Dr. E. vt. conara, cuuruuu i
the department of conservation and
survey in the University, intro
duced the explorer to his audience,
which nearly filled the main floor
of St. Paul's church. Doctor Con
dra is a member of some of the
same scientific societies with which
r,nta n MacMillan is airiuaieo.
In the course of his lecture the
Arctic explorer reviewed the trips
that hari haon marie before his time
to the north pole. He told of twen
ty-five men wno were ianeu vo a

Th,n men hnilt a hut there and
waited for a ship to come after
them. The vessel was crushed in
the Ice, and of those twenty-five
men only six uvea to reacu ine
United-States. .
MacMillan Finds Hut
This same hut, as it was left by
that party of explorers, was later
entered by Captain MacMillan and
his party. Many books, articles of
clothing, and cases of food re
mained there. A food supply Is still
maintained In that hut, 10 degrees
from tbe north pole.
The explorer and lecturer intro
duced to his audience the men who
go with him on his trips. Each one
was flashed on the screen In a
characteristic pose. The slides and
moving pictures showed the great
scientific station that came as a
realization of Captain MacMlllan's
dream. He added that "dreams will
come true if you dream they long
enough and hard enough."
Eskimo families and homes were
illustrated and explained by the
man who had made acquaintances
with these people. Tbe visits they
made to the scientific lodge and
the amazement they showed at the
various scientific wonders that
MacMillan uncovered were flashed
on the screen.

BRACKETT TESTIFIES
Professor Questioned About
Influence of Power
Propaganda
Pror. E. E. Bracken of the uni
versity agricultural engineering de
partment stated in his testimony
before the state senate committee
that he Is not Interested In any
work outside of his department.
In answer to questions by Sena
tor McGowan. chairman of the
committee authorized to inquire re
garding any propaganda of power
companies that may have affected
the teaching force of the univer
sity, Mr. Brackett said that he is
Interested In utilizing service after
it is at the farm and not In the
source from which it is received.
"It makes no difference to me who
furnishes power," said Mr. Brack
ett. "The University is investigating
alone since the national electric
light association has ceased to con
tribute. The work is being ex
tended, but the University stands
the cost," he added.
MAP MAKING DEVICE
Lackey Makes Apparatus
For Projection Onto
Flat Surface
rriifpor E. E. Lackey, of the do
na rt men of rpotrraDhv. has recent
ly designed and constructed a map
projection apparatus with which the
meridians and parallels on me
curved surface of a globe may be
nmWfpd onto a flat surface. Into
the various nets of meridians and
parallels may then be drawn the
outlines of continents, countries or
states as desired.
Orthographic, Btereographic and
globular networks may be shown lu
both equatorial and polar projec
tions. The apparatus works equal
iv m-pll in demonstrating; also the
conical and cylindrical projections.
Since mapH occupy sucn an im
portant place in modern education
it is felt that a knowledge of the
nHvnniHFpH mid disadvantages of
maps made on the various projec
tions Is quite essential.
