Causing Iron to Swim.

Elisha required a stick to make the
axe of iron swim. We have never
learned the properties Of that stick,
But there is a pretty trick Of causing
a piece of iron to swim of It's own ac-
cord. Let it be a half inch thick, say,
and two inches square, or have 1t
round, and perfectly smooth on one
side at least Place the smooth side
against the perfectly smooth, square
end Of an open glass tube, say, an inch
and a half in diameter, and hold it
there until it and the tube are lowered
into a vessel of water to be a depth
greater than about eight times the
thickness of the iron. Remove the hand
ard the iron will remain in it's place,
the upward pressure of the water pre-
venting its sinking. This is the prin-
cple of the iron ship.-New York

One side Of an argument is always

A spoiled child is almost as bad as

RADIATION FROM MAGNETS.
A Curious 1foNifestatIon OF Energy Re-
Gently Detected.


Gently Detected.
a curious manifestation Of magnetic
energy has recently been detected
with a luminescent screen, such as is
employed IN the study and eXamina-
ton of the new Mays. NJ. G. Gutton
has ascertained that effects similar to
these rays are obtained IL a phosphor-
escent screen is placed in a nonuni-
form magnetic field Using a screen
painted in small spots and exploring
found that the patches nearer the
poles were brighter than those at the
middle. That this effect was not due
to N-rays was proved by inclOsing the
magnets in lead box which would
act to cut off this form Of radiation.
The same result was also obtained
when the screen was Enclosed in
vacuum. 1t was soon found that the
magnetic field must not be uniform
in order to produce the effect, as even
with the strongest fields no increase
in luminescence was obtained where
they We're of uniform intensity. When
the lines of force are not parallel, the
best results are secured. The phe-
nOmenon does not appear as yet to be
understood satisfactorily, as there
does not seem to be any way of ac-
counting for the energy which acts
IN the screen that can explain the nee
essity for a lack Of uniformity in the
feld.-Harper Weekly.
