UNION CARBIDE & CARBON CORP., which has spent more than $200 million expanding its Bakelite, chemicals and other divisions since the war, netted a peak $124.1 million, 26% more than...
...looks as if bee scientists have learned to deprive them of even these few tender hours. In Britain's Journal of Experimental Biology, C. R. Ribbands of the Bee Research Department, Rothamsted Experimental Station, tells how he and colleagues anesthetized worker bees by putting them in jars of carbon dioxide or nitrogen. The bees soon recovered, but with changed personalities. Young workers that had been tending the baby bees forsook their charges and started gathering nectar, to be stored up in the combs and made into honey.* Older workers, that had been gathering both nectar and pollen (for baby...
Beeman Ribbands is well pleased with his discovery. In some localities, he says, bees pay altogether too much attention to raising their young, and produce too many of them. He thinks that if whole colonies are doused with carbon dioxide, they will stick more strictly to business, gather more nectar, lay up a bigger crop of profit-making honey...
...tanks. The gas moves through seamless copper tubing, in liquid form under its own pressure (eliminating the need for a fuel pump), and is converted into a gas as it enters the carburetor. Chief advantages: the gas sells for one-half the price of gasoline, burns completely, leaving no carbon, is odorless, and runs the motor more smoothly and quietly, requiring fewer changes of oil and less maintenance. Insurance companies consider propane engines as safe as diesel or gasoline...
...Carbon in living organisms comes from the air and is slightly radioactive because of the action of cosmic rays at high altitudes. The longer it is buried, the less radioactive it becomes...
