unsoIved Mystery Of Mature.

The exact principle which causes a
magnet to take hold OF metals and
cling to them with force which over
comes the principle of gravity is, like
electricity, one of Natures unsOlved
mysteries, the Detroit News remarks.
1t is merely known that piece of iron
which has been electrically treated
will attract and hold various other
metals. The force it exerts is called
ma gnetism.'
The most logical explanation would
appear to be that an electrically-treat-
ed piece of iron gives off a force
analogous to that given off by radium.
in that it viii affect other pieces of
metal without materially lessening its
own power.
The name magnet" is derived from
the mineral "magnetite.- This, in
turn. is so called because it was first
discovered in Magnesia. Magnetic is
a natural magnet. of which lodestone
is one of the best known varieties.

Tn the bleak land of Labrador, where

He took stout piece of board, wrote
his message on it, attached TO it a rope,
and then called his dog team to him.
Harvesting the leader he tied the rope
TO the trace, and then, with cut of
his long whip, sent the leader dashing
away. After him ran all the team,
barking and yelping at the board that
bounded and skidded over the snow.
In an amazingly short space of time
the brother appeared, his sled double

and think he knew what had been
required of him, and that he had ac-

 Contest For Estate

New York, April 25-A steam show : el used in excavating the site of a proposed modern apartment building, today was driving its nose toward a dilapidated one room shack on Wash fngton Heights, where resides S4 year old Martin NJ. Molenaor, his son and daughter, claimants of $500,000,OOO worth of the thickly settled acreage to be seen from their doorstep.
 These hundreds of acres were in- cluded more than a century ago in the estate of William Molenaor, who died in 1872 leaving a quaintly word ed will which bequeathed the land to three sons and a daughter.
 Claiming that disposition of these lands by his grandfather's heirs was contrary ito the provisions of the will the present occupant of the hut and his children have been there eight years, hoping that they prove their title rights. Several years ago a su- preme court decision blasted the hopes, but still the trio remained and when ordered by a contractor to move they refused.

CHATTERDON'S NEW OFFSTACE
 LEADING LADY

Patrons of the Lyric Stock conn
 pany who have admired the finished
 artistry and mellow precision of | Arthur Chatterdon's performances
 and the many personal friends which
 he and Mrs. Chatterdon have made in | Bridgeport Lesp1te the obstacles | which devotion to a stock repertoire put in the path of social activity, are nlingling congratulations with the re- ! gretS they are expressing to the pop ular leading man over his departure | which will take place at the end Of | the current weeks performances of | Adam and Eva" Th- congratula-
 tions are comng from the ever-widen- 1 ing circle who are just becoming aware of the existence of MT. Chat terdon's very newest offstage leading lady, Helen Elmira Chatterdon, a
 winsome little miss who even this
 early displays some of the manner l isms of her gifted parents, but who | slipped so quietly into the world on
 March 3rd last, shat many of her
 parents friends were much delayed l in making her acquaintance. Little Helen was christened at her parents apartment in Colonial Courts on Sun day last, the Rev. De Witt Talmadge Van Doren of Norwalk being the of ficiating clergyman. James Thatcher, general manager Of all the PoH stock companies acted as godfather. In spite of the protestations of He1en's parents that she has other plans in view than a career in the profession
 which her parents adorned, the genial presiding genius of the Poli com
 panies may some day be accused of
 uncanny foresight in thus associating
 himself early with one who will
 naturally inherit so much histrionic
 talent. It is not generally known that Mrs. Chatterdon for many years depicted important roles and that her
 marriage six years ago was the cul- imitation of a romance which began when she first met MT. Chatterdon as a member of a stock company of which he was the proprietor. No one
 who has seen Miss Jane Tarr enact outstanding characteristic need bc told that Miss Tarr was the god mother, because with two such claims for consideration as the fact that she is a sister of Mrs. C4-atterdon as we'll as one of the most valued of MT. Chat terdon'S associates at the Lyric no one @lse had a chance. When little Helen grows up and starts running for of flee in New Yolk state she may at tempt to garner votes by assuring the voters of the Collar City that she was named after Helen of Troy, or the equally gullible denizens of Elmira u t her middle name was bestowed on her in honor of that bustling burg. To remove this temptation let it be chronicled here that the Helen is for Mrs Chatterdon's mother, Mrs. Helen Tarr, who was present at the christ ening and the Elmira for MT. Chatter don's mother. The guests at the christening included: Irene Vanstone. Shirley Grey, Clara Brill, MT. and Mrs Becker, MT. and Mrs. Will Half ner, MT. and Mrs. Joseph l.. B. Chis- holm, MT. ard Mrs. Higgenbothan, George ATvine, Albert Abrams and Arthur Griffin.
