Magnetic Hands for
Crippled Soldiers

German scientists are giving al

ciai arms, equipped with electro
magnetic SEEKING and holding mech
anism. according to the May Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The underly-
ing idea is simply this:
The sleeve enclosing the stump of
the arm Is provided at it's outer end
With a pot-shaped or bell-shaped
magnet. which can be adjusted or
held in a belLend socket, so as to
bring the retaining face OF the mag.
net TO any position desired. The
magnet may then be either clamped
tight or else left movable against
slight resistance The pot-magnet Is
connected with a current supply by
means OF screw-plug. Connection
Is made by moving some other part
OF the body. for example the foot,
the chin, the remaining arm, the
damaged arm itself, or even the
whole body.
The pot-magnet makes II possible
not only TO grasp all iron objects,
but also to hold them tight or to
lift them and move them for any
length OF time. During these ma.
nipulations the connection between
the stump and the object (tool Is
not rigid. but a movable one. For
this reason the magnetic hand may
be used by all workmen who work
with iron tools or iron articles. AS
rule. the tool need not be specially
altered or given a special shape for
the mutilated man, since the mag.
netic hand Is capable OF graspins
the tool at any place. provided II lie
made OF iron.

Shakespeare and 800 Years.
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Three hundred years after his death
William Shakespeare is still acknowledge
ed foremost dramatist of the world.
Think of that while, long enough to
let the fact permeate all the departments
of your brain.
How many human beings ever trod this
substellar globe who did anything that
lasted three hundred years?
How many have been even remembered
for three hundred years.
And of names three hundred years old
how many of them stand for something
that is now really vital disable, and used?
|Charlemagne, Alexander. Croesus, Xerxes
and Nebuchadnezzar are mere signatures,
|sculptured on the walls of history; they
meant something once, they mean moth.
ing now.
Actors are now playing Shakespeare.
Audiences are beholding. The other
night | saw a packed theaterful of peo-
pie who laughed and wept and thrilled
over BeerbOhm Trees presentation of
Henry VII"
And some weeks ago there was a re-
vival of play of modern author that
enjoyed a tremendous vogue twenty
years ago, but it left us cold. it's senti-
ments and situations were moth-eaten.
1t did not succeed.
But they are giving Hamlet" yet, and
will be giving Hamlet" doubtless three
hundred years from now.
Time is the one critic from whom
there is no appeal. There is no use ar
guing with nor differing from the verdict
of three hundred years.
This is supposed to be free country
and every man has right to his opinion.
But there are exceptions. When three
hundred years speak no intelligent per-
son has a right to dissent.
Rail on. friend radical, and storm on,
friend iconclast; knock down all our mon
Iuments, upset all orthodoxies and ques-
ton ali our morals; but spare your de-
structive energies when you come to
shakespeare.
He is the anomaly of time, old as
mountain, and az solid. evergreen as the
pines on its slopes, fresh as this springs
flowers at its feet.
There is something uncanny in his UNI
dying virility, his everlasting timeliness.
Why?
Because he uttered the English race.
and the English race is the twentieth CEN
ltury's vehicle of expression.
Because he was far and away the 81.
preme craftsman of words. He could
handle those fiery particles as no other
man living or dead.
Because he was universal, he spoke Tor
all humanity. In him parade the digni-
ties of kings. in him roars the coarse
laughter of the vulgar, in him lovers
speak with infinite tenderness. ga age
philosophers, villains rage, saints aspire.
clowns antic, poets dream,-he is the
miracle of human self-expression.
All this talk Of his plagiarism. OF his
being but the mask Of my Lord Veru-
lam. of his lowly life and of the common
ness of station, is but the back-stalrs
whispering of servants at a kings court.
Three hundred years have buried myr-
lads in oblivion, but no. him.
Three hundred years have Dashed
their waves against his front, but Tea.
lures of his magnificent mind stand out
ever clearer. -,y.
After three hundred years the worlds
heart turns to him and finds him still
youth.

about by the note of this government to
Germany; no denying the fact that we
are face to face with diplomatic break
with the central powers-a break with
Germany will mean a break with Austria
Hungary.
| This diplomatic break. while not mean
| ing war, necessarily. WILL mean that
our chances for escaping war will not be
as bright as they were.
The satisfaction with which the note
is viewed by the newspapers of France
and England shows that their interpreta-
ton is that it means the entrance OF
the United States into the war. Some
of them say as much.
While there is not foundation for any
such immediate conclusion in that quar-
ter, their Interpretation warns us just
how carefully We must proceed lest the
note have that effect
Germany has yet TO reply to the note
Her reply can be that she will respect
this governments demands and cease
the submarine campaign against the
class of vessels specified.
This attitude on the part of Germany
is, of course, to be hoped for.
But there are other possibilities by
way of reply which would have the
effect of introducing the important
element of time, sufficient amount of
which would give both sides chance
to do some sound, sober thinking, and
prevent at least the doing hastily Of
that which might later be regretted.
Germany for one thing might ask for
more proof that it was one of her SUBJ
marines which sank the Sussex.
There is evidence that it was a Ger
man submarine, but it is all circumstan-
tial, and Germany may insist upon a
right to attack this evidence
Germany may take the position that
the evidence was planted.
Pending Germany's final answer, let
every citizen think as he pleases and as
radically as he pleases, according to his
own temperament. but let him by all
means, speak sanely.
We do not want war, which hot-heads,
mostly, bring about, stepping aside
however, in favor of somebody else when
the time comes for fighting.
We do not look for war, with Germany
or any other nation.
We do not believe that in a country
of educational facilities such as ours and
boasting the highest standard of civil
zation, such as we do, our entrance into
a war is possible.
We do not believe the munition
makers can put it over. a
