Bulletin No. 38 - Preliminary Report On Seepage Water And The Underflow Of Rivers, Samuel Fortier

UAES Bulletins

Into a box holding one cubic foot, or seven and one-half gallons of dry sand, one can usually pour from two to three gallons of water without causing any overflow. If the particles of sand were of the same size and cubical in form, they could be packed into a solid mass; and a cubic foot, instead of weighing about 100 pounds--the average weight of dry quartz sand--would then weigh about 165 pounds. But sand grains are irregular in form, and come in contact with adjacent grains only at particular points, thus enclosing spaces or voids, which in dry sand …

Notice Of The Occurrence Of Nyctale Richardsoni, Richardson's Owl, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

THE occurrence in this region of Richardson's owl, Nyctale Richardsoni, seems to be entirely established by the recent capture of one in Lincoln. This is a long distance below its southern limit, and its appearance is something of a surprise.

The Winnebago County (Iowa) Meteorites, George F. Kunz, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, Joseph Torrey Jr.

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

A remarkable meteor, or meteoric shower, passed over this State at 5.30 P.M., Friday, May 2. In spite of the brightness of the sun, shining at the time in a nearly cloudless sky, the light of the meteor was very noticeable. Its great size, powerful illumination, discharge of sparks, comet-like tail three to five degrees in length, and the great train of smoke which marked its course for a full ten minutes after its passage, made a strong and lasting impression on the minds of all who saw it. Unfortunately the clamor over an exciting game of ball prevented the …

Some Impurities In Drinking Water, George Weitbrecht

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The more we know about the causes of disease the more we are convinced that many of the ills that flesh is heir to come to us through germs that are transmitted through the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat. You are all familiar with the westward march of cholera among men and epizooty among animals. In surgical operations the danger is not from the operation, but from germs which are in the air and which get into the body through the wound, producing surgical fever, etc. Since Lester used the carbolic acid spray …

The Ancient Copper Mines Of Isle Royale, N. H. Winchell

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Two papers were read in 1880, by Prof. Winchell, on the ancient copper mines of Isle Royale. After an account of the exterior phenomena of the mines, and an enumeration of the articles found in them, an inquiry was instituted as to the race that wrought them, and as to their relation to the Mound Builders, and to the Indians. As it has been admitted for several years that the Lake Superior miners were identical with the Mound Builders, the inquiry involved the examination of the relation of the Mound Builder to the present Indian. The characteristics of the Mound …
