MAGNETS TO LIFT TONS.

Their Extensive Use Nowadays In Foun.
dries.
By means of the electric crane and
the electro magnet which were intro
duced into this country and recentlyex-
hibited before the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers, it is claimed
that three men can now do in 10 min
utes the same amount of work which
formerly taxed the strength Of six men
for 90 minutes.It is found invaluable in
working with pig iron, heavy castings,
and immense boiler plates.
1t is believed by engineering experts
that these lifting magnets will soon re-
place the present forms of the derrick
and travelling crane. Preparations are
being made to introduce this device in
the great Carnegie works at Pittsburg,
and it's practical workings are being
very carefully watched by ut least half
a dozen large manufacturers through
out the country.
At first sight, it appears odd that a
small coil of metal weighing only about
40 pounds can, by that strange force
known as magnetic influence, aided by
the equally mysterious power Of elec-
tricity, lift tons Of iron with no appar-
ent grip upon the weight to be lifted 1t
has been proved by experiment, how
eve-, that such an electromagnetic can
lift 70 times its own weight.
In England, the electric crane and
electromagnetic are in use in n number
Of places-in particular, at the Wool
witch Arsenal and at the Sandycroft
Works. Those in use at the Woolwich
Arsenal were designed by an offer in
the British Army and greatly simplify
the work of lifting and moving heavy
shot and plates of iron and steel. Par
ticularly Is the electromagnetic Of value
in lifting heavy shot, as previous. to
their use workmen experienced no end
of trouble in getting sings securely
around the shot. 1t was long and
heavy task, and required the labor Of
many men.
Now the electromagnetic is lowered by
the magnetic crane and simply laid on
the side Of the shell to be raised; the
turning Of small lever at the base of
the crane switches on the current, and
the work is done. Here the new appa-
ratus enables three men to do the work
which formerly required nine men.
The construction Of the crane and
magnet Is peculiar, and its inventors
claim that there is less chance Of
break than when the old-fashiOned
tackle was used. Indeed, so far as is
known no accidents with the new meth
cd have thus far occurred.

ably have an opportunity, Tullia, to get
peep at your future divinity"
Tullia made little grimace In reply,
and they were all silent until the music
ceased and the shouts and even. the con-
versation OF the soldiers on the other
side of the lake were distinctly audible.
II think Ill 60 over and see Them"
said VIII, at length. .a
He did so, and Ida and Tullia, feeling
secure enough now, admired the leap
ing flames until they were weary, and
then retired to rest.
There was a rap on the door Of
Tullia's room just before breakfast,
and Ida put her head in at the door.
Company for breakfast" she said,
"and news from home"
Questions were useless, for the patter
of Idn's retreating feet sounded from
below now, and thinking that perhaps
letter awaited her, and that some mil
itary man had remained over night
with Will, Tullla went down to the
breakfast room.
There stood Burse Dcnthorne!
"Here Is a gentleman said VIII.
''who has purchased tract Of land ad-
jacent to mine, and together we are
going to bring the naptha from the
spring before the public during the
coming year"
Burse came over to Tullia's side and
kissed her, just as IL there had been
no trouble between them.
And Tullia, to have saved her life,
could not keep from crying.
"You knew that he was coming" she
accused Ida.
II did not know that he was coming
last night" replied Ida, frankly. 'But
we expected him soon. He has been In
correspondence with Will ever since
you have been here"
Having seen the folly of her declara-
ton of independence the year before,
Tullia was very compliant now.
And a great naphtha refinery is going
up near Will Bancroft's residence. as
well as Queen Anne cottage, where
Tullia expects to reign as Mrs. lBurse

4 north side man tells this story. Last
week lie stood in front of his uncom-
pleted fat building and chafed and

about their work as IL the place wasn't
to be turned over during the first week
In May.
The men who carried In the brick and
thing from the street were especially
annoying to the owner of the building.
They moved about Mt n sleepy and tur-
tle-like pace and did not appear to be
worried in the least when their slow
ness was the cause Of delay on the in
side work. utr
(; While the north side man was watch
ing them In disgust an Italian with
barrel-organ halted just across the way
and began grinding out Il lively march,
lie had been playing for several min
utes' before the north side man OBJ
served the marvellous effect of the
music OH the men who were carrying
brick. They came out of the building
like circus horses in a grand entrce,
hurriedIy filed their hods and then
marched back into the building mt
double quick, stepping high. The owner
of the building went across the street
and gave the Italian a quarter. In re-
turn for which lie played lively tunes
for half-hour. During that half-hour
the laborcrs did hs,f-day's work.
Next day the owner ran across an
other Italian and sent him over to the
corner to play.

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that. SO many forms of
sickness are not dueSto any actual dis
case, but simply tosa constipated condi-
ton of tho system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is tho only
remedy with millions Of families, and n
everywhere esteemed so highly by NIL
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating tho
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in ORDER to get its benc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tjves or other remedies are not needed.
II afiictedwith any actual disease, ono
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative.
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
