...Joseph said unto Pharaoh . . . look out a man discreet and wise . . . and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine...
...save food and water, the mulatto was left overside to swim for it. Ten years after the event, Bulldog, by now a Member of Parliament, receives a letter from the supposedly dead man threatening to expose the others as having plotted his death. Three men gather at Bulldog's castle in the Isle of Skye to decide what to do. The novel's outcome should not be told, for suspense is the book's chief asset. But it also points a moral-clear to all castaways-that no man is fit to judge another's right...

Much the same result can be accomplished by amplifying dim light instead of gathering more of it. Dr. Albert G. Wilson, director of Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., believes that a 40-in. telescope equipped with a Lumicon will equal a 240-in. telescope in luminescence. The 200-in. Hale telescope on Palomar Mountain, the world's biggest...
