hand a number of tax payers are pay
ing on what we believe to be a fair
value OF their property. We believe
that some vigorous steps should be
taken at an early date to correct this
gross injustice, and cordially urge the
Tax Receiver that where he considers
values incorrect, he refuse the returns
and submit the matter to arbitration.
We find the value OF the taxable
property in the county according to
the digest to be $6,643, O75.OO, a gain
over 1908 of about 1921 10000. We
believe if all the tax payers OF the
county had given in their property at
q reasonable valuation that the gain
would have been great deal more.
We have examined the books of the
Tax Collector, and find them to be in
neat, business like aud creditable
condition. The statement furnished
us by the Collector is as follows:

of the flower to France from Japan
He called 1t the rose of Japan. but his

Politicians Numerous
Every white man in Narobi
is a politician, and most of them
are leaders of parties. One
would scarcely believe it poss-
ible that a center so new should
be able to develope so many
divergent and conflicting inter-
ests, or that a community so
small should be able to give to
each such vigorous and even
vehement expression.
There are already in minia-
ture all the elements of keen
political and racial discord, all
the materials for hot and ac-
rimonious debate. The white
man vensus the black; the Ind
ian versus both; the settler as
against the planter; the town

the official class against the
unofficial; the coast and the

Some Of the Peculiar Properties Of This
STRANGE Force.

b b.
The true nature Of magnetism as
such, of course, is not known. All
that we can be sure Of is that mag
netfc attraction does not radiate out
ward in all directions as does light,
but simply acts along lines consisting
of closed curves and called lines OF
force. these lines connecting the two
poles and not extending very far out.
ward between them. These curves
may be found very nicely by placing Il
horseshoe magnet under a thin sheet
of paper and sprinkling iron filings ON
top The filings will collect along the
lines.
Now. rs to the different kinds of
magnets. there are natural. artificial
and electro magnets. The natural ones
are found as magnetic ore in the earth.
the artificial ones are made by strokina

net. ard the electro magnets are caus.
ed by the action of an electric current
Some peculiar things have been no.
ticed in regard to magnetism. among
viii II are the following facts:
1t has been observed that fire irons

ing the summer months are often high

caused by the magnetism of the earth
itself by the process known as Undue
ton. Other iron articles that stay in
one position and do not come in con
tact with fire or other heat are often
found in the same condition, such as
iron bars to Jail windows and iron
ratings in front of houses.
The most peculiar observation made
however. was that the upper part Of
the steel tire of a carriage wheel at
tracts the north pole Of magnet
while the bottom part. or part in con
tact with the earth. attracts the south
pole. This is in the northern hemi-
sphere only and is fully in accord with
the theory of induced magnetism. OF
course in the southern hemisphere.
where the earth is under the influence
of the south magnetic pole the condi-
lions are reversed.
A magnet dipped into boiling water
loses Il great part of its magnetism,
which is miraculously restored to 1t ON
becoming cool again.
A sharp blow given to magnet will
cause it TO lose its magnetism. Also
the application of heat will have
like effect.
