The Howden system OF forced draught
was used throughout the voyage. On
consumption of $40 tons of coal per day
the triple-expansion engines gave an ave-
rage number of 88 revolutions per minute.
The vessel brought no steerage passen-
gers. In her saloon were 463 voyagers,
and 275 took passage in the second cabin.
All took deep interest in the ships effort
to make new record for herself and
eagerly scanned the bulletins when they
were posted at noon.
This is the City of Paris's twenty ninth
voyage to the westward. The City of New
York still holds the record to the eastward.
The officers of the vessel we're In fine
humor. and they had reason to be. They
said they were not apprehensive that the
record which had Just been made will be
disturbed until the advent of the new
Cunard liner Campania. which is now be-
ing constructed tor service on the trans
atlantic route. That fine vessel is still an
unknown quantity in regard TO speed, but
il she comes up to her builders expecta-
tons the City of Paris will have to sur
render her hard-won laurels. In this fu-
turity event the lnman people find conso-
lation in their own new vessels, which are
being constructed by the Cramps IN Phlla-
delphia, and which are expected to give
the foreign-built Cunarder hard tussle
for supremacy.

Drawn By a. Magnetic Bowlder.


E discovery which brings to mind the nar-
velous adventures OF SlDdbad the Sailor was
made ia the mountains about five mics from
IrontoD, Mo-, by party Ct hunters.
They had been roaming over the noun
tains for several hours and eat down to rest
and ea1 lunch. They laid their guns down
on e Vi rock nesr bow.der and had no
sooner done 60 than they were surprised to
see the Weapons slids toward huge bowl.
der whlch stood few feet sway. The guns
were drawn to the bow der and there stuck
" tn such force that 1t was d til cult to take
them awey from 1t.
o. investigation 1t was discovered that
the bowldsr was an immense magnet ana
with such power thetit attracted pieces OF
iron and steel from distance Of maby feet.
Il was found that knife would slide over
that q at rock a distance of niae feet 10 the
big stone and remain sticking 30 tight that
1t was necessary ID exert great force to sep.
a.a,e Ii from the rock.
The mounteins here are known 10 be full
OF iron ore and 1t Is n this neighborhood
that he greatest iron beds Of the world are
luud, hut it has never before been known
that the magnetic ore was to be found In the
| vicinity. The bowder which was discover
ed was examined and measured AID found
! to be a piece OF magnetic iron ore whioh
| wou d weigh many tons. Is height is 15
feet. while it evidently einks many fact into
| the ground. Iss base is 20 by 80 feet and II
has almost perfectly smooth sides.
Among the queer experiments tried wss
one which elbows the force ofmagnelio IL fl a
encs. A piece OF soft iron was held en- equa
distance from the ground and the stone al
about four feet away, and instead OF falling
to the ground it would fly to the rock, chow
Ing that the magnetism was greater thar
the attraction OF gravitation at that distance
Oae peculiar appearance which YVES no
ticsi was that the sides OF the stone were
covered with email PARTICLES which stuck
out like halrq. and which proved to ba Ola
ments of iron which had been attracted by
the loadstone SO the wind would sweep til,
accumulated dirt from them ss they lay OF
the ground.
