A Magnet Made from TwoDiscarded Cannons PROBABLY the largestand strongest magnet inI lie world is at \\iliettsPoint, X. Y. It was madeby accident. The comman-der of the post happenedto see two old fifteen-inchDahlgren lying uiuisedside by side on the dock. Heconceived of the idea of con-\erting them into a magnetof enormous power by wind-ing submarine cable aroundthem. The magnet, which stands about ten feet from the ground, is eighteen feet long, and has eight miles of cable around the upper part of the guns. It takes a force of twenty-five thousand pounds to pull off the armature. A crowbar applied to the magnet requires the combined force o{ four strong men to tear it Two 15-inch Civil War cannon convertedinto an electromagnet wliich is so power-ful that it takes a force of twenty-fivethousand pounds to pull off the armature A Washstand Light for Garages Plenty of light is needed in the garage, and soan ingenious, movable box of lights is used
