magnet. A grown-up workman climb
ed up the chain without disturbing its
rigidity. The chain seemed to float In
air. The magnetic pull on the ball was
greater than the gravitational pull on
the man.
This remarkable experiment shows
the enormous power Of attraction ex-
erted on industrial lifting magnets as
used on an ever-increasing scale In
iron and steel works for the transport
of iron materials of every description.
In no other field Of metallurgy are the
economical advantages Of transport by
electricity so conspicuous as in con-
nection with the use Of lifting magnets,
which enable the operator to seize the
iron material at any point desired, con-
veying 1t to any other point within the
range controlled by the crane. Incl
dentally, it should be noted that the
use of lifting magnets eliminates much
of the risk Of accidents formerly con-
nected with manual transport and the
use of hand operated cranes.
Cranes with lifting magnets are, of
course, used on large scale also In
connection with the loading and un-
loading of railway wagons with all
sorts of iron material.

nearer at hand, but he insisted upon
that particular restaurant, so we went
there. 1t was nice place, very clean,
and the cooking good. The only pecu-

Yes said my friend, they are Gu

where they try to come here, because
this restaurant has the reputation of

RICH IN IRON ORE BEDS
Americas Deposits Make It Leader in
Iron Production.

iron FToouCt'oUs
A year or so after the late William
H. Barnum retired from active politics
he occupied himself in a study Of the
iron ore resources Of that part Of the
United States with which he was ia
miliar, says a New York letter. Sena-
tor Barnum possessed great furnaces
in the northwest corner Of Connecticut.
He was familiar with the iron ore re-
sources of the upper Harlem valley and
also Of north western Connecticut and
the adjacent country. HIS investiga-
ton justified him in saying that he be-
lieved that the iron mines of upper
New York and the upper Harlem val
ley were practically inexhaustible. He
meant to convey the idea that at the
rate Of increase in American iron ore
production it would be many years
before these mines would be exhaust
ed.
The governmental agitation to pre-
vent monopolistic control of the iron
ore of the United States has been Of
great educational benefit. 1t has served
to teach the people what the magni-
tude of the iron ore deposit of the
United States really Is. A government
commission recently reported that in
New York state alone there probably
lie beneath the surface iron mines Of
almost inconceivably great extent and
richpess Some of them would reuuire
a great deal of surface excavation to
reach. These are in the central part
Of the state The Adirondack ores,
which can be conveniently shipped by
means Of Lake Champlain, are Of such
magnitude that it has sometimes been
said that, notwithstanding the long
continued working of these mines, new
ertheless they have not begun to yield
tithe of their crude wealth.
Among the other very great devel-
opments in the south Of the natural
resources that of the exploitation Of a
richness in iron is among the greatest.
The experts and the governmental au-
thorities are inclined to the opinion
that, even If there were exhaustion Of
the mines in the northern part of the
United States, within the next 25 or
80 years, the iron ore resources Of the
south and capable Of such utilization as
will enable these mines to make good
what is lost in the north.
Nearly thirty years ago the late

Abram s. Hewitt ventured to predict
to a great group of iron and steel
manufacturers of Great Britain that
the United States was bound within q
generations time to leap ahead of
Great Britain in iron and steel produc-
tion, and would be enabled to do that
because of the almost exhaustless
amount Of iron ore. both of high grade
and of low quality, which lay beneath
the soil of the United States. Conve-
nience Of transportation, neighboring
mines Of limestone and other ingredi-
ents used in iron and steel produc-
ton, together with the rapidly in
creasing domestic demand for iron and
steel products, would make 1t inevi-
table that the United States would
achieve pre-eminent position among
the nations Of the world as produc-
er of iron and steel in quantities and
a miner Of iron ore. Recent statistics
prove Mr.. Hewitt to have been an ac-
curate prophet. ...
In 1909 nearly $75. 100000 represented
the cost Of operation and development
Of American iron mines, and about
$40, 100000 represented payment Of sal
aries and wages. The miners and the
wage earners in that year produced
nearly 100000 tons Of crude iron
ore. ,r
We get some idea of the magnitude
Of this branch of American industry
from the recent report of the bureau OF
statistics of the American iron and
steel institute. America, in the fiscal
year which ended on June 30, produced
little over 100000 tons of pig iron
This, too, in a year which many per-
sons have spoken Of as one of business
depression and business anxieties
Moreover it was in year in the last
six months of which 1t was certain
that there would be a new tariff law
containing the schedules which radi-
cally reduce the rates from those fixed
by the present tariff law.

History In Stamps.

Every one who has collected stamps
must have noticed the surprising alb
sence Of sovereign's heads from those
Of Turkey. That this is so is due to
the fact that Mohammedans consider
q representation of the human face or
figure unlawful. Therefore Turkish
stamps carry the crescent, which the
Turks borrowed from the Byzantines
after the fall of Constantinople. They
also used a complicated, arbitrary
sign, supposed to be the signature of
the sultan.
Egyptian and Grecian stamps are
peculiarly expressive Of the history Of
the countries which they represent.
The pyramids, the mystic Sphinx, tall
palm trees outlined against the night
sky, train Of camels stopping to
drink from the river Nile, all carry us
back to the very beginning Of history
and remind us that Egypt, the mother
Of civilization, is still called by her
ancient name and Is yet growing
power in the world she has known so
long.
Beautiful. artistic Greece, the home
of beauty, from which our sculptors
and architects draw their finest inspi-
rations, gives us pure classic lines on
her stamps, which show the famous
discus thrower, Hermes Of the winged
feet, or a chariot race, or a tall, slim
vase, an antique mold.
The stamps of Persia show the lion
and the sun-the lion as a symbol Of
power and the sun as an emblem of
the ancient fire worship of the Per-
slams.
Korea displays the plum blossom on
her stamps. 1t is the royal flower Of
her last dynasty, a dynasty which
reigned for 500 years. until the hardy
little Japanese wrested it away.
The Mexican stamp bears the coat
of arms Of the country, an eagle on a
cactus, holding a serpent in its talons.
This device is the outgrowth Of a le-
gend that the first Aztec settlers chose
the site Of their city from seeing an
eagle so engaged, and situated at that
spot-New York Evening Post.

don't understand, never say 'Huh?' to
me. Say Beg pardon That's ever SO
much nicer. Now, don't forget,
Katie"
About a week later he found her
swinging on the gate. Anxious to
test her memory. he asked: well.
Katie, what is it you're to say to Mr.
Cable instead Of 'Huh?'"
Katie's eyes sparkled as she quickly
answered, "Bakin' powdah."

Ancient Lords Often Stood In Fear oi
the Rising Middle Glasses.

Ancient Lords Often Stood In Fear o,
the Rising Middle Glasses.
The ancient lords Of England used tc
worry lest the common people should
wax fat and kick. In Queen Eliza
beth's reign a nobleman wrote to Cecil
secretary of state, to complain Of the
growing independence of the common
people. He said:
"The wealth OF the meaner sort is the
very summit of rebellion. 1t must be
cured. 1t must be cured by providing
as It were, Of some sewers or channels
to draw or suck from them their money
by subtle and indirect means, to bt
handled insensibly."
The shade of that worried aristocrat
knows by this time that the thing ne
wished can be and is done. To this
day, to the vast majority Of US, the
possession Of wealth is but prelude
to its waste. Before long we find the
aIehouses of England in the hands Of
England's aristocrats, who found this
an excellent way to temper the pros
perity that tempted their underlings tc
impudence. An official report writer
September 8. 1861. says:
"The alehouses, the very stock and
stay of thieves and vagabonds, were
supported by the gentlemen for the
worst Of motives. The peers had pat
ents to import and sell wines free oi
duty, and to extend the right to Others
under their name; and the tavern keep
ers were my lords servants, or my
masters servants, and had such kind o1
licenses and license out Of license tC
them and their assignees. that 1t was
some danger to meddle with them"
From long habit thus deliberately In.
culcated or for whatsoever other rea.
son men still force economic chains fol
themselves. Last year was the great
est year in American history for liquor
and tobacco consumption, two expen'
ditures which, whatever else may bt
said for them, represent an absolute
economic waste This involves 143,'

manity Is bent backed by the expense!
of war. Our annual American nquo
bill, to say nothing Of tobacco, Is fiv'
times our total expense for armaments
pensions and interest on war debts. L
we abolish war will we buy that mucf
more liquid waste?
The rate at which people plunge int
the purchase of automobiles excites ap
prehension lest the national capital b'
impaired and panics precipitated by
this diversion of money into unpro
ductive objects. But we are spending
only a billion dollars year for auto
mobiles, hardly more than a third o.
the expenditure for liquor. The auto
mobile is not wholly waste, perhaps no
over half. The liquor and tobacco ex'
pense is entirely waste, resulting In nj
