MAGNETISM IN VASES.
Instances Found In Some Ancien
Roman Pottery.


Roman Pottery.
A curious instance Of the stability of
magnetism has been found in some an
cient Roman pottery. Marked traces
of magnetization have been frequently
noticed in Etruscan vases. The obvious
assumption was that the magnetization
may have undergone some modification
during the many centuries that have
elapsed since the vases were baked.
DR.. Folgheraiter has settled this ques-
ton by his observations on some vases
which were pieced together from scat
tered fragments, taken from an exca-
vation at Arezzo. If the magnetization
of the baked clay had in any way al
tered since the vases were broken il is
clear that the different portions falling
and lying around indiscriminately
would have been differently affected,
and when the bits were pieced together
again the broken vases would have
shown irregular magnetization. But
they were found to be as regularly mag
netized as those which have been ex-
ca, ,ated entire, sthe opposite poles at
the mouth and base being exactly $50
degrees apart. DR.. Folgheraiter is
hopeful that further excavations may
lead to the discovery of potteries of the
Etruscan epoch containing undisturbed
vases. This, while possible, seems inn
probable. But then little while ago,
as DIR. Folgheraiter points out, the an
tecedent improbability of our being
able to get any information at all as to
the elements of terrestrial magnetism
somewhere about the time of the Tar
quins would have seemed very great, in
deed.-N.Y Times.

Lord Kelvin ON the Age of the Earth

Lord Kelvin on the Age of the Earth.
Lord Kelvin, in an address upon the
earth as an abode fitted for life, has
summed up the evidence into what
must be accepted as the latest dictum of
science regarding this obscure point.
The old idea was of solid earth nearly
10000, 100000 years old, but modern sci
encc makes an immense reduction in
this estimate. He was able to say with
confidence that the earth solidified be-
tween 2o,oo0,O0o and 3o.000,oOO years
ago. The latest estimate of the time
required for the formation of all strata
since the beginning of the Cambrian
rocks is 100000 years. Lord Kelvin
declares that the earth could not have
been habitable more than 100000
years.-Scientific American.
