from 315 cities, towns and plantations.
most Of them in eastern Maine and
they represented $4,000 prickly porcu-
pines which have been killed by the
hunters since the law was passed. last
winter, and which have been paid for
out of the municipal treasures at -
cents per porcupine. AS the Le-isla
ture appropriated $500 to pay for the
porcupines which it was expected
would be killed under the bounty law
and as 313 towns thus far ask to be re-
I:nbursed to the extent of $15. 600 it is
not hard to figure out that the number
OF porcupineS in Maine and the enter
prise OF the DOrcuDine hunters were
very much undereStimated by the law
makers. Moreover, these returns are
tor only one year and by the time an
other year is passed there will proba-

Maine towns to be paid for out of the
500 appropriated. The Governor and

Des Moines, July 26.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The daily average temperature of the
past week was to degrees below
normal. On the 18th and 18th very
heavy local showers swept over por-
tons OF the central and southwest dis
tricts, the area of excess comprising
about one-fifth of the state. The
heaviest downpours, ranging from 4 to
$50 inches, are reported from stations
in Dallas, Polk, Jasper, Warren, Madi-
son and Page counties. The greatest
damage reported was suffered by the
hay crop, or the portion Of it that was
cut on the 18th. The aggregate of
part of the state conditions were favor
able for work in hay and grain har-
vesting four to five days during the
week. The bulk of the hay crop has
been secured in fair condition. In the
southern and central sections oats and
barley are nearly all In shock. In the
northern section late oats will soon be
ready to cut. There are reports of
damage to oats and wheat by rust that
cause some apprehension. Corn is do
ing notably well in all districts. Po-
tatoes. apples and the minor crops are
making good progress.

PERMANENT MAGNETS.
The Simplest Way of MaEnetizinE u
Bar of Steel.

the SlmplcAt way OF SlNSnetAEiuB u
Bar of Steel.
The simplest way Of magnetizing a
bar of steel Is that known as Single
touch" The bar to be magnetized is
laid on the table and the pole of n pow
erful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. IL the north
pole of the magnet is employed the end
of the bar first touched will also be
come north pole. while the opposite
end, at which the magnet is lifted be-
fore returning, will be south pole.
There are other and more complicated
methods, known as divided touch"
and double touch" in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing 1t within coil of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current Is en-
ployed through the intervention Of an
electromagnetic.

Shakespearean commentators have
wondered why the poet placed the
scenes OF Hamlet at Elsinore, in the
island of Zealand. whereas the Danish
prince lived and died in Jutland. But
the municipal authorities at Elsinore
discovered In their archives that an
English company was acting in their
town in 1857 or 1858, and among the
names of the actors are several of those
who were acting with Shakespeare in
London in 1880. Obviously these ac-
tors must have talked about their adj
ventures in Denmark, and so Shake
speare became well acquainted with
Elsinore and when he wrote Hamlet
naturally placed the scene in place
