...down into carbon dioxide and water. But some lactic acid is reconverted into glycogen, which is then available for further energy release. Last week Dr. George Bogdan Kistiakowsky and five co-workers of Harvard compared this operation to that of a gasoline engine supercharger, which uses the energy of exhaust gases to pump air at high pressure into the firing cylinders. The scientists told how they followed the reconversion of lactic acid into glycogen by means of radioactive atoms ("tagged atoms") of carbon...
...Airplane engine carburetors have been vastly improved since the old cork-float type, but they still tend to get clogged with ice in a certain temperature-humidity range. This can be prevented by valving in hot air from the exhaust stacks. But if anything goes wrong with the hot-air valve, the engine conks just the same. To get rid of carburetors, fuel-injection systems have been devised to shoot into the cylinders tiny jets of liquid gasoline...
...chic in profaner abodes. White stucco-walls of a peculiarly warm tone, a few austere paintings (not all religious), and plain dark furniture (not all antique) are as suitable to monkish taste as to "The Home Beautiful." The brothers' wholesome fare is supplied from a flashy kitchen with air exhaust, at a cost of 141/2 cents per meal (attention Harvard Dining Halls). Their cells are considerably smaller, but lighter and cleaner than those across Boylston Street. Enterprising fathers can climb on the belltower, where boxing gloves have been seen to peep out of a dark corner...
...sending you a recent photo of myself, not that its publication will again exhaust your sales in Memphis; but merely to convince you that I am not so much like a "nigger prize fighter" as your burlesque made me appear...
...mouth watching the test flights of a new pursuit ship that the U. S. Army Air Corps called XP-39. Slim as a lance, it ripped across the field faster than anything they had ever seen, faded to a dot against the sky before the thunder of its exhaust had echoed off the hangar walls. And when it came home to roost, at the hangar of Bell Aircraft Corp., it waddled up to the apron on three wheels with its tail in the air, something no pursuit ship had ever done before. More mindful of its deadly speed, its paralyzing...
