A POWERFUL MAGNET.

The Almost Incredible Force Necessary to
Overcome Its Attraction.
A most interesting electrical experi-
meut has recently been made at the
engineering station of the United
States army at Willett's Point, L. l.,
by Major w. r. King. of the Engineer
Corps. by which he transformed two
fifteen-inch Rodman guns, weighing
so, 600 pounds each. into an immense
electromagnetic. The guns were placed
side by side, and joined at the breech
by number Of pieces OF railroad iron.
The guns were then wrapt separately
by fine insulated copper wire. over
eight miles of it being used. The wire
used was an old torpedo cable consist
of forty small insulated wires bound
together into cable of about three
sighths of an inch in diameter. The
arc light Weston dynamo.
A number of experiments were made
with this most powerful magnet, and it
was found that force of 90, 600 pounds
was necessary to overcome the mag
nets attraction and draw the arma-
ture from it. a string of four fifteen
inch shells, weighing $50 pounds each,
was suspended from one of the guns. 1t
was discovered in the course of the ex-
periments that there was point in the
bore of the guns, and seven and one
half inches from the muzzle, where the
magnet repelled instead of attracting
Small pieces of iron were propelled
from it with force, while a shell placed
at that point was rolled slowly out OF
the gun until it dropped from the muz-
zle and was caught by the attracting
force at the mouth of the gun.
1t is thought that the power of the
magnet would have been greatly in
creased II more wire had been used in
the wrapping and if more railroad iron
had been used in connecting the guns

Rivals OF vaiapuk That Have Found Ad-
ntrers IN Many Countries.
Every cultivated language shows
more or less Of art In its construction.
bat IL Il unconscious art. Some recent
attempts to frame universal language
are made without any eoncealment of
artificial eontrivanee. The inventors
of these strange tongues seem 10 take
pride IN their ingenious schemes.
Readers have seen numerous notices
OF Yolapuls. one OF the candidates for
universal favor. The name illustrates
we'll the formation OF the language.
IL il formed from the German Tois,
people, and the English word, speech.
The material Is taken chiefly from En-
glfsh. French and German, but the
parts are worked down a good deal be-
fore they are put together again.
It may not be SO generally known
that already several rivals 70 Volapuk
have appeared. The most prominent
of these Is paSiilngsta, which differs
from the former in taking It's material
from the Greek aud Latin languages.
Its name Is compounded of the Greek
Pas, all. and the Latin llagua. meaning
tongue or language. The name indi-
Gates language for all or the Lam
guage OF all; almost a perfect synonym
for Yolapnk. A comparison of the
two tongues will show wherein they
differ. Thus: What o'clock is itP is in

Not even do these two complete sys-
TENS have the field all to themselves.
A more recent dialect, for that is what
ii is. appears under the name Spelfas.
Some explanation may be needed TO
show that this name is formed from
Pasinngua, and has nothing whatever
70 do with spelling. The syllable lia
represents in more lazy way than
lingo the word ltngaa: but pe is a
slovenly representation Of Pas, and the
prefix as a sign OF a collective noun is
no Improvement upon the methods OF
the most highly injected languages.
There IS still another system devised
for universal use, which is called Lin
gitala8fna This name is clearly de-
seriptive, and means the language OF
light. Whether it really possesses any
light Of its own depends upon the ac-
quaintance the person who uses it may
have with the languages from which its
elements are taken.
In fact. hero is the difiici lty with
every one Of the systems proposed.
Those who devise them are familiar
with all the languages upon which they
draw for material, and to their view
the meaning of their speech is plain;
but those who know only one language
find il requires about the same study to
learn Volapuk. for example, as to learn
foreign tongue. While these export
ments are being carried on, it is en-
eauraging TO note that the English Ian
guage Is gaining ground as rapi fly as
