Is The Loess Of Aqueous Origin?, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Organic remains furnish the best criterion for the measure of conditions which prevailed during any given age of the earth's geological history, provided, of course, that their relation to the deposit can be clearly shown.

The Aftonian And Pre-Kansan Deposits In Southwestern Iowa, H. Foster Bain

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

he Aftonian deposits of southwestern Iowa have peculiar interest in that within the area is the type locality for the Aftonian. So far neither the drift of the region nor the Aftonian as a unit has received a general discussion. The references to the beds extant are merely incidental to broader studies. The type locality and several other critical exposures have been visited by many geologists but no one has presented a complete account of the beds in question.

Do The Lower Animals Reason?, C. O. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

For the average layman to enter into a discussion involving psychological matters is surely a rather hazardous proceeding and indicates a temerity that needs some apology. Your speaker, although not a psychologist, has become greatly interested in the evidences of mind that have impressed themselves upon him in his study of animals, and has had his interest greatly stimulated by the perusal of the works of two writers, one of whom discusses animal psychology from the side of the naturalist, and the other from the side of the psychologist. With the latter writer I have been led into the most …

Drift Section At Oelwein, Iowa, Grant E. Finch

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Just outside the limits of the growing town of Oelwein, Iowa, to the southeast, the Chicago Great Western Railroad company, in order to lessen a troublesome grade, have excavated a cut nearly a mile in length. At the end farthest from the town, where it passes diagonally through a ridge, it has a maximum thickness of thirty-two feet. This ridge has a northwest-southeast trend, and is one of the ordinary gentle swells characteristic of the drift of this region.

Proceedings Of The Eleventh Annual Session Of The Iowa Academy Of Sciences: Staff & Committee Reports, G. E. Finch, A. A. Veblen, A. G. Leonard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The eleventh annual session of the Iowa Academy of Sciences was held in committee room No. 1 of the capitol building in Des Moines, December 29 and 30, 1896. In business sessions the following matters of general interest were acted upon.

Evidence Of A Sub-Aftonian Till Sheet In Northeastern Iowa, S. W. Beyer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Until very recently, geologists working in Iowa have been content to refer the various boulder clays represented in the state to two till sheets, a so called "upper" and "lower," separated in many places by the "forest beds" of McGee, or in other localities by gravels, often in conjunction with a vegetal horizon, the Aftonian of Chamberlin.

A Mad Stone, T. Proctor Hall, Ernest E. Frisk

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Here and there is found a man possessing a pebble for which he claims the remarkable power of preventing hydrophobia when applied to the wound made by a mad dog. We have been unable to find any record of a scientific examination of a mad stone or a scientific test of its properties. This may be partly accounted for by the rarity of the stone, and the high esteem in which they are held by their owners. A popular idea is that they are formed by accretion in a deer's stomach.

Physical Theories Of Gravitation, T. Proctor Hall

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A force which belongs to individual atoms, is independent of chemical and physical conditions, and cannot be altered or destroyed by any known means, must be closely related to the fundamental nature of the atoms. One of the most essential parts in our concept of matter is mass, and the force of gravitation of an atom is proportional to its mass. Mass and gravitation stand, therefore, either as co-effects of the same cause or as cause and effect. The force exerted by each atom at any point decreases in proportion to the increase of the expanding spherical surface containing the …

Annual Address Of The President - Needed Changes In Scientific Methods, H. W. Norris

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

We live in a period that sees wonderful attainments in science and art, so that in theory and practice many think the summum bonum has been reached. It is pre-eminently the age of science and the application of scientific methods to all phases of human activity. The forces of nature have been made subject to the will of man. The relations of man to his surroundings have been carefully considered. The province of human intellect has been made the ground of scientific investigations. We now see scientific methods foremost and uppermost, and all human thought is more or less permeated …

Origin And Significance Of Sex, C. C. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This paper is not presented as a contribution to our knowledge of the subject of the origin of sex, so much as an attempt to express concisely a theory of sex drawn from various sources, but principally from a work on the "Evolution of Sex" by Geddes & Thomson, a work which seems to me to mark an epoch in the science of philosophical biology.

A Theory Of The Loess, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Some years ago in an article entitled "The Loess and Its Fossils," the writer advanced certain opinions the modification of which seems to be called for by subsequent investigation and thought. In that paper it was shown, principally from a study of the fossils, that the theory of the lacustrine origin of the loess, held with very few exceptions by American writers, is untenable, and that the origin of the loess in violent fluviatile floods, also sometimes suggested, is equally improbable, and the theory was there offered that the deposit was formed in ponds and lakes similar to those which …

County Parks, T. H. Macbride

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The title of this paper would seem to require little definition. By county parks are meant simply open grounds available for public use in rural districts, as are city parks in towns. There is nothing new in the idea; it is simply an effort to call back into public favor the once familiar public "common." This does not, however, refer simply to public land such as government land, to be claimed and plundered by the first comer, nor, indeed, to land to be used by the public indiscriminately at all, but to land devoted to public enjoyment, purely to the …

Chemical Analysis Of Soils, G. E. Patrick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

There is hardly a subject upon which the opinions of chemists differ more widely than upon that of the utility of soil analysis, as a means of judging of the present crop-producing power of soils, or of ascertaining in what particular element or elements their store of available plant-food most needs replenishing in order to restore or increase fertility. This difference of opinion is not because any one questions the efficiency of chemical analysis in determining the total amount of the several plant-food elements present in the soil. That is easily done. The difficulty lies in determining how much of …

A Study Of The Physical Properties Of Solutions Of Lithium Chloride In Amyl Alcohol, Launcelot W. Andrews, Carl Ende

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

There can be no doubt that much light can be thrown upon the nature of electrolytic processes by a systematic examination of electrolytes containing no water; for the principles of the Electrolytic Dissociation Theory, if general, must be valid, not only for solutions in water, but also for all others, and conclusions derived from the study of the former can best receive independent confirmation or rebuttal by a careful investigation of the latter. The questions upon which such an investigation should bear are chiefly these: 1. Does Ostwald's Law of Dilution hold good for non-aqueous solutions? 2. In what way …
