Meat-eating Eskimos suffer from nosebleed because their blood is over-rich in red cells. Dr. Rabinowitch thinks the overproduction of red cells is due to the abundance of copper in seafood. Eskimos do not suffer from diabetes, he believes, because long ago those who might have been susceptible died before they could breed susceptible children. He found only one case of what might have been cancer, several cases of arteriosclerosis among Eskimos living at the white settlements. No such cases were located among the most northerly, isolated Eskimos...

Now the profitable veins have largely run out. There remain a fine fish and oyster business, some mines and quarries, farmlands and a huge piece of South London. These monies go directly to the office of the Duchy of Cornwall in London's Buckingham Gate, only 200 yards from the back door of the Palace. The new King and Admiral Halsey may sometimes be seen...
Setting up the control for a 10-in. design by the Lefier method costs about $5. The design is laid down with insulating paint on a sheet of copper. An electric contact is swept back & forth across the sheet. Through the sheet and the contact a weak electric current is passed. Wherever the contact is separated from the copper by the insulated design the current is broken. This intermittent current is sent to an amplifier, relayed thence to a line of electromagnets, each of which controls a needle in the loom. Thus, for every cross-section of the design...
...Coppers- Completing the roster of 1935 reports from the biggest U. S. copper companies, Kennecott Copper Corp. last week announced that gross income rose 25% to $73,000,000, while profits before depletion, the usual method of showing copper earnings, more than doubled-$13,164,000 last year compared to $5,719,000 the year before.

...last year Anaconda Copper Mining Co. reported gross income of $127,000,000 as against $99,000,000 in 1934. Earnings, however, rose from $1,900,000 the year before to more than $11,000,000. Phelps Dodge Corp.'s sales increased from $36,000,000 in 1934 to $53,000,000 last year. Profits were up from $3,224,000 to $6,147,000. Recently Anaconda and Phelps Dodge boosted the price of copper to 9½? per lb., but Kennecott held to the old 9½? level. Which price will prevail in this curious division of copper...
