DR. BAKER RETURNS.
Head of Forestry Department Agani
Resumes Duties
Absence
After an absence of eighteen
months, spent in lor cign travel and
study, Di nigh P Baker has re
turned to take up the voi k of the
second semestci His mission
abroad was to ascei tam es hat is be
ing done in ai ions commies in the
field of foie-Ai y and especially in
the work of reforesting Vlaste lands.
He spent sorne time in Pr ussia
looking. Met the ,planting up of
sandy lands Nety similar to
our sandy barrens and to thedand
in the region of the Lake States.
Six weeks were spent in Fiance,
principally in Gascony, where a
whole province has been added to
the country by the reforestation of
sand chines
Dr. Bake' considered the most
interesting region that at Karst,
near Trieste, in Austria, where there
is a large area similar to the lime
stone hills of Pennsylvania. The
'region was heavily forestal in early
tidies, but was cut over when
Venicedeveloped her navy, ancbhas
been waste land ever since. The
Austrian Govertment is reforesting
the area with Austrian Pine, at a,
very great cxpeni.e, due to heavy
floods and to the hard north winds
from the Alps. Aftei the work is
completed it us hoped to form an
agricultmal province of the region.
Aftei visiting four or five of the
best finest expel mein stations,
Dr: Baker i, eon\ inced that we need
something of the kind in America
for the furthouaice of t xpei imental
work The mo,t inteieuing sta
tions were tho:e at Vienna and
Zurich, while the one; at Munich
and Tubingen were also veil y in
structive. At the conclusion of his
work, Di. Baker studied for three
semesters in the University of
Munich, where he gamed hi, doc
tbr's degi cc. the the:os he sub
mitted was a study of our Western
prairies, the causes of then' treeless
ness, and the possibilities foi the
practice of forestry 011 them.
It is Di. Balcer' , , belief that any
man who has had some prac
tice in this country would profit
greatly by IT trip through the for
ests of Europe, especially by a
study of examples of reforestation
of waste lands rind of the NV 011 C of
regulating sit cam fiow and the run
off from mo The study of
intensive methods of foieiztly would
be of eompacat.i\ ely little value.
The them et cal principles Lie the
same foi tic s cannily as foi
European counttics, but the con
ditions are chtfet ent And although
our methods may resemble more
and more those of Europe, yet the
conclitiOns here will probably never
be the same The iciests are all

Mr. G. 0. Shields a Good Lecturer
An interesting lecture was deliv
eied on Saturday evening in the
Auditorium by Mr. G. 0. Shields,
Piesident of the League of Ameri . -
can Sportsmen.
The lecture might be called
"Hunting with , a Camera". He
showed many interesting pictures of
birds and wild animals with which
we are familiar in every day life,
but he showed, not only with
pictures but by his talk, the good
characteristics of our ordinary wild
animals. His one strong point
dealt with the preservation of birds
and on little water animals, the
heavcr, the murkrat and the like
The advantages to be gained by
man by protecting these little
animals can plainly be seen if one
makes s study - of animal lile as has
Mr. Shields.
The lecture, which was under the
fiee )ectuie course, was greatly ap
preciated by the large audience, if
applause and interest may be taken
as a meal s of appreciation.

THE SENIOR COTILLION
Dance Held by the Senior Class
Last Saturday Night Was Well
Attehded and a Pronounced Suc-
One of the most commendable
enteipiises started in recent years is
the giving of a series of dances by
the Senioi class And it is a source
of great gratification to all concern
ed to know that the first Cotillion
of the series, given in McAllister
hall on Saturday night, was re
markably successful in every way.
The dance was attended by about
fifty couples, and many, of the
pi ominent ladies of the faculty cir
cle acted as patronesses. McAllis
ter hall was tastefully decorated for
the occasion with college and class
pennants. The music, furnished
by the College Orchestra, was given
in excellent manner.
This new custom, for we feel sure
that after its' successful beginning it
will become a permanent custom,
is the result of a desire on the part
of the senior class to have as a
preogative of the reigning class an
event distinctly their own, and one
which would be looked forward to
by the other classes with pleasurable
anticipation. Four dances, given at
intervals during the year, will be a
pleasant relaxation from study and
a means of promoting stronger ties
between men who are completing
their course. Credit is due the class
of 1911 fot their enterprise in start
ing the custom, and to the commit
tee which made possible the suc
cess of the first dance of the series.
MEMO
Satisfaction was expressed, not
only by the seniors and their part
nets but also by the patronesses.
Too often the patronesses at the
Pennsylvania Day and Commence
ment dances have a rather monoto
nous evening, but on Saturday
arrangements were made for them
to take part in the dancing, and all
were pleased at, the courtesy shown
them. To 1911 we wish success in
the dance. that are to follow during
this season, and to future senior
classes, a pleasant continuation of
the Senior Cotillion.

Professor Linville's Article.
C. P. Linville has an article in the
Dec. 29th, number of the Iron
Trade Review on" The Determination
o; Moistate in the Air-Blast at a
Blast Fut naces."
This article shows a simple method
of installing a psychrometer at Blast
Furnace, outlines the method of mak
ing observations, and computations
necessary;and points out some of the
common errors and difficulties in
the making of such observations. A
chart is also given, which can be
used for determining graphically the
amount'of moisture present, greatly
simplifying the work of making the
computations. The results obtained
by a direct reading from the chart
giving grains of water vapor per
cubic foot air, measured at staniard
conditions.
In view of the interest being shown
in the general subject of moisture in
the air, and its effects upon blast
furnace operation, this article should
prove of great value to Blast Fur
nace companies, and superintendents
who_ are investigating the effects - if
moisture on the working of their fur-
