Most kinds Of clay contain n consid-
cradle proportion of iron. The red col
or of bricks, for example, Is due to the
presence Of oxides of iron. Whenever
an object nodded Of clay Is baked at
the temperature Of the potter's furnace
In the presence Of n magnetic field or
influence, the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism in definite direction. This In
herent magnetism is sufficient to show
the direction and give an Idea MS to the
intensity of the magnetlzing force that
acted while the clay was In the fur
mace.
This peculiar property has been used
to solve some questions Of great inter
est to scientific people In general. An
accurate knowledge of the direction of
the earth's magnetic force in early his
torical times has been deduced by sew
eral Italian physicists from study Of
the traces of magnetism shown by Etru-
rinn vases and other objects Of clay
exhumed from old tombs. The con-
clusion reached Is that the direction Of
the earth's magnetic field has varied
very greatly in the 5000 or 5000 years
represented by the age Of the objects
examined.

Tokyo Fire Walkers.

A Yokohama correspondent Of the
Indianapolis Press, who witnessed the
religious ceremony Of fire walking In
Tokyo, says: ''rhere were present dip
lomats and professors from the I'M
perial college and m Episcopal bishop,
and we think there Is sufficient evi-
dence to prove that several Japanese
women did walk through the fire. A
doubling Thomas gathered up some Of
the salt in which they rubbed their
feet, both before and after their hot
walk, to take away and analyze. An
other suggested that the bamboo pole
that was used to make the path was
hollow and may have contained SUBJ
stsInce that sifted out as 1t was drawn
backward and forward that destroyed
the heat. The little 'amak' Of my
friend, when asked why the feet were
not burned, replied, Much pray. much
pray We have stated facts. The in
depreciation must come from those
versed in the occult sciences"

Honest in Motive Fearless in Expression
Sound in Principle.

A newspaper is an educator; there are all
kinds Of educators, but the man who spends
money judiciously and literally is better able
to impart his knowledge than the man who
has little or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type Of newspaper.
The Suns reports from all parts of tho
United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns cable service is the finest known;
the troubles in the Philippines and in South
Africa demand competent correspondents
and vast expenditure of money and labor in
getting the news. When you get THE Sun
you get news and intelligent presentation OF
facts with 1t, as we'll as carefully prepared

Pro teet Our Food

The doctors inform us that alum is
poison, and that alum baking powders
hould be ayolde1 because they make
the food unwhoiesome. Prominent hygien
lets, who have gwen the matter most
study, regard these powders as an evil
that should be suppressed by state ac-
ton. In MINI. and wis. alum po,Vders
are not permitted to be sold unless they
are branded to warn consumers Of their
true character, while i'm the district OF
Columbia the authorities have under
the direction of Congress, adopted reg
uIations 10 prohibit the use Of alnm in
bread altogether.
Are not the people OF other states, as
well AZ those of MINI. & WIS entitled to
warning of II danger which IL apparently
menacing them at close hand, and isn't
the whole country entitled to absolute
protection, as the people OF the district
of Columbia are protected by legislation
which is entirely prohihitiveP
Until we can have protection in the
form OF statute, how can our state
boards OF health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the name Of the bak-
ing powder which they find TO be made
from alum2
Meantime, it will aud the housewife
in designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at Doc or
less per pound are of tins dangerous class
Pure cream OF tartar powders are usually
sold at 45 & 80 cent pound.
