Around a glass tube filled with charcoal he poured liquid hydrogen which cooled the charcoal to almost absolute zero. Then through the frozen charcoal he pumped ordinary hydrogen which, as it poured out of the tube, passed over a wire heated to incandescence. A small mirror reflected a beam of light on a screen.

Eight youths from Browne & Nichols, Cambridge, Mass. preparatory school, responded to the shrill yawps of a blond 13-year-old coxswain last week and won the Thames Challenge Cup in the Henley Regatta, second highest English rowing honor.* Not since 1922 when Walter Hoover of Duluth won the Diamond Sculls, famed single scull race, had the U.
