At what distance will two magnets attract each other ? We have exper imented with a small magnet and we cannot find anything to place between the magnets to prevent them attracting each other. A. Magnetic induc tion takes place through all substances independ ent of theircharacter or composition. This induc tion decreases as the square of the distance. ceived from the following correspondentsand examined with the results stated : J. T. C.-It is plumbago.-C. A. L.-It is frank finite a mineral consisting mainly of the sesquiox ides of iron and manganese combined with the protoxides of zinc and iron. The attempts to work it for zinc have proved unsuccessful ; but it L9 ground up to a dark paint and can be used also as an ore of iron. The zinc is said to give in creased tenacity to the iron.-N. H.

C It is iron pyrites some of it in cubic crystals. Not valuable as an iron ore.-H. P. W.-It is prehnite which is a silicate of alumina and lime (the green ish portion) in traps. It is not an ore. The mag netic action is due to a slight percentage of iron oxide in the mineral.-C. R. M.-It is a water-rolled mass of fragments of feathers of waterfowl and ters.-L. A. A.-It is rock crystal. It is of little value except when in line clear crystals. It is very common in many parts of the country.-S. N.-It Is probable that the substance found is not quick silver. Send a specimen.-J. W.-They are iron and copper pyrites specimen No.2 being richer in copper. The reduced metal is mostly black proto sulphide of irob together with some sulphide of copper and carbon derived from the fuel. The iron ladle is covered with metallic iron and a little eopper.-
