Show IS A BIO ATTRACTION. GIANT MAGNETS THAT LIFT TONS OF STEEL. They Are Operated with Sarprlslag Another lupotltil Appllti-tlo- a of Electricity Study of lb ry (irut Work. IIINK of a magnet that will lift five tons of red hot ateel. Not only that, but a magnet that will pick up half a dozen huge steel plates and drop them, one at a time, with as great regularity as the farmer sows his corn. This is not what might but what actually Is, and be, eny one who cares to visit the plate mill of the Illinois steel company at Chicago can see this electric marvel performed hour by hour. The magnets seem almost endowed with human Intelligence, so cleverly,, so quickly, so quietly do they conduct themselves. No machinery could be more regular, and certainly none more One almost thinks to satisfactory. himself that the very attraction of gravitation itself Is hardly more wonderful than the lightness and swiftness with which these great pieces of magnetized steel pick up the steel plates that would require a derrick to hoist under any other circumstances. They pick them up as easily as you would take a penny from the table and place them In the desired spot just as easily as you would place that penny In your . pocket. The magnets In use at the plate mills are of the double pole type. The first one was designed for loading 4z4 Inch billets from a pile In the stock yards upon cars for shipment. It was found, however, upon putting the magnet Into use, that it did not operate on account of the billets being so thoroughly entangled in the pile. The magnets were then attached to a crane In the plate mill and used for handling plates as stated. As a matter of fact several other large concerns have followed the example of the steel company and with very satisfactory results. Magnets for this work In connection with an electric traveling crane are specially well adapted for handling plates, as the connections to the magnets are placed on the bridge of the crane In the same manner as the connections for operating motors. After the magnet Is placed on the plates to be lifted the electric connection Is made by means of an ordinary switch placed clan to solve the problem, and he mads a study of the matter. It was not long after the Introduction of electricity for this purpose before this operator became very expert in managing the switch. It came to him one day just what ought to be done to bring the magnet up to the one plate standard. So, after the magnet had been lowered on to the pile of plates, and several plates taken up, the operator pulled the switch out, thereby breaking the current for an Instant. He found that by this operation one or two plates could be dropped off at each breaking of the current, the plates next to the magnet retalniug sufficient magnetism to hold them to the steel of the magnet itself until the current was again switched on. This operation was repeated until only one plate remained attached to the magnet, and it was then an easy matter to deposit it In the desired location. The concentric pole magnet, as one of these In use Is termed, was especially designed for handling the hot plates and Ingots of steel. Ip fact, there has been no difficulty whatever In handling a 6,000 or 8,000 pound Ingot at a low red heat. This latter feature see'ms one of the most wonderful to those who visit the mill and see this marvelous accomplishment of electricity. We have all been taught that magnets attracted cold steel, but It is certainly a novelty to see one of these magnets lifting the red hot metal Just as easily as it would that bar, which. If you placed your tongue on It on a frosty morning, would stick closer than a brother thereto. As a labor saving apparatus, the huge magnets are beyond compare. They work swiftly and silently, and save an immense amount of time. In fact, the limit of their speed of action has never yet been discovered, because it has never been considered wise to test them to their fullest capacity, the ordinary every day rate of speed being considered sufficient to fulfill all requirements. Previous to the Introduction of the magnet, the work which It accomplished required a far greater expenditure of time, both of men and machinery, and on no occasion was the work dons so efficiently. The effective use of electric magnets In this manner has been limited. But where the Iron or steel Is to be handled In such shape that it Is possible to get a good contact, there Is no doubt whatever that It Is the most economical and rapid method of handling. A great many concerns have been afraid to put magnets Into use on account of the apparent danger of dropping the material and thus endangering the men who might be at work. In years of experience the company supplying the magnets does not know of a single case where any one has been injured by the material dropping, and it firmly be- - A BUTTONS MADE OF MIL''. Factory la Holland Encased In Tfcelr &ANDY CATHARTIC Manufacture For a long time buttons and other articles for which bone is generally used have been made from congealed blood, purchased at the slaughter houses, and treated with some substance that hardens It to the sufficient consistency, says the Philadelphia Times. The same articles can be made from milk by a process Invented by an Englishman. The milk used Is sklm-mllThe process of turning this liquid into butttons, pool balls, combs, backs of hair brushes and similar articles consists of mixing it with a substance, the Ingredients of which are a secret of the Inventor, and compressing it. At the end of three days the substance is as solid as celluloid and Is ready to be cut and shaped In any way the. manufacturer wishes. At present a factory In Holland Is engaged in fashioning the hardened milk Into various articles, buttons being the ehlef. The buttons made In this peculiar way differ very little in appearance from ordinary bone buttons. They fre a creamy white In appearance, but can be colored black or red or any other color by simply mixing the coloring matter with the milk before the hardening process begins. They are said to possess advantages over the bone and celluloid article in being less brittle and less liable to chip. For combs the milk substance has been found to be especially well adapted, as It Is smooth and delicate to the touch, and derives from its creamy origin a glossy surface. In the same way It Is a good substitute for ivory in billiard and pool balls. ALL k. DRUGGISTS ....CAICAXITf tnateaeud. AattOom CADDY tba Draw Ui (wool and perfumed.

To an American, accustomed to the loose methods and wasteful habits of her country and people, there are few things more interesting and genuinely amazing than the thrift, the economies, the ways of European households, says Llpplncotts. Mrs. C., we will say, has taken a furnished house in London. She considers herself a good manager at home. She Is determined not to be cheated abroad. She gets up In the morning and, finding the day chilly, she decides to order coal and kindling. She gives an order accordingly that makes her coal merchant lout low and d smile with sweetness, while her cook stares, and, if she be an fyonest woman, cries out: All that, mem? Where ever shall we put 'em? What ever shall we do with 'em? She fears that she has made a mistake, having plenty of American cleverness and adaptability. She rescinds half the order.

The magnets are so designed that they are practically water In proof and can be used for handling plates and other materials out of doarB. The double pole magnets iu use by the steel company can. as stated, handle with salety, five tons of metal, and fur this only require about four amperes with a 210 volt current. One of the grentest difficulties that confronted the steel company when It first began to operate these magnets was the task of handling the plates one at a time. Of ronrse, it was not desirable to pick np half a dozen plates with the magnet and throw them down In a heap somewhere. The system of handling plates required that one plate at a time be taken care of. There was no principle or prt client to go by In bringing about the desired result, and so it was left to a keen willed clcctrl- - llevfs that It is the safent way possible of handling e.rtaln classes of Iron and steel produits. The magnets are so designed that It la impossible for the men v.bu are placing them to receive a sho k. Electricians who have studied this matter say that this Is the beginning cf a new tra jn the appliance of electricity to c'ianical purposes. Inventive genias is making it more and mure possible every day to utilize this factor, and at the same time place ll beyond the power of persons who are working about it to receive even the slightest Injury. When this fact has been thoroughly demonstrated it Is believed that electricity will find fields of uscfi'lness In directions that are seemingly barred to ll at present. m-- . wli A barometer has stood at Bervlle and It drops to "civil disobsequious. gust toward her, while he flings a look of hatred at rook as he leaves the room, which Interpreted means: "You fool!
