Magnetized Corset steeIs.

"Every day something new is found
about electricity and it's effects" said Mr..
Fay. do you know that nine-tenths OF
the umbrellas that men carry nowadays
are magnetized? Well, they are. and all
that is necessary TO prove this is to apply
the point of your knife, or, better still, a
small pen point, against the steel rib. The
attraction is very perceptible, and it is
caused by the carrying of the article inside
of the electric cars. The umbrella is rested
upon the floor near the motors, and the
proximity of the metal causes a certain
quantity of the fluid to find permanent
lodgment in the ribs.
Carrying out the idea it is very likely
that the corset steels of the ladies are sim
ilarly affected, and think what the conse-
quences would be if a young man with steel
cuff buttons should hug girl with mag
netized corset steels."
