A Hugs Magnet.

According to the recent Investigations
Of Professor Frank II. Bigelow, the vast
field of sunlight through which the earth
careers in its annual motion around the
center of the solar system is also a field
of magnetic force radiated from the sun,
and the effects arising from the motion
OF the earth through il suffice to account
not only for the variations of the mag.
netic needle, but also for the permanent
magnetic condition of the globe.
This diseoyery--for it seems most prob.
able that further Investigations will con.
firm it as genuine discoyery-is in ac-
cordance with the recent conclusions OF
Professor Hertz as to the intimate rela.
tons of light and electricity.
1t is very impressive picture which
science is thus beginning to present TO US
OF the solar system-the sun and its fam
lily of planets-acting as great magnetic
system. wherein the impulses arising at
the center are communicated outward an
every direction TO bodies hundreds Of
millions of miles away.
