...Phoenix group, inhabited mainly by millions of rats (descended from shipwrecked ancestors). This party was equipped with a new material for measuring the polarization of the coronal light, a newly invented spinning filter for taking improved pictures of the corona, air conditioning equipment to keep the film cool and dehumidify the developing room, three NBC men to broadcast the performance to the world...
...cool night of Sept. 14 that year Headmaster Speer was alone in his study reading, when someone crept up to the window, fired a murderous volley of buck shot into him, disappeared. Self-possessed Dean Elder became one of the most interesting to press and public of the 63 witnesses who testified at the Speer in quest. Mysterious it was too that Mr. Speer's two big dogs had not barked, as they presumably would have if an un known intruder had made his way through the school's heavily wooded grounds. Because the villain of The Public...
Last week George Austin got an offer he could ill afford to refuse. To a syndicate of Texas oilmen he leased the Jumbo for 35 years with an option to buy it outright within 20 years for a cool $10,000,000.

Mr, Austin also stipulated that should the option be exercised, the $10,000,000 must be paid in instalments of not less than $1,000,000 annually...

...Modern air engines have cowlings which both improve streamlining and help cool the engine by concentrating the air taken in at the front. Engines need cooling most when taking off, for then they are generally turning over at full power. But air-speed is slow then, so the stream of cooling air is not so effective as it is later when the plane is flying faster but when the engine needs less cooling because it is throttled down. To meet these shifting conditions the NACA has devised a shifting cowling with two nose slots. Air enters around the propeller...
