THE EARTH A MAGNET.
Interesting Phenomena Observed In
Deep Behring'S.

Interesting Phenomena Observed In
Deer. Behring'S.
Old Mother Earth is a magnet and
sometimes gives evidence on small
scale Of her ability to transfer her
magnetism to other objects. Magnet
ism is derived by the steel castings of
deep behring's or wells from their posi-
ton in the magnetic field of the earth.
Instances are known where the mag
netism has been SO strong that large
sized steel spikes or monkey wrenches
stick to the walls of the casing and
difficulty is found in lowering even
heavily weighted steel tapes because
the tapes are attracted to and held
against the sides of the casing. pia-
mond drill rods, again, are found some
times to be magnetized strongly be-
cause of their position in the earth's
magnetic field. In examining the bor-
ings it was found that they were in
clined several degrees from the verti-
cal toward the north, thus becoming
more nearly parallel with the lines of
force Of the earth's magnetic field.
AS is well known, an iron bar held In
this position becomes more magnetic
than wbel held in the east and west
line. The drill rods hold heavy steel
spikes placed in contact with them and
exert a noticeable pull on heavier iron
objects, such as hammers and other
steel tools.

NOVEL TOBACCO PIPE.
Prevents Nicotine From Entering the
Smokers Mouth.

Smokers Mouth.
Many inventions have been made
from time to time with a view to pre-
venting nicotine from being drawn up
through the stem of the tobacco pipe
and into the smokers mouth. The lat
est invention along this line, which we
show in the accompanying engraving,
is a radical departure from all previ-
GUS designs. The pipe has the appear
ance of pear, the bowl being entirely
inclosed with the exception of a venti-
iauion opening in the bottom. me Dody
Of the pipe is made up of three men,
bers, which are threaded together, as
indicated in the drawing. The central
member contains the bowl proper, or
holder. This consists of q sleeve with
wire netting over each end. The net
ting at the lower end is carried in a
cap hinged to the tobacco holder A
suitable lining is interposed between
the holder and the body of the pipe.
In use the bottom section of the pipe
body is removed and the holder is
filled with tobacco. The latter is now
lighted in the usual manner and the
section screwed on again. The top
section of the pipe body is provided
with lining, which will absorb any
tainted saliva or nicotine that passes
up into the upper section. This lining
can be removed at any time and re-
placed by a new one. AS the tobacco
is almost completely inclosed, no
sparks can pass out and the pipe is
thus rendered perfectly safe in almost
any place.-Scientific American

the Maine coast. In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for

who was visiting her city relatives Tor
the first time in many years.

kept everything-that Is, everything
they had to keep. One day | went In

To "Pound" Words.

When the reputability Of punning Is
under discussion it is well TO bear In
mind that the very name OF the jest
confesses to a degree OF atrocity. To
"pun," according 10 the London Chron-
icle, is to pound" words, TO beat them
into forced conditions, so the philolo-
gists believe. lie would pun thee into
shivers with his fist" says Thersites
in "TrOilus and Cressida," meaning
physical pounding" Pun" Is not a
slipshod development Of pound" but
its original form, the Anglo-SaXon verb
being "punlan," and pun" or "poun''
having developed a final ID" just as
"soun" became Sound" and as the
illiterate turn gown" into 'gownd.'
Curiously enough, pun" and pound
have no connection with punching q
mans head, which is simply punish
ing" contracted, or with punching
a ticket, which goes back to the Latin
"pungere," to prick or puncture.
