Takes Photographs by Magnetism.

A school superintendent in Texas has made some Interesting investigations into the nature of the force that a magnet exerts when it pulls on iron and steel. Proceeding on the theory that this force is analogous to the waves of light and the waves of the X-ray, he attempted to take photographs by means of it and got some encouraging results. By shutting up * magnet under a photographic plate, which rested upon several small objects, in a perfectly dark chamber, for a period of several days, he obtained photographs of the objects upon the plate. If further research should show that this effect was due solely to the magnet the experiment might cast considerable light on the problems of magnetism.
