Magnetic Clay.

Most kinds of clay contain a 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 a magnetic field or
influence, the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism in a definite direction. This in
herent magnetism is sufficient to show
the direction and give an idea as to the
Intensity of the magnetizing 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-
rian 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.

Powder Burns In Shooting Cases.
Powder burns have played a curl
ously important part before the courts" "
remarked a New Orleans lawyer who
has a large criminal practice. "Their
presence or absence is often depended
upon to determine proximity in mystic
rious shootings, and they have fire.
Quently settled the question of suicide
or murder where the fact was in doubt.
81 was interested in a case of that
kind in the early days of my practice
and prevailed upon a prominent sur
geon of this city who is now dead to
ascertain for me by practical expert
ment upon a body in the dissecting
room exactly how far away the ex-
plosion of pistol would produce burns
and powder marks. He used 80 cal

Of the discharge made a distinct burn
ut a distance of 21a feet, and powder
marks were left at a distance of more
than two yards
"Of course the grains were not actu-
ally driven into the skin, as they are at
shorter range, but the marks were
clearly discernible and could not be
easily removed. I was surprised at the
result, and it satisfied me that many
erroneous conclusions had been drawn
from such evidence in the past. It is
generally supposed that the weapon
must be held almost against the skin to
leave traces of flame and POWDER
