...last issue of Der Medizinische Welt, leading German medical journal, Dr. Berger published the results of his experiment. The Elektrenkephalogramm, as Professor Berger called the galvanometer record, showed plainly that the brain produced electricity. Comparison of figures seemed to indicate that electric current decreases as mental activity increases. Dr. Berger distinguished two types of waves, alpha and beta. The alpha waves represented the normal electricity output of an organism when not highly stimulated. The current generated was .2 microvolt. Beta waves represented the brain's electricity production when the subject was stroked by the glass rod, told to figure...
...decreeing that a cinema, specially produced for the occasion under the title The Emperor Franz Josef as Ruler and Man, was improper fare for Austrians under 16 years of age and "calculated to mislead the youth of the country." Austrian royalists had tried to arouse some enthusiasm for Der Alte Kaiser fortnight ago during bourgeois Vienna's enthusiastic celebration of the 125th anniversary of the introduction of the Wienerwurst, by broadcasting the fact that Franz Josef's breakfast was almost invariably a pair of sausages, a portion of horseradish and a mug of beer. Last week they did their centenary...
With Byrd at the South Pole (Paramount). No matter what the scientific value of the Byrd expedition, there is no doubting the fact that Byrd's two photographers, Joseph Rucker and Willard Van der Veer, did some epic work. They show you clearly what an exploration party is like: men dealing minutely with a great isolation, making laborious preparations against hypothetical crises, living every day so as to come a step nearer an illusory goal. Pushing past the Ross Barrier (wall of ice guarding Antarctica) to and over the Queen Maude Mountains, Byrd and his men moved...
Under the award the U. S. must pay $10,773,000 for seven big ships which long ago disappeared from the sea. Two (President Lincoln and Cincinnati) were sunk as transports in the War. Four (Pennsylvania, Barbarossa, Hamburg and Koenig Wilhelm) have been scrapped. One (Friedrich Der Grosse) burned up in 1922 on the Pacific. The Princess Irene the N. G. L. bought back from the U. S., rechristened it Bremen, changed its name to Karlsruhe when the new Bremen was laid...
Fundament of the Museum is the collection called Der Mensch ("Man"). Parts of the body are there displayed in plastic, by photographs, in pickle, in transparency, most parts in all four media. Also there are bones. Many a visitor to the Museum last week involuntarily fingered his head when he beheld the Disassembled Man. Fastened to a tall, black board, like memoranda on a bulletin board, are the 206 disjointed bones of an adult. One could actually see what one has been taught but scarcely believes, that the head is made up of a lower jaw and 21 other bones...
