MAGNETMAHVELS
Modern Giants That Raise Tons
of Metal at a Time.
LIFT BILLETS HOT OR COLD.
A Single One of These Monsters With
Invisible Magic Fingers Will Do the
Work of Half a Hundred Men—The
Magnet In Medicine and In Surgery.
Those who have watched a toy mag
net lift up pins and needles and mar
veled not a little at the unseen power
that causes the bits of metal to Jump
might well be excused for standing
aghast at the sight of a modern giant
magnet picking up several tons of iron
and steel from the scrap heap and con
veying it with ease and rapidity to
the melting furnace beyond.
So greut has been the commercial de
velopment of the magnet that it can
lift tive and a half tons. These giant
magnets used in iron and steel mills
can pick up hot ns well as cold billets,
and a single one of this character will
displace half a hundred workmen.
A further improvement may be not
ed In the combination of skull cracker
and magnet. The skull cracker is a
huge pear shaped ball of iron suspend
ed by a chain to a hook and steel
ropes. This skull cracker is dropped
with great force on scrap metal to be
broken up for remelting. It breaks the
metal into conveniently small pieces
and Is lifted up and down by the mag
net until the scrap is reduced to prop
er size. Then the invisible fingers of
the magnet gather up the small pieces
and carry them to the melting furnace.
The entire operation is acce: iplished
in one-hundredth of the time formerly
required by manual labor.
More recently magnets have been
employed In the milling industry to
pick out small particles of metnl that
frequently get into flour and cause ex
plosions through friction when they
come in contact with the big rollers.
Not a particle of metal can escape the
powerful magnets suspended over the
chute through which the grain passes.
In mining and metallurgical work
the magnet has become an indispensa
ble 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 in
finitesimal parts of metal released from
their beds and convey them to the
smelting furnuce. Quantities of ore
can thus be saved from old tailings
that were formerly considered pure
waste.
Recently commercial magnets were
employed for the novel purpose of rais
ing sunken treasures. A big cargo of
nails was lost In twenty fathoms of
water, and the loss seemed irreparable
until some enterprising genius raised
them easily and cheaply by means of
a magnet suspended from n derrick by
steel cables.
In the most Improved commercial
magnets hollow steel castings ure used,
in which magnetized coils are placed.
The latter are built up of alternate
layers of copper and asbestos and In
sulated from the cast steel frames by
thick sheets of mien. A magnet of
this construction is proof against heat
and cold and free from the danger of
short circuiting. There Is nothing com
bustible use 1 in its manufacture, and
it can gather t:,> a ton of hot scraps
of steel with comparative ease.
But the invisible lingers of the mag
net can pick up the most delicate
splinter of steel no larger than a sew
ing needle as easily as it lifts a huge
iron or steel l-eaui weighing a ton or
two. The small magnets have there
fore found as great a field of useful
uess us the big ones. In all trades
they are employed for handling pieces
of metal too small for fingers to pick
up easily.
In a medical way they are used suc
cessfully for extracting iron or steel
cindi.s from the eye and also for
drav l;:r cut of the body needles and
pie; i . i efnl thvt I rrp found lodg
me:.. .u...s_;or who had
inadvertently swallowed a dozen nee
dles was operated upon in this way
witli entire success. For several days
she was placed under a powerful mag
net until every needle had been drawn
from her body.
In a therapeutic way magnets have
proved of value in destroying ulcerous
and cancerous growths, nnd even
blood diseases of some kinds have
yielded to their curative effects. A
man with the point of a dagger broken
off in his body had it removed by a
magnet. Another patient had been
suffering from a painful ulcer on the
chin for many years without finding
lelief. He was finally cured by treat
ment with a magnet, which drew from
his chin a lot of steel filings that had
caused all the trouble. The filings had
found lodgment in a cut in his face
one day when working before a turn
ing lathe. No immediate trouble had
followed, and the man had forgotten
the incident until the magnet drew
them out and gave the ulcer a chance
to heal.—George E. Walsh in Chicago
Record-Herald.
A Pertinent Question.
There are great men who cannot
spell, and small people who object to
them. “Spell ‘cat,’ ” said the teacher
to the boy at the tail end of the class.
“K-a-t," replied the boy. “Silly,” re
plied the teacher. “Can’t you spell
cat?” “Well.” replied the sensible
boy, “what does k-a-t spell?”—London
Chronicle.
Idleness is only the refuge of weak
minds and the holiday of fools.—Ches
terfield.

Falconry.
In medieval times falconry was ex
ceedingly popular. To be seen with a
hawk upon the wrist was the seal of a
gentleman, and his rank was ulso
known by the species of hawk he was
using—for a king the ger-falcon, for a
prince the falcon-gentle, for a duke the
falcon of the rock, the peregrine fal
con for an earl, for a lady the merlin,
the nobby for a young man, the gos
hawk for the yeoman and for the serv
ing uutu the kestrel.
Had to Swallow Many Things.
An amusing anecdote is related Of
the late Hungarian statesman Tisza,
who when one day dining at the Hof
burg with the Austrian emperor placed
a large pear upon his plate at dessert.
The emperor remarked to his minis
ter that cold fruit after a hot dinner
was injurious to the digestion.
Tisza replied, “The stomach of a
Hungarian premier, your majesty, is
sbliged to be a strong one.”
Changed Plans.
A Chicago banker was dictating a
letter to his stenographer.
“Tell Mr. So-and-so,” be ordered,
"that I will meet him in Schenectady.”
“How do you spell Schenectady?”
asked the stenographer.
“S-c, S-c—er—er—er— Tell him I'll
meet him in Albany.”—Chicago Post.
Architecturally Speaking.
“I am the architect of my own for
tune,” said Mr. Dustin Stax.
“Well,” replied Mr. Holden Howes,
“by beiug your own architect you're
liable to get some curious effects, but
you do save a lot of money on plans
and specifications.”—Washington Star.
The Pity of It.
“Do you believe necessity Is the
mother of invention?”
“Yes, and she is also closely related
