According to the management of the new Boston Garden in an exclusive interview with a CRIMSON representative, the deicing process and the arrangement of seating accommodations takes but two hours. After using the space of the ice surface for other purposes a new layer of ice can be created in less than six hours in the early morning...
...supposition, such a straight-going beam would be tangential to the earth's curvature and so never reach distant earth points where radio stations may be. By scientific theory, two possibilities exist. The Kolster beam may be skillfully aimed at the Heaviside Layer† and be reflected down to its receiving station, just as a pool player bounces a ball from cushion to pocket. The other possibility is that gravity will drag the beam to the proper curve of the earth...
...estimated to be 350 miles out. That it exists is the best current explanation for radio static, fading and silent pockets. Radio waves spray out from sending stations. Supposedly some hug the earth on their way to receiving sets; others reach the sets tardily by reflection from the Heaviside Layer. Probably the sprayed waves, going by the two paths, interfere with each other. One idea is that the Layer lies close to earth at the two Poles. The Byrd Antarctic expedition took along a Westinghouse ossilograph to find...
...truth, but is an adversary proceeding. The court has no facilities for making impartial investigations. The machinery for the administration of justice does not, and from its very nature cannot, function perfectly.

Then we removed the matrix down to the bones and chopped a ditch around a slab which measured a few inches larger than five by eight feet. We were very fortunate in striking...
...twelve good chemists and true; the medal was presented by the Chicago section of the society. Atomic pictures are not his only passport to professional prestige. In various oil-and-water experiments he has earned the gratitude of oilmen. By pouring oil on water and letting the oil layer spread out to the thickness of one molecule he has been able to measure the exact size of the molecule and calculate the force with which it clings to the water...
