medium Of sensitive needles which seek out the

This new magnet. worlds record breaker

The circumstances connected with the design

who is at the head of the division Of polarimet-
ry at the bureau Of standards and working In

Perhaps the most unusual attribute OF this
magnet is that II 10 made available for con-
tinuous use, this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such as are
commonly used with copper tape. This cop.

stances than they are 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 attachments In time and
iabor-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 a view to dis
closing new capabilities In instruments and ap-
paratus of one kind or 9nother that rank as
commercial products and as such may be
bought 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 oficials. And IL is pleasing to
note that there IL an increasing disposition on
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 governmental position
Happily, however, such cases appear to be
growing more rare and to c0unterbalapce the
Isolated instances we have examples such a.
recently afforded by Major 6quier, assistant
chief signal od1csr of the United States army,
when he dedicated to the free uss OF the
American people the patents covering his new
system Of multiplex telephony.

The national government has been taking
the lead In scientific, mechanical and engi-
neering development to 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 a con-
tributor to the cause Of science and invention,
there being dual reasons for its activity in
such direction. On the ono hand the central
government, with paternal instinct has been
bound to contribute in every way to the we'll
being of the whole people and as is we'll
known such beneft Ia more often than not con-
ferred through the fundamentally Of scien-
tifc discoveries and inventions. Obviously
then 1t is up to Uncle Sam to foster Yankee
ingenuity by every possible means.
Yet the second incentive to federal activity
in this broad field has been even more Of a
spur than the first. It arises from the fact
that the national government is. to an extent

part of automobile owners is center,
ed in the case of A. J. Neff against

the complaint, Neff alleges that as he
was aligMing from a street car at
Eighth and Main streets on last July
4, he was struck by the automobile
driven by Mr. Moss. His injuries were
severe and because of his age were
likewise considered serious. He is a
cObbler. The trial will be before the

ADVICE TO FARMERS
Contained in Books Distrib-
uted by Penn. Ry.

Probably more elaborate than any
piece of farming literature ever issued
by a railroad is book entitled In
crease the Crop Per Acre." which the
Pennsylvania railroad company is TO
distribute throughout the territory
traversed by it's lines. The book,
which describes the use of explosives
in farming. has thirty-siX full page and
seventeen part page illustrations.
With this latest addition to its agri-
cultural literature the Pennsylvania
railroad now has on hand for distribu-
ton eleven pamphlets, including ''Po-
tato Culture" Alfalfa" Use of Lime
on Land" Seed Grain Suggestions. -
Orchard Primers-Planting. Pruning,
Spraying and Cultivation" The Penn
sylvania Railroad and the Farmer,
| and Good Roads at Low Cost"
increase the Crop Per Acre in 112
pages, tells of the many economies
which may be effected on farm by
the use of dynamite. The first chap
ter describes methods of Clearing
the Land" the next Getting the Farm
in Shape" then "Preparing the Land
for Crops" and last keeping Up the
Farm" Among the subjects treated in
the Pennsylvania dynamite" book
let are blasting stumps and boulders
telling trees, draining swamps. grad
ing roads, sinking wells and digging
post holes, blasting hard pan, and 9th
er soils, breaking up ice gorges, start
ing log jams and similar ones.
For more than three years the Penn
sylvania railroad has been active ir
agricultural extension and good roads
work. The company recently annOunc
ed that it would be unceasing in its
efforts to increase the production OF
farm crops along it's lines. In the
booklets just issued, the last chapter
The Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Farmer" describes the work it is try
ing to do In closing, the manage
ment says:
What does it mean to the railroad
1t means there will be more fertilizers
to haul, more farm implements, more
raw material from which these tools
are made, more crops to haul. ant
more passengers to carry; it means
that the railroad will be doing it's duty
to the public, to it's stockholders in the
intelligent exercise of it's initiative
and when reduced to tinality, thai
the railroad is performing it's share O.
the work which must be done by the
newly formed partnership, Railroad
and Farmer, if agricultural communi
ties are to progress and prosper"
