...oxygen refresh the air, and there is also an electrolytic cell that turns sea water into oxygen and hydrogen, shooting the latter out of the submarine. For emergencies, the Naval Research Laboratory has provided ingenious "candles" made of sodium chlorate and powdered iron. When they are ignited, they emit oxygen, not the carbon dioxide that is given off by ordinary candles...
...play for the smaller catch, the Club's secretary, Peter J. Enderlin '61 is investigating an electronic method in which fish are attracted by electrical impulse. Discovered by a German scientist named Kreutzer, to whom Enderlin has written for advice, the system utilizes the finding that fish emit and are attracted by characteristic signals, similar to bird calls. The Club hopes to land tuna by this method...

She can belt it out with the best of them when belting is required, but she has a comic sense unusual in a soprano, and manages, almost miraculously, to avoid giving the impression that she is about to emit a "ho-jo-to-ho," grab a horse, and make it back to Valhalla...
Evidence which would seem to back up this theory was that the 27-day period of rotation of the sun (with its spots and flares thought to emit charged particles) corresponded roughly with the periods indicated by the satellites, and that the sharp increase in acceleration at the end of August was also two weeks of strong geomagnetic activity. The problem that remained was to find some traceable phenomenon of the sun that could be compared with the daily fluctuations in the acceleration of the satellites (by this time all five satellites showed the same acceleration characteristics, which occurred simultaneously...
This process accomplishes a gradual and comprehensive replacement of the indistinct general terms by the technical ones. "Filament" replaces "fine wire"; "emit" takes the place of "glow" and "give off light", and then the word "emit" is inflected in different ways for greater familiarity with terms...
