Chemistry Professor Tells of the
Conditions in South
Africa
"South Africa is a wonderful place
and I hope to go back there some
day," said Prof. Ernest Anderson of
the University chemistry department
to the Arts and Science freshmen this
week. "The population, the country
and the institutions there are not ht
all what many people think them and
the lnnd is one of the most delightful
places to live in that there is."
Professor Anderson was for some
tinio an instructor in one of the uni
versities" in Capo Town and has seen
much of the country and its peoples.
According to him, the white popula
tion dresses and acts much like thb
natives of our own country. They
wear clothos made in Europe or Am
erica, ride in automobiles, have street
ears, railways, farms, mines and many
other industries. One noticebale fea
ture in the women's dress is that they
all have bobbed hair and smoke. It
is not only the men there who indulge
in the filthy weed, for girls on the
streets and on the college campuses
rro continually seen with cigarettes
in their mouths.
The days routine in the Cape Colon
les, according to Professor Anderson,
is modeled much on the Dutch custom.
There are five meals or lunches a day,
three of which consist of tea and cake.
Everything is done leisurely and the
whites leave all the work to the black
"boys," as all negro men, old or
young, are called there. Professor
A ii:lmcnn .m Ilia nrrivill thprp tl'ieil

population staring at him and won
dering how lie had become so hard up
Whiskey Very C ommon
Whiskey and soda drinking is very
common in the South African state;
and it is taken for granted that every
one drinks. Professor Anderson con
fessed that ho became so used to th(
custom that his wife had to interfere
liifru Iia null ih ruwist t:ikin? one with
friends. The currency in circulation
them is Enelish pounds and shillings
so that anyone from the United States
would find it difficult to do much
shopping without feeling that maylv
he had been cheated. When Professor
Anderson came back from his sUv mi-
dor those conditions, however, he
found that the positions had been re
versed and that he had to translate
American dollars and cents into Eng
lish pounds and shillings. Another
mannerism ond the streets of the Cape
cities is that all traffic keeps to the
left in the English style.
"There are three large Universities
in the South African Provinces," said
Professor Anderson, "that teach much
the same subjects and are very little
different from Anu-rics-.n or English
institutions. The University of Cape
Town lias about seven hundred stu
dents, chiefly English. It is support
ed by the state although it also has
private endowments. The University
of Stillenbasch is about the same size
as that at Cape Town and is also sup
ported by the state and by private en
dowments. More Dutch than English
students attend there, but cne must
come prepared to take a lecture in
either Dutch or English, whichever
the instructor cares to use. English is
used more than Dutch, however, be
cause more text books have been writ-
ten in English. The University of
South Africa corresponds somewhat
o Oxford or Cambridge as it consists
of a number of different colleges sit-
in. ted in different places and held to
gether only by the common means
of support and by a senate of Pro
fessors from the different colleges
which meets every year. Its' aggre
gate number of students is much larg-
i than that of any of the other uni
versities. The students can hardly

their dress or speech but tnen
French and Dutch names give them

Treatment of natives
The natives in, the Cape provinces
re treated very much like cattle, ac-
ordin2 to Professor Anderson. The
type is a mixture of Bushmen, Hot-
entots and Bantoos. The uusnmeu

are called "boys" by the European
settlers. These "boys" do every Kina
of menial work around the colonies
and give the white men time to do
notihne. When a negro is able to
buy up three or four wives, however,
he lets them do all the work and rests

and makes that region very much like
New Mexico or Arizona. In the inter
ior there -are groat plateaus with uj
medium amount of rainfall on which
stock raising is indulged in.
"The real industry of South Ameri
ca," said Professor Anderson, "is min
ing. Gold minea were in existence
in the central regions there whhu
Mexicoo City wasn't and when the
Queen of Sheba sent boats to South
Africa to get gold lor Solomon. There
are ancient buildings in that part of
the country that have the religious
symbols of Ancient Persia emblaz
oned on them, Knowing that at least
some of the ancient near easterners
had penetrated that far.
Gold and Diamond Mines
"At present there are the greatest
gold and diamond' mines in the world
in the central , part o the Cape col
onies. The Tremier mine at Peoria
is a mile across and over five hun
dred feet deep. It is dug, as ure all
the "dry" diamond mines, in the crat
or of an old volcano. The work is
done mostly by machinery as thous
ands cf tons of earth have to be
removed to get at a compartively few
diamonds. Diamonds were first found
in the alluvial deposits along rivers
where they had been washed from the
craters by rains. These alluvial de
posits were what caused the big
rushes in the seventies.
"As large as the diamond mines
are," Proessor Anderson declared,
"ihe gold mines at present are three
times as important."
The waving corn ields of Nebraska
are rather monotonous when com
pared with the beautiful drives out
side Cope Town. These drives have
views of sea, forest, mountains and
plains. In fact there is a wonderful
variation of scenery in that vast
southern area about .ten times the of
Nebraska. The South African rail
read has a line some 2,500 miles long
through these states and it furnishes
accommodations as good as the Bur
lington from Lincoln to Chicago, al
thnueh it does not go so fast. Most
u'.acos of importance are reached b
railroads, now, but if one does not
s happen to have the price he gets into

"Men have for a long time made
a kind of cement by mixing mud and
sand together, but it was not until
about the time of the 'Revolution
whe n John meaton was commission
ed to rebuild the Edistone lighthouse
in the English channel, that a good
cement was discovered," stated Mr.
A. J. R. Curtis at the Freshman eng
ineering lecture last Monday in the
Temple, Mr. Curtis is the manager
of the Cement Products Bureau of
the Cement Products company and
also the National President of the So
ciety of Agricultural Engineers.
"The English engineer, John Smea
ton, mixed together limestone and
clay, he then ground the mixture to
a powder and moulded it into blocks
which he burned in a furnace. The
product thus obtained was similar to
Portland cement, as we now have it,,
but it took an American to perfect
the process of manufacture. It is
now made in large kilns, shaped like
rolling pins, which revolve on a pivot
and slant to one side. Limestone and
clay are put in at the top and a torch
flame is ignited at the bottom. The
fuel used in the torch is finely pow
dered coal, forced in under air pres
sure. Powdered coal in this state is
an explosive as gun powder?"
In the last forty years, the produc
tion of cement has increased from
42,000 barrels to over 96,000,000 bar
rels per year. There are men, now
engaged in the cement industry, who
have seen the production increase one
thousand times. Cement is used in
many and varied ways, during the
war, ships were made of it.
Uses for Cement
A farmer reported 167 different
uses for it on his farm. In the con
struction of the Panama Canal, over
5,000,000 barrels or 20,000,000 sacks

lustrate how large a quantity one
million, barrels of cement is, the fol
lowing figures were given in Chicago
there are about 3,000,000 people with
640,822 houses averaging six rooms
per house, one million barrels of ce
ment would make 802, 800 six-room
houses made out of solid cement. It
would take 10,000 trains with fifty
cars in each train to carry this
amount of cement.
Portland cement is so heavy that
if it has to he shipped very Tar, the
freight rates would eat up all the
profit. One of the duties of the Ce
ment Bureau is to increase the de
mand for cement in the vicinity of
the factory. Education as to the use
of cement, research work and the
promotion of the use of cement are
some of the other duties.
The Cement Bureau has twenty
five local offices all over the country
with the head office in Chicago. One
of their chief aims is to help the
farmer with his cement problems. As
many as one hundred farmers have
been aided in one day at the head
office. Many research tests are be
ing carried on in the states. One of
the most interesting of these is the
feeding of hogs and catle nn cement
floors. If hogs are fed on a dirt floor,
much of the feed is wasted but on a
cement floor they are able to get. all
of the feed. So far, a saving of
eighty per cent has been reported.
