...even less nitrogen than is soluble in whale's blood at atmospheric pressure. Peering through his microscope, Scientist Laurie discovered why. He found that whale blood teems with tiny free-swimming organisms, 20 millions of them per cubic millimetre, with the property-familiar in several forms of bacteria-of "fixing" nitrogen. These enable the whale to absorb almost twice the proportion of nitrogen in its blood that a human being can. They save him-when he surfaces swiftly after sounding deep- from the pain and dizziness called caisson disease or "the bends" experienced by human deep-sea divers...

A pioneer in the study of the bacteriophage (bacteria destroyer), Dr. d'Herelle wants to elaborate his work in the clinical field. For this he may go to the new institute for infectious diseases at Tiflis, South Russia...

Through the composition criss-crossed two spurs, showing enormously magnified disease bacteria and a galaxy of constellations. Rivera produced another preliminary sketch in black and white and a third, larger one in full color. Both of these were approved by Todd, Robertson, Todd.
