...looked like strange creatures from the marine underworld. To the face of each was attached one of the new Momsen-Tibbals "lungs"-a mask like device with nose-clip, mouthpiece and two flexible tubes to a pouch worn on the chest. The pouch contains soda-lime, to absorb exhaled carbon dioxide, and compressed oxygen for inhalation. Over the head fits a caplike helmet with waterproof goggles...

...competitive groups of metallurgist-salesmen chafed last week at industry's slow take-up of a scientific development-tungsten, carbon and cobalt so combined that they made a new material for cutting-tools. The men on one side were employed by the Carboloy Co., General Electric subsidiary; on the other by Thomas Prosser & Son, for 75 years U. S. selling agents for Krupp. Both Krupp and General Electric have independently developed similar metals. Krupp calls its widia (from wie diamant, "like diamond"); General Electric calls its carboloy...
...Technology worked on the problem 17 years and, last week, reported success. His synthetic he calls Hematine. In normal breathing, the blood's hemoglobin, which includes hemochromogen (compound of hematin), takes oxygen from the lungs and forms unstable oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin readily gives its oxygen to body cells. When carbon monoxide is breathed, very stable carbon monoxide hemoglobin* results and the body cells cannot burn off their wastes, death results. In such poisoning Prof. Fischer's synthetic hematine may possibly be injected into the blood. Animal experiments with it are under...
Since Friedrich Woehler a hundred years ago accidentally manufactured urea, scientists have synthesized more things than exist naturally in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms. Carbon is the base of most of these new products. As diamond it is the most precious natural substance, as coal the most valuable. Carbon plus oxygen gives carbon monoxide, whence grows a myriad of compounds; carbon plus hydrogen gives methane, and its myriad; carbon plus nitrogen gives cyanogen, and its myriad; C plus N plus H gives hydrocyanic acid; C plus N plus H plus O gives urea. There are 400,000 carbon derivatives...
