DRAWN TO 4 BOWLDER.
How a Lie Grows as it Travels.
tPhiladelphia TeIegram.l


a discovery which brings to mind
the marvellous adventures Of Sinbad the
Sailor was made in the mountains about
five miles from irontOn, Mo, by Il party
Of hunters. They had been roaming
over the mountains for several hours
and sat down TO rest and eat lunch.
They lay their guns down on a fiat rock
near a bowlder and had no sooner done
so than they were surprised TO see the
guns slide toward huge bowlder which
stood a few feet away, The guns were
drawn to the bowlder. and there stuck
with such force that it was difficult to
take them away from it.
On investigation, it was discovered
that the bowlder was an immense mag
net, and with such power that it at
TEaCted pieces or iron and steel from. a
distance of nine feet to the big stone
and remain sticking SO tight that it was
necessary to exert great force to sep
arate il from the rock
The mountains here are known to be
full of iron ore. and it is in this neigh
bOrhOod that the greatest iron beds Of
the world are found, but it has never
before been known that the magnetic
ore was to be found in the vicinity.
The bowlder which was discovered was
examined ana measured and found to
he a piece of magnetic iron ore which
would weigh many tons. Its height Is
fifteen feet. while it evidently sinks
many fest into the ground. Its base Is
twenty by thirty-two feet, and it has
almost perfectly smooth sides.
Among the queer experiments tried
was one which shows the force of mag
netic influence. A piece of soft iron
was held an equal distance from the
ground and the stone at about four feet
away, and instead OF falling to the
ground it would fly to the rock, show
ing that the magnetism was greater
than the attraction of gravitation at
that distance. One peculiar appear
ance which was noticed was that the
sides OF the stone were covered with
small PARTICLES which stuck out like

REVOLT ON DEER ISLAND.
Convicts Refused To Go to work-Boston
Police Summoned.

BosroS, Feb. 3.-News Of the trouble at Deer
Island was received by Deputy superintendent
OF Police Dill this morning by telephone from
Supt. Gerry at the island. Ii stated that the
men had refused to go TO work when ordered
to at O'Clock, and were threatening the Off
GERS lives. A detail of men from the various
stations was sent down on the police boat and
their arrival there was announced by Capt
Bragdon, who notified headquarters tina: more
men were needed. that the trouble was serious.
Additional assistance was sent.
Soon after 10 o'clock the trouble appeared 10
be practically at an end. The superintendent
OF police then received a message from Capt
Bragdon. He stated that when the police ar
rived at Deer Island a large humber o. conyicts
were gathered IN the ''loafers' shall and that a
request for them TO keep quiet and get about
their days work was not sufficient and that
they began making horrible tumult and tried
TO resist the police. The latter drew their
clubs and II was but the work of a short time
before the mob was under subjection.
Capt Bragdon stated that the poacemen had

Architect Edbrooke Says He Can Probably
Spend S5OO,0OO Next Year.
Mr.. Edbrooke, the supervising architect Of
the treasury. appeared before the House COM
mittee on appropriations yesterday for the
purpose Of explaining his annual estimates for
work to be done under his care during the next
fiscal year. Among the items of money to be
expended on work already projected was one
Of $500, 900 for the Washington city post office
building The money for this building, as in
other cases, must be meted out from year to
year, and the question that was most persist
emily asked by the committee was
whether this sum was actually neces-
sary in order that the work should progress
Mr.. Edbrooke demonstrated
to the committee that he could proftably ex-
pend half q million in the year following July
i, 1892, and the committee seemed disposed 70
accept his views. The appropriation for the
present year, ending July /, is S240, 600, amply
sufficient to cover existing contracts and those
that may be made in the meantime for founda-
ton, &c, and any residue may be carried over
into next year, so that there is no prospect
that the architect will be cramped for funds.
but will be able to push the work at top speed.
There 10 a peculiar feature of the Law providing
for this building which makes IL possible for
contracts to be made ahead of the appropria-
tons. but within the general limit set BY the
original aet.

TRYING PROTECTION IN FRANCE.
Germans Cut Down shipments Of sheep
Owing to Increased Duties.

Owing to Increased Duties
PARIS, Feb. 3.-The new tariff has caused =
general disorganization of business connected
with the import trade. The authorities are
overwhelmed with protests from people who
claim that their goods ought to Aaye been
admitted under the old rate. In some
cases these claims depend upon the
question of whether the arrival of a vessel
could be entered before il was actually in port.
AT the land frontiers also there has been great
trouble and confusion. The Germans who send
sheep TO the Paris market have cut down the
usual number to one-half, owing to the customs
tarln, and this has caused advance in prices.
There Is a disposition on the part of many
tradesmen TO advance prices on goods not
affected by the tariff. partly out of a desire to
make money and partly to- make the tariff un-
popular. 1his course is strongly condemned
by public opinion and an effort may be made
to reach the offenders by legislation.
An interview was had today with Dr. Lardy,
Swiss minister to France, relative TO the new
French tariff DIR. Lardy declared that his
government would have the greatest difficulty
IN preventing parliament inaugurating a tariff
war with France. 1t certain, he said, that
measures against Frances commercial policy.
Tie Marquis de Carbonara, the Italian am
bassador, and Baron Beyens, the Belgian min
lister, were both seen on the same subject and
each declared that in view of the new French
tariffs his government would take measures 70
protect its commerce.
