various modern flaments materials
nave been made and comparisons drawn
which go to demonstrate conclusively
the relative value Of the different ma
terials. The brilliancy of the light
given has also been investigated, and
some very interesting results are prom,
lsed when their paper is printed
James o. Conville made the neces-
sary surveys for a power plant in the
south Fork Of Big Cottonwood canyon
last summer and his thesis consists of
design for hydro-electric power
his survey shows to actually exist.
Louis Spitko has a design very similar
to Mr.. .Conville' IS, except that his plant
is Of larger capacity. Vernon Samu-
els has designed a steam electric plant.
expected to supply town Of 5000 in,
habltants with electricity for lighting
and domestic purposes. All of these
designs arc being done under the super
vision of +. II. Beckstrand, professor
IN mechanical engineering.
Tests Of Clements.
Professor Reckstraud also has charge
of some practical work being done BY
HTests Of Utah Portland Cements.''
They have obtained samples from the
various manufacturers in the state and
have carried through An extensive Sc
ries of tests, calculated to determine
relative merit of the different brands
manufactured in Utah. Along this line
is some work by Wilford Cannon, who
has made similar set of tests on Goals
mined in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado
The rroofioo1 valuo of 4ba 1ota ,L
tained in both of these theses will be
of immense value from commercial
point of view.
HMill Test and Design of Conceu-
traitor for Low Grade Copper Ore,'
is the subject of the thesis TO be pre-
! sented jointly by T. w. Sharn'an, +.
w. Monahan, r. E. Gardner and II. D.
Moyle. These men obtained a shipment
of ore from the Boston Consolidated

written On "The General and Economic

On Antelope Island.
| George Bywater and Joseph Barlow
have treated Antelope island, in Great
| Salt lake, in a similar manner, except
that the absence of any mines made
a study of ore deposits unnecessary.
Stratigraphy of Dry Canyon and vi
cinity," His work included consider
able field work, with special attention
to paleontology and stratifcation. Har-
rison Woodbury. and Levi Muir have
studied the geological formations Of
the north end of the Oquirrh noun
tains, with a view to solving any prob
lens in connection with the strait
graphy of the region.
In addition to all this, two post grad
uate students will receive the degree
out his degree as Master of Science
and will, of course, present theses in
so doing. Miss Florence Farnsworth has
written on ga Comparison of the
Ethical Ideals Of Emerson and Car

Theodore P. Holt, the holder of the
| FWall Fellowship IN Mining" has
completed one of the best series Of ex
periments ever performed along the
particular lines of his Investigation
"Cyanide Action on Silver Minerals, )"
This is subject of great Importance
among metallurgists and it is believed
that the work Of Mr.. Holt in the labor
atories at the university will assist ma
terially In solving a number of the
problems which are still bothering met
allurgists. An article by Mr.. Holt on
this subject recently appeared in the
Mining and Scientific Press, this ar
ticle being part of his thesis.
While this is not the largest gradu.
ating class which has left the univer-
sity, the authorities say that it is one
of the best and PORT to the excellent
work which has been done in the mat
ter of preparing theses as proof of this
fact.
