...lens projected an enlarged image of the picture upon a screen several feet away from the lantern. In Dr. Lark-Horovitz's arrangement the screen is a sheet of sensitive photographic film 9 ft. from the lantern light. The lantern light is a vacuum tube projecting a strong beam of x-rays. For slides he used a thin sheet of copper or shallow containers of volatile liquids. The copper slide yielded the most striking results...
Dramatically as in an Italian opera a beam from an emergency floodlight suddenly lit the tableau. The emergency dynamos were working...

Typical shot: Christians in a dungeon, waiting to be martyred, with a young and handsome female Christian under a beam of light in the centre...
...follows the correct one in until he encounters a small zone of silence. That tells him he is directly over the beacon near the field. That is enough. Completely blind landings are not required. Near perfection after long experiment are a localizing runway beacon and a radio "landing beam" down which the pilot may "slide" to a safe landing. But thus far there is no thought of flying passengers into a completely blind field. (Occasionally Eastern Air mail pilots do land by instrument at Newark in fog so thick that on the ground, with no radio functioning, they must taxi...

Maybe, suggested Dr. William Hobson Mills of Cambridge, the dexterity of chemicals and people have a common base. To experiment he projected beams of light through inert solutions. Some of the light was twisted to the right, some to the left. Right turns predominated slightly. This may account for the fact that all living things are essentially dissymmetrical, more right-handed than lefthanded...
