In accordance with the usual custom, manuscripts to be presented at the next meeting of the Institute must be in the hands of the, Secretary before July 1, 1917. Manuscripts to be properly distributed in advance of the meeting must be in the hands of the Secretary before June 1, 1917. At the last meeting of the Institute 45 papers were presented, and 42 of them were actively discussed. This experience makes us believe that advance distribution is the best possible means of getting a good discussion of papers and of securing for them the interest of the members of the profession. It will be impossible, however, to give the papers proper distribution if they bare not received before June 1, 1917.

The following paragraph of appreciation of the Engineering Societies Employment Bureau is from the letter of a young engineer who found the Bureau of service. "I wish to sincerely thank you for the services rendered. They are of immense value to anyone located as I am, in a small town without the opportunities for keeping in touch with openings in manufacturing lines."

A series of commercial titanium diboride powders have been characterized in terms of X-ray crystallography, composition, particle size distribution, and particle shape. These materials were used in sintering experiments from which the effect of impurities on the sintering temperature was observed. Transmission electron microscopic observations have been made on Ion milled and chemically milled hot pressed material. Dislocations have been observed as well as grain boundary phases. Limited bonding between grains seems to account for poor mechanical properties. Observations have been made of preferred crystallographic orientation in hot pressed material.

ERRATA In the paper (Mining Technology, January 1943) Page 19, second column. Line 5 should read: of Lower Huronian and Early Middle Huronian. Page 20, second column, line 17. Read magmatic solutions instead of magnetic solutions. In the discussion (Mining Technology, September 1943) On page 2 of this discussion pamphlet there is a typographic error. In the chemical analysis, the first reaction should read: CaCO3 + H2O = CaO2H2 + CO2 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MINING AND METALLURGICAL ENGINEERS

In the spring of 1935 the authors undertook to compare the geomagnetic and direct-current carth-resistivity methods of tracing a concealed dike along its strike. An area near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was selected, where a diabase dike was known. For rapid reconnaissance the magnetic method offers several advantages ovcr the electrical. The resistivity method is useful in determining the position of underground water, a factor of consideration in regions where mining is contemplated. All factors considered, the coincidence between the positions of the dike as determined by the two methods is striking.

HENRY G. MARTIN,* Chicago Heights, 111. (written discussion?).-. The object in taking three or more ladle tests is to secure a sample that will show the average composition of the heat, not primarily to investigate the lack of uniformity existing; however, the assumption that the samples are not of uniform composition -remains. In other words, we have three samples of steel of different composition, the par-ticles of which are not subject to extreme comminution so as to mix inti-mately, and yield an average homogeneous sample, if placed in one

The mines of the country are called upon to bear a very large part of the enormous taxes to be raised for 1917 and later years. The Internal Revenue Bureau, which is charged with the assessment and collection of these taxes, desires that the taxation laws shall be administered in a fair and business-like way. The application to mines, however, which have wasting assets, involves questions of particular complication and difficulty. To meet this situation, there has been established in. the Income Tax Branch, a Section of Mine Valuation in which these specific problems of the industry will be handled by competent engineers. But it is realized that something more than this is required for the satisfactory application of the tax laws to the mines, namely, as complete understanding as possible between the Government and the taxpayer, a spirit of cooperation as between the two and every possible assistance and advice from mine owners and mining engineers.

Illinois Mining Institute, 224 South Michigan Ave , Chicago, Ill. B. E Schonthal, Secretary. In 1929, 1930 and 1931, the Institute published the Proceedings of its meetings The volumes of the Proceedings are a record of the papers and discussions presented at the two meetings each year and deal with coal mining in Illinois. The Proceedings will be sent to those particularly interested on receipt of sufficient postage to cover mailing
