...Saxon. Less ambitious, Marx merely studied Russian, Serbian, Slavic. In one period when he could not work, the scholar read for recreation two volumes on physiology, Kolliker's Histology, Spurzheim's The Anatomy of the Brain and the Nervous System, Schwann & Schleiden's On Cell Matter...
Last week two women scientists explained how plants build the cellulose membranes that form cell walls, a process of vital interest to textile technologists. Unable to see how plants manufacture their cellulose, botanists have supposed for a long time that the membranes were laid down in particles too small to be seen under the microscope. Researchers could estimate the molecular weight of cellulose at something around 162. but they could not find the exact weight, or the melting point of the pure substance, or the molecular architecture...
...fibres in strong hydrochloric acid, the cellulose structure came visibly apart under powerful microscopes. The particles, it turned out, had not been too small to see but were hidden by a cementing substance that the acid dissolved. There were football-shaped bodies some .00006 in. long. As the cell wall was built the particles formed compact strands like strings of sausages, and as string after string was laid down on the cell wall they merged so neatly with the gelatinous cement that the structure looked completely homogeneous unless the cement were dissolved. Aware now of the double structure of cellulose...
Wanda Kirkbridge Farr (in private life Mrs. R. C. Saulwetter) is a shapely, well-dressed, vivacious cytorogist (cell anatomist) who got her master's degree at Columbia, did skin & cancer research in St. Louis, taught botany there, experimented for a time at the Boyce Thompson Institute, is now a government cotton technologist. Dr. Sophia H. Eckerson got her Ph. D. at University of Chicago, is a learned, shy spinster not far from 60. has been at Boyce Thompson for 14 years, is known to colleagues male & female as a clever and learned worker with plants...
...Spring Valley, Ill., when Prisoners James Gardini and Felix Mayeski asked Mayor-Judge Tonelli for mercy on the grounds that they could have escaped from the jail had they chosen, the Mayor bet them their freedom they could not escape. He locked them in their cell, walked upstairs and out the jail's front door, where he was met by Gardini and Mayeski, who had twisted off the rusty bars of their cell window...
