...Howard J. Archibald's letter in TIME, Aug. 4, explains curtly, clearly and completely how your Moscow correspondent deduced that Stalin had a pitcher of tea before him when he spoke over the microphone, by hearing over the loudspeaker in Red Square the sound of a liquid being poured into a glass during a dramatic pause, but how did he know it was a "big" pitcher...
...Henry Ford Hospital Dr. Frank Wilbur Hartman and colleagues dissolved pectin in warm double-distilled water, filtered it through fine papers till it had the same thickness as blood serum. After injecting this liquid pectin into a number of guinea pigs, rabbits and dogs with no ill effects, they transfused it into the veins of eight patients. Results: "the bleeding time, coagulation time . . . were not altered. . . . Satisfactory blood pressure levels were maintained throughout. . . . Pectin is retained in the body a short time and then eliminated...
...basis of a cable from a correspondent in Moscow, who was standing near Red Square watching the reaction of the crowd as the Red Dictator's words came to them over loudspeakers. During the silence of a dramatic pause in Stalin's speech, the sound of a liquid being poured into a glass near the microphone could be distinctly heard. Tea happens to be the fluid with which Stalin eases his throat when he speaks publicly. He doesn't care much for plain water...
Tires 100% liquid-filled, to weigh down the structurally light rear end of tractors, provide better traction. The 15% solution of calcium chloride in water will not freeze above -20°, reduces bouncing and sidewall buckling, requires little care because water will not diffuse through an inner tube as air does. The liquid distributes pressure to all parts of the tire, unlike a solid filler. The tire was developed by Goodyear, is not yet on the market...
...Smithsonian Institution and a tire less inventor of solar-energy machines. His newest eliminates many of the circulation pipes which made older models clumsy, costly, tricky. A concave cylindrical mirror, clockworked to follow the sun, focuses the solar rays on a vacuum-insulated tube filled with a heat-absorbing liquid such as black petroleum. As the petroleum heats, it rises to a reservoir, from which cool petroleum then descends into the heating element by gravity. As the reservoir gets hotter, it can be used for cooking, generating steam and even refrigerating (by the absorption method). In a large ma chine...
