Professor Parker, when showing the Empire tanners around the textile department: at Leeds University, stated that a member of tho physics department had just invented a simple instrument, telescopic in form, showing at sight tho average Ohio diameter of wools. With this simple instrument a woolgrowor could measure the shoulders of wool sheep and make ids selection lor breeding purposes. Without the instrument 20U microscopic readings were necessary, which was out of tho question for a practical grower. —Australian Press Association.
