Artie-le gives concrete exannpJes of the nethod avcd-fbr
utilizing a charged body in various prospecting work.
The '.ork uses either the isolinea of potential or the
gradient profiles. The authors recommend the second
method, since it gives eaantitative results and is tech-
ntoally simpler.

"on the Resistance and Dielectric Conotant of Rocks in an
Alternating Slectrinal Field" A.Q. Tarkhov, 38 pp
Report on riork done to clarify the exact nature of the be-
Y.avior of rooks in an electrical field. The nature of
the electrical properties of rocks has gained !:icleaSed
interest in recent years, in connection uith the develop-
meat of electrical methods of geophysical prospecting.
Correct interpretation of field data is impossible with-
out a correct analysis of the processes actually obtain-
ing. Extensive bibliography.
"The Effect of Structure on the Specific Resistance of
Aggregates" A.S. Se ariov, 18 pp
In addition to being complicated by the components of
and presence of foreign substances in rooks, the be-
havior of electric currents to rendered more complex
by the structural peculiar.' iae of the?r4oks thsmselvee.
Article reviews the problem of electrical conductivity
in tiro-c mponert aggregates, with equations, tables, and
graphs for computation.
"A Mrs Method of Determination for the $lastlcity of Rocks"
A.O. Tarkhov, 10 pp
The development of the seismic method of geological re-
seoroh;and the advances made by geological engineering
have made necessary complete knowledge of the elastic prcp-
erties of the rock in the region under study. In this
method a steel ball is dropped on a small polished ample

slLaetio properties of the sample calculated from the height
the ball bounces. Diagram of apparatus.
