...none the less not always appreciated at its true importance : Snook. I am constantly being laughed at because my name is Snook, and yet we are a good family with three of us in the new Who's Who. Homer Clyde Snook is a great electro-physicist. John S. Snook was a member of the 57th and 58th Congresses. And John Wilson Snook owns a 506 acre livestock ranch at Baker, Idaho, and is Prison Warden at Salmon, Idaho. People here in the East don't seem to know about the Snook family, and I hope you will...
Professor P. W. Bridgeman '04. Rumford medalist, and a physicist famous for his research in high pressure, is at present working on the viscosity of mercury but stated, when asked whether he had subjected any atoms to hydraulic compression that he had limited his activities in this field to pressure of many tons upon single metal crystals: At Yale, a pressure physicist has succeeded in making a fat square atom into a long thin atom by means of a pile driver, but the significance of his experiment has not thrilled the scientific world...
...physicist advances the idea that perpetual air currents caused by the difference of temperature in the upper and lower parts of the case are the cause. This theory falls, however, in the chill light of fact, for the case is absolutely airtight...

There lay the significance of an announcement last week by Physicist Ralph C. Hartsough of Columbia that he had perfected a set of mirror-scales capable of weighing, distinctly and faithfully, down to one 280-billionth of an ounce. Gossamer quartz filaments balance the scales, the slightest titillation of which is reflected from their gold-mirrored surfaces by a ray of light. The ray is split by two half-mirrors, being reunited on the scale-mirrors, where any disparity between the wavelengths of the reunited portions is clearly seen as shadow bands. Thus, when the object weighed (1/29...
