIR. w. Simon, of Baltimore, which
proves pretty conclusively tina: causes other
than magnetism must be assigned to the OBJ
served facts.
The subject examined was able to main
tain, by mere contact with the fingers, a
weight Of $500 grams, but it was shown that
this power was exercised only on very smooth
or highly polished substances, glass being the
most favorable in this respect. The cause as
signed by Dr. Simon to account for the oh.
served facts, and which is probably the cor
rect one, is the well known adhesion between
two bodies brought into such close contact as
to exclude the air between them, the pressure
of the atmosphere acting to maintain the
bodies in contact. 1t is, therefore, only a
question of the smoothness Of the skin which
would appear to be the qualification neces-
sary TO enable any one TO manifest mag
neticn properties. New Orleans PicaYune.

No topic is untouched in them, and it is a
common remark with my friends when my

word or joke no heightened accounts of scan
dial and murder, and they are liberal educa-
ton upon all the topics of this wonderful age
IN which we are Hving.-Cleveland Leader.
