...were lengthened and broadened. This new room is ventilated by a hood running the entire length of the wall, extending down from the ceiling for two or three feet. The hood connects with a 30-inch electric fan, which is kept in motion by a one hourse power electric motor. The room, which is 66x35 ft., will be used as a laboratory for the members of Chemistry 1. It contains tables and lockers for some two hundred and thirty...
...success, consists in a little apparatus which will reduce the voltage of an electric wire without interfering with the current. Just what is the mechanism by which this result is accomplished can not be announced for the present. It is claimed that it will entirely supplant the motor dynamos which are used in telegraph and telephone companies. The Edison machine now in use costs $100 and Mr. Hogan says that his is so simple that it can be made to sell at $5.00. Experts have expressed themselves as satisfied that the invention will be a success, and it will probably...
...month by some speaker well known in the scientific world. Mr. Clemens Herschel, of New York, will lecture on Roman Acqueducts in the latter part of February. In the latter part of March Francis B. Crocker, professor of electrical engineering in Columbia College, and inventor of the Crocker-Wheeler motor, will speak. His subject will probably be the Definitions of Electric Measurement. These dates are not positively decided, nor the speakers for the other occasions. Engineer-in-Chief Melville of the United States Navy, has been asked to continue the story of the Arctic relief expedition, which he described here...
