...Observatory plans to do all possible work in the field of the photographic nature of the sun's corona in light of different colors, ranging from the invisible ultra-violet to the black light of the infra-red rays. For use in this photography, four cameras will be taken into the Maine woods. Another phase of the investigations will include the measuring of the total brightness of the coronal light...
...Graaff demonstrated his machine last week in a dark laboratory at Princeton, a soft crackling sound was heard, electricity "spilling" from the copper balls in a "corona" effect. Before spilling, each ball had stored 750,000 volts from the whizzing ribbons. The hair of everyone in the room slowly rose and stood on end in the galvanized atmosphere. Then came a sharp report and the spectators' hair fell back into place as a bright i.500,000-volt shaft of lightning shot from one ball to the other, the overflowing positive and negative charges rushing together. Significance was that this...
More than any other time of year it was Cuba-time last week-time to sail into Havana Harbor and remember the Maine, time to watch Corona Corona cigars being made in a factory across the street from Cuba's presidential palace, time to tennis, golf and swim at La Playa de Marianoa ("Cuba's Monte Carlo"), finally time to go down and see "Cuba's Mussolini," President Gerardo Machado y Morales, who has just locked 1,000 smart, socialite, yacht-owning Cubans out of their own Havana Yacht Club because a potent member of the Dictator...
...surround the sun showed a new wavelength which scientists had never known before. The visible spectrum ranges from 8,000 to 4,000 angstrom units.* Dr. Mitchell's wavelength was 6,770 angstrom units. The camera recorded what the astronomer's eyes had missed-disturbances in the corona on the east and west edges of the sun, caused probably by violent motions in the inner corona. Evidences of these upheavals were seen shooting out 100,000 mi. beyond the surface of the sun. Photographs showed coronal streamers with unusual strawberry-colored domes. From careful time computations, astronomers discovered...
...address to the Investment Bankers Association of America in th convention at New Orleans on "Investment Possibilities in the South." Instead he made a stirring extemporaneous speech. Excerpts: "We have been living in an automobile, a Frigidaire, a radio era and have been sitting in an atmosphere of a Corona-Corona. We cannot pay our debts and continue in that atmosphere. Let us not fool ourselves...
