...standing figures, but clad in less distinctive garments, were other figures, in the act of kissing the bare feet of their superiors. From my reading in the records, I was able to identify these figures at once, by their insignia, as members of the Qua Quan Quot. Later our geologist explained that the men had evidently been mummified or petrified by the sudden explosion of a liquid used by the Incas for brilliant illuminating effects, such as red and green lights. The gas thus created, combining with a rocksecretion of volcanic origin, was enough to account for the explosion which...
...teaspoonful of water, if cornered, properly attacked with an electric current, and turned into helium, would yield 2,000,000 kilowatt hours or 275,000 horse power. This fact grants then sun a longer lease on sunbeams that was previously thought possible. Formerly the physicist believed that the geologist assigned greater antiquity to the earth and sun than the caloric energy of the two would allow. But not that it is known that sun than the caloric energy of the two would allow. But now that it is known that such tremendous power is latent tin these toast, geologists...
Professor Alfred C. Lane '33 of Tufts College will speak on the "Dutles of a State Geologist" at a meeting to be held under the auspices of the Geological Club at the Foxcroft house this evening at 8 o'clock.

...arrived in Chita, Peru, our preliminary base, on September 13. Our company consisted of the following members: Senor Alvarotez, professor of Archaeology at Nueva Barcelona, our leader and supervisor, "guide, counsellor, and friend"; Don Calvo, as geologist, (Whose work in stratifying the cliffs of the Anacondian Peninsula has made him world-famous); Dr. Bonaparte (exchange professor from the Sorbonne) who serves as osteologist and physician; Leon Cavallo, our chief topographer; two assistant topographers; and myself, who am to act as historian and representative of the American government...
Another unfortunate fact is that many persons have gone at the science of geology in a half-hearted manner, either ignoring the education that a geologist must necessarily have in order to interpret conditions rightly, or by patronizing divining rod "experts", pseudo-geologists or fakirs. All university men know that it is not sufficient to call one's self a "geologist" to be one; a pains-taking study is necessary of all the fundamental branches of geology, chemistry, physics and engineering before one can even appreciate the rudiments of petroleum geology. For instance, in the case of the writer, four...
