Notice. into We intended that the first issue of the R E C O RD should get the hands of every person connected with the College, either as student some or employe; but possibly were missed. We therefore send this copy to all such, and desire to call attention to the arrangement re garding subscriptions. By resolu tion of the Board of Agriculture the subscription price of the R E C O RD has been made 50c per year to all w ho wish to receive the paper regularly. Students subscribing will have a copy of the paper sent to their par ents, or guardians, regularly, free. Subscribers may have the R E- cord" sent to their friends, not at the College, regularly, for 10c per year, extra. , - We hope and expect that every one on the grounds will feel it not only a privilege but a duty to sub scribe to the R E C O R D. T he paper is published by the College and must be made as nearly self-sustain ing as possible. To that end a fine line of advertising from Lansing merchants has been secured, and we have already obtained a large num ber of subscriptions from the faculty and students, although we have been unable to make a complete can vass of the College. Please leave your subscription, as soon as possible, with' M r. F. C. Kennev, t he cashier r m the ,^ecre- tary's office. We are prepared to supply the first three numbers of the year to those w ho subscribe now. A Model Cold Storage Building. M. A. C. now has one of the best small cold storage buildings in the country. In general plan and di mensions our building is the same as the one at the Geneva, N. Y., E x periment Station, but the outer wall construction of the two differs much. T he building stands facing the north about midway between the " H o r t" barn and the grain barn. T h e re are two natural temperature rooms, each 25 feet by 20 feet, one on the ground floor and the other in the basement directly beneath, in which it is designed to store the bulk of the fruit crop. A ir enters these rooms through a 10 inch tile flue extending to a point 100 feet from the building, and escapes through ventilating flues leading to the cupola. In the north end of the basement is a room 25 feet by 10 feet, in which fruit will be preserved at a temperature of 35 °. Cold air will descend from the ice room above and being slightly warmed by passing over the fruit will ascend from the other side of the room, pass again over the ice and down to the base ment, thus keeping up a constant circulation. In order that the bulk of the fruit may not be disturbed too frequently, a small show room has been pro vided on first floor, in which samples of each variety will be kept in slat bottomed trays convenient for ex amination. T he ice room is in the north east It is pro inclined corner of the building. vided with a tinned floor, so that the drip will pass off readily and find exit through the tile air flue before mentioned, at the same time cooling the air that enters the large store room. into three these strips is divided longitudinally T he outer walls of the building have been constructed with great care, the design being to secure as nearly as possible a wall that will be a perfect non-conductor of heat. T he frame is constructed of 2 in. x 4 in. studding placed 16 inches apart. T he air spaces between the stud longitudinal ding sections four feet high by cross- pieces. On the outside of the stud ding is a layer of heavy building paper, covered with matched hem flooring, outside of which is lock another layer of building paper. To this are nailed vertical strips one inch thick and two inches wide, six teen inches a p a r t; also similar strips feet placed apart. Against is placed extra heavy building paper, thus forming cells 34 in. x 14 in. x 1 in. T h en follows another series of strips and layer of building paper as before, forming another set of air chambers. Outside of all this is flooring. T h en a layer of matched come more 2 in. x 1 in. vertical strips, the siding, vertical air chambers which extend from the water-table to the eaves. In summer these outer air chambers will be left open at the bottom, so that the heated air can pass into the attic and out through .fop ..mr>pl.a without heating the interior of the building. T he inside wall is the same as the outside except that the second layer of flooring is replaced by ceiling. A cross-section of the wall would show one 4 inch air five space, five 1 inch air spaces, thickness of ceiling and siding and eight thicknesses of paper. forming, with arranged with A part of the south wall has been arranged for experiment, some sec tions being packed with coal cinders, and others from one to five partitions in the air chambers. All windows are double, with shutters on the outside. T he doors are somewhat similar in con struction to the outer walls, and all connections are as nearly air tight as possible. T he interior is finished in hemlock, except the show room, which is finished in Georgia pine. It Was Our Game. Last Saturday was the first time in years that an M. A. C. crowd has had opportunity to yell at an intercollegiate foot-ball game. It was a good day for the crowd and they came in large numbers. T h ey came out expecting to yell, and were not disappointed by the sturdy training so boys w ho have been faithfully during three weeks, though t he day w as most too warm for the players. the past At five minutes to three our boys trotted briskly to the center of the gridiron and began warming up. imme T h ey were followed almost diately by the supporters of the red. Promptly at three o'clock play was called. Olivet defended the south goal and M. A. C. had the kick-off. Becker sent the ball sailing forty yards into Olivet's territory. Olivet returning made several end gains, the ball to her 35 yard line, when W o o d w o r th broke through the line and captured the ball on a fumble. Several fumbles followed, and then the M. A. C. boys "struck their gait." T i me after time they broke Olivet's line for long gains through center, guard and tackle, and in nine minutes from the call of time had pushed the ball over for the first touch down. Russell kicked goal. Olivet kicked off 25 yards and Price brought the ball back 10 yards. Olivet held M. A. C for downs, but lost it almost immediate ly in the same way. Becker and Tate made long gains, and in nine minutes our boys had the ball over for the second touch-down. Russell failed in kicking for position. It took just 12 minutes to get the third touch-down, to which Olivet contributed 15 yards by an off-side play. Russell kicked goal, and the first half ended with the score 16 to o in favor of M. A. C. In the second half Olivet p ut H o w e, a one-armed man,- in center, who strengthened their line materi ally. Notwithstanding this our boys scored in eight minutes, but failed to kick goal. Soon after the ball was again put in play Olivet lost 15 yards on another off-side play. M. A. C. rushed the ball to Olivet's 40 yard line, then Brainerd made a brilliant break through Olivet's line and a run of 40 yards for a touch-down. T he next inning w as Olivet's. Baker at right end h a d' weakened from an injury in the first half, Brainerd at left half w as showing the result of 45 minutes of terrific work, and Fuller and Moore for Olivet made long gains around the ends. T h at they did not score much sooner was due to the brilliant tackles made by Smith of M. A. C. Olivet continued her fast work and finally pushed the ball over for her only touch-down, and kicked goal. this neither side scored. Bartholomew took Baker's place at right end. T he ball was in M. A. C.'s territory most of the remaining time, although the game ended on Olivet's 35 yard line with M. A. C. in possession of the ball. Final score: M. A.

Professor Mahan, dean of the Batjtle Creek College, came here Frijlay to investigate our system of student labor, with a view of intro ducing it at Battle Creek. Notwithstanding intensely dry weather the wheat in Sixteen and Six is as green as a lawn. the M r. F. H. Vandenboom, of Mar quette, a prominent dairy farmer of that section visited the College on Friday and Saturday. M r. Alfred Mann, a lumberman and woodenware merchant of Mil waukee, visited the College Friday to make inquiries about fruit and live stock. T he F a rm Department purchased lambs of ninety grade Shropshire Chas. Carl on Wednesday last, to be delivered in a couple of weeks, in time for the winter feeding. T he n ew dairy herd was moved into the new barn last T h u r s d a y. T he n ew barn is not yet completed fully, but will be in the next ew days, when a description of it will be given in the R E C O R D. A new side track has been put in by the D., G. R. & W. R. R., at the end of the College lane for side coal. T he tracking the College grading alongside of the track has now been completed, and hereafte; the coal will be hauled up the lant instead of being drawn from T r o w bridge. M. A. C. M en in the Institute By looking over the annual report of the Superintendent of Institutes we find that quite a number of M. A. C. men are active members of the local farmers' institute societies. A. J. Bracelin, with '71 is presi dent of the farmers' iustitute society in Allegan county and W. E. Bond, with '89, is secretary. E. O. Ladd, '78, Grand Traverse, is secretary in Grand Traverse county. Earl H. Dresser, with '84, Jonesville, occu pies a similar position in Hillsdale county. sides over the Montcalm county society, and J a m es Y. Clark, '85, keeps the minutes of the Oakland county society. C. B. Cook, '88, Owosso, and W. W. Bemis, '76, Ionia, record proceedings in their respective county societies. H o n. Oscar Palmer, Grayling, at one time a student here and. later a member of the Board of Agriculture, is presi dent of the Crawford county society. J o hn E. Taylor, '76, pre Slips of the T o n g u e.

M e c h a n i c al P r e c i s i o n. W. S. L E O N A R D. There is a saying t h at "Trifles m a ke perfection, b ut perfection is no trifle." This is t r ue in m a ny departments of It is especially applicable to t he life. mechanic a r ts a nd often to t he fine arts. Go into a ny museum of a r t; you will observe t h at some of t he stat ues receive b ut a passing notice while a real work of a rt is t he inspiration of an admiring throng. W h at is t he dif ference in t he t wo cases? F r om t he material standpoint t he difference ' is often inappreciable. T he merest touch es of t he chisel give t h at finish and per fection which distinguish t he master piece from the commonplace. %*««sJ- so with p a i n t i n g, only an expert can discover t he technical difference be tween a Michelangelo's Madonna a nd a work of less fame, b ut in t he former t he personality, t he very soul of t he subject, speaks from t he canvas, while the latter m ay have b ut little moral force. If now we t u rn our attention to t he mechanic arts, we find t he same prin ciple holds good. Take for instance a It m ay be filed simple 1" metal cube. to within half a h u n d r e d th of an inch of t he correct size a nd angle in a com paratively short time, b ut if we a t tempt to file it so close t h at t he best i n s t r u m e n ts will n ot detect a ny inac curacy t he cube m ay cost fifty times as much as t he less accurate one. T he time, t he money, t he skill is required to give the trifling touches t h at make the perfect cube. stipulate A screw two inches long a nd half an inch in diameter, good enough for gen eral work, can be bought for a few cents; b ut if - you t h at t he screw must be accurate in diameter and pitch to a quarter t h o u s a n d th of an inch, it will h a ve to be m a de to or der in one of t he few establishments prepared to do such fine work, and will cost m a ny times t he price of t he stock screw. The screw is probably used more t h an a ny other device k n o wn in engineering, a nd it is fortunate t h at perfection in i ts pitch is seldom r e quired. However, extreme accuracy is sometimes indispensable, as will pres ently be shown in reference to t he di viding engine built by Professor Rog ers of H a r v a rd College. There is in the S t a n d a r ds office in t he Tower of London a b ar of metal h a v i ng upon it two apart. These lines a re not made directly upon the bar but upon gold studs sunk into the bar, so t h at t he defining lines are lines exactly three feet standards. t h at a higher in t he n e u t r al axis of t he bar. This precaution is t a k en to obviate difficul ties from flexure, n o t w i t h s t a n d i ng t he bar rests upon a suitable support. It should be stated t h at t he t e m p e r a t u re is an i m p o r t a nt consideration in es tablishing Comparisons with t he British s t a n d a rd a re made in a t e m p e r a t u re of 62 F., b ut it h as been t e m p e r a t u re suggested should have been chosen as being less likely to be affected by h e at from t he body of t he person m a k i ng t he com parison. A copy of t he "imperial y a r d" is kept in W a s h i n g t o n, a nd these two yard sticks constitute t he standard of length for all who use t he English sys tem. To construct a machine capable of accurately dividing this yard was t he t a sk Prof. Rogers essayed to ac complish. Many creditable efforts h ad previous ly been made in this direction. Sir Joseph W h i t w o r t h, of E n g l a n d, h ad es tablished a reputation for work of this character, a nd Brown & Sharpe, of Providence, R. I., h ad a secret process which produced very fine results. To say t h at Prof. Rogers sought a closer degree of accuracy t h an h ad been ob tained by Brown & Sharpe is to indi cate t he exacting character of the work required. As intimated, an extremely accurate screw w as an indispensable requirement in t he proposed dividing engine, a nd t he W a l t h am W a t ch W o r ks w as selected as t he establish ment best equipped in tools a nd talent in which to conduct t he experiments. The work w as begun in J a n u a r y, 1887. In designing t he first machine Prof. Rogers w as assisted by Superin tendent Vanderwoerd, a m an of wide reputation in connection with astro nomical clocks a nd other fine work. This machine w as constructed some- wrracT»»-4"-he same principle as a metal shaper,. T he tool for m a k i ng t he l i n e s" was carried by a reciprocating r am a nd the work to be divided w as moved by the screw previously mentioned. To m a ke t h is screw sufficiently accurate was t he greatest problem in connection with t he machine. r u n n i ng In t h r e a d i ng a screw in t he l a t he t he blank on which t he thread is to be cut revolves with t he lathe spindle, and the carriage carrying t he cutting tool is automatically moved forward a dis tance equal to t he pitch of the thread for each revolution of t he lathe. This movement of the lathe carriage is ef fected by a screw in fixed bearings in t he lathe bed or frame, a nd in a n ut fixed to the carriage. It will readily be understood t h at in order to cut a perfect screw this lathe screw itself must be perfect, as well as other accompanying parts of the lathe. Prof. Rogers could find no lathe having a lead screw sufficiently accurate, so t h at the problem involved cutting a perfect lead screw. screw with an imperfect t h at An old mechanic would suggest having threaded t he screw as nearly right as possible t he r e m a i n i ng errors could be ground out by means of a nut, emery and oil. Never w as this lap ping process tried so persistently as was done by Prof. Rogers a nd his workmen. After months, a nd even years of this grinding they h ad failed to m a ke a "perfect" screw, and they finally concluded t h at while grinding would correct short inaccuracies, it would n ot remove errors of gradual increase, extending over six inches or more. They h ad now spent a b o ut f:ve years on this expermental machine, the most of t he time being consurred in threading a nd grinding different screws; and, while they had done some excellent work, t he "perfect" screw was still t he unsolved problem. B ut these y e a rs of p a t i e nt labor were not wasted. Prof. Rogers h ad learned "how not to do it," in reference to t he screw, w h i ch w as a valuable lesson; a nd t he other experiments h ad enabled him to settle upon an im proved design of m a c h i ne which would eliminate other sources of error. At t h is j u n c t u re t he experiments w e re stopped for a time, a nd w h en t he w o rk w as resumed a g a in it w as in Prof. Rogers' o wn shop in Boston. He took w i th him Mr. Ballou, one of t he me chanics w ho h ad assisted him from the beginning. Philosophizing on their experiments a nd failures, con ceived a b e t t er plan of m a k i ng t he screwr. In this l a t t er plan t he blank to be t h r e a d ed w as mounted in t he l a t he as before, a nd by m e a ns of a micro scope a nd other a p p a r a t us t he errors were noted a nd corrected for each half inch t r a v el of t he l a t he carriage. T h at is to say, t h at if t he tool h ad t r a versed a fraction too f ar or too short it Avas by m e a ns of t he compound rest b r o u g ht to a correct position for each half inch. This still left m i n u te errors which w e re corrected by grinding, a nd finished t he screw w as correct w h en to the one twenty-fifth of one one-thou s a n d th of an inch. t h ey less t h an seven m o n t hs in t he Boston after In s t a r t i ng shops Prof. Rogers h ad built a new machine a nd was doing practically perfect work. The experiments in t he W a l t h am shops had demonstrated t h at t he shaper de sign introduced errors due to deflection of t he ram, a nd t he n ew machine w as constructed after the design of a planer in which t he table reciprocates a nd t he m a r k i ng tool h as only t he screw move ment. In this final form, t he machine will accurately m a rk off t he s t a n d a rd yard into t he finest microscopic divis ions.
