The Superman, C W. Faye
The Superman, C W. Faye
Concordia Theological Monthly
This is a revision, amplification, and bringing up to date of an oration delivered and published a number of years ago. I should like to add that I have sometimes felt in preparing this paper that what Bergson, for instance, has been driving at has eluded me. I have tried to present fairly and justly the doctrines of the thinkers mentioned in this paper. Even If I have failed to discover what they wished to teach, I feel pretty confident of having found out what the bulk of their followers think they teach. For practical purposes that is sufficient; for …
A Microtome Knife Cooler, Ray C. Friesner
A Microtome Knife Cooler, Ray C. Friesner
Butler University Botanical Studies
Artschwager described a cooling apparatus for handling paraffin ribbons during hot weather. Use of this device in our laboratory during the summer has proven highly satisfactory and at the same time it suggested to us the idea of using the same principle for keeping the knife blade cool while cutting. Accordingly, a copper box was made 12x6x4 inches, as shown in the accompanying figure. A suitable lid should be made from the same material. On the back of this box was soldered a narrow strip of copper, which was allowed to project approximately seven inches beyond the end of the …
Certain Aspects Of The H-Ion Concentration Of The Soils Of A Central Indiana River Bluff, Stanley A. Cain, Ray C. Friesner
Certain Aspects Of The H-Ion Concentration Of The Soils Of A Central Indiana River Bluff, Stanley A. Cain, Ray C. Friesner
Butler University Botanical Studies
In a recent paper, Cain and Friesner (3) found that there was a relation between topography and the hydrogen-ion concentration of the soil. This work was done on certain hills in the Sycamore creek region, Morgan county, Indiana, where it was found that the acidity was greater on the hilltops and less in the intervening ravines, so that curves representing the degree of acidity of the soil at different points on a line crossing the hills were roughly parallel with the topography. The average acidity on three ridge tops was pH 5.3, while the adjacent ravine bottoms were practically neutral, …
Book Reviews
Butler University Botanical Studies
That biology is a unified subject, in contrast to botany and zoology as separate sciences, is continuing to make progress and its advocates are endeavoring to meet the pedagogical needs of teachers of various teaching views, is evidenced by the recent appearance of three new texts within the field. These texts are, Wheat and Fitzpatrick's "Advanced Biology"; Plunkett's "Outlines of Modern Biology"; and Scott's "Science of Biology."
A Study Of Fruit Diseases Occurring In A Mid-Western Market, George W. Fischer
A Study Of Fruit Diseases Occurring In A Mid-Western Market, George W. Fischer
Butler University Botanical Studies
Diseases occurring in a market represent to a fair degree the diseases of fruits and vegetables in the field, since, in the majority of cases, the diseases appearing and developing in the markets are but a delayed expression of infection which occurred in the field. Furthermore, since fruits and vegetables in the markets have been shipped in from various sections of the country as well as from foreign lands, the diseases of these plant products represent not only the phytopathological conditions of the local state or country, but also those of any other part of the world whence they came.
A Comparison Of Strip And Quadrat Analyses Of The Woody Plants On A Central Indiana River Bluff, Stanley A. Cain, Ray C. Friesner, John E. Polzger
A Comparison Of Strip And Quadrat Analyses Of The Woody Plants On A Central Indiana River Bluff, Stanley A. Cain, Ray C. Friesner, John E. Polzger
Butler University Botanical Studies
This report is concerned with the distribution of woody plants on certain river hills in central Indiana. The location is in the vicinity of Blue Bluffs on White river in Morgan county. Most hills, and particularly river hills of a hundred or more feet in height, show certain obvious differences in the woody plants at the top and the bottom. The relative abundance and evenness of distribution of different species, however, is hard to ascertain by ordinary observation, hence various methods of sampling are used to determine more exactly what are the distributional relationships of various species. Strip and sample …
Certain Floristic Affinities Of The Trees And Shrubs Of The Great Smoky Mountains And Vicinity, Stanley A. Cain
Certain Floristic Affinities Of The Trees And Shrubs Of The Great Smoky Mountains And Vicinity, Stanley A. Cain
Butler University Botanical Studies
It is widely admitted that the forests of eastern United States reach their culmination in the southern Appalachians, particularly in the Unaka range of North Carolina and Tennessee. It is in the mountains of this range that the greatest height east of the Rocky mountains is reached; in the Black mountains with Mt. Mitchell, the Craggy mountains and the Great Smoky mountains, with some forty peaks over 6,000 feet in altitude, and with Mt. Guyot and Clingman's Dome topping them all. Here on these lofty peaks (for many of them rise over a mile in altitude above their base), in …
Chromosome Numbers In Ten Species Of Quercus, With Some Remarks On The Contributions Of Cytology To Taxonomy, Ray C. Friesner
Chromosome Numbers In Ten Species Of Quercus, With Some Remarks On The Contributions Of Cytology To Taxonomy, Ray C. Friesner
Butler University Botanical Studies
It is becoming increasingly more apparent that for the solution of many of the difficult problems in the field of taxonomy, we must take into consideration the work of the cytologist. A very large number of what we may call cytological-taxonomic studies have appeared during the past decade. These have thrown much light upon such taxonomic problems as the origin, evolution , and relationship of a species within polymorphic genera; the determination of the limits of subgenera and of variable species with numerous supposed variations, and the probable relationship of supposed natural hybrids.
An Ecological Study Of The Heath Balds Of The Great Smoky Mountains, Stanley A. Cain
An Ecological Study Of The Heath Balds Of The Great Smoky Mountains, Stanley A. Cain
Butler University Botanical Studies
The inhabitants of the Great Smoky mountains usually refer to the heath communities under consideration as "slicks" or "balds." The former name is derived from the smooth appearance they present on the ridges and mountain tops when viewed from a distance and which is entirely misleading, for they are extremely rough and tangled. The name "bald" refers to the absence of trees, these areas being exclusively occupied by shrubs. The term "heath bald" is used in this paper to include all such treeless areas dominated by members of the order Ericales. The use of the term "heath" is not entirely …
