Magnet to Draw n Hit.

The hardened end of bit, or chisel,
broke off in bore hole 300 metres
deep, put down near Ostroppa. in Up
per Selisia. by Zoellner & Co; and this
obstruction effectually prevented fur
ther boring of the hole, because all
the diamond crowns wore away, says
the London Colliery Guardian. After
the most various attempts had failed
to remove the piece of steel, the follow
ing plan was hit upon by Engineer
Degenhardt of Gleiwitz. A soft steel
bar, Is metres long and of seventy
millimetres diameter. was covered by
a single winding of india-rubber tape,
and magnetized by the current of a
small dynamo driven by the portable
machine employed for the work of bor-
ing: and the current was kept constant
Mt about thirty amperes by means of n
simple resistance coil. The steel bar
was let down into the hole unmagnet-
ized: and. when II reached the bottom,
the current was switched through the
conductor enclosed in the rope for let
ting down and drawing up. On the first
day that this method WAS employed the
piece of steel was drawn up to the sur
face, so that boring could be resumed.

A New Industry.

A new and profitable industry has
sprung up around the banks of many
of the ponds and salt lakes in this part
of the state. The common cattail,
which grows in profusion in the
marshy grounds near the waters edge.
has become a valuable article of COM
merce and sells at the lake for q cent
a pound. The cattails have largely SUI
perseded wool cotton and hair for mat
tresses and upholstery and are said to
be admirable substitutes. while they
cost far less than the materials men
toned. The boys who gather the once
worthless weeds are paid a cent n
pound for them, and since the 1st of
March over ten tons of the commodity
have been gathered and paid for at
Syracuse or Turkey Lake. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply and is in
creasing.-Hammond und.l News.
