little wife Of Ed 7. holland, the for
mer State Treasurer Of Missouri. who

poker and embezzled money from the
State, Is In fair way TO get him par
Soned, although he has been In the
venitentiary only few months. She
lived In luxury while he was the treas
urer of the State. Now she keeps .
boarding house here and does the
homework herself She has been
moving heaven and earth to get him
pardoncd before Gov. Francis goes out

',od that he will do this. possibly as
me of the Christmas pardons which
are his prerogative.
The business men of ST. Louis are In
high spirits. It has never been so

bank clearances during the past week

any previous week in the city's his
tory, and the receipts of the custom
house for last month were more by II
per cent than those of the same month
last year. This prosperity has di-
rect effect on the man of small means,
who wants to build home for his
family and is hunting for cheap
money, as well as on the projectorof
big street railway and misunderstanding
ing enterprises, who gets his money by
the hundreds of thousand dollars.
Eight per cent. is regarded as re-
markably high rate of interest here.

Magnetism Of Iron.

An important paper has been COM
municated by Prof Knott to the Ed
inburgh Royal society on the magnet
ization of iron by current passing
through it, the experiments being an
attempt to obtain some insight into
the nature of circular magnetization
as it exists in an iron wire carrying a
current. For this purpose resort was
had to tubes, in which such magneti-
cation was measured by the induction
current produced in coil wound
longitudinally around the wall of the
tube. The circular magnetization
could be made to result either
by an axial current along a copper
wire threading, the tube, or by a sec
tional current from end to end along
the tube itself. Several tubes of diff
ferent bores were used in pairs, the in
duction, axial or sectional, in one,
being balanced by adjustment Of rein
stances in the secondary circuits
against the inducrion, axial or Sec
tional, under the influence of the same
current in the other. The average
magnetic force acting round the tube
was calculated in accordance with the
usual assumptions, and this, taken
along with the observed induction,
gave an average permeability, the gen.
eral result being that the sectional in
duction accompanying given current
is greater by about 2 per cent than
it would be IL the usual theory as to
the relation between 1t and the axial
current were accurate. No such tests,
1t is believed, have ever before beeu
made in this interesting field.

four corners of the platform are posts
connected ut their upper ends by a rect.
angular band, preferably of metal, on
which is supported the roof, the latter
being formed with fange to engage
the inner side Of the band. On the
top of the roof arc eyes or hooks to be
engaged by the chains of a derrick or
other hosting apparatus, to remove
the roof or place it in position on the
band. The ends of the car
are preferably of solid boarding,
but the sides consist of series of over
tapping doors, the upper end of each
of which has an L-shaped fange en-
gaging a slot in the band, permitting
the door to hang vertically or allow
ing it to be- moved inward in q
horizontal position near the top OF the
car. The door is swung outwardly, as
shown, to permit of its being moved
into horizontal position, where it is
supported upon removable Longitude

the car. The lower end of each door
has an outwardly turned flange, and is
engaged by a longitudinal locking bar
connected at one end by link with
the corner post, while its other end is
secured to middle post by paddock.
