Birmingham, Alii. Those who find
It cheaper to move than to pay rent
or meet other bills, uro pretty well re
formed In thla city, or are In process
of being weeded 'out In either cane by
means of an ordinance h riveted that
offenders cannot esenpn. The ordi
nance requires tho owimr of every
transfer or other vehlWe to report
prnniiitly all moving to Hie chief of po
lice, and entries of e same are at
once made In a boo1, duly alphahetcd
and dated, and tin book Is nhvuyo
open for the Inspection of any uud
everyone who may ask to see It.
Of course one ho plans to turn
delinquent will try to conceal his Iden

tho ordinance duikers foresaw that
Impulse urt attuched penalties for
false names or misleading reports,
which Dilrly shut out that form of
trickery. Altogether the ordinance has
wnrked so well that Birmingham has
been solicited by other cities for copies
of the net and for the experiences un
)cr It which have made It a magic

In Birmingham, for it has been In

to some extent, replace the deep-sea
diver.
The "submarine electro-magnet" Is
octagonal In shape, three feet In width
between the opposite sides, two and it
half Inches In depth, weighs seven
hundredweight, and Is strong enough
to lift 1(1 tons of metal. In salvage
work three magnets will be employed
simultaneously, in order to get a good
hold on the larger t-ecttons of armor
plate.
(ilgantle searchlights will first be
turned on -the wreck, nnd after the
vessel has been blown to pieces by ex
plosives the magnets will go down to
search for anchors, chnln cables and
pieces of metal. The power will be
sulllcient to raise all fragments of
metal, even though they be encased In
wood.
The mechanical diver's possibilities
were demonstrated recently at an ex
hibition at the Albert docks. Silver,
town, attended by representatives of
the Ilrltlsh admiralty, the Port of Lon
don authority and the salvage nnd
shipbuilding companies. Into SO feet
of water were thrown several stl
girders weighing two tons, somo'gus
cylinders, castings, a section of rail
way switch and other metallic objects.
Brought Up Girders.
Swung by a crane, the magnet dlvul
and, to the amazement of the wit
nesses, came up with the steel girders
glued to Its under side. The operation
was repented until the last piece of
metal had been raised.
At one stage of tho demonstration
there was lively competition between n
human diver and the diving magnet.
The steel railway switch, owing to Its
peculiar shape, could not be located
until a diver had gone down and placed
the magna In contact with the rails.
"The magnet Is not Intended to sup
plant divers." said Mr. Neale, bead of
the Neale Magnet Construction com
pany, in charge of the development of
the invention. "It will bo of value
chielly In cases of wrecks in deep wn
tor, or silted up, where divers cannot
go.
"It will also be used for loading and
unloading cisols, discharging metallic
ores, lilting machinery and loading
stceJ sections trom rolling mills. A
run cm of 111 amperes, at a pressure
of 220 volts, bitppllcH the power."
