cham pions kirkhuff sawtelle and good win second places last thursday evening the min ing and geological society were de lightfully entertained by dr and mrs driker after a short business meeting dr hintze who was the principal speaker of the evening gave a talk 011 the geology of oil and natu ral gas following is a brief sum mary of the address : — historically seeps of oil and na tural gas have long been known but it is only lately that their real usefulness has been ascertained as far back as 1850 some geologic work was done in this line and a relation between the geological for mations and the preserve of oil was noted but for a long time no one knew just how to go about finding an oil well most men going on the supposition that ore is where you find it applied this to prospecting for oil with varying results in 1875 henry e wrigley re ported with reference to the ohio oil regions that the oil was confined to plainly marked belts o geologic disturbance dr j c white in 1883 formulated the now famous amticlival theory of oil and natural gas formation and became so con fid entt that oil and natural gas oc curred only in definite geologic structure that he invested heavily in oil lands in order to prove his theoi_y and as we know was very successful it is known now how ever that oil and natural gas are not limited to these structures the united states geological sur vey are now making maps of the oil regions and according to mr david white of the survey this work far exceeds the study of ore he says that as soon as a man gets experienced in the oil and natural gas field he is offered a good posi tion by one of the large corpora tions and hence the government has to continually hunt up men to fill the vacancies the structure of most of the large oil fields conform to the aniti clival theory the appalachian field is a large geosyncline with smaller anticlines lima indiana is an anticline illinois is an anticline michigan a probable anticlinie tex as and oklahoma are anticlines with a west dip the colorado field has a folded structure the gulf coast is dome structure california and al aska are folds and fanets and wy oming is dome structure continued on fourth page track outlook the largest crowd of the year turned out to hear mike dorizas intercollegiate heavy-weight cham pion deliver a very interesting ad dress on the european w r ar he first gave a brief resume of the two balkan wars and showed how they led up to the present sit uation this war he said is a com mercial war germany was born after the world had been divided and too late to acquire colonies hamburg and bremen her prin cipal seaports were too small for their rapidly increasing commerce and germany desired room for ex pansion ; consequently russia eng land and france formed the triple alliance to prevent germany and austria from acquiring the eastern trade germany had expected the assist ance of roumania but when king charles died a personal friend oi the kaiser roumania remained neutral england at any moment was waiting for aii opportunity to war upon germany and used the viola tion of the belgium neutrality mere ly as a pretext without england's aid he believes the allies chance of victory would be slight italy and roumanda will doubt less remain out of the conflict un til victory for the allies appears certaini when they will jump in for a portion of the spoils throughout the discussion he en deavored to present facts from a non-partisan point of view dorizas is 26 years old he is in his second year at the university o ; f p enn syl vani a . he intends to make teaching his future profes sion despite opportunities in the diplomatic seiwice shortly after arriving at pennsyl vania he took the usual strength test and broke all previous records without previous knowledge of wrestling he defeated with ease in the varsity try-outs all heavy weight aspirants discussing sport he asserted that americans err in their view of sport in so far as they are inclined to give all the praise to the winner and little or none to the loser gloria victis — glory to the van quished should be the american motto j mckay 17 favored with a vocal solo new york alumni to hold annual dinner with the final bouts of the in tercollegiate meet on saturday af ternoon a very successful wrestling season at lehigh came to a close prospects at the beginning of the seasom were not of the brightest two men were lost through grad uation while kirkhuff and thomas were victims of typhoid much credit is due to coach sheridan for having developed his charges to such a high degree two men were new this year : mccullough who replaced thomas in the 135-pound class who in turn filled the vacancy in the 145-pound class ; and pons who wrestled in the heavy-weight

cornell and one more experiments by prof franklin papers by o l carlson 16 and w a reinhard 16 the regular march meeting of the chemical society was held last thursday evening in the physics lecture room the speakers of the evening were prof franklin of the physics department o l carl son 16 and w a reinhard 16 prof franklin who wa the chief speaker of the evening performed three very interesting experiments the first one was to illustrate the cottrell process for the deposition of smoke this process is of great industrial imoortance and it has been installed in many leading plants of the country it is impor tant in the removal of tar from gas es used for gas engines to illus trate the process a six-inch metal pipe about five feet in length was placed in a vertical position and a fine wire was allowed to hang down through the middle of the pipe but not in contact with the walls the wire was made one terminal of a high voltage circuit and the pipe the other terminal and thus the air a round the piece of wire was broken up into positive and negative ionls the positive ions move toward the pipe and when ammonium chloride fumes were allowed to pass up through the pipe these positive ions coming in contact with and charg ing the smoke particles cause 1 their to be deposited upon the wall of the pipe o l carlson 16 presented an interesting paper on the atomic weights of sodium and chlorine by the harvard method the harvard method consists of a care ful determination of the ratios of silver chloride to sodium chloride silver to sodium chloride and silver to silver chloride taking every pos sible precaution to prevent errors from these ratios the atomic weights were calculated the vol umetric method was employed in determining the ratio of silver to silver chloride and the nephelo meter was used in detecting the end point of the reaction when sil ver nitrate was titrated against so dium chloride the nephelometer was devised by prof t w rich ards of harvard university and is an instrument for determining the quantitative presence of an appal escent precipitate in suspension in a liquid and its use depends upon the fact that opalescent precipitates reflect light and that the intensity of the light reflected is a function of the quantity of the precipitate when other conditions are constant w a reinhard 16 read an inter esting paper the commercial pro duction of ammonia there are five methods for the production of ammonia which are of commercial importance the three best known are the gas retort the by-product coke oven and the mond type of gas producer methods a fourth source is the shall oil industry and a fifth is the gas from certain scotch and english blast furnaces in which a peculiar local coal is used england germany and the united states are the leading pro ducers together accounting for about 80 of the total production great strides have been made in this industry in the last few dec ades and the world can look for ward to many more interesting chapters to its history which are ap parently still to be written after a brief discussion of the papers that were read the meeting adjourned to saucon hall where all those present enjoyed a well prepared feed the following men have been ap pointed to comprise the junior prom committee : — f s johniston chairman o l carlson r h hicks j b hill g r johnson m r
