J2tb, Lincoln ENGINEERING NIGHT FRIDAY Enginocr's Night is oho of tho nfost important ovonts of Engineer's Week. On this night all tho Enginorlng labor atories will bo running with a full force of etudonts at work just as thoy do regular laboratory days. Tho ma jority of peoplo aro busy each day and have no chanco o see- what is being done at tho University. Tho object of this "night work" is to provido an opportunity .for everybody to soo JuBt what an engineering courao Is. Spe cial invitation is oxtended to the shop man so ho may bo shown tho advant age of an engineering course over tho old time apprentice system. An in spection of these laboratories will bo very Interesting and Instructive oven to tho non-technical and, it Is hoped, will corrcot many erroneous ideas hold concerning this profession. Three laboratories will bo open tho civil, olectrical, and mechanical. On tho first floor of Mechanic Arts Hall tho Civil Engineers will make their display. Miie visitor will ue shown how any material is tostod to detormlno Its strength. In theso ma chines hugs knots aro tied in steel bars and large steel rods aro slowly pulled in two. Anothor interesting exhibit is the method of testing ce ment paving and general building ma terials to detormlno their relative value. In another room will bo shown tho various Instruments used by the surveyor In laying out railroads, and In other difficult feats that fall to tho lot of tho Civil Engineer. These will bo fully explained to tho visitor and should clear up many hazy Ideas con cerning -them.- Also in this room will "tKneochlbltod-tho druwlugs inudo-bytbo- students In the different years. The architectural department has somo very fine drawings made by tho stu dents in their school work, and the department of macnlne design has many sets of working drawings of var ious machines. Many samples of freshmen drawing will bo shown .and tho visitor will bo ablo to detect any lmprovemenl when tho student b( comes a senior. In tho Electrical Laboratory, tho results. of this wonderful force wnTbe ahown in many now ways. Tho latest forms of olectrical devices for power lioueo and railway use wilL bo. undor. golng actual tests. Some very mod ern electric lights will bo used for illumination and tho visitor will have explained to him any feature of elec tric, lighting. ho does, not understand. Ho will bo shown how his meter works and why somo lights cost more than others. Tho automatic telephone switchboard will bo another Interest ing feature as will the storage battery and the mercury arc rectifier. In the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory tho visitor will see a real factory layout. On tho first floor he will seo a modern and up-to-date ma--chine shop. Here tho twelve-inch equatorial telescope Is being assem bled. Across tho corridor Is tho -power laboratory? Here-are-englnes of all kinds being tested, also a com plete , hydraulic testing plant and an Ice machine. In the. foundry tho vlsl tor will bo ahown tho mystorlous--method of making molds and a heat will bd run at about 9 o'clock to give .the visitor an opportunity to see jUBt how a foundry works and what molten iron looks like. In tho forgo shop students will indulge in making tools and forginga under tho Btoam hammer. On tho second floor Is tho wood-working room. Hero is where tho fresh men havo their chanco to, become re fined carpenters. Many very difficult ly constructed wood articles will "bo displayed. At the special lathes will bo, students turning out patterns while pthera will bo at thevbenches fashion ing out by hand. In tho fuel testing laboratory one will see one of tho most complete layouts in this country for the testing of coal and oils, and everything will bo explained. In an dther room Is tho apparatus for heat ing and vontllatlon. In tho drafting room Is an electrical blueprinting ma chine. This will be In operation and tho vlBltor will bo shown tho myster ious method of obtaining a blueprint. Thus In a very short tlmo tho visi tor Is taken through a complote on glnoorlng courao with tho difficult -features 'eliminated. ZWI8CHEN TRINKEN. An onglncor there was, and ho spako io a -gang of his kinu ono uay, And tho themo of his tale was an an cient themo, and the text of an ancient lay; And again ho asked, as others havo asked (and many a man shall ask), "Now what is tho blame to our honost name, tho blight on our mighty task? - "Their books aro full and their papors too, with the flame of others than wo, Ye read onch (lav of Croker and Qnav. and tho scraps from over the sea; And It's Captain This and It's General That, and tho wedding of Lord Dedd-Broke But there's nary a hear for the en gineer, 'tis a name that never is spoke! "Wo build tholr bridges, wo build their roads, wo tunnel tholr moun tains steep, Wo build tholr ships, and wo run them, too, on the salty and treacherous deep-, Wo dam tholr rivers and make their mapB, naqHglittlielr"cltleBatr night, But no caress from tho public press ' why isn't this wrong mado right?" Then another arose from a corner chair, well up In tho firelight's glow, His hands wore rough, and his framo wastough, and his laugh was deep and low; And ho smote the board with his ompty stein, and ho waved his rooking pipe: "I wot mo well of this social hell but pluck ye tho fruit that's ripe! ,f) "Tho onglnoor is a power, lads but a power behind tho throne; Their scrap, and hustle, and scandal tales but leavo us tho more alone; Their preachers preach, and their law yers law, and nono Is heard for the din, But while the sit wo get up and git, and gather he greenbacks. In! "What caro wo though they know us not, or kon of our mighty craft? They can't dispense with our need Im mense, wo could anchor 'em fore and aft! And tho loss thoy know the more they must pay, for tho work of us un- i known folk. .. So here's a beet to tho engineer, the man who never goes broke." ENGINEER'S RALLY. The Engineer's grand rally and smoker wll lbe hold in Brownell Hall, at 1Q7 So. 11th, Thursday evening, May 7th, at 8 o'clock. Chairman Sul livan and tho committee havo spared neither tlmo nor money in preparation of this stupendous event. Innumer able real stunts aro slated for that night, and in addition, thero will bo A real treat In the lino of smokes, as a consignment of cheroots,, built of tho purest upland Havana tobacco, havo been imported by' the commit? ,'toos expressly for the occasion! Every professor, Instructor, and student In tho entire Engineering Col lege should make a special effort to attend this, the. last Engineer's smok er of the year. - , -i I ? -i W JL- t GLOBE iML ZL W.
