Now there was Vet another of whom we must speak, called Professor Skidmore, whose dwelling place was over against the laboratories of physics and chemistry. There spoke he unto us of magnetism. of the :esthetic side of the electro-magnet and of personal magnetism, Now he believed in the concrete hefore the ahstraet, therefore in each laboratory he placed as instructor a personal magnet, so that when an expedition to a glass factory ua, proposed. verily the magnet did its full l I l i i l l l l l 4 work.
