ighty thousand men, for, although the half was dispersed and thrown upon the coast of Syria, it marched some months after upon Cairo, with sixty thousand combatants, of which twenty thousand were horse. It is true that the Count of Poitiers had operated a second debarkation of troops coming from France. It is sufficiently well known what a sad fate this brilliant army experienced, which did not prevent, twenty years afterwards, the same king from attemping the hazards of another crusade, (1270.) He made a descent this time upon the ruins of Carthage, and besieged Tunis; but the plague destroyed the half of his army in a few weeks, and lie himself was the victim of it. The king of Sicily debarked with powerful reinforcements at tie moment of the death of Louis, wishing to bring back the remnant of the army to his island, experienced a tempest which swallowed up four thousand men and twenty large vessels. This prince did not less meditate the conquest of the Greek empire and of Cons

Leaden pipes were used in England as early as A. D. 1236, and Henry III., about 1270, granted the citizens of London the liberty to convey water from the town of Tyburn to the city, by pipes made of lead. A leaden cistern, built round with stone, was erected in 1285.

k published in Paris in 1260, entitled the Treasure, wrote thus:— When I was in England, Friar Bacon showed me a magnet,—an ugly black stone to which iron doth willingly cling. You rub a needle upon it; the which needle, being placed upon a point, remains suspended and turns against the star, even though the night be stormy and neither star nor moon be seen; and thus the mariner is guided on his way. The Italian Riccioli, in his work upon Geography and Hydrography, states that before 1270 the French mariners used a magnetized needle, which they kept floating in a small vessel of water supported on two tubes so as not to sink. The magnetic needle is mentioned by Peter Adsiger in a Latin essay in 1269, in which the south pole is said to vary a little to the west; and by Raymond Lully of Majorca, in his Fenix de las Maravillas del Orbe, published in 1286. A passage in the Spanish Leyes de las Partidas of the middle of the thirteenth century runs as follows: The needle which
