With his curious whirligigs, c. L.
Weyher has initiated the phenomena
of magnets, not only in normal air,
but in highly rarefed air and in
liquids. a wooden axis has four or
more paper wings fastened to it, and
when this is rotated the air currents
set up cause either end to attract the
end of like wooden magnet rotating
in the opposite direction and to repel
the end rotating in the same direction.
The efforts are the same when wooden
rods with perforated paper wings are
held stationary in rotating cylinders.
The lines of magnetic force are imi-
tated when fine sawdust is placed on
sheet of paper under a horizontal
rotating bar" the sawdust accumu-
Iating at each end, leaving n bare
space in the middle, exactly like the
iron filings about real magnet.
