There is also a demand for the negative proton-which also fails to leave a recognizable track in ionization chambers. Neutrons have been supposed to consist of a positive proton and a negative electron jammed together, canceling the electric charges. But to explain why some neutrons had positive "spins" and some negative, Tolansky of England two years ago suggested that the negative-spinners were composed of negative protons combined with positrons. The existence of positive-negative electron mates, said he, "suggests, on grounds of symmetry, that a negative proton might be expected to exist." Anderson had also declared himself...
...explain the logic of their treatment Dr. Young explained: "Ordinarily there are 80,000,000 fat particles in each cubic centimetre of blood. The body uses them as shock troops against disease. We found that in severe cases of bronchial diseases the fat in the blood dropped to zero. That lack must be filled...
Agent Gray was seeking to explain the wreck of the fishing steamer Lord Ernli, fourth vessel this year to run ashore on craggy Flamborough Head. This sharp promontory sticks out nearly ten miles into the North Sea between Scarborough and the River Humber. Coasting vessels skirt it closely and an abnormal number have lately been getting into trouble. Besides the four recent wrecks, many a craft has just managed to stop or back away in time to avoid piling up on the shore. Agent Gray believes that so many ships have foundered there that the point is almost completely girt...
...next talk of the series will be by Paul M. A. Linebarger, who will speak on "Democracy and Dictatorship in Modern China" on April 7. On April 14 Wassily W. Leontiff, assistant professor of Economics, will explain problems of "The National Income...
...that radio signals could be transmitted over long distances, but from a theoretical point of view they could not understand why this is possible. They saw no reason why this energy omitted from a transmitting station should not disappear into free space and be lost to the cart. To explain this difficulty, Sir Oliver Heaviside in England and Arthur E. Kennelly simultaneously proposed the explanation that radio signals are reflected from an ionized layer in the upper atmosphere and the energy thereby returned to the earth...
