 from their ancestral home in the Eu- pirates valley the knowledge of the loadstone, if not of the compass. The far east, by common consent, is credi- ted with the latter; and, if we may be- lieve a certain Chinese historian, the rudimentary idea was known about forty-five centuries ago. The emperor or that day, finding the movements of his army impeded by a persistent fog, constructed a kind of chariot which in dicated the cardinal points. But as the fog is said to have been raised by the machinations of his enemy the story in- vites experts in the higher criticism. The compass, however, is mentioned in early Chinese records, and something of the kind must have been known before the Christian era.
 It seems to have been used in naviga- tion by sailors of that nation early in the fifth century, and in eastern seas generally inithe. earliersmiddle ages, the first really definite mention of the mar

does that particular substance possess this property in so extraordinary a de- gree? Touch common needle with a piece of pure iron and it remains on the table; the ore hematite which consists of two atoms of iron in chemical com- bination with three of oxygen has no more effect, but substitute the interme- diate magnet three atoms of iron com bined with four or oxygen and the nee- dle comes to it's arms like a long lost brother. So, too, when hand magnet is dipped into a little heap of scaly hematite nothing happens; but grant, lar magnetic rushes to it so eagerly that grain sticks to grain. Pliny's men, ton, however, shows that the loadstone was known long before his time, and the discovery was more, probably due to wise men of the east than of the west.
 It seems as if we must go further afield than even Chaldea, unless we are to suppose the Chinese to be Sumerian emigrants and to have taken with them

1ners' compass by a western writer da- ting from the twelfth century At first the needle was supposed to turn due north because huge mass of load- stone marked the position of that pole; put when it's variation was discovered the theory had to be modified. Then, as Professor Silvanus Thompson tells us, the center of attraction was shifted about, as circumstances seemed to re- quire, some putting the magnetic moun- tains in Calcutta-certainly an unfor- tunate guess-others near the Red Sea or in the north of Russia, or at the back of Greenland or in Japan. We must, of course, not forget sinbad's ex- periences with magnetic island, or the way in which two magnets held Maho- nets coffin suspended between heaven and earth. Sir. Thomas Browne has embalmed many strange notions about the magnet in his Vulgar Errors" yet, after all the scientific facts are suffl- ciently curious London Standard.

have been forgotten. They failed to ob-

 benefactors. Probably the attractive
 effect exercised by the magnet on iron was discovered by accident, and its other properties ascertained by degrees. The professor repeated Pliny's story about the former-hew an unsuspecting shepherd unconsciously stepped on to a mass of magnetic iron ore and found
 that the top of his crook and the nails of his boots stuck to the rocks. Strange
 if true; and that shepherd must have felt very much as if he were walking on soft asphalt on hot day. But those who have scrambled in Alpine boots over spells banks of magnet ore tells us they were unconscious of any impedi- ment. s To the first discovered the property of attracting bit of ordinary iron must
 have seemed "a very great medicine" and it is undoubtedly a marvel. Why

Tn lecture on "The Magnet and Its Author" at the Hoyal Institution Pro- lessor silvanus Thompson diverged for a time into the attractive bypaths of romance. We need hardly say that Dr. Gilbert was not the discoverer of the magnet, nor was he even correct in as- cribing the introduction of the mari ners' compass into Europe to Marco Polo. That idea is dismissed by Colonel Mule with the remark that-of it and the alleged bringing of gunpowder he will say nothing, since no one, he believes, any longer imagines Marco to have had anything to do with the matter.

MARCUS BRAUN, the special
commissioner who was sent to
Europe by President Roosevelt
to investigate the emigration
question at its fountain head,
estimates that one million emf
grants will reach the United
States this year In years past
the bulk of emigrants was COM
posed of the Teutonic and Celtic
races of western Europe, but
those who are now coming to
our shores are mostly composed
of the Slavonic races of eastern
Europe and Italians. This
change in the character of our
immigration has, according to
the immigration Bureau, in
creased the ill1teracy rate at
from 7 to IS per cent. Many OF
these 1lliterate people are lawless
and Objectionable, and are very
poor material for making Amer
lean citizens. Some are said to
be outlaws in their own country,
yet they seem to secure their
entrance without trouble. A re-
strictive immigration law that
will restrict is a need that should
not be overlooked by the next
Congress. While we may vel
come the poor but industrious
foreigner who seeks our shores
to make home for himself and
family, it is the duty of the gov
eminent to protect our own cit
liens and homemakers first, and
not permit this country to be-
come the dumping ground of the
outcasts and criminals of other
countries.
