FRANCES LAWRENCE BERNHARDT, artist and photographer, makes a specialty of interiors, flash lights, etc., of students rooms. Address, "The Greame," 88 Hancock street. References; Professor George Kittredge, Alexander Pope, the animal painter, Ex-U. S. Attorney Seherman Hoar, Mrs. Kehew, Pres. E. and I. Union...
Professor Trowbridge has lately been able to prove by this apparatus that the length of the spark is accurately proportional to the voltage. This fact, which has long been doubted by various German scientists, can be used to ascertain the voltage required to send a flash of lightning a given distance...
Professor Trowbridge has discovered that a flash of lightning travelling through two miles of air meets with no more resistance than a flash going through two feet of air. This discovery practically reverses Ohm's Law, that the resistance which a current overcomes is proportionate to the distance traversed, in its bearing upon air as a conductor. The law still holds with regard to other conductors such as copper wire...
Till now it has been an open question as to how many volts are required to create the flash of the Crooke's tube. This Professor Trowbridge has settled by means of the new battery. Instead of the 20,000 volts which were before considered necessary, he has found that 100,000 are needed to produce the flash, and that with increasing voltage the picture becomes steadily plainer. This current, acting through one ten-millionth of a second, develops one million horse power...
...half opened with another of Newell's brilliant plays. Brown had the kick off. Brewer returned the kick on the first down. Newell was down on McCarthy like a flash. McCarthy fumbled, Newell got the ball and at once scored a touchdown...
