ter according to an announce
men by DR.. ]. w. Severy, depart
ment of botany head. The new
building increases greatly the
facilities of the botany depart
ment, and will make it one of
the strongest in the Northwest.
The addition includes labora-
tories and a greenhouse for the
botany department as we'll as an
animal house for the zoology de-
partment. It will be used for
the beginning laboratory course
in botany as we'll as advanced
courses, plant physiology and
geology. The university's classes
in these subjects are unusually
large, even for a much larger
institution, due partly to the
great number of forestry STU
dents who must take the courS-
eS.
Faculty members of the bot
any department plan to use the
facilities of the greenhouse and
laboratory to do fundamental
research work in seed germin-
alton and survival subjects of
plants valuable in Montana
range and forest. This work will
be done in cooperation with the
school of forestry and the for
estry nursery. Little work has
previously been done in the
field.
Light. heat, atmospheric moi
sture and plant nutrients can
be controlled rather accurately
in the new greenhouse, making
research work possible. The
building is so arranged that all
equipment needed by students
is conveniently located with the
laboratories a d OF n ing the
greenhouse easily accessible.

Earth's Motion Interferes

II you make a deep hole in the
earth you can't drop anything to the
bottom. because the earth moves on
and the side of the hole stops the
falling object. This has been proved
by experiments in the deep shafts
Of the American copper mines. Tools
dropped from the mouth Of a shaft
were not found at the bottom but
wedged against the side Of the shaft
and this led the Michigan college Of
mines to make experiments. The
