According to Beautician Bristol, Crown Princess Juliana first went on a liquid diet for five days, then ate sparing but well-rounded meals and was vigorously massaged, for Her Royal Highness was already muscular and it was felt that further exercise would simply make her more robust. She was given a light face peel, not the harsh so-called "acid peel" but a new European "mineral peel," to improve the texture of her skin. Her hair was thinned and "sculptured . . . widening and softening the waves and setting it closer to the back of her head." Finally makeup experts advised...
...capture the escaping carbon dioxide gas and pass it under pressure through water. In spare moments Jacob Baur worked on a machine to make carbonated water commercially. Soon he perfected the "coke" method now in use everywhere.* Raising $75,000, Druggist Baur went to Chicago, started the predecessor of Liquid Carbonic Corp. on Illinois Street just north of the Chicago River in 1888. For ten years he manufactured carbonic gas for soft drinks, then branched out into bottling equipment-carbonators, bottle fillers, washers, pasteurizers, labels. Profiting steadily, he turned to flavoring extracts, in 1897 launched a line of soda fountains...

In this event, won by Read, each man shoots at a paper model of his opponent, with the first to pierce his foe's heart declared the winner...
...machine used to trap this elusive iota is known as a cloud chamber. Nothing new, this apparatus has been in use since 1910; it consists of a chamber containing a mixture of liquid and gas and several lead plates, through which the cosmic radiations pass--the gas is cooled, and produces a fog track along the path of ions formed by the charged corpuscles. This track of condensed vapor can be easily seen with the naked eye and also photographed, showing up as a bright streak on the film. Thus electrons, protons and the new particles, although far too infinitesimal...
