...British-Soviet trade relations with an order in council. Last week Comrade Litvinov agreed to free the two engineers if His Majesty were "advised" (i. e. ordered by the British Cabinet) to revoke the order in council. In Moscow the engineer-prisoners knew nothing of this dickering. Suddenly their cell door clanged open. "Pack your kits!" barked the Soviet warden. Nervously, not knowing whether they might be going to Siberia or worse, the two Englishmen packed. "Now come this way. March!" Engineers Thornton and MacDonald marched down a series of corridors and out into an open courtyard-just the place...
...mosaic on the mica is in effect a photo-electric cell flattened out and each particle is a tiny photocell in itself. When lights and shadows of any scene fall upon those particles, the light waves set up a positive electro-magnetic tension in the particles. The oscillating cathode beam of electrons discharge that positive tension. Thus each particle is alternately charged by light waves and discharged by the electron beam 24 times a second, which is a comfortable frequency of illumination for the human...
...which made him hear, the amounts of energy which stirred his senses of taste, smell, touch. He examined the brains of beasts and men and concluded, he said in Chicago last week, that for every kind of outside impulse to which man is sensitive there is a particular, infinitesimal cell in his brain. We do not see ultraviolet light or feel infrared heat simply because we have no brain cells to receive those impressions. The impressions which do stimulate our brain affect it by pulsating radiations along distinct nerve cells. Thus "all our sensations rest upon the circulation of electric...
White Blood. Much as Dr. Jean Valjean Cooke of St. Louis disliked stating, intensive local research has failed to disclose a cause or cure of the disease called leukemia. In this disease white blood cells which normally should number 7,500 per cu. mm. multiply in some cases to as much as1,000,000 per cu. mm. Overproduction comes from the blood-making (hematopoietic) elements of the spleen, marrow and lymph glands. Death invariably results-for acute cases within three months. Chronic cases may hang on for five years or longer. Radium and x-rays, arsenic or benzol cautiously administered...
Bernard Marcus, convicted president of Bank of United States (whose executive vice president, Saul Singer, last fortnight had a uniformed chauffeur deliver an oriental rug for his cell at Sing Sing) applied for transfer from Sing Sing to New York State's new wall-less, bar-less prison at Wallkill, which convicts call ''The Country Club." His application was denied because authorities feared his onetime depositors might protest. ∙ While fire swept through the second & third floors of his home near Baltimore. Author F. Scott Fitzgerald stopped rescuing furniture long enough to answer a newshawk...
