...labor problem, hence the thought of blowing these bulbs by machines - but how? While the mechanical part of a machine that would do the work was by no means an easy task, the greater problem was to have the molten glass of the right consistency (viscosity), ready to feed the machine continuously. The individual glass blower could use his eyes and judgment regarding the quality of the glass, but a machine requires its material automatically, of proper condition and quantity, otherwise the product will be defective. At that time, glass was more or less an empirical product, evolved from tried...
...apart, the upper one drops a rubber hose. As the hose whips about, a man below catches its free end and inserts it into his fuel tank. Thus the two planes are connected by a sort of umbilical cord through which gasoline flows. In the Question Mark experiment, the feed hose would sometimes break loose, the men below would get drenched. But drenching was an incident which did not invalidate this refueling method. Food and messages were also passed between the two planes, a rope substituting for the hose...
Despite the fact that an unannounced benefactor has offered three horses for polo purposes, the management has been unable to accept the gift because of the lack of necessary funds to feed and groom the animals.

The Hoover blast against the debenture plan came after farm politics had divided House and Senate. Farm lobbyists...
...Giants are a nearer possibility. To create them it is merely necessary to feed babies the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, as Harvard's bulldog was fed. Perhaps some experimenter has already, secretly, toyed with a human in such fashion. But Dr. Oscar Riddle of the Carnegie Institution's Animal Experiment Station at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., merely told the philosophers at Philadelphia that made-to-order giants are now feasible...
