TEST YOUR BAROMETER.

Don't expect barometer to tell you
the truth about the weather until you
have tested it thoroughly. Two COM
mon causes for unreiability are air
and water mixed with the mercury in
the tube. These can be expelled by
boiling the mercury.
In order to test barometer let 1t
hang for Il time in the proper position; !;
then gently and with care incline II so
that the mercury may strike against
the glass tube. II there is no air with

but IL the sound is dull and muffied it
indicates the presence OF both air and
moisture. The presence Of air alone is
shown by minute bubbles.
II at any time the mercury seems to
adhere to the tube, even in the slight

Instrument should be put into expert
hands for rectifcation.
There are several kinds of barom-

MAGIC OF A MAGNET.
Makes a Chain Rigid Enough For q
Man to Climb u.


A Rerlin correspondent Of the Scien-
tific American describes an interesting
experiment that was made at the works
of one of the large German manufac-
magnets.
A chain. fastened to the ground and
carrying an iron ball ut its free end
was raised to vertical position by
the approach Of the great lifting mag
net suspended from a crane.
The attraction Of the magnet was so
strong that the chain remained in a
perfectly vertical position. grown,
up workman climbed up the chain
without disturbing its rigidity in the
least. The chain seemed to float in air.
The magnetic pull on the ball was
greater than the gravitationaI pull on
the man.
This remarkable experiment shows
the enormous power Of attraction ex-
erted by the lifting magnets that are
used In iron and steel works to carry
about iron material Of every descrip-
ton. The magnets enable the opera.
tor to seize iron material at any point
desired and convey II to any other
point within the range of the crane
incidentally the use Of lifting magnets
has greatly diminished the risk Of acci.
dents in the moving Of heavy masses
Of iron.

indictment of DR.. William B. Craig
on the charge of murder, will be pic
tured by the defense in the murder

in the commonly accepted sense, was
unknown.
This will be the answer to the

by the prosecution, that the veteri-

had ripened into love, and that when
