Burmeister & Wain, Danish motor builders, have redesigned a Diesel which uses oil under 5,000-lb. pressure and takes in its air on the cylinder down-strokes. No time is needed to get up steam, as in the locomotor (15 min.) or the usual locomotive (30 min.). Operating cost is, by report, one-fifth that of ordinary Diesels. The unit is 10% to 15% lighter, and powerful enough to draw a train. Danish railroads are testing...

Harvard is installing a steel pressure cylinder 35 ft. long, 8 ft. in diameter, in which investigators can change air pressure from 60 Ibs. per sq. in. to the legerity at the top of Mt. Everest (5 mi. high). Primary studies will be on heart disease, pneumonia, bends...
