Interpreting Science to the Engineer.
lEngineering and Mining Journal)

Engineering and Mining Journal)
 From thoughtful address delivered recently by Dr. C. R. Richards, of Lehigh University. at the Nashville meeting of the American Asso- citation for the Advancement of Science, one might evolve yet another definition of engineer ing: The application of fundamental science to the constructive and industrial arts. Doctor Rich ards maintains that industry can feel secure until it is fully aware of the scientific basis of it's activities; that additions to Knowledge result from scientific research; that developments in industry follow the adaptation of such knowledge as result of industrial research, and that on the combined outcome of scientific research and industrial research depends the progress of civ ilization and the improvement of the status of man.
 great majority of engineers have neither the background the time to study each of the manifold advances in scientific thought. Doctor gineer can be brought together to the advantage of both by widening the scope and defining the program of Section M of the Association. Rep lresentatives of the various branches of engineer ing should, at the meetings summarize the latest applications of scientific knowledge to the indus trial arts; and the pure scientists might well interpret and present the possible applications of the latest discoveries in their fields
 The technique of engineering is already ade- quately covered by the various engineering so- ceties. What is needed is more orderly and systematic contact of engineers with those yersed l in theoretical and scientific fundamentals. A new journal is suggested, designed to publish in understandable form the latest scientific .data and discoveries, for the of the engineer All these ideas have merit and deserve consideration

And he will not take any undue advantage over these densons of the deep since he will go along clad only in a bathing suit and without any kind of weapon.
 We'll agree that he should be able to make real test, a satisfying one but it remains to be seen whether not he will be contented with the result of the experiment..

F SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin. the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of it's erm-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leav- ing a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur at any drug store. -ady.

CONVICTED OF LIBEL.

In 40 minutes the other day, Rev Marna D. Foulson New Jersey Superintendent of the Anu Saloon League was found guilty by Jury Ill Newark of having criminally libeled three New ark Judges on November 4 last year At that time he linked the names of three Judlclal officers with the vicious combination of organ zed vice and disorganized law enforcement" The Anti-Saloon head fined $500 Pend ing an appeal he has gone back to his job of bossing the work of the League in the State The Judge presiding the trial before pro nouncing sentence made a few remarks that Rev Poulson and others like himself oyerz zealous to impose the fanatica will unsympathetic citi- zens, might we'll take to heart. He said:
 You have borne false witness against
 your neghbor. You have injured the
 regulations of three men, who through
 long years of effort, have raised them
 selves to positions of dignity and im-
 portance. No matter what you do, no
 matter what this court does, they
 never entirely free themselves in the
 public's estimation of the taint you
 have unjustly placed upon them by
 your libel Instead of manfully ad-
 hitting your long time ago. you
 have come here in court and pre-
 tended to produce evidence to support
 your charges. In this you have utterly
 failed.
 Americans, private citizens and public off cials alike, have had ingrained in them respect for ministers or the Gospel Seldom are libel suits brought against them for that more than any other cause. But where false testimony is given by one the damage is greater than were the false witness not man of the cloth ? Perhaps Superintendent Poulson has learned his lesson and through him, others Perhaps the realization of the truth of the Judges words from now on you stand before the world man with record--one previously convicted of crime. That knowledge will be unbidden guest at your freside throughout the years to come"-will indeed be punishment much great CT than any the court could have imposed upon him.
