Last week a more scientific way of dealing with starfish was reported by Science Service from the U. S. Fisheries Biological Laboratory at Milford, Conn. The method, successfully tested in Long Island Sound, is to drop a barrage of quicklime through the water on the oyster beds. Quicklime, which is cheap and corrosive, eats holes in starfishes' skin, exposes their vitals, finally kills them. A quicklime bombardment of 480 lb. per acre of sea floor disposed of four starfish out of five. The chemical does no appreciable harm to the better-protected oysters, clams, crabs...
Department of Chemical Engineering Yale University New Haven, Conn. Although carbon dioxide does indeed leak through rubber 15 times as fast as air, the leakage is still slow. A CO2-inflated raft will carry a man four to six days. CO2 is used only for the first quick inflation: the raft thereafter is kept buoyant by a hand air-pump...

Before the will had been probated, Eugenia Wilson Wackenmuth of East Port Chester, Conn., and J. Gilbert Wilson filed a claim that the person named Marshall W. Hoyt was really their aunt, and therefore obviously not a husband and unable to leave a widow-beneficiary. Asked about the sex of the corpse, Undertaker Frederick A. Gibbs shook his head, mumbled about professional ethics. Documents...
