Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete
Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete
Conservation and Survey Division
Since the use of concrete is becoming so general it seems quite appropriate that the tests of concrete in which any Nebraska material forms a constituent part should be recorded where they may be obtained by those interested.. The following tests were made in the Testing Laboratory of the University of Nebraska, and though very limited in number may be expressive of the qualities of concrete mixed from these materials.

Evidence Of Man In The Loess Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
AFTER careful investigation the writer stands ready to announce his belief in the occurrence of human remains in the loess of this state, and for this primitive type he has proposed the name Nebraska loess man. Such importance attaches to the discovery as to warrant a paper devoted to the geological facts connected therewith.

On The Origin And Definition Of The Geologic Term "Laramie", A. C. Veatch
United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications
INTRODUCTION
Investigations of the United States Geological Survey during the summer of I906, covering the larger part of the Laramie exposures on the Laramie Plains, examined by the King and Hayden surveys, have revealed many new and important facts bearing on the Laramie problem.
By detailed areal surveys it was found: (1) that the lignitiferous series, which in the Laramie Plains lies between the Montana below and the Fort Union above, and has a maximum thickness of about 12,500 feet, is divided about the middle by an unconformity; (2) that this unconformity is in the same stratigraphic plane and continuous …

Report Of The Geological Expedition Of Hon. Charles H. Morrill. Season Of 1906, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
THE MORRILL geological expedition of the University of Nebraska for the season of 1906 continued the work of the previous season by developing the bone quarry on University Hill, at Agate, Sioux County, Nebraska. This quarry is situated on the eastern extremity of Mr. James Cook's ranch, which is an extensive one, and probably the best known in the state. In addition to the uplands it contains some ten square miles along the valley of the Niobrara. The high bluffs adjacent to and beyond this model ranch are fossiliferous, while at Carnegie Hill and University Hill there are literal bone …

The Nebraska Geological Survey as now constituted has been in operation since 1891, but it has enjoyed state aid during the past four years only. Considering the size of the commonwealth and the limited appropriations for geological work, unusual progress has been made. Since no report covering the work of the first biennium was prepared it will be included incidentally in this paper. Briefly stated the Nebraska Geological Survey during the past biennium has devoted especial attention to the industrial resources of the state, prepared ten o! twelve reports in manuscript form, published eight reports completing volumes I and II, …
Opening Of The Indian Territory, G. E. Condra
Opening Of The Indian Territory, G. E. Condra
Conservation and Survey Division
The opening of Indian country has continued from Colonial days to the present. Usually it has resulted from force and treaty, the strong dispossessing the weak. As a result, the Red man has, in general, moved frontierward, ahead of industrial waves, remaining for a longer time only on reservations set aside for tribes. The Indian's struggle even on these reserves has been a losing one, resulting largely from war, disease, and the cupidity of whites. History shows that Indian life and Indian institutions have not prevailed against the white man's civilization and commerce. GATHERING THE TRIBES. The Indian Territory and …

Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Conservation and Survey Division
Unconsciously or otherwise an investigator is often influenced to see that which seems confirmatory rather than that which is contradictory to his conceptions and beliefs. But in conducting the search for evidence of human remains in the Pleistocene the writer has striven against this psychological tendency and has aimed to be severely critical and exact.

Notice Of A New Miocene Rhinoceros, Diceratherium Arikarense, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
THE accompanying sketches represent the skull of a species of rhinoceros, Diceratherium arikarense, supposedly new, discovered by the geological expedition of 1905, sent from the University of Nebraska by the Hon. Charles H. Morrill to the Loup Fork beds at Agate, Nebraska, on the ranch of Mr. James Cook.
The genus Diceratherium was established by Marsh in 1875 on material from the Miocene beds near the John Day River in eastern Oregon, and two species, armatum and nanum, were recognized. A third species, advenum, was based on material from the Eocene (possibly Miocene) of Utah. Difference of horizon, …
A Workable Bed Of Coal In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
A Workable Bed Of Coal In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
ALTHOUGH for years past the state legislature of Nebraska has offered a bounty amounting to four thousand dollars for the discovery of a twenty-six-inch bed of workable coal, and five thousand for a thirty-six-inch bed, it is only within the past few days that any one has filed with the governor legitimate claims for the bounty. The bed of coal recently exposed, near Peru, Neb., extending some forty-two feet along the sides of a tunnel back from the banks of Honey Creek, seems to be fully thirty-four inches in thickness, as measured by the writer. This is known as the …

Report Of The Tenth Geological Expedition Of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, Season Of 1905, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
The season of 1905 marked a renewal of paleontological activity in the University of Nebraska, since it so happened that for the first time in several years funds became available again for the prosecution of such work.
By virtue of the liberal support and patronage of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, of Lincoln, annual geological expeditions, essentially paleontological in character, had been maintained in connection with the state university since 1892. In 1901, though his interest in the work AS well as his good will continued, his patronage ceased. This was wholly due to the overcrowded condition of the state museum, …

The Morrison Formation And Its Relations With The Comanche Series And The Dakota Formation, T. W. Stanton
United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications
The beds now generally designated on U. S. Geological Survey maps as the Morrison formation have been a subject of interest and discussion since I877, when abundant remains of dinosaurs were found in them. The first extensive collections of the vertebrate fauna were obtained in the neighborhood of Morrison near Denver, -in Garden Park, near Canyon City, Colorado, and at Como, or Aurora, Wyoming. Since then the formation has been recognized by means of its fossils, its lithologic features, and its stratigraphic relations in the Black Hills, on the Laramie Plains, and elsewhere in Wyoming, in Montana, in western Colorado, …
Electric Double-Refraction In Carbon Disulphide At Low Potentials, Gustaf W. Elmen
Electric Double-Refraction In Carbon Disulphide At Low Potentials, Gustaf W. Elmen
University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers
When light polarized at an angle of forty-five degrees to the lines of force is passed through certain dielectrics, between two parallel electrodes, they become double-refracting. The difference of phase, delta, between the two components of light at right angles and parallel to the lines of force, as represented by Kerr and verified by later investigators, is
δ = ± BP2l/a2
where B is the electro-optic constant, depending on, the dielectric, I the length, and a the distance between the plate' electrodes in centimeters, and P the difference of potential between the electrodes in C.G.S. units.

The Graphical Representation Of Magnetic Theories, Harold N. Allen
The Graphical Representation Of Magnetic Theories, Harold N. Allen
Department of Physics and Astronomy: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The induction theory of magnetism, introduced by Faraday, is now looked upon by all physicists as correct. The older theory which assumes the existence of magnetic fluids covering the ends of the magnet is in some cases mathematically simpler, and is for this reason often made use of. This, however, is apt to breed confusion as to the true nature of the induction or polarization in any given case. The difficulty Tyndall experienced in accepting Faraday's views as to diamagnetism, is accounted for by the fact that he was thinking in terms of the fluid theory, while Faraday was considering …
Present Knowledge Of The Distribution Of Daimonelix, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Present Knowledge Of The Distribution Of Daimonelix, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
Daimonelix when first discovered, in 1891, was thought to be confined to the elevated tablelands of central Sioux County, Nebraska. In the meantime its range has been extended and it is now known almost throughout the entire Arikaree formation, a tract probably about five hundred miles in diameter, situated in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado. The more fibrous forms of Daimonelix constitute a character so constant as to justify the name Fibrous Arikaree for the upper half of the formation.

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
IN spite of the phenomenal heat of the summer of 1901, which was of such intensity and duration that active work in the field was finally suspended, enough progress was made to justify the presentation of the matter to this society. It should be reported, first of all, that a request for funds, amounting to twelve hundred dollars, for publishing the first reports of the state geological survey, was presented to the Legislature, and was passed April 1, 1901, without comment or dissent. This may be recorded as the first sum voted by the state for the examination and publication …
