Much More Powerful.
Prof. Smith was once lecturing on

most powerful magnet, wN1 which he
attracted a block of iron from dis
lance of two feet, says an exchange.
Can any of you conceive a greater
attractive power?" demanded the lee
turer, with an air of triumph.
Il can" answered a voice from the
audience.
Not a natural terrestrial object?"
Yes, indeed
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled.
challenged the man who had spoken
| to name the article.
Then up rose old Johnny Sowerby
Said he: IT will give you facts,
professor, and you can judge for
yourself"
when / was a young man there
was little piece of natural magnet
done up in a neat cotton dress as was
called Betsy Maria. She could draw
me fourteen miles on Sunday over
plowed land, no matter what kind of
weather there was. There was no re-
sisting her. That magnet o. yourn is
, pretty good, but it won't draw SO far
as Betsy Maria!"
