'This work, which is important for the history of astronomy, is perhaps the most curious of Kircher's publications. 

 The discussion whether the water, which the author asserts to be in the planet Venus, may be used for baptism [which 

 ' would have tickled Father Tyrrell, ejusdem Societatis], and some other extraordinary things of a similar nature, have ren- 

 dered the possession of the book interesting to collectors.' Libri Catalogue. Needless to say, the author rejects the 

 Coperuican system, but adopts that of Tycho Brahe.

 scientific genius (or at least industry), and most valuable as a storehouse of all that was known of the magnet at tm 

 tiu.e of its publication. It contains moreover several original observations, i.e., the influence of volcanic eruptions 

 on the magnetic needle, numerous experiments, including one ascertaining the carrying power of magnets (now being usea 

 in practice for lifticg the heaviest castings), the first use"of the term 'electro-magnetism,' and a table of places wuh their 

 declination.
