mining experts the development of a successful geophysical method of prospecting for anthracite coal was announced wednesday morning at a meeting of the american institute of min ing and metallurgical engineers in new york city by dr maurice ewing instructor in geology details of the new method were given in a report titled prospect ing for anthracite by the earth re sistivity method by dr ewing a p creary and j w peoples formerly of lehigh and j a peo ples jr starting with the observation that anthracite is a better conductor of electricity than are the slates shales and sand-stones in which it is em bedded these scientists have dem onstrated that the presence of a vein of anthracite may be detected by making measurements of elec trical resistivity at the surface of the ground development started in 1934 development of the new process was started in the summer of 1934 verification by drilling has just been completed since the start of the project five separate electrical sur veys have been made in the west ern middle coal field near ma honay city the areas surveyed were thoroughly tested subsequently by drilling and stripping opera tions which have consistently veri fied the predictions made from the electrical surveys electrical surveys of the same general nature have been made in recent years in the search for lead zinc and gold bearing quartz veins but this makes their first successful application in the coal fields as full details of the method are being pub lished by the institute of mining and metallurgical engineers it is immediately available for use in the anthracite coal mining industry the work being reported in dr ewing's paper is part of the gen eral geophysical program of the lehigh group wnich did the sub marine seismic work off the coast of virginia last summer competition opens explosion injures chem professor roentgenologist speaks on the place of x-ray in modem medicine dr byron h jackson of the american roentgenological society spoke on the uses and dangers of x-ray in modern medicine at a meeting of the robert w hall pre-med society last evening in packard laboratory after a short outline of the dis covery of the x-ray dr jackson proceeded to point out that x-rays are a bundle of waves which are be yond the violet in the ordinary spec trum x-rays serve two distinct purposes diagnosis and treatment the treatment of diseases by the use of x-ray is becoming more and more popular said the roentgenolo gist the voltage of the machine has much to do with this fact an indicator has been invented which shows how much current and rays per minute go into the treatment it has now been positively proven that all skin cancers can be cured by x-rays many other interesting cures were presented a man de veloping a boil can take one treat ment and all traces of the infec tion will disappear about four years ago it was discovered that treating the nerve at the base of the vertabrae is a positive cure for shingles and that a few hours after treatment the pain is gone 5 students speak at i.e meeting fister describes steel mill power guyer butter field welch hoffman and moesel get perfect grades 43 seniors are listed ¦ jl mm

n adlam tells m e so ciety of use of convec tion wastes fuel t n adlam vice president and chief engineer of the sarco com pany spoke last night at the meet ing of the local branch of amer ican society of mechanical engin eers on modern aspects of steam heating he described old types of heating methods and linked them with those employed today the speaker explained how most heating today is by convection ra diation accounting for only 20 per cent of the total the fact that a person feels cold when the sun goes behind a cloud for a few mo ments shows that it is not the air that is cooled but the lack of radia tion which causes the feeling by the use of metal plates attached to the front of radiators radiation heat may be accomplished mr adlam stated that buildings are kept far too warm because of convection currents this is the only way to heat the lower part of a room by the use of radiation a room that is kept at 68 degrees may be lowered to 60 degrees the oc cupants will then warmer and also have more working powers shattered glass severely lacerates babasinian an explosition resulting from an unexpected reaction caused severe lacerations to vahan s babasinian professor of
