Lab Measures Wave Changes From Satellite The lonosphere Research Lab is hitching a free ride on the Navy's Transit 4-A satel lite which went into orbit June 28, Dr. William J. Ross, associate professor of elec trical engineering, said. Ross said that although the satellite is primarily a naviga tional instrument, the lonosphere Lab is making free use of its sig nals to further studies of the earth's atmosphere. "The lonosphere Lab has been studying the physics and chemis try of the high atmosphere for the past 13 years and the new satellite method simply enables another piece to be fitted into place in the picture" Ross said. USING THE SATELtITE, Ross and his associates are studying the electron content of the iono sphere by measuring the changes in radio waves from the time they leave the sending station in the satellite until they are received on the ground. Electrons in the ionosphere cause life changes in radio waves and the greater the number of electrons. the more the waves are a fleet ed. A ground receiving station on this campus and one to be estab lished on the equator at Huan cayo, Peru, will be used in the program. THE TRANSIT SATELLITE is also being used to study scintil lation of radio waves caused by irregularities in the ionosphere. This is the tendency. of radio waves to "twinkle" in the same way that stars do. This effect One of the first acquisitions particularly pronounced at North-Ifor the PELT library was a book ern latitudes and is related to thelentitled, The Fru i t Grower's aurora borealis. or northern lights.

I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wil ,mington, Del., for instructional use. "The microscope, also known as a flying spot resolver, will be of great value to students in chemi cal microscopy," said Dr. Mary Willard, professor of chemistry. She said that the microscope counts particles electronically, thus insuring greater speed and accuracy in research. AT PRESENT there are only three such microscopes in oper ation in the United States. The others are at the Monsanto Chem ical Company, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Arrangements for the du Pont gift were made through Robert G. Scott, an alumnus now employed in the Light and Electron Micro scopy section of du . Pont's Experi ment Station, and Dr. Willard. The gift was authorized by T. L. Twilley, control manager of du Pont's Central Research Dept. in Wilmington. THE MICROSCOPE is a new type of electronic microscope de veloped by Rank Cintel, Ltd., London, England; •it provides automatic means of counting and sizing all kinds of particles. • John H. Graham, of Doyles town, a candidate for a master of science degree in chemistry, will operate the microscope during the coming academic year. SUMMER COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA b l UtCh St entSoys S • aster old A Netherlands "amazed" at the wastefulness of wood in this country. In the Netherlands, a country about the size of Pennsyl vaniahthere are 10 times as many people and the forests are not as numerous. The conservation of trees is carefully practiced there, Jacob M. Re meijn, graduate student, in fores try from the Netherlands, said. Remeijn was also surprised at the variety of species of trees here—over 100 major species in this area alone compared to 25 varieties of commercial value in his country. REMEIJN IS STUDYING here as part of his requirement for practical experience in forestry to earn his master's degree. He will complete his work at the Nether lands Agricultural University when he returns to his country in September. A new method of preparing trees for pulp wood cutting called "chemical debarking" is one of the practical experiments he is participating in. In this process, he explained, a "frill" is cut around the base of the tree and a special poison ap plied. The poison, over a period of a year, loosens the bark, sea sons the tree and dehydrates it, he said. The dry, debarked wood is easier to truck and quicker to process, he said. THE DUTCH, though limited in variety and abundance of trees, have a well-developed program on the science of forest genetics and have developed many superior tree strains, he said. Remeijn has also worked at the University's 6600 acre Stone Val ley experimental. forest in proj ects with the woodcutting crews. He has been working at the Forestry Summer Camp at Mt. Alto for the past month and returned to the campus Monday to continue his studies with Dr. Peter W. Fletcher, director of the school of forestry. ACL Council Elects Krauss Dr. Franklin B.
