COE COLLEGE HAS
RAISED A MILLION

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 4.-On Thanks
giving day Coe college closed success.
fully its campaign for one million dol.
lars. 1t was quiet campaign and
lacked all of the spectacular features
which general characterize college
hunts for money. There was no whirl
wind finish with its clock or thermo.
meter registering the daily and hourly
advance of the fund. Owing to the
fact that the city is conducting cam,
paign for $165,OO0 for a Y. NJ. c. A.
building the college did not put on a
popular canvass in Cedar Rapids. In
spite Of this fact, however, $175,000
was given by trustees and citizens of
Cedar Rapids toward this fund, max
ing in all $425,O00, or nearly one-half
of the million dollars which has come
out of this city. Included in the mil
lion dollars was special fund of $780,
900 for the endowment of the chair of
bible. This was fully reached and al
ready subscription of $4,000 has been
made toward second $500 for bible
contingent on $4,000 more being Sc
cured by December, 1918. Also fund
of $4,000 for the endowment of the
chair of American history and patriot
ism was completed. This is the chair
which DR.. H. H. Maynard has been
working for and which has elected
such favorable comment from the
press and educators.
The completion of Voorhees, hall will
now be pushed rapidly for the 100000
required, gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Voor-
hees, is now in the bank and the plans
and specifications are ready to go to
the contractors. Included In the cam
paign was pledge of $4,000 for the
erection Of library. This will be
placed on the campus in the center OF
what is now the athletic field. This
means new athletic field. The pipe
organ for the Sinclair memorial chap
ell has been selected and will be in

SUBSEA MAGNET IS SUCCESS
Invention Of Japanese Scientist Lo-
Gates and Brings to Surface
Lost ProjectiIes.

Mr.. Nakahara, Japanese scientist
who had been endeavoring to build a
machine which will fish up metals
from the bottom Of the sea, especially
shells fred from warships during tar
get practice, has recently completed
his invention and 1t was given a trial
on q recent afternoon ON the Sumida
In Tokyo, East and West says. The
machine Is provided with a powerful
electro magnetic stone which is let
down to the bed of the sea, and has
an arrangement like an automatic tele-
phone receiver that gives a signal
when the stone comes in touch with
the objects searched for. The trial
was successful, the machine locating
and bringing to the surface nine and
ten-inch projectiles which had been
thrown into the river. 1t is estimated
by some naval men that something like
100000 shells lie scattered at the bot
tom of Ise and Hiroshima bays, the
japanese naval target grounds. These
shells at the present price of scrap
iron alone should be worth a matter
of $3,000,O00. A plan is now on foot
to recover them by the use of Mr..
Nakahara's machine.
II someone now should make q mag
net strong enough to draw shell scraps
from the soil, what harvest it would
have along the war fronts Of Europe.
