means proper for a true exhibition of the ability of either team lehigh however was at all times superior to muh lenberg both in offensive and de fensive work and had the condi tion of the field been

engineering so ciety held its initial meeting of the year on thursday evening octo ber 23rd in the physics labora tory there was a record-breaking attendance including men from all the classes a paper on electrolytic light ning arresters was read by j s gemmel 14 mr gemmel explain ed that the working principle of electrolytic lightning arresters de pended upon the peculiar property possessed by aluminum of letting current flow in one direction only the form in general use consists of a stack of concentric inverted cones of aluminum each filled with an equal amount of an electrolyte the number of cones and the distance they were to be spaced apart de pended upon the voltage the stacks are surrounded by a cylinder of an insulating material known as micarta and are immersed in a tank of oil which not only serves to con duct away the heat but also pre vents the electrolyte from evapor ating when there is a lightning discharge which strikes the line the cones act as numerous safety valves which permit the excessive charge to pass to the ground the arresters cannot be connect ed directly across the lines but must be placed in series with a horn gap between the lines and the ground in order to insure successful opera tion it is necessary to charge the cells for a few minutes several times a day mr gemmel also stated that this type of arrester had been in success ful operation for several years un der all sorts of climatic and other conditions and had been the means of eliminating countless causes of trouble in power transmission prac tice the meeting was favored by the presence of mr 11 \<. lee 06 su perintendent of the electric metal lurgical company's works at llol comb rock a mr lee gave a short talk on various points of in terest to electrical engineers and mentioned some of the problems which would be encountered after graduation dr drinker also favored the so ciety with his presence and follow ed up ah lee's remarks with a few words of greeting the meeting was concluded after a short social hour orchestra mr ernest baynes of new hampshire journalist and natural ist delivered an interesting lecture friday morning october 24th in the packer memorial chapel on our wild animal neighbors mr baynes handled his subject so admirably that at no time did his audience seem the least restless mr baynes said that every ani mal no matter how large always leaves some record of its every move the power to read this language of the trails is denied to none if a person cannot read it it is either because he has poor eyesight or is not observant these records are everywhere and free to all the record may be a turned leaf a foot-print a broken twig or a moved stone each is character istic of the animal making it and each one varies under different con ditions we are all familiar with the tracks of the cotton tail the tiny records of the little squirrel scampering from a tree to a store house under the snow can easily be detected but how can we tell that it is a squirrel and what kind it is we follow the tracks back to the tree leading away from the store house and there we see the little squirrel eating his delicacy if we do not find the squirrel we look for the remains of the nut and care fully examine it if chewed in a zig zag manner it was a red squirrel if chewed into bits with long tooth marks it was a grey squirrel if chewed to the shape of a box with a rough edge it was a chip-monk if two holes are in each of the fiat sides the tracks are those of a white footed or deer-mouse the minut est details carefully studied will in variably yield positive proofs as to just what animal it was coxtixtki ox skconi i'ack every animal leaves a different record most easily detected in the winter when there is snow on

we sit on the side lines and wonder what down it is how long the quarters are what the decision is how many yards to gain etc ( ur new score-board tells the tale at a glance all those present at the game on saturday will appreciate what a splendid thing we have in the new score-board the design was taken directly from pennsylvania where the copier had the advantage of be ing on the platform while it was beinpf worked during 1 the penna.r indian game last year there are three sections to this arrangement the section on the left tells the down and whose ball and the visitors score the middle one notes the yards to gain and le high's score and the delays and pen alties and the one on the left is the clock which tells the length of quarters and how long to play the yellow hand on this dock points to the length of quarters and the white one keeps the time to play wrestling practice under the di rection of manager ( rraham was held in the colosseum last thurs day the time was spent in
