...liquid oxygen in his bomb was leaking into the air. A metal case would have held it, but the glmite had been put in a canvas bag so that there would be no flying fragments. Still no Senator Sheppard. Wailed Mr. Barlow: "It's seeping down through the carbon just like water...
Until last year when Bakelite Corp. was added to the Union Carbide & Carbon empire, Dr. Baekeland used to visit his Manhattan office frequently. Now he is "fully retired" but far from inactive. A hale old man with a courtly old-world manner, he has never had time for politics or social affairs, but his talk betrays an encyclopedic knowledge of world events and history. He loves the sea and sailing, winters at the place in Cocoanut Grove, Fla. which he bought from the late William Jennings Bryan. He dives for sponges from his unpretentious yacht...
...395th shot, the N. R. A. Garand began to falter. During the final rounds it broke down, so hopelessly fouled by carbon that it could not be used until it was dismantled, cleaned, lubricated, reassembled-a complicated job for a soldier under fire...
...explanation of how the sun converts hydrogen into radiant energy, and so keeps on shining (TIME, Feb. 27, 1939). At temperatures above 15,000,000° C. (the sun's internal temperature is calculated at 20,000,000° C.), Dr. Bethe found that hydrogen atoms would attack carbon. The carbon would be transmitted into other forms, but after a series of six separate atomic conversions, it would reappear, while hydrogen atoms (of which the sun has enough to last some 12,000,000,000 years) would be consumed, leaving helium as ash. One cycle would take about...
...Supercharger." Glycogen, a form of starch manufactured in the liver, is the substance which the body uses for quick energy. When glycogen is consumed, lactic acid is produced-mostly a waste product since a good part of it breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. But some lactic acid is reconverted into glycogen, which is then available for further energy release. Last week Dr. George Bogdan Kistiakowsky and five co-workers of Harvard compared this operation to that of a gasoline engine supercharger, which uses the energy of exhaust gases to pump air at high pressure into the firing cylinders...
