Let the Popular Science Monthly 

 Send You a Check 



Do you know an interesting photograph when you see 

 one ? 



Then you should be receiving checks regularly from 

 Popular Science Monthly. 



Go to the nearest newspaper office and ask the editor 

 for the names of inventors in your town. Find out what 

 each is doing. If one has invented a device to catch chicken- 

 hawks with kites, another an apparatus to kill flies by elec- 

 trocuting them, and a third a treadmill for his dog, and 

 so on, let us have articles, with photographs or drawings — 

 quick ! 



Do you know that photographers' studios are mines for 

 some authors ? Go to the nearest studio. Ask the photog- 

 rapher to let you look through his plates and prints. Pick 

 out the novel, the curious pictures, and mail them to us. 



Is there a big manufacturing plant in your town ? Did 

 you ever go through it with your eyes open ? How do you 

 know but some mechanic in that very plant has invented a 

 machine which is saving his boss a thousand dollars a week ? 

 Shouldn't the whole manufacturing world hear of that man ? 



How about the big engineering jobs in your neighbor- 

 hood ? Do you know that contractors never dig two cellars 

 alike ? Keep an eye on them. Look out for new labor and 

 time-saving machines. 



Now get busy and receive some checks. 



News to you is something which is new to you. 



Is the picture of Italian soldiers with blackened faces 

 on Page 382 of this issue news to you ? We put it there 

 believing that it would be. 



On Page 333 is shown a roof bungalow. One of our 

 readers happened to discover this unique mode of living, and 

 recognizing something new, he immediately obtained photo- 

 graphs, and sent them to us. They were news to us and we 

 paid him" for them.
