Educational Facilities.

The educational facilities of the
state are among the best. In the
school of mines one of the finest OPP
portunities in the world is offered to
obtain an education which car be
utilized in this state for immediate
research and profit.
The turn of the tide has come to
Nevada, says a close student of af-
fairs. The new era is founded upon
agriculture, coupled with extensIvs
mining interests that have been in
the process of development since the
bonanza days. The wonderful min
ing developments unite in point OF
time with the cultivation of great
arabic tracts and every branch of in
.dustry and achievement is feeling
the pulse of new life. Soon large
areas of wild land will be converted
into orchards of fine fruits and into
farms for the cultivation of pota-
toes. cereals, alfalfa and the raising
of live stock, and will be the homes
of thousands of prosperous and en-
terprising citizens.
With a climate famous for its sun
shine, with rivers capable of furnish
ing unlimited power. a soil rich in
.phosphates, mountains seemed with
veins of ore. valleys whose richness
arrests the attention of even the most
casual obseryer-here is room for a
vast population.

Divorce Law Problem.
Politics in Nevada have taken a
turn about into Republicanism. Much
interest centers in the action of the
coming legislative session when
several matters of great concern to
the state are to be thressled out.
CONSPICUOUS among these is TO be

is to be a vigorous fight to repeal or

respects. For one thing the music as heard

chantcal which talking machine inventors have
never been able to entirely eliminate. 1t is
believed that this disclosure of the possibili-
ties of transmitting music by phone will ulti-
mately enable people to enjoy concerts by the
best vocal and instrumental talent when seat
ed in their own homes. This would, of course,
prove especial boon in the of subur-
banites and residents of the rural districts
where the use of the telephone has increased
so tremendously in recent years. In the ex-
periments with multiplex telephony the graph

demonstrate the possibility of using single
wire for the transmission of various messages
simultaneously, each Independent of the others.
For instance, one occasion Caruso, by
means of 'talker,'' sang on the line while
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" (as
cited into separate transmtter close at hand)
was carried over the same wire at the
time without in any way interfering with the

duced Pulmotor. The Pulmotor is delicate
ly adjusted machine that occupied a portable
case not much larger than the ordinary dress
suit case and its function is to bring back to
life persons supposed TO be dead. The gov
ernment provided the first of these new mir
acle workers for the use of the newly estab-
lished United States bureau of mines in its
work of rescuing men overcome by the poison

invention is opening up life-savng possibilities
in other fields, as. for instance. at bathing

case where death is threatened through the
filling of the lungs with gas or water.
The Pulmotor Is, in effect, automatic

vented by the mechanical experts of the United
States census bureau TO aid Uncle Sam in the
big task of counting noses. However, there is
one invention. newer than any of the others re-
garding which little has been said. This is the
automatic cardsortng machine. the function of
which is TO sort mechanically the ninety odd
million cards representing the people of the
United States-for, under our present system of
card-indexing the country the census office has
on file a bit of pasteboard to represent every
man, woman and child in the republic. The
sorter sorts cards at speed of from 800 to
325 per minute. sorting the cards into thirteen
different drawers. The machine is operated by
electricity and the sorting is done through the
medium of sensitive needles which seek out the
holes which have previously been punched in
each card to record biographical facts and dis
tribute the cards according to the location of
these holes.
Uncle Sans greatest business institution the
postoffce department has lately fostered Its
share of new inventions aside from the stamp
vending machines with which 1t has long been
experjmenting The late novelties include
electric canceng machine for canceng the
stamps on letters and postmarking the envel-
opes: trolley system for handling mail in city
postofrces and belt conveyor system for the
same purpose. Two clerks in the postofce de-
partment lately invented a machine that cuts
down work 30 per cent. in the money order
branch of our postal Headquarters, through its
faculty in automatically printing the money or
der fees as the amounts of the paid money
ders are recorded for auditing purposes. And
finally, the department is on the eve of per
fecting a remarkable new machine for the use
of every postmaster throughout the country who
conducts a branch of the new postal savings

appreciated by comparatively few of our citi-
zens. an operator of scientific laboratories,
manufacturer and a business corporation. Now
with Uncle Sam in the actual conduct Of arts
and industries on a greater scale. in some in
stances, than they being carried on by any
private corporation, it has become imperative
from the hard practical business standpoint
that the government shall have the benefit Of
the highest possible attainments in time and
labor-saving equipment.
In the effort to keep abreast of or little
ahead of the worlds march of progress, the
federal establishment has continually carried
on tests and experiment with view to dis
closing new capabilities In instruments and ap-
0hratus of one kind or another that rank as
commercial products and such may be
Wught in the open market. But large share
OF what has been accomplished these past few
years has been due to new inventions evolved
by government officials. And it is pleasing to
note that there is an increasing disposition
part of the men on Uncle Sans payroll to
regard as federal property the inventions from
which they might otherwise reap fortune.
There have. from time to time, been charges
and rumors putting In question the ethics and
honesty Of men who derived private wealth
from inventions alleged to have been worked
out in government time and with the aid OF
facilities offered by a governmental position.
Happily, however. such cases appear to be
growing more rare and to counterbalance the
isolated instances we have examples such as
recently afforded by Major Squier, assistant
chief signal officer of the United States army.
when he dedicated to the free use of the
American people the patents covering his new
system of multipex telephony.
Some OF the most spectacular of Uncle Sans
current scientific triumphs being worked
out by the aid of the most powerful magnet In
the world, which has recently been installed at
a cost Of 81, 200 at the United States bureau OF
standards. This magnet Is In effect an en-
larged edition OF the familiar toy from which
small boys derive 80 much enjoyment and II
may be whispered that the government scien-
lists are getting proportionate amount of ex-
citement from the almost miraculous powers
of this largest of all magnets. Primarily the

visible hand and almost more quickly than
the eye follow the operation. these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetzed
surface.
This magnet, worlds record breaker
In size as well In power. was constructed
specially for the United States government by
a firm Of instrument makers In Switzerland.
The circumstances connected with the design
ing of the magnet illustrate how great minds
may run in the same direction. Mr.. Frederick
Bates, the United States government expert
who is at the head of the division of poarimet-
ry at the bureau of standards and working in
conjunction with other government scientists,
Just worked out the detailed plans for such
magnet when he discovered that the foreign
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time each inventor
unconscious OF the activities of his rival on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the most unusual attribute Of this
magnet Is that 1t is made available for con-
tinuous use, this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such
commonly used with copper tape. This con
per tape is surrounded by insulating oil.
Through this oil there are run coils of copper
tubing about onehalf inch in diameter and
through this tubing cold water Is circulated to
carry of the enormous heat which Is devel.
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
is yet newer invention-the product of gov
ernment scentists-whch promises great
things. 1t Is known as vacuum gauge and it
will enable more minute and more accurate
measurement than has heretofore been posi-

One OF the most. notable of Uncle Sans
scientific triumphs of the present year is the
new system of multiplex telephony mentioned
above and which by its disclosure OF a method

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrccts constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned. caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If

of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining OF the stomach,
setting up serious forms OF indigestion.
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are n tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

have been done heretofore. but of doing them
more easily. more quickly. more economically
or more effectively than has heretofore been
deemed possible
The national government has been taking
the lead in scientific, mechanical and engi-
neering development to a constantly increas-
ing extent in late years. For, of course. the
reader will understand that in speaking of
Uncle Sans current triumphs in the field Of
Invention and experiment, reference Is made
not to the federal government as represented
by its own experts and employees Now the
national government has always been
tributor to the cause of science and invention.

such direction. On the one hand the central
government, with paternal instinct. has been
bound to contribute In every way to the we'll

ferred through the instrumentality of scien

then it is up to Uncle Sam to foster Yankee

Yet the second incentive to federal activity
in this broad field has been even more Of
spur than the first. 1t arises from the fact
that the national government is. to extent

and the mechanical lungs of the machine. 1t is
said of this new invention that 1t will make
a corpse breathe" meaning that it will compel
the diaphragm to move In a body In which life
is wholly extinct. The new device costs $780,
making 1t one of the worlds most expensive
pieces of rescue equipment, as 1T is certainly
one of the most effective. Comparatively little
experience is required for its successful opera
ton.
Government officials have within the past few
months invented several new machines for
quickening and cheapenng the manufacture OF
paper money and postage stamps and whereas
these inventions may not find very extensive
adoption outside the government workshops,
they will exert an important influence there.
Among these new inventions is remarkable
combination machine which at one operation
stamps the successive serial number on each
bank note. mpresses in color the official seal,
cuts the sheets of money into individual notes
and counts the bls-tasks that formerly re-
quired as many different machines and an i'm

tion is machine which automatically trims at
