...heavy barrage of water, start to work their way toward the centre of an oil fire. They were Mack and Fred Kinley, famed for their fire-fighting technique. After two days of slow progress, the Kinleys succeeded in removing the twisted debris of the derrick and in placing a gelatin bomb near the well's flame-spouting mouth. The same moment that an electric contact ignited the bomb a special battery of boilers threw live steam on the blaze, snuffed it out. Grim and taciturn, the Kinley boys glanced up as the explosion took place, then plodded away without...
...Ives colored television apparatus contains a battery of 24 cells. A filter or "mash" of orange-red gelatin allows only reddish colors to affect certain cells. A yellow-green filter controls other cells, and a greenish-blue filter controls the balance. Three separate electrical transmission channels must be used. A red gelatin filter makes the bright red neon light the same shade as the receiving cell registered. The yellow-green-sensitized waves go to an argon lamp which glows through a green filter. The greenish-blue-sensitized waves affect another argon lamp with, in this case, a blue filter. Mirrors...
...present O'Grady system, called Natural Color, uses a revolving shutter attachable to any standard size movie camera. The shutter contains a circle of gelatin sheets tinted to allow the seven primary colors† to pass through. As each section or "frame" of the film pauses its swift fraction of a second behind the camera lens** it receives the impression of a single color. Only those parts of the scene that are blue will be photographed through the blue screen; only the yellow scene parts through the yellow screen; etc. The next frame gets another color impression...
...reproduction, a similar shutter is fixed to a projecting machine. Before starting the machine the operator adjusts film and shutter so that the frame that is to show red is back of the projecting lens and the red gelatin before the lenses. Then as the picture goes, frames and color shutters follow in unison and so rapidly that to the eye the colored scene parts upon the projection screen appear as a composite, whole, colored moving picture...
...milk frantically down, then throw it up pitifully. Last week, in a reprint from the Archives of Pediatrics, Dr. H. H. Perlman, instructor in Diseases of Children, Jefferson Medical College, announced the results of his experiments with malnourished children at the Ocean City (N. J.) Seashore Home for Babies. Gelatin was added to the milk for one group of babies; another group received the same diet minus the gelatin. The gelatinized fed infants gained more, vomited less, regurgitated rarely. Gelatin makes cows' milk more digestible by breaking up the tough, difficultly digested casein allowing the digestive juices...
