ments showing that ordinary bricks
possess a considerable degree of mag
notisnl. The magnetic quality is sup
posed to be due to the presence OF
iron oxide in the clay, since the de-
gree of magnetism seems to vary with
the proportion of that substance re-
vealed in the brick. The magnetic
poles of the bricks are found to be
not in the ends but at the edges or on
the flat sides; but this appears to be
because in burning the brick in the
kiln they are set on their edges or
faces and not on their ends, and they
are polarized accordingly with refer
ence to the magnetic field of the earth.

The Geography of Nome.

The geographical position of the
Nome region is the southern face of
the peninsular projection of Alaska
which separates Kotzebue sound on
the north from Bcring sea on the south,
and termlpates westward in Cape
Prince of Wales, the extent of the
North American continent. In di-
rect line Of navigation, it lies about
300 miles northwest of Seattle and
10 miles southeast of Siberia. The
nearest settlement Of consequence to
it prior to 1877 was st. Michael, 100
miles to the southeast, the starting
point of the steamers for the Yukon
river; but during the year various
aggregations of mining population
had built themselves up in closer range,
and reduced the isolation from the
civilized world by some GO miles. The
Nome district as settled centres about
the lower course of the Snake river,
an exceedingly tortuous stream in its
tundra course, which emerGes from a
badly degraded line of limestone, slaty,
and schlstose mountain spurs, gener
ally not over 700 to 1900 feet eleva-
ton, but backed by loftier granite
heights, and discharges into the sea
at position l3 miles west of Cape
Nome proper. Three miles east of
this mouth is the discharge of Nome
river Both streams have tidal
course of several miles. -Appletons'

graved separate characters. These he
baked, making movable type of earth
enware. Even to this day in China
the impression is made by linking the
type with a brush; a thin absorbent
paper is then laid upon the face of the
type and pressed lightly with a dry
brush. We have now the first way by
which ink was transmitted to type.
This way of taking an impression
continued until about 1874, when pe1t
balls were introduced. If in perfect
order these would do good work They
were made in the following way: A
piece of strong grain pe1t or skin was
selected, and from this the grease had
to be entirely removed 1t was then

until every particle Of dampness had
gone Then long treading by the feet
followed. Wool was wrapped under
the skin and the pelt was tightly
placed over, but the great difficulty of
getting it in order and the unclean1i-
ness of the operation led to the intro
duction, about 1907 by Mr.. Maxwell
of Philadelphia, of the dressed sheep
skins or skin rollers" as they were
called But they, too, were abandoned,
being found too heavy for the hand.
About 1915 Mr.. FanShaw of New York
introduced an improved roller made by
wrapping a blanket some eight times
around a piece of wood three and a
half inches in diameter, turned true,
and with an iron spindle on each end.
The skin was then tightly wound
around the blanket and afterward

to come back after I grew another
