Where the meters show a level plain or plateau of hidden rocks the air will be lightly and uniformly ionized over large areas and there will be practically no cloud-to-earth lightning flashes. But where the underground profile is jagged with peaks and valleys, the irregular ionic counterparts in the air induce lightning to crash down the ionic ladders...
Ornate but dusty chandeliers. Blue walls between stained white Ionic columns. A plaster frieze of dancing nymphs like a Wedgwood plaque. That is October Hall in the House of the Labor Unions in Moscow, and before the Revolution the gay dining room of the Nobles' Club.

If these men were found innocent millions...
...those who are really interested in science, be it Physics, Biology, Physiology, or Chemistry, this course in introductory physical chemistry is in invaluable. It covers the nature of matter, the nature of solutions, the nature of reactions, and ionic equilibria and in such a way as to give a basis for the interpretation of chemical facts and principles not only from the viewpoint of matter on masse, but especially in terms of the individual atoms and molecules...
Colored television has become possible because Dr. Ives's colleagues at Bell Telephone laboratories invented a photo-electric cell more sensitive to light than the usual cell. The usual cell depends on the ionic action of potassium and hydrogen. The new cell uses sodium with sulphur vapor and oxygen...
...opening exercises will be conducted in the open courtyard in the center of the building. This courtyard has been carried out in Italian traventine, and has a double arcade with Doric pilasters below and Ionic pilasters and columns above, this motif running around all four sides. The model for this double arcade has been furnished by the front of the presbytery of the Church of the Madonna di San Biazio, by Antonio da San Gallo at Montepulciano...
