...meet the increased demand for extra orders of ice cream, which will come with the hot weather, a place for serving all uncooked orders will be built this week in Memorial Hall, adjoining the east end of the large serving screen. In order to make room for this addition, tables 5, 6, 16 and 17, which now run lengthwise, will be placed crosswise and thus room will be made next to these four tables for table 8, which now occupies the space designated for the new serving-place. This change will enable the waiters to serve uncooked orders...
...frequent slides of rock and rubbish are unmistakable signs of the slow wearing process, which often trims sharp peaks into regular slopes. Glaciers which are characteristic of these lofty mountains, wear broad basins in valleys, forcing aside mountain spurs which they cannot go around. The Alaskan glaciers show how ice-fields may enter the sea, carrying down masses of debris and rounding off rock formations in the descent. Sometimes subdued, are depressed and buried in the sea, often to a great depth...
...have been successfully operated in the Ohio River and the River Thames in England. The folding dams constructed by the United States Government in the Ohio are so arranged that by simple mechanism the whole structure can be laid flat below the level of the lower sill, so that ice can pass out and the water flow unimpeded as if no dam existed. Thus, by emptying the basin and filling it again on the night tides, all the beauties of a lake can be obtained without changing to any appreciable extent the present degree of saltiness of the water...
Conditionally upon the formation of a sufficiently large party, a geological and geographical excursion in the North Atlantic for the summer of 1901 was planned last January. It was proposed to hire a steamer of about 1000 tons specially adapted for ice navigation and capable of accommodating 60 men. The expedition was to visit Labrador, Greenland and Iceland. As only twenty-one men have signified their wish to go on this excursion the original plan has been abandoned and an alternative proposed...
...tones (gross) and explore the coasts of Greenland as far as Disko, of Baffin Land to the head of Frobisher Bay, and of Labrador, including Ungana bay and the high mountain ranges on the northern coast. The "Leopard" has sufficient coal capacity for this cruise, is built to penetrate ice-fields, and would be very roomy for a party of twenty. The chief aim of this expedition will be to combine geological sight-seeing with as much serious exploration as possible. If any of the party desire to hunt they will be put ashore where it is desired. The party...
