"A list of the registrars Of the State

uses OF II that they might desire. How
ever, when Mr.. Hayes turned to get
the list he was unable to locate It.
Fearing that the original list might
be mislaid Mr. Hayes said that he
had copy made and this was some =
where in the office Either MIR. Hayes
or one of the underclerks had put 1t
away. and neither remembered yester-
day where TO put his hand upon IT.
The search for the original list and
the copy will be continued, Mr.. Hayes
assured The yirginian. and when
either is found this paper will be no

TRAvERs FINDS WOOD o. X.
Has Had No Trouble In Practice For
English Tourney.

English Tourney.
Jerome D. Travers, the national ama-
teur champion of the United States.
who is now in England getting ready
for the British amateur championship
at Sandwich, beginning on May IS, is
10 longer worried about himself. This
is shown by the fact that in letter to
friend Of his in New York he de-
clares that he is satisfied with his
wooden clubs.
When Travers sailed away with
Fred Herreshoff he said he had little
concern about his change from TIE
Schenectady type of putter to one sim
liar to the Braid-Mills variety. and he
seems to have had no trouble with it
since his arrival in England. He said
at the time of sailing he believed he
would be able to get on good terms
with the wood. which. as Is we'll
known. he preferred not to use in the
last amateur competition. Wood Is
practically imperative at Sandwich. so
the great little iron master proceeded
to try to handle his wooden clubs as
he did when he first broke into the
limelight.
If any man is logged in his per
sistence it Is Travers. for it is his tenn
permanent never to be beaten until he
is actually trOunced. In other words.
he never gives up until the last dog
is hung" If that Is true with an op-
ponent it is likewise true with an in
animate club.
In effect. the amateur champion
writes his friend that he is able to get
good distance and quite straight ball
with his driver and this despite the
fact that he was held up a few days
after his arrival by rain. He practiced
every day on his way across. devOting
chief attention to his driving

A Chinese Flea Trap.
A flea trap is in general use in See
chuan. 1t consists Of two pieces Of
bamboo, one inside the other. The out
err is about foot in length and two
and a half inches in diameter. 1t is
longitudinally fenestrated. The inner
bamboo is of equal length. but only
about an inch in diameter. 1t is kept
in position by means of short wood
en- plug. The inner bamboo is coated
with birdlime or the like. The outer
bamboo is protective. The trap can
be placed under bedclothes, among
rugs and so forth. Any tleas that go
through get caught on the birdlime.
The traps might be of great value in
connection with plague epidemics.-Dr.

plain the Change In the Metal.
Getting the magnetism into the steel
so that it will stay there permanently
is long and intricate process. as Pro-
fessOr Silvanus Phillips Thompson de-
tition of Electrical Engineers.
First of all you have to pick your
steel. 1t must have from 5 to s per
cent Of tungsten and from GA to O.6
Of carbon. 1t must have not more than
2.5 per cent of chromium. but It must

perature as convenient After forging
it should be heated to 800 degrees c..
lowered to $50 degrees g.. there main
tanned for time and then cooled off.
This "nOrmalizes" 1t.
To harden 1t it is raised to $50 de-
grees G. for not more than five min
utes. then lowered to about 700 degrees
c. and quenched at this temperature In
brine or ut d temperature under 20 de-
grees e.
Then 1t is ''matured" by boiling or
steaming 1t for ten or twelve hours or
by heating 1t to 70 degrees z. for twen-
ty hours 1t is alternately heated and
allowed to cool or several times.
Now the steel Is ready to be mag
netized. If 1t is bar u magnetizing
coil is used: If horseshoe. then an
electromagnet Is employed. 1t is mag.
netiZed to the highest degree possible.
and there is some advantage In revers-
ing its magnetism few times. The
result depends upon the maximum
magnetizing force and not on the dura-
ton of the application. The current is
diminished to zero. While under the
influence of the current the magnet is
struck with IL brass hammer
Its stability is insured by Subjecting
it TO alternate cycles of demagnetiZing
and remagnetizing about the point Of

What change has now taken place
in the steel neither Professor Thomp-
son nor Edison nor Tesla nor any other
man can explain. The steel looks the
same as it did originally; it feels the
same: It's weight is the same; its ring
is the same; it has neither odOr nor
flavor. The microscope reveals no
change in its structure Chemistry
fails to detect that an element has
been added to or subtracted from it.
And yet it will draw another piece of
iron to itself and hold it there.
