United States nearly $1,000. 5000 to keep

Prof. Murani, distinguished Italian
scientist, says that certain persons pos
sess a strange magnetic or electrical in
fuence, which produces very curious re-
suits. A few days ago while he was at
work on some electrical experiment,
one OF his friends suddenly entered the
room, and at the same moment the
needle Of his galvanometer moved to
and fro very rapidly. He was sure that
his friend had in one of his pockets
either a magnet or some other cleo
trical instrument, and, in order to con-
vince him that he was mistaken, his
friend removed oil his clothes. To the
professors surprise, the galvanometer
continued to act just as though pow
erful magnet was near 1t, and the closer
his friend approached the more marked
its action became. Moreover, the front
of the body acted on it in the same man
ner as the positive pole of magnet.
and the back as a negative pole.

as a buokkeeper, and so progressed that
in 1892, at the age Of 40, he was made
president Of the New York Life. With
him in the cabinet the administration
would have been in close touch with the
great financial interests Of New York.
But plausible as the political part of the
rumor Of Mr.. McCalls appointment was,
1t was not credited in insurance circles,
because insurance men did not for a
moment believe that he could afford tc
give up his magnificent salary as pres
idagt of the New York Life for the feet
