best vocal and instrumental talent when seat
ed In their own homes This would. OF course
prove an especial boon In the of subur
banites and residents of the rural districts
where the of the telephone has increased
SO tremendously in recent years. In the ex-
periments with multpex telephony the graph
ophone music WAS employed to still further
demonstrate the possibility of using single
wire for the transmission of various messages
simultaneously, each Independent OF the others.
For instance. on one occasion Caruso by
means of a "talker.' sang on the line while
The Charge of the light Brigade" (as re-
cited into separate transmitter close at hand)
was carried over the same wire at the same
time without in any way interfering with the
famous tenor's voice.
OF Uncle Sans recent innovations in tech
nical equipment none bids fair to ultimately
work greater wonders than the lately intro
duced Pulmotor. The Pulmotor is delicate
ly adjusted machine that occupied a portable
case not much larger than the ordinary dress
suit case, and It's function is to bring back to
life persons supposed to be dead. The gov
ernment provided the first of these new mir
ache workers for the 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-saving possibilities

big task of counting noses However there is
one invention, newer than any of the others re-

automatic card-sorting machine, the function of
which is to sort mechanically the ninety odd

new sorter sorts cards at speed of from 300 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
postoffice department has lately fostered its
share OF new inventions aside from the stamp
vending machines with which it has long been
experimenting. The late novelties include an

the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized
surface.
This new magnet worlds record breaker
in size as well as in power was constructed
specially for the United States government by
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 foreiem
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time. each inventor

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 as 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 of the enormous heat which is devel.
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
is yet newer invention-the product of gov

things. 1t is known as vacuum gauge and Il

stances. than they are being carried on by any
private corporation. 1t 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 a 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-
paratus of one kind or another that rank as
commercial products and such may be
bought in the open market But a large share
of what has been accomplished these past few
years has been due to new inventions evolved
by government officials. And 1t is pleasing to
note that there is 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 counterbalance the
1solated INSTANCES we nave 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 multiplex telephony.
Some OF the most spectacular OF Uncle Sans
current scientific triumphs are 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-
