...observations. Soon after lunch on Jan. 14 their three important minutes came to these men. Cables began whisking the news back to civilization. The objectives and seeming successes of science had been: Data for determining the structure, shape, temperature, motion (if any) and "coronium" (unknown constituent element) of the flame-fringed corona-good photographs obtained with cameras up to 62 ft. long.

Song of the Flame.* Have Messrs. Harbach and Hammerstein, authors of Rose-Marie, repeated? They have not, quite. They have scrambled up some princes and peasants in the hot pan of the Russian revolution, unscrambling them again in Paris-a moderately tasty plot, but lacking romance's true savor.

...principle of heat-induced ice is simple. Apply a vacuum pump to water, draw off the vapor, the result is ice. Silica gel grains act as a pump. In the pores of the silica gel, the vapor liquefies, giving it enormous power to absorb vapor. With a small flame under the gel the condensed vapor is driven off, so that its absorbent qualities are unimpaired until the remaining water is frozen...
