...moment came when I stretched out my legs; the sense of coldness passed away, and it was succeeded by a beautiful feeling of warmth; the word 'bask' most fitly describes my condition: I was basking in the cold. What had taken place, I suppose, was that my central nervous system had given up the fight, that the vasoconstriction had passed from my skin, and that the blood returning thither gave that sensation of warmth which one experiences when one goes out of a cold-storage room into the ordinary...
...quite unclad disappeared-just as flexion was changed to extension, so the natural modesty was changed to-well, I don't know what. Clearly one should be very cautious about taking these liberties with one's mind, and that is the point; the higher parts of the central nervous system were the first things to suffer." In similar vein at Yale last week Sir Joseph recalled how he had sat in a room suffused almost to the killing point with carbon dioxide gas. Of this odorless gas which appears, among other places, in the exhaled breath...
...symptoms were rather different, but in both cases they were connected with the highest parts of the central nervous system.

The mental symptom lasted about two days...

Theses on such subjects as "French Revolutionary Legislation on Illcgitimacy, 1789-1804" or "Cutover Old Field Pine Lands in Central New England" swell the stacks hidden in the gloomy recesses of Widener, and furnish excellent material for research along such lines, if any is contemplated. They do not, however, lend either to the University Press, or to the College, that general interest and recognition which one would expect...
Longtime tropical friends, both railroad and Fruit Company were given sway in Central America by the same man-the late, great imperialist, Minor Cooper Keith. In 1871 Keith went to the pestilential coast town of Limon in Costa Rica to build a railroad inland. In ten years he was $1,000,000 in the hole with 70 miles built and 4,000 men dead of malaria and yellow fever. To give the railroad something to haul he started to plant bananas at about the time people started eating them in the U. S. He finished that rail road, built others...
