Washington, July 25.-Aroused by

How the Magnet Is Made.

What is now known about magnets
and suggestions for further investiga-
ton, was told recently in lecture de-
Nvered by Prof. silvanus P. Thompson
before the British Institution of Elec.
tr1cal Engineers. The most powerful
ana permanent magnets are made
from steels containing about six per
cent, OF tungsten and 0.5 per cent OF
carbon. The magnet bars are to be
long and narrow, and after forging
at the lowest possible temperature
should be heated to 900 degrees c.,
kept at ESQ degrees for a time, then
cooled OF, and for hardening are to
be reheated, cooled gradually to 700
degrees, and plunged into brine at 20
degrees. Maturing is effected by boil
Ing ten or IL hours. The bars are
magnetized by means of electromag-
nets, and when the magnetization is
to remain extremely constant it is
reduced five or ten per cent. by ex.
posture to demagnetiziug forces.

Bonus Earned,

e.. People at sea bet upon all sorts Of
contingencies. An emigrant ship from
England was recently approaching the
Australian coast, and an interesting
event was expected at any moment in
the married peoples quarters. Consid-
cradle speculation and excitement was
developed over the question whether
the happy. event would take place
within or without the three-mile limit.
A great cheer went up when it was Of
flcially announced that the little
stranger was legally an Australian and
had earned the 1ve-pound baby bonus
of the commonwealth. A minute or
two earlier and the child would have
been a native of Stepney, London, to
which parish children born at sea
belong.

No Standardized Dress,

It is pleasure to stamp despite
fully on the praise of Prof. Walter
Sargent of Chicago for the Chinese
custom of zone established style of
dress for women
Life might be cheaper under such a
dull gray provision Of costume. But
it would certainly not be worth liv-
ing. The whole trouble with costumes
today is that they are too much alike.
Instead of designing a dress that is
becoming to her own dimensions, pro-
portions and other endowments of ma
ture, the average woman accepts the
fashion Of the hour, whatever it may
be-large sleeves, small hips, no
waist or whatever the fashion gods
decree. ,
What is needed is not more stand
ardization, but more individuality in
dress. A declaration of independence
is the crying feminine need Of the
hour-not a uniform designed by any
board Of economists.-N New York Trib.

SILLY IDEA THAT DIES HARD
Average Man, In Throes Of Discon.
tent, Finds solace In the
Phrase, "Pass a Law"

In the course of an interesting dis.
cussfon in the department called "The
Interpreters House." in the American
Magazine, appears the following:
when something happens that we
do not like, what is the first thing we
say? There ought to be law
against it. Every time! That is the
unconscious tribute we all pay to the
queerest, the most naive and stupid
superstition in world where all SUI
perstition dies hard enough-that all
you need to do to stop anything is
to pass law against it.
mo amount of experience, appar-
emily, will free the minds Of men from
the incubus, the hoodoo, of this ex-
traordinary superstition. No matter
what the issue! If you want to stop
gambling, splitting, combinations of
capital or of labor, prostitution, college
fraternities, the high cost of living,
arson, saloons, monopoly in restraint
OF trade, the turkey trot, burglary,
tips, walking on the grass-whatever
It is, there is only one thing to do
pass a law against it. Then every
body will be contented: everybody
will believe that the offense will cease
at once, or at least as soon as you
have gotten a sufficient number Of
people in Jail. Only get enough laws
passed, and, above all, If you can
only get enough people in Jail, you
have realized the average mans mil.

Ghost Of FRAGRANCE.

That is a curious story, told in tho
London Spectator, of the ghosts of vi
Diets seen and smelt in the Protestant
cemetery in Rome. A scent ghost was
recently referred to in connection
with the militants, a strange associa-
ton! They destroyed, in q certain
Welsh town, q venerable tree under
which the dead body Of woman was
once found, and in the dead hand was
clasped bunch Of wild thyme. No.
body knew the woman, and there was
no wild, thyme near. Yet, afterwards.
the scent of wild thyme "a strong and
unmistakable scent) was often no.
ticed at that spot. Now that the tree
the setting Of the tragedy-has been
destroyed, will the scent still haunt
the place? That is the question that
the people Of the town are asking.

Sharing In Government
sent upon request.

AS you make your bed, so will you
have to lie, says the old adage. Po-
litfcal elections give everybody a
chance to share in the city govern
ment.
A city government. is what the
voters make it. If it is too much
bother to vote, if one forgets to reg
lister or to vote, he or she is not shar-
ing, and therefore has but little JUS
LITIGATION to complain when things
do not suit
If we do not cooperate in RUM
ing municipal affairs, somebody else
will run if for us.
A city government is what the
people active in it's making make of
it.

Five Families In Sinule Room,

Five families living and sleeping in
one room were recently discovered
among TIE slums of Dudley, 'Worces-
ter (Engiand). According to Canon
Southwell, who. apparently possesses
an intimate knowledge of the district.
the occupants were all quite comfort
able until the arrival of the chap in
the center Of the room" Then the
happy family circle was broken up.
Five families and a ledger in one
room is really overstraining the
economic possibilities of slumdom.
Two and three families in one house
are common enough to agitate the
public mind, even in this age of hous.
ing and town planning reform.
Herculaneum and Pompell.
Pompeii was buried in ashes or
Hight scoria. while Herculaneum was
entombed in lava, which, after cool.
ing, hardened into a material of the
consistency Of marble; and we thus
have the explanation of the fact that
while the first city has long been un-
earthed, the latter is still largely COW
cred with its ancient lava shroud. Ex-
cavations are constantly going on at
Herculaneum, and the work will in all
probability continue to the finish, but
1t is not likely that any especially i'm.
portant results will accrue, since tho
life of the two cities was practically
the same.

hasn't paid this license sells q pack
age of cigarettes with coupon good
for premiums enclosed, he puts him
self liable to arrest, trial and a fine
of not to exceed $500 or imprison-
ment not longer than six months.
On the other hand II he breaks open
the package and removes the coupon
he destroys the internal revenue
stamp on the package and lays him

/ Of ALABAMA
DIED TODAY
FORMERLY GOVERNOR OF THAT
STATE, AND PROMINENT IN
NATIONS COUNCILS
Death Will Have Effect Of Weaken
ing Democratic Majority on
Tariff Bill
.CBy Associated Press. \

Washington. Aug. 8.-Senator
Joseph F. Johnston, Of Birmingham,
Ala, died at his apartment here
this morning, shortly before 9
O'Clock, Of pneumonia. He had been
In III health and had not attended
Senate sessions for weeks. being
most of the time confined to his
apartment. His trouble was not d.
agnosed as pneumonia until a few
days ago. The senator's son, For.
ney Johnston, was summoned from
Birmingham last night, though 1t
was then thought that the Senator
was not in immediate danger.
Senator Johnston was 70 years old,
and was Confederate veteran. He
was governor of Alabama for two
terms, and a member of the Senate
since 1907, when he was unanimous
ly elected to succeed Senator Pettus.
He was reelected in 1909.
Senator oJhnston's death weakens
the Democratic majority on the ad.
ministration tariff bill in the Senate
The leaders insist there will not be
serious difficulty, though, in passing
the measure. On a caucus align
ment basis, the leaders figured the
vote would be forty-nine to forty.
seven for tie bills passage. The
Democrats danger of losing a ma
jority may be obviated by the Ala
bama Legislature, in quickly pro-
viding for the filing Of the vacancy
under the seventeenth constitutional
amendment.
Senator Johnston was chairman
of the military affairs committee,
one Of the most important in the
Senate. ...Y. -,
The Senate paid tribute to SEN
ator Johnston's memory through
resolutions Of respect and immedi-
ate adjournment Of today's session.
The resolutions provided that q COM
mittee OF seventeen should represent
the Senate at the funeral and &C.
