Haydn's OK Min,Iet.

Hadyn one day received visit from
a butcher who said that himself and Lis
daughters were admirers of Haydn's
music, and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write a minuet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn
consented, and in few days the man
of meat obtained his music. Not long
afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. On looking out he saw i
band of musicians forming ring
around a large OK tastefully decorated
with flowers. Soon the butcher came
up and presented the OK to Haydn, say.
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the com
poser a present Of the best OK In his
possession. Ever after this little com
position VAS called the "Cx" E,lnuet.-I

Making a Magnet.

The simplest way of magnetizing
bar OF steel is that known as single
touch" The bar to be magnetiZsd is
laid On the table. and the pole of
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
tven<y times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
cf the-inagnet is employed the end of
tie bar first tcu led viii also become
moth pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning. will be south pole
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch
and double touch" in which two and
even four magnets are employed.

by plac'r. it within coil Of insulated
wire, through which a paiyanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
IN this way, however. is weak com

DEVIATION OF THE COMPASS
Only at Certain Points Does the Mag
netio Needle Point Due North
and South.

Soon after the compass was invented
It was noticed that 1t did not point
true north and south. For long time
It was supposed that this deviation
or declination was everywhere the
same until Columbus, on his way to
America in 1892 discovered near the
Azores place Of no declination- Maps
now published by the different govern
ments give lines ofsequal declination.
In the extreme eastern section Of the
United States the declinaton is as
much as 20 degrees west. This de-
creases to zero at place near Oncin-
natl, O., and becomes an easterly declf-
nation amounting to 20 degrees east
in the northwest.
The discovery as to "dip" was made
nearly 100 years after the time Of Co
lumbus. 1t was found that If COM
pass needle is perfectly balanced so
that it can swing up and down as well
as sideways its north-seeking pole will
dip down at q considerable angle. This
angle increases as one goes farther
north, and decreases as one goes south.
In the southern hemisphere the north
seeking pole Of q needle points up In
the air.
During Shackleton's south polar ex-
petition, a point was found on the
great antarctic continent where
needle would hang vertically with its
north-seeking pole on top.

Proftmonqerlnd.

To those who dislike that intruder
into the English speech. "prof1teering,
there is at hand the more formidable
word "profitmongering." For good old
"monger," which merely means "deal-
err" has its roots deep in the past
the shady past. In Sanscrit It means
''to deceive" and although there are
honest mongers of fish or iron. the
practices Of too many other sorts OF
dealers have deeply tainted the word,
as all scandalmongers know. Trading
and cheating are sometimes closely
related, and even Ireland's "Great
Book Of the Law" gave legal sanction
to the kinship. That venerable docu-
ment defines the three rents Of land
the fair rent (which a member of
the clan paid), the stipulated rent, and
the rack rent, imposed upon the
stranger. The stranger suffered so
much under this ancient village com
munity law that the "monger" in time
became somewhat disreputable per-
son.-London Chronicle.
