Michigan A Magnet

Tbe discovery of several wells of inagnetie or magnetized water iü Michigan ha given rise to a novel tbeory, which is thus propouDded by one of its advocates : "The fact that magnetio wells, or wells whose waters have magnetio properties, do exist, is now generalij conceded. That the discovery of these peculiar wcll.s is confincd to the central portion of ttria State is algo well known, and the probability that they will alwüyi be limited to Michigan is, to the mind of every scientific man a fixed fact. Let a person, to whom thi.s idea has ever occurred, take the pains to glance at a map of tbia State, and he will be astonislied at the resemhlaDce which the outlines of Lower Península have to an ordiiiary magnet. The great lakes which surround it do in fact, form an enormous horse shoe magnet, with a proportiouate current of electricity constantly ciroulating through thoso vast bodies of water, and from the different poles of the magnet across tho Southern and central portions of the State, completely saturating as it were, tbe carth, air and water with thia powerful ageut. "Science teaches nu that whonever two bodies of matter assumo ccrlain positions to each other, a current of electricity is immediately forined, and the intensity of that current (other things being equal) will be in proportion to the size of the bodios brought in contact Now with Lake Michigan on the west Lakes Huron and 8t. Glair, and the straits, we have all theneccssary qualifi cations to form a huge galvanic battery and the conclusión ia inevitable. "Again olectricity always seeks the best conductor, and in its passage acros the State, the water buing a better con ductor than either earth or air, is mor highly charged. Uut tho surface wate baving lts eleclricily conslantly drawn otï by surrounding objeots is enfeeblec whilo the lower strata are powerfull; impregnated. Ou exposuie to externa iuflueuoes, this, howevcr, graduail; passes off, whiob accounts lor person not finding this qunlity in water wliic has been transported a disíance from th wells." - Applelon's Journal.
