Orlando, the County Seat of Orange
County, Florida, has population of more

Orange County may truthfully be called
the real banner county of the State.
In the production of oranges, grape fruit,

the production of trucking crops such as
celery, lettuce, cabbage, onions, Irish po-

THE MAGIC OF MAGNETS
BY GEORGE E. WALSH

loss seemed irreparable until some enterpris-
ing genius raised them easily and cheaply
by means of magnet suspended from der
rick by steel cables. -
In the most improved commercial mag
nets hollow steel castings are used, in which
magnetized coils are placed. The latter are
built up of alternate layers of copper and
asbestos, and insulated from the cast steel
frames by: thick sheets of mica. A magnet
of this construction is proof against heat and
cold, and free from the danger of short cir
cutting. There is nothing combustible used
in its manufacture, and it can gather up ton
of hot scraps of steel with comparative ease.
But the invisible fingers of the magnet can
pick up the most delicate splinter of steel no
larger than sewing needle as easily as it
lifts huge iron or steel beam weighing
ton or two. The small magnets have there
fore found as great field of usefulness as the
big ones. In all trades they are employed
for handling pieces of metal too small for
fingers to pick up easily. In medical way
they are used successfully for extracting iron
or steel cinders from the eye and also for
drawing out of the body needles and pieces
of metal that have found Judgement there.
A dressn,aker who had inadvertently swal-
lowed a dozen needles was operated upon
in this way with entire success. For several
days she was placed under powerful mag
net, until every needle had been drawn from
the body.
In therapeutic way magnets have
proved of value in destroying ulcerous and
cancerous growths, and even blood diseases
of some kinds have yielded to their curative
effects. A man with the point of dagger
broken off in his body had it removed by
magnet. Another patient had been suffer
ing from a painful ulcer on the chin for
many years without finding relief. He was
finally cured by treatment with magnet,
which drew from his chin lot of steel fill
ings that had caused all the trouble. The
filings had found lodgment in cut in his
face one day when working before turning
lathe No immediate trouble had followed,
and the man had forgotten the incident un-
til the magnet drew them out and gave the
ulcer chance to heal.

THOSE who have watched toy magnet
lift UP pins and needles, and marveled
not little at the unseen power that causes
the bits of metal to jump, might well be ex-
cused for standing aghast at the sight of a
modern giant magnet picking up several
tons of iron and steel from the scrapheap
and conveying it with ease and rapidity to
the melting furnace beyond.
So great has been the commercial develop
:ment of the magnet that it can lift five and
a half tons. These giant magnets used in
iron and steel mills can pick up hot as well
as cold billets, and single one of this char
acter will displace half a hundred workmen.
A further improvement may be noted in
the combination of skull cracker and mag
net. The skull cracker is huge pear shaped
ball of iron suspended by chain to hook
and steel ropes. This skull cracker is dropped
with great force on scrap metal to be broken
up for remelting. 1t breaks the metal into
convenient small pieces, and is lifted up and
down by the magnet until the scrap is re-
duced to proper size. Then the invisible
fingers of the magnet gather up the small
pieces and carry them to the melting furnace.
The entire operation is accomplished in one
hundredth of the time formerly required by
manual labor.
More recently magnets have been en-
ployed in the milling industry to pick out
small particles of metal that frequently get
into -four and cause explosions through fric-
ton when they come in contact with the big
rollers. Nota particle of metal can escape the
powerful magnets suspended over the chute
through which the grain passes In min
ing and metallurgical work the magnet has
become an indispensable labor saving agent.
The magnetic separation of ores has saved
thousands of dollars to mining companies.
When the rocks are crushed and pulverized,
powerful magnets gather up the infnitesimal
parts of metal released from their beds and
convey them to the smelling furnace Guam
titles of ore can thus be saved from old tail
ings that were formerly considered pure
waste. Recently commercial magnets were
employed for the novel purpose of raising
sunken treasures. A big cargo of nails was
lost in twenty fathoms of water. and the

"You fergit that down below and up hyer

@Why, last fall sold Widow Barnes ten

haulage. No more fifty-cent turkeys on Big
Rainy then!"
This was clincher; but finally Poythress
ferreted out an objection. "But we don't
raise no poultry and hawgs up hyar, more'n
what we want to eat ourselves"
@And if l should want to buy turkey,
though faint likely, DANCED if l want to pay
dollar and half fer him." objected Owain.
"And it would take a right smart of Gavin
to fat up keerload of hawgs, if I'm jedge,
added Squirrel
"You fellers talk like babies!" exclaimed
Steptoe. Il intend to raise more poultry
and hogs than l want to eat. intend to sell
turkeys, not buy 'em. And I'll be glad to
turn thirty or forty-cent Gavin into eight or
innocent pork. Soil you fellers, after

his Shrewd smile, and sat down.
