FARMER REGISTERS NAME

The United States patent Office re-
Gently approved and published in the
Patent ONCE Gazette a trademark COW
ering the name of the firm of an Iowa
farmer. Ledru c. Willis, the farmer
in whose name the trademark was
issued. is a breeder of pure bred hogs,
cattle md sheep. The name of the
farm as trade-marked is "Hawkeye.'
To the knowledge of livestock men in
the United States department of agrl-
culture. Mr.. Willis is the first stock
man, and probably the first farmer,
to obtain a United States trademark
for his farm. There is nothing in the
law % prevent it, but APPARENTLY NJ
one thought of it before. If a farmer
uses his farm name and TRADEMARKS
as part Of his selling operation in dis
posing of what he produces, the trade
mark protects the owner of the farm
in It's use in interstate commence.
Several states have laws which author
ize the registration Of farm names
with the state authorities, but a trade
mark registered by the government
protects the use of the farm name out
side of the state in which the farm is
located.

WHERE SCIENCE STOPS SHORT
Why II Will Always Be Impossible to
Square the Circle With Per
feet Accuracy.

To correspondent who suggests an
experimental method OF squaring the
circle, the editor of the Scientific
American replies that the method
seems correct. but adds:
Your results will. however. be no
more accurate than your ability TO con
struct squares and circles and to meas
ure lines and angles This does not
go much beyond ten-thousandth OF
an inch This may be quite sufficient
for the engineer, but II is not for the
mathematician lie demands absolute
accuracy. In 1882 II was proved by
Lindemann that IL was impossible to
find the side Of a square which was
equal 10 a given circle II this Is so,
all the other figures which YOU con
struct are equally impossible Of exact
determination You cannot make a
perfect square or perfect circle with
wood or metals In everything we
make we have TO say exact within
the limits Of measurement
