...specialist in Röntgen Rays (or X-rays as they are generally called) named after the discoverer, William K. Rontgen, a German physicist...
...Balley, an American physicist, has discovered a "radiendocrine treatment" for old age which promises greater success than the gland operations of less recent fame. Failure of the endocrine, or ductless, glands to supply their secretions in sufficient quantity is believed the cause of senescence, and by a new type of radiation they are stimulated to normal functioning. Dr. Herman Rubin says of the new discovery: "I have had the pleasure of using this newer method of radiation in about three hundred cases, and I have effected true rejuvenescence of cell structure in every case treated. . . . For how long a period...
...Baron William Thomson Kelvin, born in Belfast in 1824, was the most eminent physicist of his time. He published over 300 original papers covering every branch of physical science. He made possible submarine telegraphy, and invented practically all the instruments used by electrical engineers for measurement...
Died. Dr. Robert Simpson Woodward, 74, famed mathematical physicist, for 16 years President of Carnegie Institution of Washington, and onetime President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; at Washington, after a year's illness following influenza...
...position of advantage in dealing with his own Government, but hasn't produced enough results to justify any large investment. The scientific world is unanimous in condemning Matthews' publicity before thorough tests. New names of great scientists who laughed at Matthews' story included Edouard Branly, French physicist, who said that no concentration of known rays could produce the force claimed, and that scientists do not anticipate the discovery of new rays that can. Dr. John H. Morecroft, of Columbia University, says that no scheme for using rays destructively has yet advanced beyond that of Archimedes, who burned...
