Yale's robustious, tweedy Professor Yandell Henderson last week recapitulated his researches on lungs. Because Professor Henderson has emphasized the function of carbon dioxide in breathing, post- operative pneumonia may often be prevented, and newborn infants need no longer die when they cannot cry vigorously enough to ventilate their lungs...
...pair of sponges through which oxygen passes from the air into the blood. The oxygen rides with the red cells of the blood through the arteries to every part of the body. Life is a slow, low-burning fire which oxygen keeps going. Product of the combustion is carbon dioxide. The blood, relieved of its oxygen, carries carbon dioxide through the veins back to the lungs. Venous blood is dark red with carbon dioxide; arterial blood is bright red with vigorous oxygen. The lungs inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide. The heart is simply an alert pump in this gas exchange...
...Chicago last week, Rev. Horace E. Coleman, 64, his wife and his son, Horace Jr., 22, clasped hands on the rear seat of their automobile in a tightly closed garage until asphyxiated by carbon monoxide from the exhaust. For 32 years the Colemans had been Quaker missionaries in Japan. They had steeped themselves in Japanese Bushido, the ethical code of the samurai which prescribes harakiri for those facing shame. Learning that Clara B. McGill, a destitute young girl whom the Colemans had sheltered, had made a complaint that Horace Coleman Jr. had betrayed her, they left a note: "This...
...with 246 diamonds. Gems glittered in the neckties and on the fingers of the other brothers. In 1914 the show closed. When it reopened in 1924 interest in the Wild West was dead. For seven more years the 101 show played, losing money. Col. Joe Miller was killed by carbon monoxide fumes from his automobile; Col. George, in a motor accident. Last summer the show stranded in Washington, straggled back to Oklahoma in confusion. Fred C. Clarke, onetime manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was named receiver. Three foreclosure suits were decided against Col. Miller. Last week the auctioneers arrived...
...particles. The particles contained four units of positive electricity (protons) and two of negative electricity (electrons) when they crashed into the beryllium. Two protons of an alpha particle seemed to cling to the nucleus of a beryllium atom (thereby theoretically transmuting that atom of beryllium into an atom of carbon). The particle's other two protons and the two electrons seemed changed into what Professor Bothe considered an artificial gamma ray, which like a light ray is an electromagnetic phenomenon...
