LIFTING BY MAGNETS

Electro magnets are becoming more
and more common for lifting purposes,
and are made to do the work formerly
accomplished by means of chain and
hook Where hot iron plates have to be
handled the serviceability of the cleo
tro magnet method is most pronounced.
In large English foundry a number
of electro magnets capable of carrying
load of 1000 pounds are used. The
magnets consume a pressure of one
half amperes of current at a pressure
Of 11O volts. At the Woolwich arsenal
the greater part of the moving of large
projectiles is done by the electro mag
nets. Many large works in this coun-
try use them for lifting heavy weights,
transporting them rapidly from one
point to another by electric motor.
Magnets of from one to five horse
power are the usual sizes used.

CURIOUS JELLY FISH

TUAVE you ever studied the jellyfish? ?
n If you have seen one on the beach
at the seashore you have prob
ably looked at it as thing featureless
as it's name implies. When you call
man a jellyfish you intend to con-
vey the impression that he is spine-
less and devoid of character. That is
the general supposition, but if you
really knew how to look at the jelly
fish you will quickly realize that it
has more character and more live in
terest than one would ordinarily sus-
pect. For instance, each one is really
a colony of animals, each of it's parts
having it's own organization and sepa-
rate existence, although the circula-
tory system of the group is general
and that the nourishing qualities are
carried to all members of the colony.
This is municipal ownership, or, if
you will, Socialism, pure and simple
Each part, however has it's own func-
ton, one set of members buoying up
and moving about its fellows, while
part of them catch and digest the

STATISTICS OF FLIGHT

The distances over which birds mi
CRATE vary between wide limits and
are often surprisingly great. The bobo-
links, which rear their young on the
go to Cuba and Puerto Rico to spend
the winter, twice traverse a distance
exceeding 2SOO miles, or more than a
fifth of the circumference of our earth,
each year. The kingbird lays it's eggs
as far north as the ffty-seventh de-
gree of latitude and is found in the
winter in South America. The bien-
NAL pilgrimages of the little redstart
exceed 5000 miles and the tiny humming
bird 1000 miles.

PLANT With MANY USES

The maguey plant. which is cult
waited extensively in Mexico, can be
put to many different uses. The In
dians make rough sort of cloth,
working with it as with cotton or any
other textile plant. Out of its fiber
they make many different sorts of
stuffs, and all these without the aid of
modern appliances. Besides, from the
juice of maguey is made a sort of
liquor called mescal, much liked by the
natives, and said to be very eff
cacious in certain maladies. From
the same maguey juice the well
known pulque is made, which is
to the native what beer is to
the German and cheap red wine to the
French laborer. A splendid quality of
paper is also made from the fiber of
this plant.

SOME LONG WALKS

1t is certainly a great feat to walk
around the world. $4,000 miles But
there is many a man who has accom-
plished this feat without realizing it.
especially in the cases of postmen and
messengers. In England there was a
postman who, when he was retired
from active service, had covered on
his rounds a distance of 100000 miles.
This long trip occupied fifty-eight
years.
Another postman in Scotland, who re-
tired after thirty-four years of letter
carrying, had Travelled 10000 miles
on foot. His friends presented him with
a handsome sum of money and the
still more appropriate gift of an easy
chair. Still another postman, who had
tramped the roads of Yorkshire for
more than a quarter of a century, COM
pleted a jaunt of 125,0O0 miles during
that time.
1t is astonishing what distance can
be covered by men who are by no
means pedestrians in the ordinary
exercise of their calling. The organist
Of a church in rural England who died
a few years ago had walked $4,000 miles
merely to play his organ every Sunday.
For fifty-one years he had done his
Sabbath tramp, only failing once to
put in an appearance, and never once
being late.

TWO OLDEST PUMPS

Longer than any Of their companions
have the two old pumps which stand on
Church street, between Liberty and
Cedar streets, in New York city,
survived the inroads of modern
ness. These pumps are of wood,
the only ones of wood now re-
naming i'm the city. Yet, as today
they are seen darkened by time and the
shadows of the elevated road, their
usefulness is none the less pronounced
Hardly a truck driver passes them by
without stopping at one or the other to
water his horses. Indeed, so expected
has now become this drink that many
horses stop of themselves while the
driver jumps down and takes a bucket
from under the seat to fill with the
never failing clear stream And be-
fore continuing his way, the driver as
well is likely to put his mouth under
the waters flow, that he, too, may par
take of it's refreshment. While one
steady line of wagons is passing up
ward by the east pump, another is COM
ing downward by the pump on the
other side of the street, all awaiting
their turn for a drink. Just how long
these pumps have stood there it is
rather hard to tell with accuracy.
Generally they are said to be older
than the oldest inhabitant of that part
of the city.

PSYCHOLOGISTS have ne

A RCHAEOLOGISTS have never
~ satisfactorily explained why the
handiwork of some of the tribes
of North and South America resembles
that of the highest civilizations of Eu-
rope and Asia. OF course, the theory
of migration might easily explain it,
but the actual connecting link which
would make all things clear has not
been supplied.i For instance, here is
Peruvian foAr footed vessel which is
very much like some from the Island
of Cyprus and from the excavations on
the site of Troy.
1t was found at Ancon, Peru, and,
like its higher and analogous type is
of considerable artistic interest Even
in Pennsylvania several examples of
pottery have been unearthed which
very much resemble the work of the
Greek craftsmen in construction, most
striking of which is a tripod bottle,
shaped on the lines of four footed re-
ceptacle.

TAPESTRIES AND GERMS

The Investigations of Vitolo Bosco,
an Italian hygienist, show that paper
and tapestry wall coverings in houses
are favorable to the preservation OF
disease germs. On the other hand.
walls covered with stucco or good var
nish cannot only be readily freed from
germs by washing, but they possess
the property of cleansing themselves
spontaneously from bacteria which
lodge upon them. 1t has been found
that the germs of typhoid, of cholera
and of pneumonia when placed on
such walls perish within twenty-four
hours, while on walls covered with
dried size they survive for weeks and
even months. Dampness increases and
prolongs the danger
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-29
NEW STAMP

The latest thing in philately is the
military picture stamp. The Italian
government is issuing what might be
described as military picture stamps.
Each regiment of the Italian army is
provided with a special stamp for the
use of the soldiers belonging to 1t. The
designs are, of course, all different and
of the most varied nature. Thus, on
one appears the name of a colonel or
the regiment, on another a design or
rifles supporting the royal arms.
The military district of Ivrea has a
stamp on which is a view of the town
of Ivrea on that of Milan is a repre-
sentation of military council on that
of the Twenty-second regiment of
cavalry are arms of Catanea with the
regimental motto. On the regimental
stamp of the Sixth Bersaglieri are the
notes of the regimental bugle call and
the motto, "Bersaglier, ia tua dotrina?
Patria, onore, carabina." And so on.
1t is believed that these stamps will not
only increase the esprit de corps of the
soldiers, but will also heighten civilian
interest in what appertains to the
army 1t will also, no doubt, bring
about new branch of philately.
The Russian war office is adopting a
similar idea. The king of Italy is said
to be the originator of the new de-
parture, in which he takes lively in
terest.

young radish is cultivated in a glass
