Miss Nellie Barnes Is Author of New Publication
The Macmillan company of New York has recently published a volume of Indian verse, compiled by Miss Nelle Barries. The book is English of the University of Kansas. The book "American Indian Love Lyrics and Other Verse," is in two parts. The first is in translation of the Indian lyrics from the images of the North American Indians, and the second is a brief critical study of postic form in Indian lyrics by Miss Barries, with a forwardnote, Mary Austin of M. N. M.
Miss Barnes has spent considerable time during the last five years studying the rythm and poetic form of American Indian verse and in collecting examples of translation for illustrative purposes, originally before being written in this work while writing a thesis on the same general subject for her M. A. degree, several years ago. Her study of this subject has been done during her spare time, mainly in the U.S., in Dubbo and Taos Indians, although she has spent some time studying in the Field museum at Chicago, Mrs. Austin, who is an author on verse of the North American Indians, encouraged Ms. Barnes in her study and consented to write to the volume just published.
"American Indian Love Lyrics" ) Miss Barnes first published book, al though she has written poetry more articles appearing in the Humanistic Series of the University, and in several magazines.
The book is not a thesis on poetry, according to Miss Barnes, but an anthology of Indian verse for the general reader interested in poetry. For this reason, the foremost work in translating, by European and American persons, of Indian poetry has been included in part one of the book

(Halman, Session)
Propylene is one of the constituents of common illuminating gas, and it is more than twice as potent as ethylene which belongs to the same family, permitting the addition of propylene to illuminate the danger to the patient's breathing. The higher concentrations of propylene quickly produce unconsciousness, and recovery is rapid, conscious, and terming after administration of propylene is discontinued. Dr. Lloyd K. Riggs and Harold Goulden, of New Brunswick, N.J., have made extensive studies of the effects of propylene on vital rats and 15 humans. Only one of the 15 subjects was nauseated by the gas. One subject was put under its influence three times in one day, without any ill effects except a slight tingling. Other subjects which lasted for about 15 minutes after the return of consciousness.

Art Compositions to Be on Display Until December 18
Rich Color Forms, Figures Landscapes and Pencil Swetches Form Collection
A collection of decorative compositions by Mrs. Margaret Watkies Boehner of Syracuse, N. Y., has been installed in 894, New Establishment building.
Pencil drawing on the west wall of the exhibition room show small sketches from which were made the large compositions being shown at the present time in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts. These sketches are arrangements of bird and flower forms in combination.
The compositions show renderings of landscape, figure, and flower form, and vary from drawings in pen and ink to more elaborate works, particularly rich, brilliant, and well-distributed, giving an effect of harmony even with the use of very vivid and contrasting colors," said Mr. Hessler. The department of design.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1925
"I have seen some of the large compo-
itions in oils which were made from
the sketches. They are enameled
in effect," said Mia Ketcham.
Some of the compositions are arrangements suitable for *unigrine* covers, some are of general illustrative character, and others are combined.
Three of the sketches on the west wall are the first made by Mrs. Boehner for the decoration of a Russian tea room in Syracuse. Two of these show a procession of Renaissance artists, in which the children are also drawing a peasant home.
"The entire collection," said Miss Ketcham, "affords an unusual opportunity for the study of color and composition in decorative art. We hope many will avail themselves of the opportunity to see this exhibition."
The collection will be open to the public during the next week from the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Amundsen Finds No Land
No Continent Between Alaska and North Pole
(Science Service)
Washington, Dec. 11- Tudor observations made during the three year stay of the "Maud," Capt. Ronald Anundsen's ship in the arctic ice, north of Siberia, indicate that there is no continent or land mass in the great unexplored area between Alaska and the North Poles.
Observations lasting 14 months were made at the Bear Islands with a recording current-metrical and the tidal wave reaches the Bear Islands in such a way that it "seems to come directly across the Arctic" where most land forms formed by land.
"The most interesting result of these observations is that the temperature in winter is always lower than 100 feet." Doctor Severdyrup said.
Dr. Harald U. Swerdrup who has charge of the scientific work of the expedition explained that the principal object of the trip was to make scientific observations of terrestrial magnetism, weather, the Aurora Borealis, sex depth, temperature and air currents.
The lowest natural temperature that can be attained in the region visited by the Maud is minus 50 degreesfahrenheit. Doctor Sverdrup found as a result of observations which indicated that sea water had gained from the warmer sea water below would equalize at that temperature.
