From the Rochester Democrat and Chron- j icle. Probably the idea that a humble red ' brick would ever play any part in electri- ; cal experiments has occurred to few. However, this is'just what a certain lot t of bricks composing a pier at the Rey- . nolds Laboratory did and will continue to ■ do so long as they are within reasonable ' distance of the delicate electrical - instru ments used in the laboratory. A suspi cion that the above contingehcy might ex- St has been in the mind of Prof. Henry , E. Lawrence of the University of Roches- 4 ter for some time past. That it is a re- i |Lality he now feels sure, and the methods , V he used to ’(me to that conclusion are i most interesting. The professor, in ■ ollahoration with Otis A. Gage, a •special student in elec i;y, began a strbs of experiments cov tring 3cm»- months. The performance of magnetometer wnirh was used in measur ing the magnetic pewer of a steel bar was the first cause for suspecting that the . bricks were o.her than v. tat ihtir appear ance wcuid lead one to think. The m? vn# tom.. er b..d rested on a brick pier for the purpose of making it plumb. Not iocg after Prof. Lawrence, while ia Ann . Arbor, beard of a similar 'experience oc- i (♦urting re. Un his return the expert- ' ;tm ;. • went on with mere zeal than ever. Bricks of ali varieties were put. through ; any number of tests, and the great tna- j jot iry were fo”nd to be magnetic. Those mano’acturtd oy water power, kno'tfn as ' “.t jdj aullt-’' bricks, proved to be exceed ingiy strong, one equalling the power of i ii *- «• 1 ne«-He 2.3 c n. imt :re< in length. i Tvi same b.-. k of clay would make no- j i ticeabl? lefleciiona in cvm>paralively crude . instruments, while delicate ones would t.-r perceptibly. One of the brl< ks, a plain white one, hy drauiiicajy press’ 1, possessed no magne tism. A certain amount of lime enters in- | to the compc sition of a white brick, such I • a- was used, and its presence undoubtedly* ' had much to do with the absence of mag- J netic power. It was discovered that the ’ bticke gained magnetism in the presence ; cf a dynamo, though the surrounding of | i :he bricks by wire coils made no percep- ; tibb difference. Heating the bricks served ’ in a measure to decrease the magnetism. ’ ; though in case a minute amount was 1 J rf'.slned. i To iusi wbat cause this is due neither 1 g'lr.lemen is ready to state. It is the present opinion, however, that there is more or less magnetite in the clay of which the bricks are made. The mode of ! manufacturing is also thought to have J sonic thing to do with the phenomena. A« stated above,, the presence of lime served to decrease the magnetism, while the ab , allowed of greater power. The pro fessor thinks the importance of his dis i covery obvious. The slightest trace of un [ suspected magnetic power in the struct ; uial part of a laboratory is necessarily ■fatal to nicety of electrical measurements. That clay, when worked ever so little i by human agem-v. gathers magnetic prop- i j<it j. s has been thought for some time. i • j Eminent Italian scientists have made in- ! numerable experiments in that line dur ing the past half dozen years. Tneir ; greatest proof was found by experiment- I ing with several examples of ancient pot- i eery which had been buried for centuries. Crude as they were, magnetism Was found to exist in no uncertain Quantities. A TEXAS WONDER. Hall’s Great Discovery.
