...What temperature corresponds to the enormous pressure of pure radiation, exerted from inside, that keeps the sun distended in a stable shape, prevents it from collapsing by gravitational force? 2) What temperature is necessary for the continuous release of atomic energy, that is, consumption of matter as the raw material of radiation? Sir Arthur Eddington believes an internal temperature of 20,000,000° C. is enough. Sir James Jeans thinks it must be 40,000,000° or 50,000,000°, adding that a pinhead heated to this point would radiate energy at the rate of three quadrillion...
...dangerous animal act featuring the terrified Lion of Judah and the terrifying Lion of Britain, U. S. cotton and copper producers have enjoyed a brisk business with Italy. According to Capital observers, if the Presidential definition of "implements of war" were enlarged to its logical boundaries to include such raw materials, Washington would become a pandemonium of log rolling, back-scratching and lobbying which would knock the neutrality program into a cocked helmet...

Those tried last week were nearly all raw country youths, dupes of typical Japanese "blood brotherhood" propaganda. On paper the Great Plot had been one of the most appalling in Japanese history. But the only weapons of the plotters, aside from the bombing plane which never appeared, was a collection of Japanese swords and a handful of revolvers obviously useless against the firearms of police guarding the cabinet...
