Ernst Haeckel, Jacques Loeb, the "behaviorist" school of psychologists and many more have long preached materialistic determinism, but it re- mained for Dr. Crile to carry such doctrines to their logical conclusion and posit man as an electro-chemical mechanism, every cell of whose body (and he estimates that there are 28 trillions of them) is a minute wet battery with negative and positive poles...
...burns oil, and her boilers furnish steam to two 15,000-horsepower electro-turbines. Her four propellers are driven by as many 8,000-horsepower motors, giving her a speed of 21 knots...
That cancer is caused by a disturbed electro-chemical balance in the cells of the human body is the theory presented by Donald C. A. Butts, physiological chemist of the Pennsylvania State Department of Health, supported by experimental evidence from rats, and harmonizing with what is known of treatments having a beneficial effect on cancer...
...feat was made possible by the experiments of Dr. Arthur Korn, professor of electro-physics in the Berlin High School of Technology, who has been working on the idea since 1900. Dr. Korn's process is based on the fact that a half-tone newspaper or magazine picture, if examined through a strong magnifying glass, is seen to be made up of hundreds of tiny dots, varying in size and shade, the dark dots being large and the light ones small. Photographs under the new system are translated at the sending end into groups of letters, each letter representing...
...Sperry is a member of many important mechanical and electrical societies, being one of the founders of the American Institute of Electrical and of the American Electro-Chemical Society. During, the war he held the chairmanship of three committees connected with the Naval Consulting Board, has medals and awards from several outstanding societies and expositions of both this country and Europe. Mr. Sperry will arrive from New York late this afternoon for his lecture here, which is to be entirely non-mathematical and non-technical in character...
