Lirhtninc's Magnetic Effects.

The magnetic effects produced by
lightning are often very curious. A
chest containing a large assortment
of knives, forks and other cutlery
was, not many years ago, struck il
the house of Wakefield tradesman,
and magnetism impaired to the
whole of the articles. Arago, in his
Meteorological Essays" speaks OF a
shoemaker in Swabia whose tools
were thus treated, to his indescrib-
able annoyance. He had to be con-
stantly freeing his hammer, pinchers
and knives from his nails, needles
and avis, which were constantly get
ting caught by them as they lay to-
gether on the bench" The same
authority knew of a Genoese ship
which was wrecked near Algiers in
consequence of some FRANKS played
by lightning among the compasses,
the captain innocently supposing
that he was sailing toward the north
when as matter of fact he was
steering due south.

The grocer sends her the new brand OF

The way Mr.. Ford entered upon

The Power Of Crsvit.t,o,.

From common experience we are
apt to hold exaggerated notions Of
the power of gravity. Not until we
compare it with other attractive
forces, such as magnetism or cleo
tricity, do we appreciate how trivial
it really is.
The fundamental experiments in
electricity and magnetism, known to
men for moro than 1900 years, Of
lifting light bodies by rubbed amber
and iron filings by means of load
stone, demonstrate at once their in
comparably greater power.
II, for instance, the attracting
body had the moderate dimensions
of a hand specimen of amber or load
stone, we should require it to be Of
so dense material as to weigh
l,000, 000, 900 pounds instead of few
pounds, as usual, in. order that its
gravitational attraction should equal
that Of either Of the two forces men
toned. 1t is obvious therefore that
the imposing nature of the force of
gravity, as equally compared with
other attractive forces, is due not to
its superior qualitative magnitude,
but to the enormous masses of the
bodies which exercise it.
Thus, while it requires the use Of
the most delicate torsion balance to
demonstrate even the mutual attrac-
ton between small and large
sphere of lead, yet where enormous
masses, such as the earth, are con-
cerned, the attraction exerted by one
hemisphere upon the other probably
exceeds force of 500 pounds per
square inch over surface whose
radius is 1000 iles.-Electricity.

Characteristic Costumes disappearing.
Possibly so per cent. of the inter-
national costumes copied by Queen
Victoria when she dressed dolls
have passed away, never to return.
In some Of the Swiss cantons the
traditional Helvetian garb yet sur
wives; in others it is fast declining
to extinction. Picturesquely clad
men, women and children who pre-
tend to be artists models, but who
are in reality beggers, still haunt
the Via Condotti at Rome and ex-
tract coppers from the "forestieri. I"
The police have driven them from
the Piazza di Spagnia and the steps
of the Trinith de Monti; but ere
long in all likelihood they will
wholly vanish. A few vestiges of
romantic dress linger in the Italian
provinces; but on the whole the
peninsula is at present inhabited by
population, the males of which
wear store" clothes and wide awake
hats, while the women are clad in
Manchester cottons and cheap hats
copied from the latest Paris modes.
Characteristic costumes are on the
wane in Germany, in Norway and in
Spain. They hold their own to some
extent in Austria, in Bohemia and in
the Tyrol; but ON every side the ma
tional costume is coming down to a
dull, prosaic level, and in another de-
cade or SO it will be difficult to dis
criminate between different nations
in SO far as their garments are con-
cerned. Telegraph.

The Mother of Cities is in some re-
spects the newest of them all. One
half of Rome is as new as back
woods settlement, and strenuous Of
forts are being made to furnish up
the other half. But with the latest
innovation in Rome there is not
much need to quarrel. The city is
now lighted by electricity, generated
by the cascade of classic Tivoli. Such
things, in such connection, sound ap-
pallingly modern; but nothing of
that kind is too strange not to be
