The Importance of iron to the EIec-

The Importance of Iron to the EIee-
trieaI Industry.
The very root of the electrical indus
try Is iron. Without iron 1t Is doubt
full II the larger generators and the
mighty motors could be built, for the
powerful magnets upon which these
inventions depend for their power are
all made OF soft iron either in the
form of thin plates or long wires cov-
cred with insulation.
Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet, which
is but a piece Of steel bent in the
shape of a horseshoe and charged with
magnetism. When a steel bar Of this
shape is rubbed against another mag
net 1t is Charged" and will remain so
for a long time. The magnets used In
electrical machinery are Of the Undue
ton %type-that is, the magnetism van
ishes just as soon as the current Is
taken away from them. II you wind
a long insulated wire tightly around a
soft iron cor and send through this
wire a weak current of electricity the
core will be instantly possessed Of
strong magnetic qualities. This fact
Is the basis of all electric motors and
generators. The field coils are usually
made Of a soft iron core wound with
yards and yards Of insulated wire.
When the current is sent through this
wire the soft iron core is turned into a
powerful magnet, and this magnetic
power is used to drive motors or to
generate more Observation-Disclosures

Money Boxes.

Money boxes to encourage thrift
among the penny wise are ancient and
popular institutions. A dictionary Of
1885 mentions money boxes of potter's
clay wherein boys put their money to
keepe," and doubtless the thrifty child
of all ages had his money box of some
sort or another. OF late years tin has
been the ~favorite material, but the
writer has recoliections of an elaborate
earthenware thatched cottage, into
which the money was dropped through
a slit in the roof, which only infinite
patience could hit again when it came
to wriggling the money out. AS a lock-
up investment that cottage was un-
equaled.-Glasgow Herald.

Work IN the boat building and re-
pairing line is not very brisk at the
present time, but there are indica-
tons that it will pick up within the
next few months. There are times
late in the summe season when this
class of work becomes slack, but in
past years 1t has increased just be-
fore winter. There are always a
number of vessels. both large and
small, that require repairs of some
kind before the winter sets in. Then,
too, there is generally a demand for
new pleasure craft about that time.
Charles Kleimandt, who conducts
a boat building establishment at the
foot of Madison avenue, has work
under way on a fourteen-foot boat
for Mrs. S. B. Greacer's yacht Che
rub and has the keel laid for a six
teen-foot yawl to be attached to a
schooner in charge of Captain Henry
Mccain. He is bidding on other
work and has prospects of entering
his customary winter rush in a
month or so.
Vessels under repair at the Rari-
tan dry docks are as follows: A
two-masted sloop on dock No. /; a
scow of the Curtis Blaidsdell Com
pany on dock No. 2; scows II. B.
Baldwin and G. Stoddard, on dock
No. 3; SEQ John Wilson, Sr., of
New York; COW T. Walter Taylor,

working on two new scows.
At the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company's yards, a large force Of

float and on the framework of a new
scow, for which the keel vas laid
yesterday. The following vessels are
among those under repair at these
yards: Four-master schooner Gov

DIATOMlTE.
.infusoriaI Earth Formed by Bodies Of
Minute Shsitfish.


Diatoms are tiny creatures that null
tiply very rapidly until they form a
scum upon the surface Of the water in
many parts Of the world. They are
rarely more than one-hundredth part
Of an inch In diameter and often on
siderably less. Their shells are COM
posed of silica, and these shells are
well known to the microscopic on ac-
count of their great beauty.
When the little creatures die the
shells sink to the bottom of the stream
or pond, where they form a kind Of
siliceous mud, and there are vast de
posits of this material In various parts
of the earth. This infusorial earth, as
1t is called, has been christened d.
atomite, and it is being used for a
variety Of purposes under the name
kieselguhr. 1t is employed as a We
and the resultant paste is dynamite.
Diatomite is an excellent nonconductor
of heat, and in this capacity 1t is used
for filling the hollow interiors of the
walls of safes, as a lining for stoves
and furnaces and as a covering for
steam pipes and boilers. For such pur-
poses as these it has an advantage
over asbestos in the matter of price
and also Of weight.
1t can be made into bricks or slabs
by the addition of a small quantity Of
lime or clay, and these bricks car be
raised to a white heat without show
ing dny signs of fusion.
Diatomite occurs In great quantities
in the United States, in Prussia, in
parts of Scotland, In Canada and to
a lesser degree In Western Australia
and New Zealand.-Harper's Weekly.

speoial to The EYENrNa NEWS.

N0 ~
South Amboy, Sept. g2:-Philip
Purcell, of Augusta street and Pine
avenue, a conductor on a Pennsylvania
railroad freight train running between
New York and Long Branch, met with
a serious accident early this morning
while returning home from Jersey City.
He had taken his train through to Jer-
sey City last night and was returning
to South Amboy on the early morning
paper train. Upon reaching this city
he attempted to alight from the train
before 1t stopped at the station.
At Henry street excavation has been
made for the sewer. A trench has been
dug close to the track. Mr.. Purcell
was not aware of this and as he jumped
from the train he fell into the hole. He
was thrown against the steps of the car
and was severely cut and bruised. DR..
Meachem was summoned. 1t may be
that his arm is broken. He has a severe
cut across his back, 1t is expected that
he will recover.
