A Sad Blow to Ten Men.

The Rev. Sam Jones on one occa-
sion delivered his sermon called wives
and Husbands before an immense
gathering in Birmingham, Ala. He
dwelt particularly on the beauty and
utility of mutual forbearance between
husbands and wives, and then, as
though DESTROYS of showing the rarity
of that quality, said:
IF there is a woman in this vast
gathering who has never said an un-
kind word to her husband. she will
please stand up"
A woman arose, as though she had
been challenged, and Jones, beckoning
her with both arms. called out:
Come here, sister!~ Come right up
here to the platform"
The woman did as she was bidden
and when she reached the preacher
side was presented to the throng as
the most beautiful woman in Birming-
ham," Jones, continuing his address,
asked any man who had never an un-
kind word to his wife to make himself
known. Promptly arose ten big, strap
ping, self-conscious chaps, who started
for the platform without further bid
ding and with an air that suggested
the anticipation of praise from the
preacher, who, as they neared him
said:

up! l want everybody here to gaze or

double the figures of February, 1898, in
which month the exports were $59,931,-

with February, 1903, the exports are
$4O7, 200, against s215, Isl, All in the
three months ended with February,
1873. Thus, considering either Febru-
airy, or the three months ending with
February, 1903, the total exports are
not only larger than in that period of
any preceding year., but practically
double those of decade ago. These
large export figures are due in part to
the fact that the new corn crop is rap
idly entering the markets of the world,
TO which the United States was able to
make but slight contributions last year,
the corn expectations in February,
1903, having been 100000 bushels,
against little over 100000 in Feb
ruary last year.
Cotton exports also show a marked
gain over those of last year, the value
OF cotton exported in February, 1903,
being S37,423,317d against s24,76S,762 in
FEBRUARY of last year. Both in guam
tlty and price the cotton exports of

an Albertson locomotive would merely

an Albertson locomotive would merely
turn on a magnetic force of eleven tons,
overcoming the weight of the train,
and allowing the train to slide along
the rails with a friction of only one
ton. The entire weight would in this
way be more than held up by the mag
netic force. In fact, Prof. Albertson
has found a way to abolish the attrac-
ton of gravitation, SO far as his train
Of cars Is concerned. The train no
longer weighs anything. Instead Of
pressing downward upon the rails, it
pulls upward. The magnets are caught
In hoodlike manner underneath the
rails, and fastened above to the trucks
of the cars. When the magnetic force
is turned off the car drops down and
rests upon eight small wheels; when
in motion the force is turned on and
the magnetic hooks spring upward and
grip the rails, sliding along the smooth
oiled surface with the slightest possible
friction.
Nothing could be sfapler, yet this
use of magnetism has never been
thought of before by the inventors of
the world. Prof. Albertson has been
granted foundation patents by the
United States government, which
means that he is absolutely the first
in the field with magnetic railway.
His claim as sole inventor was so clear

"a ten-ton train loaded with passen-
gers can now be moved by a one
horsepower engine" said Prof AL
bertson to a reporter of the World.
More than that" he exclaimed with
the enthusiasm of a scientist, sit is
now possible to move a whole building
with the touch Of a mans hand. The
power of magnetism is as Infinite as
that of electricity itself, yet it has
never been put to work by man for
purposes of industry or transportation.
The cost of it is very trivial. Two per
cent Of an electric current is sufficient
to operate the magnets, while the re-
naming SO per cent can be used for
any other purpose. The current re-
quired for a thousand ordinary electric
lamps would hold in suspension a
weight of about 120 tons, or half a
dozen cars weighing twenty tons each.
Such train could be moved swiftly by

superior to any present railway, steam
or electric for the following reasons:
81. There will be five or six times the
speed
"2. There will be one-sixth of the
cost
"3. There will be no noise or vibra-
ton.
81. Sleeping cars will be abolished, as
it will be possible to travel from New
York to San Francisco in ten hours.
IS. There can be no derailing, no hot
boxes, no grade crossings accidents.
&c. There is no longer any necessity
for purchasing land when the railroad
is being constructed, as the structure
can be supported by single iron pillars.
u. The heavy locomotive will be
abolished, as magnetic force will take
the place of weight.
AT present a locomotive costs $50, 900
or more, and in one year it becomes
second rate. The pounding of the
heavy engine on the rails Injuries the
roadbed and causes constant expense,
all OF which becomes entirely unneces-
sary when magnetic force is brought
into play"
Prof. Albertson is man of great
eminence in his native land, Denmark.
He was for several years a lecturer
on physics and chemistry in Prince
Ferdinand's school at Aarhus, and af-
tel WaIu d professor at the royal poly
technic, in Copenhagen. He was as
ISOLATED with Lyman j. Gage and 9TH
ers in Chicago in an attempt to make
a commercial success of wireless teleg-
raphy, and is a man of independent
fortune. The Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad has placed it's
shops and land at the service of Prof.
Albertson, and work on the new system

motor of less than en-horse- power,
as the friction would be so Slight"
Prof. Albertson's invention may be
understood by making the following
simple experiment: Take an ordinary
horseshoe magnet and touch it to the
under side of an iron bar. 1t will at
once adhere to the bar with force
more than sufficient to hold up it's own
weight. Next fasten piece of stove
pipe wire to the magnet, carry the wire
above the bar and use is as support
for a small matchbox. 1t will then
be seen that the heavier the matchbox
is the weaker will be the adherence of
the magnet to the bar. If the weight
of the combined magnet and matchbox
is a little less than the magnets power
of attraction, it will be very easy to
move the magnet along the bar, espe-
cially if the bar is smooth and we'll
dried. This is the principle upon
which the new magnetic railroad OPP
crates. BY balancing magnetic attrac-
ton against weight, the latter is prac-
tically abolished. In fact, a heavy
train is made to pull upward as if it
were equipped with wings. The same
result would be accomplished, if such
a thing were possible, by fastening
hundreds or thousands of balloons to
q train of cars, thus enabling it to
slide along ground rails with the
slightest possible resistance.
1T is only matter Of subtraction"
said the professor Take away ten
magnetic force and you have only one
ton remaining. AS the pressure Of
this remaining ton is distributed
through a large number of magnets,
the power required to move it is very
small. The magnetic railway will be

Such is the electrifying proposition
made by Prof. A. C. Albertson, Phi D.,
late of the Royal university, Copen-
hagen, Denmark, who is at present a
resident of New York city. The most
novel and original railway train in ex-
lstence is bow on exhibition at the Ca
BILE building, corner of Broadway and
Houston street. About fifteen feet of
track has been laid in Prof. Albertsons
office, and a small car, weighing about
zoo pounds, slides to and fro by the
new system of magnetic attraction.
Prof. Albertson's idea, which is abso-
lutely new so far as transportation is
concerned, is to overcome the weight OF
a railway train by means of powerful
magnets, which slide along underneath
the rail- Suppose, for instance, that a
train weighs ten tons. The engineer in

WESTERN METAL TRADE.
Critical Point Shifts From the Con.
sumner to the Producer


CHICAGO, March 2O.-The Iron and
Machinery World says: The critical
point in the metal markets has prob
ably shifted from the consumer to the
producer. 1t is no longer a question Of
demand, but of supply. The develop
ments of the past few weeks have been
that increasing and rather appalling
obligations have confronted the pro-
Queer OF iron and steel, not in a few
gntter1ng, spectacular orders, but in
the almost universal call for material
from all parts of the West. And with
this condition confronting the trade,
the present outlook is the more encour-
aging. There are prospects for increaS-
ed production and hence for a better
ability to take care of the offered bust
ness. In the Chicago district there is
distinct gain. By special effort sup
plies of coke have been secured, Suffi-
cient to put into operation the fur
naces of the large producers, who had
begun to suffer materially from this
cause. The danger of a severe curtail
ment of the wire and nail plants in this
region has been eliminated. Cars seem
to be Ioosening up little and condi-
tons now point to a larger and more
satisfying production.
But demand, too, grows with a
growth that is fully as sturdy and
strong. The awakened activities Of
spring are in no sense better typified
than in the silent call for all manner of
metal product. Mills are becoming
crowded with orders and much bust
ness had to be turned away
Steel rail orders are going mainly to
the East because Western makers can
not respond. Pipe works are harassed
by an excess of demand. The sheet
mills are so well booked that galvaniz-
ed are advancing. Plate BUYERS can
find no place to put their orders for
early mill shipment. Crude steel is
scarce and strong. Structural shapes
are in manner hesitating because Of
the labor problems ahead, but the pros
poets there for peace are said to be
rather brighter. Pig iron buyers delay,
but the undertone of the market Is
strong.
Perhaps the most significant fact in
the pig iron market is its demand for
basic iron. The inquiries in the West
for this grade of iron are said to ex-
coed 100000 tons, and a quite consid-
cradle tonnage has already been sold.
The price is about $22.35, Chicago.

of capital stock and bonds issued upon
railroad mergers and consultations
would be tainted with illegally, or af-
fected in value by the withdrawal of
the property against which they were
issued
Mr.. Griggs alleged that the attorney
general had filed his complaint under
the apprehension that the Northern
Securities company was formed. solely
for the purpose of merging the two
corporations-an allegation that was
not supported by a single proof. and
positively disproved by all the testi-
mony in the case.
Intimate Relations Necessary.
Mr.. Griggs again slletched the ia
niliar history of the formation of the
Securities company and conctuded:
This mutually of interest possessed
by Mr.. Hill and his associates in the
two companies and this mutually of
interest of the two companies in the
Burlington system. and their joint obli-
cation upon the bonds, required that
the relations between the two COM
panies should not only be friendly, but
intimate in adj amatters of policy that
did not relate merely to local traffic
arising and ended upon their-own orig
inal and proper lines.

Watson On the Other Side.
Attorney Watson then began the
close for the government. He asserted
that 1t was his purpose to demonstrate
that the merging of railroads by the
Northern Securities company was a
most willful violation of the anti trust
act.
Isn't it the law of competition" he
said, that different roads traversing
the same territory will make different
rates, carry different kinds of COM
modities, run different kinds of trains
and in a hundred different ways seek
to better their own interests over those
of their rivals? But here the defend
ants have merged the interests of all
the roads in a certain territory and
yet they try to show that it is not done
to the disadvantage of competition and
that it will benefit interstate and for
eign commerce."
Mr.. Watson cited decisions of the
United States supreme court to show
that various phases of the merger were
in apparent violation of the Sherman
antitrust act. He declared that a man
has not the right to corner any COM
modify to such an extent as to en-
gross the market, nor monopolize a
certain line of business. Therefore, a
corporation has not such a right, and
under the plain language of the second
section of the antitrust act any cor
pOration who shall monopolize or at
tempt to monopoliZe thereby violates
the law which. was supreme and must
be upheld. -. -s> ..r.. =
