visible hand and almost more quickly than
the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized
surface
This new magnet. worlis 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 polarimet-
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 II is made available for con-
tinuous use. this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such are
commonly used with copper tape. This cop
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 on the enormous heat which is devel.
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
is yet newer invention-the product of gov
eminent scientists-which promises great
things. II is known vacuum gauge and 1t
will enable more minute and more accurate
measurement than has heretofore been posi-
BILE in the case of a vacuum.
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 method
of transmitting number of telephone mes
sages simultaneously over the same wire is ex-
pected to greatly reduce the cost OF long dis
lance telephone conversation. In connection
with the development Of this new form OF tel
ephony which will make one wire do the work
of ten, Major Squier and his associates have
carried on some experiments which, though
originally intended only as a means to an end.
now promise to have a distinct value OF their
own in disclosing the possibilities OF transmit

DOCTOR PREscRIBEs
cUTlCURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of couple
Of recent cures which / have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. It started with
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. I recommended all
the various treatments / could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions. but nothing seemed
to help him.
''In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken. break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first APP
piled the warm beths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw decided improve
ment and in few days she was COM
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. --,
and this was two months ago. i told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the CUT
cura Ointment generously Believe
me. from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

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 a con-
tributor to the cause Of science and invention,
there being dual reasons for its activity in
such direction. On the one 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 well
known such benefit IL more often than not con-
ferred through the fundamentally of scien-
tific discoveries and inventions. Obviously
then II 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
