...author shows how far he has strayed from his best field by the story-telling power he displays. His rendering of the folk tales and other stories told by him makes, them the high-lights of the book. Therein lies the chief hope for readers of this book that his next one will be along lines better suited to his talents...
...following article was written expressly for the Crimson by Professor D. H. McLaughlin, instructor of mining engineering in the Harvard Engineering School. He explains the development of "geophysical prospecting," a new field in mining engineering to be discussed at the next meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, to be held in New York City early in February...
...study at the meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers in New York City early next February. All means of securing evidence concerning conditions existing in the solid rock ahead of actual exploration by operations are of course of vital interest to men in this field and geologists and others interested in the development of natural resources have steadily been working on the improvement of methods for estimating the nature of bodies concealed in the crust of the earth. No methods have been found or are likely to be found that will give a final and complete...
...most delicate measurements made by the new methods is in the investigation of irregularities in the gravitational field of the earth by means of the torsion balance. Masses of density different from the surrounding rock, tend to deflect the direction of gravity and the change, though almost infinitesimal, from the standpoint of ordinary human experience, is capable of measurement by observing the amount of rotation of a light beam appropriately weighted and suspended on a thin platinum wire. Ore bodies themselves are rarely large enough to cause detectable variations in gravity, but large features such as heavier rock in cores...
...pole vault which was not included in the K. of C. games will be held this week, thus giving the Crimson vaulters their first opportunity to perform this season. The other field event in which the University men have entered is the high jump, in which P. S. Brown '30 performed well in the meet last Saturday...
