...five western States, has pioneered with a. 2 ½% alcohol, 97 % gasoline blend, selling at the same price as the ordinary gas. . . . I have used it entirely since February, without any carburetor adjustments. It gives a sweet running motor. The alcohol has splendid antiknock properties. By keeping the engine carbon free it permits the use of third run gasoline, hence giving greater mileage...
...sodium citrate into its veins to prevent its blood from clotting after the heart ceased beating. Next he put the creature, a soft, brown handful, into an asphyxiating chamber which he pumped full of ether and oxygen. When the guinea pig was unconscious Dr. Willard replaced the etheroxygen with carbon dioxide, and with that atmosphere slowly cooled the guinea pig until it was ice-hard. In that dead state the hard, brown handful remained several hours...
...Frank Parish's office. She explained that the agent had promised to help her out of certain financial difficulties if she would crib information from Frank Parish's business correspondence. She got a job in his office in August 1930 and for over a year stuffed carbon copies of his letters into a zipper compartment of her purse. Juicy bits of information were forwarded to Cities Service by means of an elaborate code. Mr. Parish was referred to as a "persimmon." Vice President S. J. Maddin was a "pineapple.'' an other official a "gooseberry." Missouri-Kansas...
...temperature which can be sustained and measured, the positive pole of a carbon arc is the hottest place on Earth. Three Cleveland electrochemists who spend their time studying carbon have established this record temperature at close...
Last week Drs. Newcomb Kinney Chancy, Victor Carl Hamister and Stanley Warren Glass of National Carbon Co. recapitulated their recent experiments and reports for the Electrochemical Society convened in New Orleans. For nearly a century there has been controversy over whether carbon was liquefied in the heat of the arc. The Cleveland chemists showed conclusively that the carbon does not liquefy but sublimes directly from a solid to a vapor as dry ice does. The sublimation point is a fundamental constant of the element and represents the maximum arc temperature. Determining this constant within narrow limits provides, according...
