Vegetable oils occurring in cottonseed, linseed, copra, peanuts, are held in microscopic cells. About these cells there is a hard crust, largely cellulose, which must be cracked to release the oil. Of the three commercial methods, which produce some seven million tons of oil per year, the most used is the pressure method...
...lower a large shallow bucket down the well in the hope that the duck would swim into it. Several times the duck did so, but always flopped out before the bucket could be hauled to the surface. Scheme B was to tie fish lines to hard indigestible crusts of bread in the hope that Yusuf's duck would swallow line and crust, allow himself to be hauled to the surface. Yusuf's duck did not. Scheme C : a reward was offered to any citizen of Ihlamour who would allow himself to be lowered 50 feet down the well...
...most of Newfoundland, however, the hills and high tablelands are deeply carpeted with a mantle of angular frost-broken and lichen-crusted material; transported boulders are not seen, or are small and conspicuously weathered; and the cliffs have very high talus-slopes, such as that of Hannah's Head on the lower Humber. The largest area in which the surface mantle is undisturbed and the rock-walls covered with a rotted crust that has never been scraped off is on the western side of the island, embracing the Long Range of mountains and the adjacent foreland...
...Harian T. Stetson, director of the Perkins Observatory at Ohto Wesleyan University, for which the mirror is being cast at the Bureau of Standards, discussed land-tides similar in origin to the tides of the ocean. That the earth's crust actually shifts as a result of the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth is the theory advanced by Dr. Stetson...
...such depths, or deeper, Dr. Shapley would have his plutonic laboratories. Ph. D. moles would record the pulsations of the earth's crust which, according to one theory, is as rigid as steel and as elas- tic, rather than viscous, like stiff pitch. They would verify the hypothesized drift of North America from Europe and South America from Africa. (As can be seen on a globe, the continents would roughly fit together.) Such scientific gnomes might be able to determine the existence of an interstellar ether. They could certainly measure the relation of earth heat to earth depth. They...
