A singular fact in geology has been lately ‘ 
disclosed, while boring for soft water, at the 
foundry of Messrs Cawood, Leeds. For 
the first thirty yards, the boring irons were 
not affected in any manner out of the usual

sessed of a highly magnetic power, which 
continued till the irons had: penetrated to 
the depth of sixty yards; afterwards. the 
attraction ceased and the. boring is now 
proceeding witheut any effect being pro- 
duced upon the iron out cf the ordinary 
way.
