same relation to iron as sawdust does
to wood.
A bar magnet is necessary for what
you are to show, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Lay it on table or any fiat
surface and then cover it over with a
piece of stiff cardboard. Now sprinkle
the iron filings over the surface of the
cardboard, and then very curious thing
will happen.
The filings arrange themselves as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. each particle forming part of the
various curves which radiate from the
two magnetic centers, which indicate
where the ends of the bar magnet are
These lines have scientific appella-

demonstration with the iron filings and

clearly what is generally called in sci

STEAM AND CITY TRAFFIC.
Electric Traction Likely to Displaee
Steam on Roads Entering
Large Cities.

The prediction that the steam-locomo.
tive must yield to electric traction II
laughed at by most railroad men. but
New York show that for city and suburb
an trafiic this substitution is likely soon
to take place. Says an editorial writer
In the Electrical Review, discussing
the proposed electric equipment of the
New York Central In the zone con-
tiguous to the city:
The effect Of the success OF this
equipment from an operating standpoint

there Is no longer any necessity for run
ming steam-locomotives within city
limits. 1t will probably mean it will not
be long before all large municipalities
Will take steps toward excluding steam
locomotives from their limits. Where
entrance is made through tunnel we
may expect an early change to electric
operation; and, conversely, electric
operation will enable roads to enter
cities which before were unattainable.
In fact, the Pennsylvania railroad has
not waited for other roads to demon
strate the feasibility OF electric opera
ton. but is at the present time con-
structing an elaborate terminal for its
system in New York city, entrance to be
made by means of tunnels driven under
the Hudson river, all trains being driven
electrically. The next question con-
fronting the trunk-line engineer after
adopting electric operation for the
terminals will be, how far is it advis-
able to extend the electrical zone? And
having certain section of the road
operated electrically. will it be advisable
to continue the use of two systemsy

Martins feelings, when he began the

now in a position to secure justice for
her, If she would permit such action,
and yet he dreaded to draw the veil
aside and tell her what he must. OF
his own hopes, and the chance to pose
as benefactor, he gave no thought.
His one and only real anticipation was
the power he now held with certified
facts to compel the contemplate David

A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT.
How a Bottle May Be Neatly Broken
in Two by Aid of String and
Cold Water.

Cut two slips of paper long enough
for each to encircle the outside of a bot
tie, leaving an uncovered space between
the slips Fasten them in place by a
thread and then wrap piece of twine
around the uncovered glass between the
strips.
Tie one end of the Irvine to nail or
some convenient hook. Hold the other
end with one hand and with the other
move the bottle quickly backward and
forward. This is done in order that the
Irvine may rub upon the exposed glass
between the paper bands This action
will shortly cause the surface of the
glass to heat. After it is well heated
drop some cold water on it. Now, by a
sharp stop, you may break the bottle in
