Thermodynamic argument then shows anumber of necessary relations, not generally known, betweenvarious electrical effects. To be published in the earlsspring.

The Science Press Printing CompanyAn article entitled "The Journal Science and the American Association for the

Advancement of Science," printed in the issue of the journal for October 8, 1926,contains the following paragraphs:

In this connection acknowledgment should be made to the printers, The New Era Prinitilng Compainyof Lancaster, Pa., and especially to Mr. Andrew Hershey. In 1893 they were printers of a local news,paper and of local job work. They offered terms much lower than any city printers and maintained thesame rates for SCIENCE for twenty-five years. They proved themselves to be excellent printers anid in1920 were printing some fifty scientific journals. After one partner had died and the other two had ad-vanced in years, the business was sold to a promoter, not himself interested in printing. Charges weregreatly increased and the printing became less efficient.

Efforts were made to purchase the printing plant with cooperative ownership by the scienitific jourinalsthat it printed, but these failed, partly because the $300,000 asked included at least $100,000 for thegood will in large measure given to the business by SCIENCE, and partly owing to the difficulties ofownership by the societies and institutions that controlled the journals. Wheni the Carnegie Institutioniwas established in 1902, the editor of SCIENCE proposed the organization by it of an office for scientificprinting and engraving which could have been made self-supporting, and, as in the case of the Oxfordand Cambridge presses, would have rendered valuable service by assured continuity and expertness illscientific printing; but the plan was not adopted.

Science and the other journals of The Science Press were for a time printed in Utica, N. Y. I1n1923 The Scienee Press Printing Company was incorporated with its office at Lancaster and with thecooperation of Mr. A. E. Urban as general manager and of those compositors, pressmen and proofreaderswho had given that city distinction as a center for scientific printing. This company is now responsiblefor printing Science and a considerable number of other scientific journals, monographs and books.

As stated in this quotation The Science Press Printing Company was established to prinltAScience and the other publications of The Science Press, including The Scientific Monthly, TheAmerican Naturalist, School and Society, and the Biographical Directories of "American Menof Science" and "Leaders in Education." The composition and press work of these publicationsshow the high standards that are maintained. In order to bring them out efficiently and promptly-for example, the entire contents of an issue of Science can be put in type in one day and eaclhweek during 1932 more than 14,000 copies of Science were printed, bound and mailed in a littlemore than one day it has been necessary to have a shop of considerable capacity and to take iilother work. The press now prints some thirty scientific and educational journals and series, an(dhas printed many books and monographs.

It may be regarded as a real contribution to science that there should be a plant in whiclh thezworkers are trained to deal with scientific material. Innumerable commendations of the accuracyof the proofs have been received; to quote only one, the late Professor E. S. Morse wrote to theeditor of Science: "I corrected my first proof a year before you were born and the one I returne(lyesterday was the first one in my long experience that needed no correction."

It is also an advantage for scientific men to have relations with a company that inaintainsthe same rates for the same kind of work under the same conditions. High pressure selling andcompetitive bidding-among the causes of the present economic depression which the codespromoted by President Roosevelt are intended to abolish-are thus unnecessary. A scientificman may assume that work entrusted to the press will be done at a cost as low as is consistentwith high standards of work and the best conditions of employment for the workers. This isless than the cost of equally good work in large cities where wages and rents are much higher.but it is not so low as for inferior printing or where the welfare of workers is disregarded.

While the press must use efforts to obtain work when the capacity of the shop requires it,its object has been to make it as great an advantage for the scientific man to have work done byit as it is for it to do the work. This policy has succeeded, for employees have not on the averagebeen idle as much as one day a year since the press was established; no employee has been laid off(up to October, 1933) even during the economic depression; wages were decreased by 10 per

cent. for only about fifteen months, when costs of living were lowest; the press has a profit shar-ing system for employees; all earnings on the stock have been used to improve the plant. TheScience Press Printing Company is a business corporation; but it is also a scientific institution.It is conducted on the same principles as the journals that it prints. Its object is the advance-inent of science-at the same time it must be self-supporting, and it is desirable to make profitsthat are used to increase its usefulness.

Adequate facilities for the publication and printing of research work are essential for theadvancement of science. The cost of conducting a piece of research that deserves publication,counting the time of the scientific workers and all overhead, may on the average be $2,000. Thecharge for printing by The Science Press Printing Company of a 32 page article or monographin an edition of 1,000 copies is about $80, say 4 per cent. of the cost of the research. This is lessthan the interest on the investment, if there is a delay of a year in publication. Ordinary depre-ciation on machinery is charged-at 10 per cent. a year, but it is much larger in the case of scien-tific research where delay seriously lessens the usefulness of the work and prevents the earlyrecognition of its value. It is most important for science and for scientific men that there shallbe prompt and efficient printing and publication of research.

The Science Press Printing Company has had more work offered to it continuously than itcould do promptly, but owing to the completion of the printing of "Leaders in Education," fol-lowed by the fifth edition of "American Men of Science" (equivalent to 5,000 pages of the usualb)ook) recently completed, it will soon want one or two scientific journals or several books andinonographs in order that the full capacity of the shop may be used and all employees be givensteady work. This is not only a need of the press but also an opportunity for those who takeadvantage of it. It is further reasonable to assume that The Science Press Printing Companydeserves the support and cooperation of scientific men to the same degree as an institution, asociety or a journal that contributes to their welfare and to the advancement of science.

Dr. J. McKeen Cattell was responsible for the organization of The Science Press PrintingCompany ten years ago and has been president of the corporation. Since the untimely death in1926 of A. E. Urban, the first secretary and manager, Jaques Cattell, one of the editors of thelast two editions of "American Men of Science," has been secretary; George M. Houck has beenassociate manager in charge of the composing room; Miles W. Eckman has been associate man-ager in charge of the press room. Inquiries concerning printing should be addressed to the sec-retary at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Give New Tools to ScienceA review of recent B & L achievements inthe fiel(d of optical instrument design thathave madc news includes suichl outstandinginstruments as the R & L Micro-Manipu-lator, the 1, C Polarizing Microscope, theB & L Centrifuge Mliciroscope (afterIlarvey-Loomis) and the New II Line ofLaboratory Microscopes. (In the illustra-tion above, Model H S E A T is shown inuse witlh the Micro-Maniptulator.)In each thlere is associated the careful de-sign, the soand( scientific principles and theprecision worli)nanship that are tradition-ally associatcd with products bearing theB & Lj label.In its more than three quarters of a cen-

tury of service Bausch & Lomb has pio-neered in the manufacturJe of Microscopes,Optical Glass anol many of the optical in-striuments in current use. This pioneer-ing spirit is expresse(d to(lay in unceasingstndy of currenit problems and a forwardlooking policy of service to science. Thelengthy list of scientific achievements hasriglhtly earned for Bausch & Lomb its repu-tation as "'America's Leading Optical In-stitution.'" It is a list that grows steadilyand to wlhich the years add increasingluster.
