10 Warm Attic Region

Carol Livington Riker, a New York
engineer. proposes to change the eli
mate of the whole Atlantic Coast OF
North America, and to alter even the
solar inclination of the earth. His
| plan Is to send the great heat-bearing
gulf stream, unchilled, into the very
heart of the Arctic. The warm cur
rent. he says, would melt the frozen
| polar seas. and by this substitution of
water for ice he believes the earth
would swing around a bit on its polar
axis and present to the more direct
rays of the sun the regions which are
now practically uninhabitable for
most of the human race.
Not only that, but he would at the
same time. he says, open the ice
bound harbOrs of Eastern Canada for
a whole years shipping: do away with
the foss of the Labrador and New
fOundland coasts and on the Northern
Atlantic, and finally put an end to the
great wandering iceberg on the steam
ship tracks that made the Titanic dis
aster possible. The total cost of this
work he estimates at 100 million dol
lars, sum far below the cost of the
Panama Canal. and the ACCOMPLISH
ment of the work he saws will be
much simpler.
That amazing proposal is made by
Mr.. Riker in all seriousness and sim
cerity. He believes that it can be
done. and in this way:
A jetty would be built extending
eastward from Newfoundland across
the water on the Great Banks. which
will intercept the cold Northern Lab
radOr current. turn il eastward until
it meets the north flowing gulf stream
in deep water The greater part of
the cold stream would pass under the
warm current. he says, and the ice
laden upper part be DETECTED north
again.
Mr. Riker has carried out several
notable engineering feats. He built
the first refrigerating warehouse in
the world. and installed the first cold
storage system in Transatlantic

University Announcement.

In answer to numerous inquiries re-
parding the regulation forbdding
freshmen to board in chapter houses
if seems advisable to issue an official
statement.
On October II. 1911, the University
Faculty took action on this matter
The exact wording of the minutes OF
the faculty action is as follows:
1t was decided TO grant the
fraternitieS a suspension of
the regulation forbidding
students with less than twen-
tv-fOUr hours credit to live
in chapter houses so that for
this session only. or until
June 1912, such students may
board in these houses"
The only further action taken by
the University Faculty was to amend
the rule on June s, 1912. by adding
the following:
Except that the committee on
Student Activities may at its
discretion waive this rule i'm
the case of any student who
has made ID hours credit i'm
his or her first semester i'm
the University"
At the same time the University
Faculty passed these resolutions:
81. That as regards the ques-
ton of admitting new students
under the - hour regulation. the
Committee on Student Activities
shall especially favor the fratern-
tiles having creditable standing
for scholarship.
'2. That the fraternities should
be made to understand that next
year or not later than two years
hence, the right of any fraternity
to initiate members will probably
be made TO depends upon it's
scholastic record"
The Board of Curators at it's meet
ing in June. 1912, approved this mod
ification and these resolutions.

QUALITY OF MILK.
u Can Easily Be Determined by Using
the Candle Test.

the Candle Test.
Here is very simple way in which
to test the quality of the milk you
buy. First stir the milk with spoon
In order to disseminate into the whole
liquid the cream which may have
come to the surface. Then one vol.
ume OF milk is poured into fifty vol
umes OF water-one fluid ounce to two
and half pints. A candle is lighted
In dark room. Take an ordinary
drinking glass with tolerably dat
and even bottom and hold IT right
above the candle at n distance or
about one foot from it, so as to be
able to see the fame of the candle
through the bottom of the glass. Then
pour slowly the diluted milk into the
glass.
The fame becomes less bright as
the level of the liquid rises into the
glass. The flame Is soon reduced to
dull white spot. A little more liquid
slowly added. so as TO avoid pouring
an excess, and the fame becomes alb
solutely invisible. All that remains 20
be done Is to measure the height OF
the liquid In the glass. this being most
conveniently ascertained by dipping
into II n strip OF pasteboard and then
measuring the wet part. 1t should
measure not over one inch if the milk
Is pure. With good quality milk, di'
luted and tested as stated, the depth
will be about seven-eighths of an inch
before the flame is lost To view. A
mixture of one volume of milk and a
half volume of water should show
a depth OF one and half inches. A
depth of two inches indicates either
partially skinned milk or mixture
of one volume Of good milk and one
of water, and so on.
The process Is based upon the close
relation between the opacity Of mih
and the number of fatty corpuscles
contained In IT, Both sllimming and
the adding of water work in the same
direction - namely, to decrease the
opacity OF milk. The same cannot be
said OF the density. Swimming In
