Show WATERS WITH MAGNETIC POWER English Paper Tells of Remarkable 8prlngi In Indiana. Chemists aro always Inclined to show scepticism when they hear of waters that communlcato magnetic properties to steel objects plunged Into them, and strenuously combat any unci. Idea. According to tho Lclghton hydrographcr at Chicago, however, there aro In the state ot Indiana three springs which magnatlzo needles, blades of knives, etc. Tho first Is at Cnrtorsburg Springs, tho second proceeds pro-ceeds from a bored well nt Lebanon, nnd tho third from a bored well at Kort Wayne.
