New Mechanism Installed in school
of Engineering.

of Engineering,
The school of engineering of Colorado
college has recently installed a GRAY metal
planer in the mechanical laboratory for the
use or its engineering students who take
work and instruction in practical mechan-
les. The apparatus is constructed with
broad housings and a deep bed. which in
sure great rigidity and security from chat
tering for all positions of the cross-rail. On
the cross-rail are two heads. the saddle be-
ing made right and left. The cross-rail
itself Is extra long so that either head can
be used to plane the full width of the ma
chine. The cross-feed is provided with
micrometers accurately graduated to me-
t~housandth Of an inch. There is attached
to this metal planer an electric grinder Of
o~ne-quarter horsepower. for the accurate
grinding of metal to be used in the con-
struction of apparatus for the various lab
oratories.
Two small gas furnaces have been con-
structed, the greater part OF the work lone
by the students in the mechanical labora-
tories. One is a pot furnace, to be used in
melting alloys and the treatment OF steel
in an open fire, and for bronsing. The
other is a hinge circular top, for open fire
or muffle furnace. Students use these fur
naces for the treatment of nigh carbon
and high speed steels.
The last number Of the Bulletin OF the
American Mathematic Society contains an
article by Prof. Florian Cajori of Colo
RADIO college on the history OF a method in
mathematics known as mathematical Undue
ton" A great many different statements
have been made as 10 the originator OF
this method. Prof. Cajori quotes from
many different authors and arrives at the
conclusion that the method should be at
tributed to Blaise Pascal, and not to Fer
mat. as claimed by some writer's.
Prof. Cajori has been invited by the sec
rotary Of Section a of the British AssocIa-
ton for the Advancement OF Science TO
contribute a paper at the August meeting.
TO be held In Winnipeg.

Marked Increase in scope, Teaching

stan and students.
Forty-five professors and fifty-five in
structors will make up the teaching staff
next year OF the Schools Of Engineering
at Columbia university, ana in addition
there will be even more nonresident lee
turers than this year, when forty-seven
gave from one to five lectures in the va
rious courses.
This plan OF lectures by non-residents
is one Of the most important features of
the course. During the scholastic year,
men prominent in the various branches
of engineering go up to Columbia to give
the students the benefit of their years
of experience in the outside world. and
by this means the students are kept in
touch with the latest discoveries or prac-
tice in their chosen profession; are taught
the economic SHE Of engineering, and are
better fitted to take up their work imme-
diately after graduation. The practical
side of the work is also given in the lab
oratories, and, as a matter Of course,
the best instructors are engaged in teach
ing the theoretical side. The engineer
who Is graduated from Columbia, is,
therefore, well fitted in every respect to
take UP his task when hi receives his
degree. Among the lecturers this year have
been such prominent mon as BENJAMIN
B. Lewrence. consulting mining engineer
Allen Hazen. the sanitary engineer: c. f.
Scott Of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufactures company; Stevenson Tay-
Tor, president of the Quintard Iron Works
c. B.. Going, editor of the Engineering
Magazine; c. II. Carpenter, president Her
ring-Hall-Narvin Safe company; ]. NJ.
Dodge, Link Belt company OF Philadel-
phia, and w. P. White. builder OF the
Niagara Falls power plant. The lectur-
ers next year will be men fully as emf
nent in their professions.
In the last year the increase in number
OF students Of engineering at Columbia
has been double that OF any other school
OF the kind in the country, and the stu
dent body is now so large that II has
been necessary to build a large dormitory
at Camp Columbia and double the size
of the dining hall. The camp now raises
all Its own farm produce, and the water
is the best in the east. The camp will
be full all during the summer with the
different squads which will be sent there
In turn, and the rest OF the students will
be placed In the shops and machine works
throughout the east, where they will get
practical work in the courses thew are
studying at the university. These facts
are set forth in the circular OF the schools
which has just been published.

ERIE MAKES A GREAT RECORD
Averages Less Than n Minnie Late
for Each Train Run During
Month.

The Public Service commission. second
district, state of New York, which re-
quires the railroad companies operating
within the state to furnish detailed infor-
nation relative 10 detentions OF trains,
has issued it's report for March, 1909, and
the Erie railroad leads all other lines for
p~unctuality, with a percentage OF s6. The
company ePerated 1893 trains, OF which
S7 we're late at terminals, giving the
average minutes late per train run OF
nine-tsnths OF a minute.
In addition 10 this record, the company's
own statistics show that within the last
four and one-half years the company has
operated $4,000 passenger trains without
a single fatality TO a passenger. a record
that probably has never been equalled by
q line OF similar size. The Erie carries
an average Of Is, 200, 900 people a year.

NEBRASKA MILITARY ACADEMY
Cadets March to Camp Hayward at
Milford.


The week at Camp Hayward will long
be membered by Nebraska Military acad-
envy boys. They were days dear to young
hearts, brim full Of the pleasures lads
love best. Leaving Lincoln on the morn
ing of May 81, the battalion marched to
Pleasant Dale, where they camped that
night. The friendly reception accorded
by the Pleasant Dale citizens was deeply
appreciated. On the following morning
march was resumed to Milford, the Off
cial camping ground, where tents were
erected on a beautiful site just below the
Soldiers Home. Again the boys were
greeted with many expressions of good
will: the town was decorated in their
honor, and no effort was spared by Mil
ford residents to make the ncampment a
bright spot in the academy year.
While military rules were strictly OBJ
served, the cadets put in long hours of
fishing, rowing. swimming. playing games

90 save Money ON Electric
Plant.
0maha's fame has gone afsr, and ancient
cities in European countries are sending to
this city for enlightenment.
City Electrician Michaelsen is in receipt
OF a letter from Gut Rothelstein, Austria,
asking for information on lighting build
ings by wireless. The letter was written
by Yserstitt & Stramitzer, who said that
they read in European papers Of the light
ing of the Auditorium during the recent
electrical exposition by wireless energy"
The Austrians wrote that their city was
about to build a lighting plant OF 1000
horsepower, but II the city could be lighted
without having a plant they would like to
know how 1t could be Tor so as to save
the expense OF building.
Mr.. Michaelsel will write Ysertitt &
Strs that they had better go ahead
and build their plant, though he will ex-
plain the plan Of DR.. Milliner, whereby the
Auditorium was lighted through the in
strumentality OF the Fort Omaha signal
tower.
The letter from Austria reached Mr..
Michaelsen under this address: "Elek-
trische-Ausstellung, Omaha in Nebraska,
Nordamerika." The letter was written I'm
German. Mr.. Michaelsen purposes to reply
in Esperanto.
