...number of minor sports in which class teams do not exist is doubtless in proportion to contemporary interest in those sports. Nevertheless failure to establish such teams is a direct contradiction to any policy of general physical training. Tournaments in wrestling, boxing, squash, create at best a rather unenduring interest in those sports, for the competitor who ventures into action on the spur of the moment is more than likely to give up his venture after a disastrous encounter in the first round. These include the men that, with the incentive of a numeral and the distinction of a place...
...slow progressive shift of the axis about which the earth rotates over a period of months and years has been known for a long time, explained Professor Stetson, but that there should exist such a diurnal effect depending upon the altitude of the moon in the sky was not known until the results of the present investigation were found. From the results of other investigations in progress at the Astronomical Laboratory last year, Professor Stetson is led to believe that the moon might cause a deviation in the direction of gravity as it passed over the meridian of the observer...
...remembers a face, or who considers an introduction of the evening before ample reason for a nod, is no better, in my estimation, than one who thinks membership in the same club with one of these relaxed persons a justification of continued bowing to aim. And there still exist--can you believe it?--those who think playing on the same athletic squad full license for a greeting outside of season...
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...
...them all. Hence the Metropolitan Museum's delvers made rich cultural finds at the isolated fortress of Montfort, old headquarters of the Hospitalers of Our Lady of the Teutons. By further Palestinian exploration, the museum hopes to develop a complete series of armor, something that does not yet exist...
