...metals occur in concentrations as small as one millionth of a gram in a cubic centimeter of blood. Until ten years ago, it was regarded as impossible to make accurate measurements of these minute quantities. But recent advances in microchemistry and emission spectroscopy have yielded results accurate to two percent...
...Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda, Calif, sorting out a mass of puzzling data and trying to find answers. In his laboratory, four assistants were slicing little samples from the flesh, liver, intestines and gonads of a batch of frozen fish from Johnston Island. After grinding and centrifuging, a cubic centimeter of fluid from each sample was injected into the belly of a mouse. If the sample was weakly poisonous, the mouse got sick but lived; a moderately poisonous sample should kill it within 36 hours, and a strongly poisonous sample within an hour...
...looking in a mirror suspended above his head, a donor can watch the small apparatus that is the object of all this research. Only about six-cubic feet in size, this transparent-walled blood fractionator will be the pilot model for future production...
...Oates's newest pipeline will boost the Chicago area's natural-gas supply by 374 million cubic feet daily, an increase of 73%. Gates is working on still another method of satisfying his customers. His company has leased 12,000 acres of land outside Joliet, under which is a domelike geological formation. In the next few years, Gates plans to start pumping surplus gas into the ground there each summer, store it for use in the peak winter season. Developing this vast storage space (90 billion cubic feet) will cost $50 million, but spending that kind of money...
...second plant in Des Moines and working on a $1,000,000 expansion of its San Diego plant. In California, Solar will make an eye-opening new gas turbine engine which the company unveiled a fortnight ago. Its new "T-45" weighs only 165 Ibs., displaces but two cubic feet, and runs on diesel oil. The Navy was looking for such an engine for power launches, pumps and other shipboard uses. Said Rear Admiral W. D. Leggett, Deputy Chief of the Bureau of Ships: "[It is] the simplest practical gas-turbine engine...
