In an article in Contributions of the Society for Research on Meteorites,= Dr. LaPaz, president of the society and head of the department of mathem= atics and director of the Institute of Meteoritics at New Mexico, describ= es an electromagnetic came which facilitates discovery of meteorites near= the surface of the ground and eliminates many a stoop-over backache. The device can readily pick up an Odessa iron meteorite weighing more tha= n a pound, and "caused smaller fragments to jump an inch or more to the c= ollecting tip," says a description of the device in Harvard University's = journal Sky and Telescope.
