The crystal, tourmaline, is capable of attracting small bits of paper and straw in much the same way as am ber. This attraction is, of course, due to an electrostatic charge. When the crystal is exposed to sun light, of a low temperature it loses its electrical charge, but regains tt upon being heated again. If It has a nega tive charge at first, tt will have a posi tive charge when it Is reheated. Several other precious stones exhibit phenomena along this line, but tour niallne is the most interesting and spectacular of all. STRONGER HIGHWAYS NEEDED Anything Less.
