Page 283 - CATALOGUE SLIPS. [Mount each slip upon a separate card, placing the subject at the top of the second slip. The name of the series should not be repeated on the series card, but the additional numbers should be added as received to the first entry.] W arman, Philip Creveling. . . .

Page 1 - The figures giving the dates between the last killing frost in spring and the first in autumn are of considerable interest to students of agricultural conditions.
Page 52 - Quadrangles. The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluminum tablet at the southeast corner of the Jefferson County Court House at Steubenville, Ohio, marked "716 STEUBENVILLE. ' ' The elevation of this is accepted as 714.729 feet above mean sea level and was determined from the Army Engineers bench mark "67 A...
Page 89 - Darton as a part of the general investigation of the underground-water resources of the western portion of the United States.
Page 8 - LIGNITE AS FUEL. The computations here presented to indicate the amount of lignite that will be required to raise water to the level of the various flats have been made by Charles S. Magowan, professor of municipal and sanitary engineering at the State University of Iowa. With the computations Professor Magowan presents the following statements: The fuel that will be used in the locality under consideration is lignite that in service tests has been...
Page 11 - ... plain, which is not here considered a part of the lower terrace. A portion of the lower terrace is being carried away by inroads of the river, but the loss due to this cause is not serious enough to interfere with any scheme for the development of the flat as a whole. The slope of the surface of both terraces is favorable to irrigation. For many reasons the region invites study with reference to the possibility of irrigation. The area, especially when both terraces are taken together, is considerable,...
Page 21 - It may be more practicable to control the water of Apple River and use it for irrigation purposes, for the stream drains a considerable area and could doubtless furnish all the water needed if it could be properly stored. On account of their situation on the outskirts of a city of considerable size, and on the Northern Pacific Railroad, gardening should prove remunerative, and a rather high cost per acre to secure irrigation may be justified.
Page 12 - The stock is run thru washing machines for the purpose of removing the lime. . . . The washing machine consists of an oval channel about 3 feet wide, around which the stock travels, being supplied with copious volumes of water. Across this channel is placed a cylinder, 42 inches in diameter and 42 inches long, having longitudinal ribs or flanges about three-fourths of an inch square in section and three-fourths of an inch apart. Meshing with this, like the teeth of geared wheels, is an idler, below,...
Page 3 - Deductions from anal ys'-x. -The method of analysis employed differs from that commonly used for lignites, for the percentage of moisture is first computed, and then, after the moisture has been expelled, the amount of the other constituents is determined. The percentage of fixed carbon, volatile matter, and ash is made somewhat higher than when the undried coal is analyzed. The practical difficulty in bringing the lignite to the laboratory without partial drying, however, makes it much more desirable...
