...pressure is only 70 lbs. on a gauge, at 1,000° F. only 180 lbs. Those pressures are sufficient to run turbines. After the hot mercury vapor has done its work by revolving the turbine, the temperature of the exhaust mercury vapor is about 435° F., enough to heat water into steam at about 300 lbs. pressure. That mercury-vapor-heated steam operates, in the Emmet machine, a second turbine until its heat falls too low to do more work. Mechanically efficient as the Emmet apparatus is, not many similar plants exist. Mercury vapor is poisonous...
...became one of the 30 concubines attending the young Emperor of China. But the latter was a degenerate. His energy was spent in painting the town violet. Ye-Ho-No-La's problem was to convert the imperial energy to her own use, to induce the Emperor to condescend enough to let her bear him an heir. A son she bore and not only covered herself with glory but became as well the famed Dowager Empress of China (1835-1908). She commanded China's 500 millions, decapitated numerous missionaries, took her fun where she found it, including the Yong...
...yachts around Montauk Point, got the best wind after the turn. The Nina came in seven hours behind the Sachem, at night, but the Sachem had started at scratch because of her slight beam and because she carried no propeller. The Nina's time allowance was more than enough to put her ahead...
...rust, corrode or tarnish. Tin is used by itself chiefly in tinfoil, used in wrapping chocolate bars, cigarets and similar products, and also in the manufacture of collapsible tubing, as in shaving-cream and toothpaste tubes. Tin can be hammered so thin that one pound of tin is enough for 18,500 square inches of tinfoil...
World population now is about two billion. At the present rate of increase it should double in between no and 150 years. There is, the scientists figured, enough arable land on earth to supply food for an eventual ten or eleven billion persons. The U. S. share of those hypothetical numbers is eight hundred millions, about seven times the present U. S. census. The U. S. now has an average of 40 people to the square mile, Australia two, England 700. If all the earth were as thickly inhabited as is England, world population would be 37 billions...
