...Tomadelli, of Buenos Aires, purporting to be an eminent electrical engineer, sold stock in his "Electronic Corporation" at $100 a share. He claimed to have invented, in his laboratory at Buenos Aires, a lamp which, by withdrawing energy from the air and bombarding a substance composed of sea salt, tin, copper, asphalt and paraffin, burned continuously for seven months, needed no recharging, and would have burned on till the substance disintegrated, had the laboratory not been destroyed by lightning. Suit was brought against him in the New York State Supreme Court. Many of his statements were proved false or were...
Last year the first two crews began spring rowing before the Charles was clear of ice by journeying to the Shawmut Boat House in South Boston, where the crew rowed on the salt water for about ten days. Yale is doing much the same thing this year inasmuch as Coach Leader opened his spring rowing in New Haven harbor instead of on the waters of Lake Housatonic, where the new Eli boat house is located...
Coach Stevens will not repeat last year's practice by beginning rowing in South Boston, because he has been advised that the experiment last year did not result in any beneficial results. Last spring, much time was used in transporting the men to and from Cambridge, the salt water was usually rough, the shells were not satisfactory, and the men had only ice water for their shower...
...invertebrates, such as rotifers or plant lice, normally reproduce themselves without fertilization by the male, by a process called parthenogenesis (virgin birth). Loeb proved that in many other species parthenogenesis can be induced artificially by treating the egg in various ways, i.e., keeping it in sea water, in salt or sugar concentrations at a certain temperature, in certain acid solutions, pricking it with a needle. In 1899 he caused the unfertilized eggs of sea-urchins to 'develop into swimming larvae and remain alive. Similar results were obtained with starfish, worms, mollusks. In 1916 he developed full-grown frogs...
...standard breakfast foods both frequently sour," according to a recent Harvard historian,--who also goes on to mention that an "Indian was generally the scullion." Thus one realizes that the present day quasi-barbaric dish is ineradicably rooted in hoary traditions. The staple winter diet at that time was salt meat, followed often by "pye." At a later period an Oxoulan wrote of us that. "There was much complaint about the quality of the food and cookery," and in 1791 it is reported by another chronicler that "diluted milk" was served, and that students desirous of postponing the examinations...
