plates and ingotS of steel. In fact,
there has been no difficulty whatever
in handling a 5000 or 5000 pound in
got at a low red heat. This latter
feature seems one of the most wonder
full to those who visit the mill and see
this marvellous accomplishment of cleo
tricity We have all been taught that
magnets attracted cold steel, but it is
certainly novelty to see one of these
magnets lifting the red hot metal just
as easily as it would that bar, which,
if You placed your tongue on it on a
frosty morning would stick closer than
a brother thereto.
AS 4 labor saving apparatus, the
huge magnets are beyond compare.
They work swiftly and silently and
save an immense amount OF time. In
fact the limit of their speed of action
has never been discovered, because it
has never been considered wise to test
| them to their fullest capacity, the or
dinary every day rate of speed being
considered sufficient to fulfill all re-
quirementS. Previous to the introduc-
ton Of the magnet. the work which
it accomplished required a far greater
expenditure of time both of men and
the worke done SO efficiently.
The effective use of electric magnets
in this manner has been limited. But
where the iron or steel is to be hand
led in such shape that it is possible
to get a good contact, there is no doubt
whatever that it is the most economi
cal and rapid method Of handling. A
great many concerns have been afraid
to put magnets into use on account
of the apparent danger of dropping the
material and thus endangering the
men who might be at work. In years
of experience the company supplying
the ma gnetS does not know of q single
case where any one has been injured
by the material dropping, and it firmly
believes that it is the safest way pos
sible or handling certain classes of iron
and steel products. The magnets are
so designed that it is impossible for
the men who are placing them to re-
ceive q shock.
Electricians who have studied this
matter say that this is the beginning
of new era in the appliances of cleo
tricity to mechanical purposes. Inven-
tive genius is making it more and more
possible every day to utilize this pow
erful factor and at the same time place
it beyond the power of persons who are
working about it to receive even the
slightest injury. When this fact has
been thoroughly demonstrated it is be-
lieved that electricity will find fields
of usefulness in directions that are
seemingly barred to it at present.-Chi-

The Wrong Reason

The Detroit Free Press, speaking
with regard to the Hawaiian annex
alton scheme, adopts the right con-
clusion, but gives the wrong reason
for it as follows:
annex Hawaii, 2200 miles distant,
possessing population incapable
OF appreciating American ideas of
government and morals, and there
can be no valid excuse for not ad-
hitting Cuba, lying close to our
doors and possessing a Christian
civilization. Let Mr.. Mckinley yield
the co,erie Of plotters who 30 cum
ningly working Congress for the
furtherance of their island grabbing
project, and he must, to be consist
ent, reverse his attitude toward the
Cuban annsxationists."
Our interest in Cuba and the
other West Indian islands is vital
and imperative. They command
the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean Sea. They are within half a
days sail from our coasts and most
intimately connected with this ma
ton in commerce. Beyond that
every instinct of humanity and Am
ercan freedom, as well as our tradi-
tional policy, evokes our sympathes
and assistance with all efforts of
these people to establish and main
tain their liberties.
Spain is ready to quarrel with us
for her supremacy over Cuba, which
she has reduced to a desert. Ger
many is under the suspicion of get
ting ready to grab West Indian
foothold in Hayti.
The vital and traditional interest
OF the United States is ia these ISL
ands. We should be ready to pre-
vent European aggressions there.
With these possibilities pending, to
waste strength in trying to hold an
island in the Pacific that we have
not the slightest use for is blundpr
at once fatuous and pusillanimous.
II ii be true, as reported, that the
administration will accept SPANS
plan Of autonomy 10 order to push
the Hawaiian job through Congress,
it means an abandonment OF Ameri-
can policy and a fatal error Pits

is that they have in numbers too

When the time to cease working came on.
The %whippoorwill dreamed in the thicket

And the cricket chirped out in the wheat;
The cattle stood lowing beside the farm
gate,
And a milking song rose faint and sweet;
The summer breath told of the roses that
grew
By the farmhouse whose gable doomed

And mother would meet us in welcome.

When the time to cease working came on.
We are toiling on still, though on different
ways
From the ones where we iabored when
young,
And not with the carelessness known in
the days
When Hope her sweet melodies sung.
The hours are longer, 1t seemeth, than
then
But the toiling will some time be done;
Then peace will again smile upon us as
when
The time to cease working came on.
