...after the gaseous smoke has cleared away from the wreckage of the next Continental war to which this nationalism fostered by the dominant class today is rushing us, there remains enough life to carry through a social revolution, it will doubtless be effected in every nation of Europe, and a federation of communist states established. (That limited prediction is by no means a wild, baseless forecast. Almost any observer of the European scene would second it.) Whether that system could keep the peace among its component parts can never, of course, be adequately settled until it has been tried...
...toward him from a high altitude about 300 mi. away. The brilliance lasted eight or ten seconds, then broke into two clouds- one brilliant blue, the other yellow and flame-colored. The clouds soon seemed to merge. The luminescence faded after a half-hour. Groundlings at Albuquerque noted the gaseous glow for half an hour. Colorado Springs saw it for three times as long. The few groundlings who saw the meteor itself called its color blue-white...
...noticed that an extremely bright, fiery thread extended backward from the main mass before it spread out into the gaseous brilliantly shaded tail, which may have been between 50 and 100 miles long." One million meteors enter the earth's atmosphere each hour, become incandescent from friction. But rarely are astronomers able to photograph the hot spots and analyze the spectra. Last week Harvard's Dr. Peter Mackenzie Millman proudly reported that he had spectral pictures of nine meteors. Six, possibly seven were mostly stone. All contained some iron (heated to vapors of between...
...Philadelphia last week Sir James repeated his theory of the solar system's development: the sun and another star once upon a time passed close to each other, a rare celestial occurrence. The passage caused enormous tides in the gaseous sun. Streamers of sun material sped into the void, broke away from the sun, coalesced into planets...
...mind-shattering explosion. The racers were friends & relatives of 238 men in the mine. First to arrive manned the shaft elevators, went down into darkness. Tense minutes passed before they brought up more than 100 frightened, lucky men who had been near enough the shaft to race away from gaseous Death. Soon the fatal "black damp,"* cause and aftermath of most coalmine explosions, rushed up into the wooden shed, drove rescuers back gasping. They were frantic, unorganized. The company's president, William Ewing Tytus, its vice president, P. A. Coen and the mine's superintendent, Walter Hayden, were...
