...soon passed Harvard, although still rowing a lower stroke. Below the bridge both crews were greatly handicapped by the rough water. At the finish, the University crew made a short spurt, which partly cut down Cornell's lead, but crossed the line a length and a quarter behind the Ithacans.

While manufacturing chemistry in America is still behind that of Germany in most respects, yet the present rate of growth of purely chemical industries in America promises well for the future. In particular the cheap production of electrical energy at Niagara Falls has made possible the founding of a large group of electro-chemical processes, in which such...
