How New zealand Became British.


How New Zealand became British
possession is one of the romances of
colonization. Seventy years ago it was
a sort of no mans land. but it leaked
out that France contemplated annexa-
ton. There was a race from Sydney
between a British and a French man
of-war, the former winning by a few
hours and securing New Zealand for
the British crown A few years pre-
viously d French adventurer, Baron de
Thierry. at the head of 100 followers,
whom he had recruited in Sydney,
had proclaimed himself King Of New
Zealand" but the Baron had not suf-
hcient funds to maintain monarchy.
His subjects deserted and his reign
collapsed.

METALLURGY.

written by r. H. Bradford, Professor

Concerning research work done in
metallurGy during the past year, ex-
periments have been carried on in our
assay furnaces, especially >the gas fur
naces. to determine the temperature of
the lead button i'm cUpeIlation. The re-
suits were published in the March num-
Der of the Journal Of Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry.
The exhaustive tests by present Wall
fellow, Theo p. Holt. on the cyaniding
Of silver ores, have required much very
careful and systematic work embracing
the treatment Of numerous minerals
and ores with various solutions: and
the cumulative examination of the
solutions and residues from these. has
involved the making of more than GOO
assays. The results of these tests viii
be presented by Mr.. Holt in his thesis
for the masters degree this commence
ment.
Some Of the results are published in
the Mining and Scientific Press of April
II this year. a more exhaustive article

Considerable work has been done to
determine the most desirable methods
Of treatment of copper carbonate and

RAILROAD ENGINEERING.

Written by F. c. French. professor of
surveying and railroad engineering.)
In regard to research work that Is
now being carried on. or contemplated.
l would say that there IS in progress an
extensive series Of experiments to de-
termine the actual pressures developed
in the sides and bottoms of ore bins
and against retaining walls holding I'D
materials Of any description. under anv
conditions.
Pressure in grain elevators have been
quite thoroughly determined by Mr.
jameson for the Northern Pacific rail-
way and it is hoped that similar in
formation for ores. gravel. coal. sand
etc, will be valuable in the design of
bins for holding these materials and
the supplying of data regarding actual
pressures against retaining walls and
adding knowledge where now only
theory exists.
The method Of conducting the ex-
periments at present consists of q series
of bins of different sizes. from small to
large. whose bottoms are movable and
entirely independent of the sides. These
bottoms are supported on levers so ar
ranged as to transmit the load on the
bottom, which registers the load rest
ing on the bottom when the bin is
filled WITH various kinds and sizes Of
materials The load is placed in the
bin in increments and record kept Of
the scale reading at each increment.
To determine the pressure on the sides
of the bins and on retaining walls. We
have constructed a hydraulic dia-
phTagm, which is placed at any point
in question. The material is then filled
in against the diaphragm and the ac-
tual pressure recorded by the height of
a column of mercury balanced by the
pressure. The results so far in this
manner are gratifying. and the expert
ments will be continued through the
summer in actual commercial ore bins.

WORK OF DEPARTMENTS
INCREASED FACILITIES WILL

The state school Of mines at the uni

tention and energy TO original research
and investigation. This department is
considered one of the most important
Of the school. as its results greatly ben

facilities that are planned, the research

The work done at the university at
present ranks with the experiments and
Investigations that are made i'm the best
engineering schools of the country, and
the results and data arc published in the
standard engineering journals and ac-
cepted ny many large industrial con-
Germs. The following brief articles,
prepared for The Herald by the pro
fessors in charge. show the valuable
work that has been done and is now be

ments of the school. An experimental
station was created at the school of
mines by the last legislature. and the
men whose names appear with these
articles constitute the experimental
staff. Besides continuing work along
the lines that are noted here. important
work viii be done for the public health
and sanitation.
As the results of research and orig
iual investigation are not as apparent
as the work i'm the other departments,
Or. J. F. Merrill, director of the school
Of mines, has made the following state
ment:
Research Work.
The idea that the University of Utah
possesses no facilities for research work
in any of the sciences is utterly erron-
eous. Research work is being done, and
has been done, in several of the sci
ences. Indeed, such work is necessary
10 the very life of any up-tO-date insti-
tuition of collegiate rank. The research

Harold Hills made a careful design
Of a spillWay to be used in very SOFT

features Of this structure were entirely

long and important system of expert
ments in the hydraulic laboratory OF
the university. and from the data OBJ
tanned wrote very creditable thesis
on "Undershot We.rs and the Rating
of the Overall Weirs at the University
Of Utah Hydraulic Laboratory" These
young men devoted themselves to this
important and original problem with
commendable diligence, and IL they had
been successful in getting larger
stream of water with which to eXpe1i-
ment their results would have been
worthy Of publication in the best scien-
tihc journals. These young men have
pointed out the way which. If followed

portant results. If measurements can
be made accurately with the UNDER
shot weir, water can be measured with
little loss of head, and the canal in
which if flows can be kept clean, so
that this problem, if solved. means d
