The Drum Nosepiece, a new design for paired objectives, permits rapid change of magnifications. It contains 3 pairs of objectives of different powers held in parfocal position. Six powers are instantly available.
Another feature which makes this model easy and comfortable to use is the high eye point. It makes the image come up to meet the eye," which in-
sures seeing the full field. The field is large, excellently defined to the edges and highly illuminated.
_h The objectives aff ord long working distances.
This model has decided advantages because the body can be attached to five different stands.
Literature on the Drum Nosepiece is in preparation

The fabric of national and business life today is trust- whenever that trust is betrayer we have wars, strikes and revolutions. Accuracy aad honesty enter even more vitally into the complicated balance of physical health and the intricate process of mrodern mranufacture; a few degrees
diwerence in temperature are the diference between human life and death; and in industry the difference between successful oanufacture and ruin. The manufacture of instruments which record and control
e so important a thing as temperature oust be like Caesar's wife. The fact that today most of the scientific instru-

INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC it o r ' b T A SYNTHESIS
Published every month (each number containing 100 to SCIENTIA,, ~ ~~~~~~~120 pages) Editor: EUGENIO RIGNANO
IS THE ONLY REVIEW the contributors to which are really international. IS THE ONLY REVIEW that has a really world-wide circulation. IS THE ONLY REVIEW of scientific synthesis and unification that deals with the funda-
mental questions of all sciences: the history of the sciences, mathematics, astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology and sociology.
IS THE ONLY REVIEW that by means of enquiries among the most eminent scientists and authors of all countries (On the philosophical principles of the various sciences; OnA the 'most funda'mental astronomical and physical questions of current interest, and in particular on relativity; On the contrib'ution that the different countries have given to the development of various branches of knowledge; On the more iXmportant biological questions, and in particular on vitalism; On the social question; On the great international questions raised by the World War), studies all the main problems discussed in intel- lectual circles all over the world, and represents at the same time the first attempt at an international organisation of philosophical and scientific progress.
IS THE ONLY REVIEW that among its contributors can boast of the most illustrious men of science in the whole world. A list of more than 350 of these is given in each number.
The articles are published in the language of their authors, and every number has a supple- ment containing the French translation of all the articles that are not French. The review is thus completely accessible to those who know only French.

4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~4
Trying to compare the Paulin Altimeters with the old standard aneroids, one seems to be at a loss, because there simply cannot be applied any comparison. The Paulin Altimeter seems, to me, so far superior that no other aneroid can come into consideration, where reliable qusick readings are required."
J. V. D. GRACHT (Geologist).
PRECISION ALTIMETER One mnan with a " Paulin Altimeter" can make a reconnaissance survey and place his contours accurately, in less time than two men could do it in the old way with level and rod. I. Accurate as a Mercurial Barometer. 2. Anyone can read the instrument with-
out mathematical corrections. 3. Light and Portable. Can be safely
shipped any distance without losing accuracy.
4. Cost about half of a mercurial Ba- rometer.
