An engineer's education is a lifetime pursuit, a fact which the Society of Mining Engineers of AIME recognizes through its Education Board. Created in 1977 and comprised of six standing committees, the Board addresses several broad areas of responsibility: Continuing education; professional accreditation; statistical reporting; career guidance; scholarships; and educational publications.

THE occurrence of superplasticity in Al-Zn alloys is of interest because of its possible industrial exploitation.' The eutectoid composition (78Zn-22A1) has been the most extensively studied;'-= neck resistant flow and high strain rate sensitivity of flow stress (characteristic of superplasticity) are associated with a micron-size grain conferred on the alloy by an homo-genization and quench.5'6 Compositions away from the eutectoid have received comparatively little attention, especially from the viewpoint of relating the structural

Diphenyl guanidine is used as an accelerator in vulcanizing rubber. Other rubber accelerators are also flotation collectors, e.g., dithiocarbamate, thiazole, and the xanthates. Urea and its derivatives are good flotation collectors,1 and guanidine is the nitrogen analog of urea. These two characteristics suggested testing diphenyl guanidine as a flotation collector. Diphenyl guanidine has been tried in flotation work previously, but references give no details.2-4

Safety considerations apply from two perspectives in conducting shaft inspections for production and service hoists. The first is to conduct the task more effectively while minimizing the possibility that shaft deterioration may go undetected. The second is to increase security and efficiency of the inspection team in fulfilling its duties.

The Committee on Papers and Publications has set June 1, 1919, as the closing date for the receipt of manuscripts intended for the Chicago meeting, which is to be held Sept. 22 to 27, 1919. Manuscripts must be received by the Secretary on or before this date. If they are sent through members of the technical committees, they must be sent to those committees long enough in advance to be forwarded and in the hands of the Secretary by the time specified.

Although China is believed to contain an enormous coal-area, but few memoranda have been published as to the character of its coals. Our belief as to the extent of its coal-fields rests mainly on the statements of travellers of all classes, religious, scientific, etc.,

Between July 10 and August 15, 1918, the Secretary of United Engineering Society, of Engineering Foundation, and of Engineering Council visited 17 cities which are headquarters for large numbers of engineers. His mission was to tell men in all branches of the profession about "Centralized Activities of National Engineering Societies." Stops were made at Denver, Salt Lake City, Reno, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Anaconda, Butte, Duluth,

The most important decline in drilling activities during the past three years was in the Boryslaw-Tustanowice-Mraznica fields and at Bitkow in Eastern Poland. A small drilling increase in some fields of the Jaslo and Drohobycz districts, notably Wankowa, Ropienka and Rypne, cannot compensate in new production for the decline in the large fields.

Abstract-In this paper an attempt has been made to review the cost trends in producing copper by conventional milling, smelting and hydrometallurgical means during the last five years. The primary objectives of this cost analysis are to provide a base for future projections as well as to indicate which cost items are more volatile in their influence on overall cost of producing copper.
