'The North Carolina Academy of Science to Meet Here on Nov. 12thaud 13th Election of I Officers. I The 150th meeting of the Elisha I Mitchell Scientific Society was held Tuesday night in Person Hall, f Papers were read by Mr. J. 'ID. Lat I ta, Dr. Chas. Baskerville and Prof. I E. V. Howell. Mr. Latta spoke on "The Use i 1 of the Vector Diagram in Electrical j Engineering." He said in part: r I "There are two methods of solving i I oroblems in electrical ensrineeriny-, I the analytic and the graphic. The I analytic is long and complicated. 1 The graphic, by the use of the vec- tor diagram, is much simpler though not so accurate. It is of great use in short eningand fsimplifiyng electrical problems 1 where only approximation is requir- V- V- . I X4U bVUt V-illV VM l .'l I L I cation to a certain problem where it was required that inductauce be overcome. Dr. Baskerville read a paper on "Tanning.". He gave two of the old methods, showing their difficul ties. Recently a new method has been discovered, which is a great improvement on the others. It de pends upon the action of chromium nitrite. This change to the oxide of nitrogen, which are volatile and ian be easily removed from the leather, tliun avoiding dent rue tive chemical action, which was one of the objections to the old methods. Dr. Baskerville showed some specimens of tanning, given him by Tiffany and Co. They were of rare skins, used for the making of ladies' purses and other things suit able for a souvenir of a goldsmith. Prof. Howell spoke on some work he and Dr. Wheeler are doing in getting coloring matter from mus kadine grapes. They have been at work only a few days, and have not. therefore, reached anything defin nite.
