Several capsule holders havealready been designed, but each one will fitonly the caj^sule for which it has been made.I therefore searched in instrument stores andelsewhere, but linally went to the hardwarestore where I found a chuck which is 103/2cm. in length and which can be adjusted totake any of the capsules varying from 4 to6.3 millimeters. The cost of this chuck is85 cents, plus the labor of drilling the softjaws. It is necessary to drill out the chuck inits central portion so that when it is wideopen it will just grasp the largest sized cap-sule. This chuck is superior in my experienceto the instruments made costing $12 to $15.It can be lengthened as much as desired bysetting the handle into a wooden handle(Fig. i). The remainder of the metal, if de-sired, may be covered with rubber. Havingjust spent twenty-five dollars for a pair ofinstruments that will not even grasp one sizeof capsule satisfactorily, I naturallv en-thuse over the above little instrument.
