Thus a series of distinct, clear pictures was presented-8,000 of them to the minute, so many that the eye could not detect the periods of darkness...
...human heart beats over long periods. They have developed an ultra-rapid micro-cinema camera which photographs the "death" of cells when attacked by intense sound waves. In his Tuxedo Park laboratory Mr. Loomis has experimented for years with "super sound" waves, too rapid for the human ear to detect, which kill fish, paralyze mice, sterilize blood (TIME, Feb. 6, 1928).

Next to their own home and yard, I believe the school is the safest place for children...
