Qualities of Magnet Explained by Science

The coast and geodetic survey says
that every magnet possesses two kinds
of magnetism, that in one end being
different from what is in the other
If the magnet is hung up on a thread
so that it Is free to turn and a second
magnet is brought up to 1t, 1t may be
noticed that the near end Of the sec
ond magnet draws one end Of the sus-
pended magnet and repels the other.
The repulsion Is exerted between like
kinds of magnetism and the attraction
between unlike kinds. The earth has
all the characteristics Of permanent
magnet, and for this reason sus-
pended magnet. when allowed to come

REPORT CARDS

In the town Of Reven-Saw the chill
dren and their parents changed places.
The parents took the places of the
children and the children took the
places OF the parents. They even grew
to look like each other.
The parents had thought it would
be fun to be children for while with
nothing to worry them, and the chill
dren had thought it would be fun to
be parents and to do the disciplining
and attending to everything.
| The parents went to school and the
children stayed home and did the work
OF parents. These new parents were
called by their own names, with ''par-
ent'' before each name, and the new
children were called by their own last
names with Mother" or Daddy" be-
fore 1t, so that Mrs. Fenwick, who

report cards. None of the children

they had thought everything would

Now that they had not heard OF

to satisfy their curiosity and see how
all was turning out.
The parents, however, wrote and

Bones came up to speak to him and
| rejoined Peter, who was glumly
watching the unlashing of the small
boats and the rigging of the falls by
which they were slung oversize.
AS Murray nodded dismissal to
Bones, Silver left us and hoped up to
him.
"All set and ready below, captain"
he announced.
My great-uncle cast his eye at the
approaching ships, now so near that
we could make out quite distinctly the
contour of their hulls, painted yellow,
with white band delimiting the ports,
man-o'-war fashion. The James was
already beginning to take in some of
her top canvas.
VERY good, Silver" he answered.
Master Bones You will bring the
ship to and put over the boats"
There was great Tapping and
banging as the brig rounded to, and
with much yo-ho-hoing the boats we're
lowered into the water.
"You will go off first, Master Bones"
ordered Murray. Kindly present my
compliments to Captain Flint and say
that | should like to have q word with
him aboard the James at his early con-
venience."
Bones sullenly touched his cap and
led better than half the crew into one
of the two longboats the brig had car
cied. Murray nodded to Silver as they
cast off.
"Start your train," he said shortly.
Nephew Robert, wish you and Peter
to go into the second boat. At once,
please! !"
Peter and I climbed clumsily down
the ladder Of cleats nailed to the briggs
hull and dropped into the bobbing
longboat. Peter groaned as we
crawled over the thwarts.

And he was.
Presently Murray descended the
briggs side with an agility which put
me to shame and took his seat in the
stern sheets. Darby swarmed down
like a monkey and ensconced himself
beside us in the bow. Silver was
slung over in the blight of rope, and
the last of the crew tumbled over after
him, one upon the others heels. Oars
were thrust out, and we pulled rapidly
toward the Royal James, wallowing In
the trough of the sea, quarter-mile
away. The Wairus, foaming up under
a cloud Of canvas, was almost as near,

XMAS AT DELAWARE COLONY
Inmates Well Remembered by Club
and Benevolent Societies Made Happy

We wish to take this opportunity to
thank the Century Clubs, Kings
Daughters of Milford, Oranges and
other organizations, and also those
generous hearted individuals who by
their generosity made Christmas 1925
at the Delaware Colony such splen-
did occasion. All of the children were
well provided for. Thirteen turkeys
raised on the farm were killed for the
Christmas dinner, and Sharpless-
Hendler Ice Cream Company sent
enough ice cream for everyone.
Santa Claus himself, visited the
children and added to the merriment.
Beautifully trimmed and lighted trees
were set up in each cottage.
On Christmas morning early, the
children were directed to their boxes
and Christmas stockings, which had
already been set out. Under the di-
rection and, with the assistance, where
needed,Of the employees, the boys and
girls opened their boxes. Happiness
knew no bounds. If only those who
contributed could have seen, we think
there would have been still more hap
piness. In a surprisingly large num-
ber of cases the children received just
what they wanted and had asked for.
And as this is being written, the
sounds of merriment nearby and the
bright and happy faces that accom-
pany such merriment are the best
tribute to that Christmas spirit that
made it all possible.-Howard T. En-

STATE OYSTERS WIN APPROVAL
Given Clean Bill of Health by Della
ware and Federal Officials

That Delaware oysters have been
given a clean bill of health is set
forth in the Delaware Health News,
issued by the State Board of Health.
The Board in cooperation with the
United States Public Health Service
has examined at frequent intervals
samples of water and oysters taken
from Delaware beds and they have
been approved by the Federal and
State health officials. Certificates
also have been granted the Delaware
oyster shucking and packing houses,
they having adapted approved sani-
tary methods of preparing the oysters
for market. Certificates to this effect
are sent out with packed oysters
whenever required by authorities of
certain states or cities. The Health
News says in part:
The full publicity given to the oys-
ter during 1924 and 1925 must make
the oyster blush with embarrassment
whenever exposed to the public view,
Moreover its head must be turned by
the obviously overdone publicity Civ
en- to an otherwise quiet and modest
food product. Delaware adds its share
to this Outburst but oyster resident
in Delaware may look the public in
the eye-satisfied that they are clean
and pure after their bath of fresh
water and compressed air. Certainly
they could never go back to their own
dirty shells.
The outbreak of typhoid fever at
tributed to oysters in 1924 started a
ball rolling which finally became so
large that it encompassed all the
oyster producing and consuming
states and at the same time fattened
out the oyster industry for the re-
mainder of the year. Bruised but not
defeated the oyster industry arose
this fall and now appears to have
grown fat on the rough treatment of
1924.
