Variation. of the Marnet.

La Nature notes the following curious
and interesting phenomena: Two rail-
ways, one the Sceaux line and the other
the Cienture, pass within comparatively
short distance of the Montsouris observa-
tory, Paris, the former line being about
eighty meters distant and the latter but
some sixty meters. During the passage of
trains on the Cienture line, which is near
est to the observatory, the bifilsr magnet
is found to be disturbed, and its oscilla-
tions are registered geographically; in
deed, the movements are so regular that
the curve clearly indicates the exact tine
of each train passing the observatory.
This phenomenon Is due 70 the fact that
a. the line crosses the direction Of the
magnetic meridian the wheel tires Of the
carriages become mAgnetized b. induction,

Of magnetism, a deviation Of the bi6lAZ

Valuable Ancien. Manuscript.

The library of the Young Mems Chris
tian association of this city has received a
portion of valuable and highly interest
ing work-a Photographic fac-simile OF the
celebrated Vatican manuscript, B. The
part received is the New Testament, Of
which only 100 copie- are published.
The original manuscript, which is at the
Vatican library at Rome, measures 1OLI
inches IN height, 10 in breadth and in
thickness. The fac-simile pages conform
very closely to these measurements The
Photographic impressions are strong and
clear
The Vatican codex is one Of the most
celebrated manuscripts OF the Bible; 1t is
the pride of the Vatican. and is thought 20
be the oldest Vellum manuscript extant.
Its date is placed at about $50 A D., but
its history is not traced back with any GER
tainty beyond l44S, just few years before
the first printed Eibie issued from the
press of Gutenberg and Faust. Pope Mich
olas V, who was a patron Of letters and
the founder Of the Vatican library, may
have placed il in this library originally.
This codex is entered in the first catar
logue of the Vatican in l415
The manuscript has three columns 70 the

! Burman, but are recruited from the ranks
of the villagers
Dacoity is to many Burmansa spasmodic
form of mental alteration, a sort of sowing
of wild oats with which nine-tenths of
them appear to be seized at some period or
other of their lives, and it depends some
what on chance whether they end their
days as outlaws or return and settle down
as peaceful cultivators of the soil
In the Gor the Burmans) good old times
before the English occupation, every dis
trict had its gangs of dacoits, and it was
almost as necessary for a man 20 establish
his reputation as brave" by having par
ticipated in one or more noted dacoities as
it was for the red Indian to have a fair
show of scalps, or the head hunter of
heads, before he could hope to be received
as a suitor for the hand of the object of his
affections.
Among other contributory causes which
have helped to swell the ranks of the dacoits
may be noted the natural disinclination of
the people for regular work, or the desire
for revenge upon some individual family or
village, and among the younger men a
craving for life of freedom and independ-
ence. No doubt in the days before the "oc-
cupation," dacoit's life was infinitely
pleasanter than it is today.
He ran, indeed, the risk Of being cruci-
fed, in the case of capture, should any vii
lage offer an exceptionally stubborn re-
sistance, but the chance of such an event
was small Government officials could gen.

be regarded as one of the ways in which a
Burman might spend his early manhood.
The amassing of wealth by plunderwss his
ambition, but in the meantime the contri-
buttons which were easily extorted from
the neighboring villages afforded him a
means of livelihood

The Iowa Commissioners Begin Prosecution
of the Railroads,

DES MONIES, Ia, Sept. l0.-The Iowa
railroad commissioners are preparing for
another tussle with the railroads of the
state IN the courts. This is caused by a
Iirm determination on the part of the com
missioners to give the people of the state
9oint rates and the equally firm determi-
natiOn on the part of a number of the lead
ing railroads not to submit tofurther dicta-
tion at the hands OF the commissioners.
in response TO public demand the last
legislature passed a law establishing Joint
rates. The railroads resisted enforcement
of the law on the ground of unconstitu-
tionality. and Judge Farrell, of Iowa City,
has issued "A permanent Injunction re-
BtrainIng the commissioners from attempt
ing TO enforce it. Pending an appeal TO
the supreme court the commissioners de-
Jermined to reach the desired end by an
other means. Relying upon the
original railroad law of Iowa
which gives the commissioners
the power to make rates, they issued an
order August ], establishing what they
termed rates for n continuous haul over
two or more roads, The order was to 90
3nto effect August 10, but at that time
none Of the roads showed any disposition
90 adopt it. A week later the commission
