Giant Lifting Magnets.

The peculiar properties Of an electric
current often leads one TO fancy
] that II may perchance be endowed
with the spirit OF intelligence, so mys-
ferrous are its inner workings
most curious use OF electricity is the
adoption OF lifting magnets in machine
shop and mill practice. An electro-magnet
In It's simplest form consists of a piece OF
soft iron wound with n large number Of
turns OF Insulated copper wire; when an
electric current passes through the wind
ings OF wire the electric forces are con-
verted into magnetic forces and the coil
or wire and core Of soft iron assume all
the characteristics OF a common steel
magnet.
The operation OF lifting magnets is quite
simple. The magnet Is attached TO the
crane hook and the ends Of the wire form.
ing the coil is connected directly with the
dynamo. The crane is then swung so that
the magnet is suspended directly over the
metal to be moved; the magnet is then
lowered until It comes IN contact with
the object the current is turned on. the
hoist is raised and the mass OF metal "a

When the load reaches the desired point

CAR wreck
SEVEN PERSONS KILLED AND OYER
TWENTY INJURED.
Party of Ioung Folks Were Returning
to Providence, r. H. From Crescent
Park-Motorman Did Not Know the
Track and Allowed Car to Strike a
Curve at Full Speed.

Providence, R. l., June A large
Is seated open car, chartered by a pri-
vate party and returning to this city
from Crescent park, left the rails on a
sharp curve in East Providence and
was overturned. Seven persons were
killed and 20 injured.
1t is believed two of the injured will
die. A. revised list of the dead fol-
lows:
George Atcherson, 20 years.
Edward F. Brennan, Is years.
Alice Franklin, II years.
Enrico Gamboni, % years.
John Gavin, 20 years.
Angelo German, 30 years.
Gustave Guertin, 25 years.
William w. Luther, q years.
Bertha NJ. Kelley, Is years.
John Schneider, 10 years.
Ethel Whitley, 10 years.
The motorman in charge of the car,
w ]. Laughcher, was unfamiliar with
the road over which he was travelling.
The car, an open one, was Of heavy
build.
Fog prevented a clear view of the
road ahead and the motorman, una
ware of the sharp curve below, allowed
the car to coast rapidly down the hill.
Suddenly he felt the a swing into the
curve, and, realizing the peril, reversed
the current and applied the brakes.
Seven of the passengers were pin
toned beneath the car and instantly
killed.
Those who were able began the work
of rescue. A large joist was utilized
as a lever, a pile Of stones forming a
fulcrum and the car was raised from
the ground just enough to permit the
escape of its imprisoned passengers.
Two persons had succeeded in escap-
ing when the joist broke under the
weight of the al and the heavy We
fell back, killing two of the in
jured.
The escue again raised the car
from the ground and by building a pile
Of heavy stone kept it in position while
the dead and injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John Gavin
and George Atkinson, both of whom
had sustained fractured skulls, died
an hour.
