Factors Of Extinction, Herbert Osborn Jan 1901

Factors Of Extinction, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While we have come to recognize clearly the fact of extinction of animal types and their replacement by other forms of life there appears to have been less attention to the special factors concerned in such extinction, or, to put it differently we have been devoting our attention especially to the factors concerned in the production of new types, the variation and evolution of animals, rather than the factors of extinction. It is true that these may bear a close relationship and present mutual dependencies and possibly we might take them as necessary corollaries or consider factors of extinction as …


Menke's Method Of Preparing Hyponitrites, Alfred N. Cook Jan 1901

Menke's Method Of Preparing Hyponitrites, Alfred N. Cook

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Hyponitrites were first prepared in 1871 by Edward Divers by reducing an alkaline nitrate in water solution by means of sodium amalgam. About seven years later A. E. Menke, of Kings College, London, obtained a compound by heating cast iron filings with sodium nitrate which Professor Bloxam suggested to be the compound discovered by Dr. Divers. An analysis of the sodium determined as sodium sulphate and an analysis of the nitrogen determined as ammonia yielded the theoretical amounts of these elements, all within the limits of experimental error. On drying at 100° C. it lost in weight corresponding to three …


The Sioux City Water Supply, Alfred N. Cook, C. F. Eberly Jan 1901

The Sioux City Water Supply, Alfred N. Cook, C. F. Eberly

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A good water supply is one of the greatest boons man can possess. Notwithstanding this fact, it is the one thing above all others, almost, which is likely to receive the least attention. It is well known to those who have given the subject some study that the taste is no criterion by which to judge a water. So often have we known men to declare that a certain water was good because of its excellent taste, often due to chlorides, nitrates, etc., derived from sewage, or outhouses not far distant. So often men will provide their families with every …

Paroxymetamethylacetophenone And Some Of Its Derivatives, J. G. Goodwin Jan 1901

Paroxymetamethylacetophenone And Some Of Its Derivatives, J. G. Goodwin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Work leading toward the preparation of this and if possible toward one of its isomers, was commenced with work on phenol. First the phenyl acetate was made as follows: forty-one grams of phenol were taken in a distilling flask, and to this were added gradually, through a reflux condenser (in hood) twenty-eight to thirty grams (excess) of acetyl chloride. The flask was heated in a water-bath until the HC1 ceased to come off. The contents of the flask were then washed with a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide brought into a separating funnel with water, and the oil separated, dried …


Preliminary Notes On The Flora Of Western Iowa, Especialy From The Physiographical Ecological Standpoint, L. H. Pammel Jan 1901

Preliminary Notes On The Flora Of Western Iowa, Especialy From The Physiographical Ecological Standpoint, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In this preliminary paper I shall consider briefly only the ecological conditions of the flora, chiefly in the counties of Harrison and Pottawattamie, with brief references also to the flora of the adjoining counties. The writer has spent some time in a study of the flora of western Iowa, but much more work needs to be done before the subject is entirely completed. The region is of great interest from the botanical standpoint because this flora has many plants which are common to the western flora.


The University Of Montana Biological Station, Maurice Ricker Jan 1901

The University Of Montana Biological Station, Maurice Ricker

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Noticeable among recent movements tending to promote the interests of biological science is the development of the inland biological station. Any arrangement whereby students and teachers may work under proper guidance out of doors, in nature's own laboratory, should be encouraged. Our own state made a beginning last summer at Lake Okoboji. I sincerely hope it may become permanent and that many teachers in Iowa will avail themselves of the opportunity to combine a pleasurable outing with profitable field and laboratory work in Natural Science.

Presidential Address - The Relation Of Physics To The Other Material Sciences, A. A. Veblen Jan 1901

Presidential Address - The Relation Of Physics To The Other Material Sciences, A. A. Veblen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The last year or two of the nineteenth century and this first year of the twentieth have been prolific in literature dealing in one way or another with science topics. There have been addresses before learned and educational gatherings, articles in science journals, and in periodicals of well-nigh all kinds, much of all this writing having been produced by the masters and leaders of science; and the object of these productions has been, generally, to give a view of the present condition and importance of scientific work and knowledge, or to review recent progress either of science in general or …


A Devonian Hiatus In The Continental Interior - Its Character And Depositional Equivalents, Charles R. Keyes Jan 1901

A Devonian Hiatus In The Continental Interior - Its Character And Depositional Equivalents, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In Iowa, with our nearly 500 feet of Devonian sediments, we are not apt to think very much about a possibility of the lack of this great system soon after the boundaries of our state are passed. Yet the possibility is an actuality. In west-central Missouri it has been lately found that no rocks of Devonian age are represented. The lower Carboniferous strata rests directly upon Ordovician dolomites.

The following analyses were made several years ago for Mr. E. P. Boynton, the city engineer of Cedar Rapids. The clays were taken from four companies in Des Moines; each having their plant in a different part of that city.


Pleuroptyx In The Iowa Coal Measures, J. A. Udden Jan 1901

Pleuroptyx In The Iowa Coal Measures, J. A. Udden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

At a horizon of some hundred feet above the base of the Coal Measures in Fairfield Township in Jefferson County is a seam of a concretionary limestone varying from two to five feet in thickness. It crops out on the hillside in a creek that follows the south side of the abandoned embankment of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, where this leaves the new line, about a mile and a half west of the city of Fairfield. The ledge has been quarried in several places close to the line of the old road, where some pits are still seen. …

A Study In The Hereditary Transmission Of Finger Patterns, A. A. Veblen Jan 1901

A Study In The Hereditary Transmission Of Finger Patterns, A. A. Veblen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

By finger patterns is meant figures formed by the minute papillary ridges upon the inside surface of the last joint of the thumb and fingers. They are most conveniently studied by inking the fingers with printer's ink and making impressions on paper or any smooth light surface to which the ink will adhere. Sir Francis Galton in his work "Finger Prints" and other publications, treats the subject of these patterns exhaustively and scientifically. The patterns are of practically infinite variety. They are also persistent and unchanging through the life of the individual, and are destroyed or obliterated only by violent …
