Oldtime theologians thought of hell in terms of fire and brimstone-volcanic heat coming from inside the earth, whose core is probably no hotter than 1,500° C. Modern electrical engineers can produce steady temperatures of 2,000° C. in furnaces for the steel industry, and fortnight ago Chemist Robert Browning Sosman of U. S. Steel Corp. announced that with a heliostat and focusing mirror he had been able to capture 3,000° of the sun's heat (TIME, Dec. 21). With gas, temperatures as high as 4,600° have been obtained, but they could...
...Stanley Baldwin who. bungled the job when it was his and has more than a dim realization of that fact (TIME, Dec. 22). Mr. Baldwin and Mr. MacDonald are warm friends. They created the National Government on a friendly basis in dire emergency. Mr. Baldwin is English to the core. He loves fair play, he loves his pigs and his pipe (he bought a new cherry pipe last week, his only postelection exuberance). Also Mr. & Mrs. Baldwin fear God. They see all around them the workings of a Higher Power able to work even election miracles. Last week Stanley Baldwin...
...Nanking is Incapable." Count Yasuya Uchida, president of the Japanese-owned & policed South Manchuria Railway which is the steel core of all the trouble, told correspondents last week with brutal candor exactly what Japan's military leaders in Manchuria have done and propose...
Professor Wegener took a party of German scientists to Greenland a year ago. His immediate purpose was meteorological, his remote purpose geophysical. He had developed a highly regarded hypothesis that the continents are drifting away from each other. According to this hypothesis the core of Earth is very dense material called Nife. Incasing Nife is a shell of Sima. Floating on Sima are slabs of Sial, called continents. Evidence in support of the Wegener hypothesis is the fact that Greenland, Earth's largest island, is drifting westward 65 ft. a year...
Last week, two days before Dr. Michelson died, Dr. Millikan and Sir James joined in a comparative exposition at California Institute of Technology. Sir James's rebuttal to Dr. Millikan's synthesis argument was that as each proton pops away from the core of an exploding atom it generates a cosmic ray. Dr. Millikan agreed that this reasoning might be correct. Nonetheless, he held tenaciously to his own hypothesis...
