WASHINGTON-With an expression of faith at this dark hour of human affairs in the perfectability of men and in their "unlimited future,” Julian S. Huxley, British scholar and natural scientist, declared here that the progress of the scientific method will undoubtedly succeed in producing a stable and well regulated society in the end.

Inasmuch as the mugnetle mine is actuated by steel-hulled ships, wooden crati are the first requisite for the new mine-sweeping opera- tions.

One possible scheme would be to blow the mines up by drugging a magnetized sweep over them. This would require two wooden-hulled trawlers travelling at a suitable dis- Lance apart. From each ship would be extended a line, held below the surface at the proper distanco by a
