THE BATTALION
Lantern Slide
Lecture Soon
Mr. E. B. Fine will appear in Col
lege on Saturday April 5th to deliv
er an illustrated lantern slide lecture
on the Rockies and the National
Park. Mr. Fine has been on the cam
pus before, and those who attended
his exhibition in 1920 enjoyed an
intei'esting and educational program.
Starting out with scenic photography
as a hobby Mr. Fine has developed
himself into a master of icolored pho
tography. He makes a tour every few
years under the auspices of the Colo
rado Chamber of Commerce. He has
retired from business, and carries or.
this work. Everyone interested is
invited to attend. The program will
start Saturday, April 5th, at 8 p. m.
ADAM AND EVE AND THE
APPLE.
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam
2—a total of 10 only. Now we figure
the thing out differently. Eve 8 and
Adams ate also—total of 16.
And yet the above figures are
entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam
82, certainly the total would be 90.
Scientific men, however, reason
something like this: Eve 81 and
Adam 82; a total of 163.
Wrong again. What could be clear
er than, if Eve 81 and Adam 812,
the total would be 893.

If Eve 81 1st and Adam 812,
would not the total be 1623?
Ahother solution: Eve 814 and
Adam 824, total 1638.
Still: If Eve. 814 Adam, 81242 ob
lige Eve—total 82,056.
We think this, however, not a
sufficient quantity. For though we
admit that Eve 814 Adam, Adams
if he 8081242 keep Eve company—
total 8, 082,056.
All wrong. Eve, when she 81812

for it, but her companion, in order

Exploration Party
Return to Havana
Refuse to Intimate Nature or Find
ings of Their Journey.
Their “mystery exploration” aban
doned until next December, with their
work only half completed, Command
er E. F. McDonald, Jr., arctic explor
er, returned to Havana, Cuba, re
cently with his party of archeologists
with whom he left Miami January 4,
on a mission given out as “secret.”
The iarcheologists intimated thjat
their work so far has been very suc
cessful, but they refused to comment
further upon it.
The group arriving here was com
posed of Commander McDonald, Dr.
George Fox, president of the Michi
gan Archeological Society; Dr. F. W.
Fritzgerald, Chicago archeologist;
John Lock, Charles Hanna and TJ- J-
Hermann, president of the Chicago
Library Board, and Dr. Baker Brow
nell, professor ,of archeology at,'
Northwestern University.
There is some speculation as to
whether the group is attenpting to
discover facts which would lead to the
ascertainment of the existence or
non existence of the anciently mythi
cal continent of “Atlantica.”
HEINE INVENTS
TYPE OF GLASSES
German Oculist Claims he is able to
Produce Eye-Fitting Disk.
Something new in glasses has been
invented by a German oculust here,
one Professor Heine, who claims that
he now has glass disks which fit un
der the eyes and take the place of
spectacles.
The glass is very thin, ground to
the measurement of the eye and then
fitted under the lid. The inventor
alleges that on can sleep with perfect
comfort with the glasses in place,
and that they will not steam up when
coming into a warm place from the
cold of the outer air.
The professor believes that women,
whose good looks are spoiled when
they don regulation spectacles, will
be glad to go over to the new idea, a
pair of which will cost in the neigh
borhood of twenty-five dollars.

Professor D. W. Williams seems
to have lost out in the contest with
Major Sloan concerning the partak
ing of meals at the Mess Hall for
the various banquets. At present
the Major has one on the head of
the Animal Husbandry Department.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
been fined 81,400 for failing to in
spect and properly fumigate car
loads of dirt moved from Edison’s old
town in New Jersey to Henry Ford’s
newly constructed town in Michigan.
The dirt was moved so that Edison’s
shack, in which he invented the elec
tric light, and which was brought to
Dearborn, might sit on native soil.

Never-ending
search for truth
Today, in a locked room in the Crane labora
tories, can be seen a cherry-red bar of metal.
In a specially devised air-tight cylinder, under
constant temperature of 1600° F., at fixed
stress, it is being given the xooo hour “flow”
test. At the same temperature, at various
stresses, it will be given the same test for the
same time-period.
The tests are being made at the request of an
oil man who has asked for valves for an exper
imental still, to operate at 1500° and 2500
pounds. Can he have them? At the end of the
exhaustive tests, Metallurgist L. W. Spring
will be able to tell him, exactly, authoritatively.
Since the first Crane chemical and testing
laboratory was founded in 1888, thousands
of similar questions so vital to safe and eco
nomical industrial progress, have been asked
and answered. The contribution made by
Crane metallurgists to scientific knowledge
of the reaction of metals under high pressures
and temperatures is known and respected
throughout the world, is familiar to every oil
man who has used the cracking process and
every engineer who has to do with piping.
The truths discovered and scientific data col
lected are embodied in a book, Pioneering in
Science. This is a reference manual invaluable
to engineering students. Write for your copy.
