Inc uOlludy S6dSOH Is HOW Will us,
and the interval OF rest affords readers
OF the Register an opportunity to give
deserved attention to our coupon con-
test having for prizes ten free schol-
arships in the Scranton, Pa, Cores
pondence Schools, with free text books
and instruments added.
One Of the leading courses to be Sc
ing, OF particular value in this manu-
featuring community, and in response
to a number of enquiries we below
present in concise form an outline of
what this scholarship means. 1t is
best shown 10y the description of the
free textbooks given by the Register
with this prize.
and question papers on Arithmetic,
Algebra, Lograithms, Geometry and
Trigonometry, Elementary Mechanics,
Hydromechanics, Pneumatics, and
Heat. These comprise all the mathe-
MATES required for the successful
completion Of all the subjects in the
course, and the solution OF problems
that arise in practice. Elementary
mechanics is a valuable treatise, fully
illustrated, on the properties Of mat
ter, laws of motion, composition and
resolution of forces, and the calcula-
tons relating to levers and other SIM
pie machine elements Hydromechanics
treats on water pressure specific grav-
ity and the calculations relating to the
flow of water in pipes. Pneumatics
discusses the properties of air and
gases and the operation of pumps,
compressors, and other pneumatic
machines. Heat treats on the meas
ent heat, expansion, the production OF
mechanical work by heat, and the
theory of heat engines.
Volume II includes the instruction
and question papers on Steam and
Steam Engines Strength and Mater
ials, Applied Mechanics and Steam
Boilers, Steam and Steam Engines
treats on the properties of steam and
use Of steam tables, use Of the indica-
tol diagrams, calculation of horsopow-
er, principles Of c~ondensers, simple,
compound and ~condensing engines
and the relative advantages of differ
ent types. Steam Boilers discusses
the construction and care OF the lead,
ing types OF boilers, economical use of
fuels, the strength OF boilers. horse
power of boilers, boiler attachments,
boiler tests and inspection. Strength
o. Materials fully treats methods OF
calculating the strength of shafts,
ropes, chains, and beams, and includes
many formulas of great practical val
ue. Applied Mechanics discusses the
construction of the principal types of
-mechanisms; such as engine lathe
trains, quick return motions, valve
gears, link motions, governors, tn
theory of gearteeth and the measure
ment of power. This paper will prove
o. great practical value to the ma
chinist, craftsman, OF designer.
Volume III includes the instruction
and question papers on Machine De-
sign. and Dynamos and Motors. The
three papers on machine design are
copiously illustrated with drawings of
machine details, accompanied by for
mulas for calculating the principal di-
mansions. All Of these designs can
be applied in actual practice. The
third paper takes up the design of en-
tire steam engines and details. To the
craftsman or machine designer these
papers will prove some of the most
valuable in the course DynamOs and
motors treats on the principles and
properties of electricity and magnetism
as applied to the construction and op-
SAdClOu u C|CIIluuOuS dHu dILcI HdLlHS-
current dynamos and motors. This in
struction is included in the curse on
account of the necessity to the mod
ern designer, machinist, or superin-
tendent.
Volume " includes the instruction
papers on Geometrical and Mechanical
drawing. Volume V contains all the
tables and formulas that are given in
the first three volumes. here collected
in one thin book for quick reference
in the shop or drafting room. The
value OF this volume is apparent. Vol
m vi includes the answers to ques-
tons. This is a key to all the ques-
ton papers. 1t is illustrated wherever
necessary, and when used judiciously
will save the industrious student much
valuable time and patience.
All who desire to qualify as me-
chanical engineers have an unriYaled
opportunity in this voting contest to
secure a thoroughly practical educa-
ton in mechanical engineering free OF
all cost whatever. The course is sup
Elementary to all that you may have
learned in school and equips You ready
