...which many a non-Mexican purse fattened in the past. Most land-owning corporations will have to be organized with at least 51% of their stock in Mexican banks. Those within 25 miles of the frontier of Mexico must be 100% Mexican. "All natural mixtures of the carbons of hydrogen (i. e., "petroleum," etc.) are vested in the nation," and their transference to foreigners is so restricted as to leave most of the profit in Mexican hands. In short, if the laws come into effect and are held to be constitutional and retroactive, hundreds of millions of dollars worth...
...really is a world gas forty seven billion times less dense than hydrogen, four thousand times smaller than hydrogen buibles. And its function is the connecting of all sorts of planets and prophets and worlds and worms. Faster than light, it has evaded the searchers of the past and has such evanescent qualities even now that Captain See sees it as a colossal a formidable Nothing...
...substance that fills all the spaces among the heavenly planets, among the planets' composite molecules, among the molecules' composite atoms. To do this it must, of course, be a very tenuous and insinuating substance. Capt. See figures it is 47 billion times less dense than hydrogen, the thinnest gas known. Its particles are 4,000 times smaller than hydrogen molecules, (the smallest known). So fast are these particles moving (as shown by the tenuousness of the substance) that they go 23.5 times as fast as the fastest electron (electric particle circling an atom's nucleus...
...Baxter '96, Professor of Chemistry, for two years, for research connected with the determination of atomic weights through the density and compressibilities of gases. Results obtained with oxygen and helium have proved very valuable, and it is hoped that in the immediate future the studies may include experiments on hydrogen, nitrogen, and some of the rare gases...
...Whitney, head researcher for the General Electric Co., addressed the Society on The Vacuum-There's Something in It. Last week his title was Matter-Is there Anything in It? Very little, was the answer. Though a drop of water contains some three billion trillion (21 ciphers) hydrogen atoms, there is little that is really "solid" present. If each atom became as large as a raindrop, "they would cover the earth with a foot of water." Yet, "if we made ,one of these hydrogen atoms, which we used to think of as hard and indivisible, so large that...
