more coils around the outside. A
magnet that depends upon a current
of electricity for its magnetic power
is called an electromagnetic and is
made of soft iron.
A permanent magnet is composed
Of steel. 1t may be made by passing
an electric current through a wire
around it, or by allowing steel to re-
main in contact for a long while with
a strong magnet Steel takes mag
netism less quickly than iron, but
when it is magnetized it stays so
much longer than iron.
When a thin bar Of steel is mag
netized, then suspended by its center,
1t will be found that one end points
north and the other south, no mat
ter how it is turned. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of the compass, the hand
of which points to the north, turning
as the compass is moved about, so
that the directions may always be
known. A magnetized bar of steel, so
arranged, is found always to have a
north-seeking end, which is called
the positive pole. and a south-seeking
end, the negative.

Precious Stones.
The Costly Rubv.

In this very precious stone, the
| ruby, is found the greatest amount of
| wealth in the least possible space,
for a ruby equal to a kings ransom
may be tucked in a waistcoat pocket.
A perfect oriental ruby weighing five
carats is worth ten times as much
as a diamond of equal weight. So
valuable have they been throughout
history that jealous monarchs have
guarded them cunningly.
Rubies were first mined in Burma,
where the secret Of their value was
kept dark as long as possible, SO the
Europeans would not exploit them.
Those of ordinary sizes were sold to
merchants, but all passing a certain
mark of size were declared to be the
possession Of the king. The kings
kept a tight hold on the mines where
the gems were found, sending tales
around that they were guarded by
grizzly giants and FIRE splitting
dragons.
The pigeon blood" red is the color
Of the best ones Of Burma, while the
purplish stone Of Siam is popular.
and those mined in Ceylon, which lack
luster, are worn in France, where the
style demands that q ruby be not
polished. .-....
Rubies are easily told apart from
garnets of the same hue, for the
ruby, viewed under light, will refract
one side crimson and the other scar
let. while the garnet will show a
solid color. 49,
Rubies are least difficult of all pre-
cious stones to mine, for when . vein

signs, but how the old gem cutters

rubies are cut, they are usually pol

An old superstition of the. ruby
,. says that 1t attracts other Jewels:
that X q ruby is tied to q string and
lowered into a river containing pre-
cious stones, the ruby will be-. en-
crusted with other gems upon Its. re-

wearer safe from flames. It Is con-
sidered lucky for all persons born in

Flowing With an Elephant

P. T. Barnum, the great circus
owner and Snowman, had clever ideas
for advertising. One of his best was
introduced in 1855 and brought $780,
900 worth of business to the show.
Barnum's home in Connecticut was
along the line of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad. From
the windows of the train could easily
be seen the plowmen in the fields, SO
the idea came to Barnum to hitch an
elephant to his plow and use it while
the trains passed. The plan worked
beyond Barnum's widest dream. An
attendant in oriental costume was
given time table, and upon the ap-
proach Of the train the elephant was
started down the furrow. Thousands
