...fusion of the blood vessels of the twin embryos' placental circulatory system, so that twin calves have a common blood supply. Sex differentiation begins in the male embryo earlier than in the female, and the sex-differentiating male hormones (chemical controllers of development) in the blood stream shift the female twin's development in the male direction. The result is that the female is to a greater or less degree a compromise between normal maleness and femaleness. In some cases there are obvious anatomical evidences of this-in others, not; but sterility almost always...

Their initial cost is some 50% more than that of conventional gasoline engines. Newest types do not work directly on the transmission but generate electric power that propels a vehicle without clutch or gear shift.

Since then the New Jersey fleet has rolled up 1.000,000 carefully tabulated, experimental miles and the company's enthusiastic report of Diesel results put new bees in many a busman...

When the Nagaski Maru docked at Kobe on September 8, the wounded soldiers carried in the hold of the ship were shifted to the port side for unloading. There was such a number of them that the shift caused the ship to list heavily to port. These men were loaded secretly at Shanghai; when they were carried off the vessel at Kobe, the passengers were forced to go to the other side...
