...dashed out "in all directions," as Leacock puts it, with a fire extinguisher. After the Dean had doused all the innocent bystanders with his chemical contraption, some fine fellow came along and saved the burning car. Professor Hanford then cooly retreated, not a little stained with fire-fighting fluid...
...this plan is not changed-and Nazi plans are notoriously fluid-the entire Nazi slate must thus be unanimously elected Nov. 12. But the voters will have a Ja circle and a Nein circle in which to vote for or against Chancellor Hitler's policy since he took office last March, especially the withdrawal from the Disarmament Conference and the League of Nations (TIME...
...Chemical engineers obtain controlled temperatures of about 900° F. with an organic substance, diphenyl. Highest degree to which water can go and remain water is 698° F. Its pressure against pipes is then almost 2,900 lb. per sq. in. This difficulty gives value to a new fluid which Dr. Arthur Dehon Little, Boston chemist, discovered in Germany and reported last week. "NS fluid" is the cryptic name of the substance. Basically it is a mixture of metallic chlorides-sodium chloride (table salt), anhydrous aluminum chloride and ferric chloride. The mixture turns to liquid...
...enzymes are colloids. White clay (kaolin) filters absorb certain kinds of colloids, alumina filters certain other kinds. Enzymes, which pass through both alumina and clay filters, have a third set of characteristics. By shrewd use of colloidal physics and chemistry Professor Willstatter segregated the three important enzymes of pancreatic fluid-lipase which acts on fats, amylase which acts on carbohydrates, trypsin which acts on proteins...
Almost all that physicians could do for St. Louis sufferers was to isolate them, see that they got careful nursing, warn their relatives not to confuse the disease with infantile paralysis or waste time and money on "cures." Lumbar punctures (to drain spinal fluid), obligatory for the first few days, gave the only relief. Various symptoms must be treated individually as they arise. Some drugs-sodium salicylate, atropine, pheno-barbital-have been helpful in scattered cases in the past...
