THE MAGNET A PUZZLE.

j. q long and intricate process. as Pro-
fessor Silvanus Phillips Thompson de-
scribes 1t in the Journal of the lnsti-
tition Of Electrical Engineers.
First of all you have TO pick your
steel. 1t must have from 3 to : per
cent Of tungsten and from O.4 to O.G
of carbon. Ii must have not more than
% per cent OF chromium. but il must
not have any manganese. titanium. cop
per. sulphur or phosphorus. Ii Is forg-
ed with as little working of the mate
rial as possible and at as low a tenn
perature as convenient. After forging
il should be heated to 900 degrees c..
lowered to 80 degrees c.. there main
tanned for time aud then cooled Of.
This "normalizes" it.
To harden ii it is raised TO 80 de-
grees c. for not more than five min.
utes. then lowered to bout 700 degrees
c. and quenchcd at this temperature in
brine or at a temperature under ~ de-
grees e.
Then il is ''matured" by boiling or
steaminc it for ten or twelve hours or
by heating IL To 80 degrees e. for TWEEN
~ hours. 1t is alternately heated and
allowed to cool of several times
Now the steel il ready to be mag

and there is some advantage in revers-
ing its magnetism n few times. The
result depends upon the maximum
magnetizing force and not on the dura-
ton of the application The current Is
not shut off suddenly. but is gradually
diminished to Zero. While under the
influence Of the current the magnet is
struck with a brass hammer.
Its stability is insured by subjectin:
it TO alternate cycles of demagnetizing
and remagnetiZin. about the point OF
magnetization at which it is to remain.
What change has now taken place
in the steel neither Professor Thump-
son nor Edison nor Tesla nor any other
man can explain The steel looks the
same as it did originally: it feels the
same: its weight i the same: it, ring
is the same; it has neither udor nor
flavor. The microscope reveals no
change in it, structure. Chemistry
fails to detect. that an element has
been added to or >ubtraCted from ii.
And yet it will draw another piece OF
iron to itself and hold it there.
