...report from California, that an oil well in Madera County was yielding nearly pure helium. Scientists were skeptical for two reasons: 1) Exhaustive tests had convinced them that California gases are not helium-bearing. 2) When tested for lift, "helium" often turns out to be nitrogen or carbon dioxide...
...substance of the genes. Dr. Morgan surmises that they are single, or perhaps small clusters of, complex chemical molecules. His view of inheritance is purely mechanistic, his view of life purely materialistic. At its simplest, life to him is nothing more than a sunbeam jiggling on an atom of carbon...
...humans, worms, oysters, plant molds, bacteria and algae. Declared they: "It is probably safe to say that it is more widely distributed in Nature than any known physiologically potent substance." Data so far accumulated indicates that pantothenic acid's molecule is composed of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, that it contains no sulphur or nitrogen. The stuff is potent. A speck of Professor Williams' latest pantothenic acid, extracted from liver, speeds the growth of yeast in 250 gal. of liquid...
...Meat-Packer Armour after the War lost $1,000,000 a day for 130 days, died insolvent in 1927. But the oil-cracking process of one Carbon Petroleum Dubbs, in which he had plunged, made Mrs. Armour wealthy again...
First success in growing the leprosy germ artificially came after Professors McKinley and Soule placed the germs in a special atmosphere of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The youngest of 16 generations of germs grown that way were potent enough to cause what looked like leprosy in laboratory monkeys. Professor McKinley here diverged and with the help of Professor Adah Elizabeth Verder of George Washington University grew another crop of germs in minced chicken embryo under ordinary atmosphere. New generations developed in seven to ten days and accelerated efforts to produce immunization agents. Eventually the investigators hope to devise a skin...
