TESTING VASES FOR AGE.
Can BE Fixed Approximately by the
Use of the MaEnet-Hoyv
1t Is Done.

The attempt to ascertain the age of
a porcelain vase by testing it with a
magnet may appear to the lay mind
as rank lunacy. but a French scientist
with he musical name of Fol ghoraiter
claims, with much plausi bility, that he
can fix, approximately the dates of
old potteries in this way, says the Chi
caTo American.
The magnetic needle does not, as
many people suppose, point exactly
to the north, but deviates from Il north
and south line to an extent which diff
fers in different places, and also varies
from year TO year at he same place.
At Paris, for example, the deviation,
or ''declfnation, as it is technically
called, was 1h degrees to the east in
the year 1880. In 1868 there was no
declination-thati is, the needle pointed
due north. Since then the deciination
has been westerly. The greatest west
erly dec1ina tion-about 22Ea degrees
occurred in 1885, since which time the
needle has been slowly coming back to
the meridian. The declination is now
less than Is degrees, and in another
century it Will be zero.
Furthermore, -a~freeIy SUSPENDED
magnetic hredle does not lie horizon
tally but dips toward the north, and
This dipping, or ''inclination,' varies,
as the declination does. 1T is evident
that if we know the inclination and
declination for all past times, or konw
the laws of their variation so that we
can compute their values at any epoch,
we can fix the date of any occurrence
by the declination and inclination at
that time.
Now, most clay contains iron and is
magnetized in the direction of the pre-
vailing force-that is, parallel to
the compass needle. When the clay
is fired or baked, the direction of
, this magnetism becomes fixed, para11ef
with the direction of the compass.
needle at that instant. Hence, if the
resulting vase or brick were undis-.
turbed, it would preserve, craven in it,
so to speak, record of the date at
which it was made.
Vases are disturbed. and we cannot
tell which side was north in the firing
kiln, so that we cannot use the mag.
netic "declination.'' but we can make
use Of the dip or inclination.
This ingenious method has been ap-
Piled to vases of the Roman and Etrus-
can periods. The former give a very
different inclination from the latter,
indicating a great difference in age,
which is at least interesting and graft
flying as n first result.
Other investigators have endeavored
to fix in similar way the epochs of

HE WANTED SLEEPS.
With Which to Engage in the Game
with Antics and the
Kitty.

A young Frenchman, recently ar
rived in this city, found himself in
pleasant boarding house in NIichi-
gan avenue, where most of the board
ers We're of long residence and were
we'll observation-disclosures as members
of family, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. The Frenchman was brigh t,
intelligent, gentlemanly fellow, and
was taken into full fellowship soon.
One night little poker game was
started-a penny ante" game, or
some thing of the kind. The French
man took to it very quickly, and
found it very fascinating. The next
day he determined to purchase for
himself a poker outfit to take back
with him to France when he should
return. So he went to "a large de-
partment store and asked if they
had some Sleeps"
upstairs" said the polite clerk,
''in the toy department."
The young man went up two floors
and again asked for Sleeps"
'Over in the far corner" said the
foorwaiker.
When he reached the counter to
which he had been directed Il young
woman to whom he made known his
wants showed him a number of
wooden sheep Will wool fastened
on them.
Pardon; eet ees not zese L want.
/ weesh 'sheeps.'"
''Well. these are certainly sheep
said the young woman. land they are
very good sheep Then a new idea
came to her, and she added: "Of
course. if YOU want something cheap
err. YOU will find some tin animals
over at that other counter point
ing across the room.
But it is not Sleeps | want, but
Sleeps. ! want not Sleeps re ami
mails, but Sleeps to play wiz.
My dear sir, these are sheep to
play With"
The poor man was growing dis
tressed, when a second girl came to
the rescue. Il know what you want,
she said. come with me-
He went with her, and she piloted
him over to Il counter on which
were piled miniature ships, yachts,
and so forth.
There you are!" she exclaimed, tri-
umphantly.
But eet ees no, not zis! 1t is
Sleeps Eat / want
By this time it began to be the
general impression on the floor that
the man was crazy. and this was
strengt hened by his explanation that
he wanted the ''sheeps" for his 'aun-
ties!"
'They must keep boarding
